Quote: 
Those who had taken Week 1 of the Clan of Conquest's class might recognize the female seated on the chair in the room; in front of her was a Guzheng. Standing on her left was a horsewoman who was dressed like a servant ghoul holding a Pipa, and on her right stood a horsewoman who looked like she was of the same age as the servant ghoul, but was dressed in clothing that looked more colorful and decorative.
"Welcome. I am Zhang Liulian, but you may address me as Professor Zhang. Traditionally, dancing is an art form reserved for females, but in recent years, even males had taken up this art," She explained, giving you a small smile, "It requires flexibility, a quick reflex... It is not as easy as you think it might be. In fact, it requires years of practice to get dancing down. Here, let my disciple show you." She turned to the ghoul on her right and gave her a nod; immediately, the young ghoul brightened up, moving to the space in front. When Professor Zhang started to play the Guzheng, accompanied by her servant's Pipa, the young ghoul performed a dance so entrancing, it probably kept you captivated.
"Same say that dancing may even lift your spirits and heal your soul... Why don't you find that out for yourself, child?"Quote: Time to dance!-> Roll these in separate posts and RP it out! -> It's more fun with friends. >_> Step 1: Costume : Just describe/post/draw it!-> Keep it CHINESE. -> Not Asian...

It felt like hours had passed since when she went into Invictus' class. Qlue couldn't help but to toss a glance over her should behind her as she hurriedly strode away from the classroom, clutching the peach charm she was given. She was unnerved. The normally boisterous astrosphinx was subdued, sober even as her boots rapidly took her away from the building and the horseman heir that may or may not still be within it. Where was he now? The astrosphinx threw another glance behind her, and wisely decided to hurry on.
The first, faint notes of music is what attracted Qlue to the room. And once she was in there, Qlue immediately began to regret her decision as a couple of Conquest horsemen assistants all but pounced on her and dragged her over into another room, where they began to hold up different articles of clothing against her skin, as if to figure out what to dress her in.
Qlue wore an expression which read: help me.

Willow had heard the music she'd dressed in a simple Chinese-Lolita outfit, her tail flickered slowly as she walked in, her shoes were simple sandals. Her ice blue eyes watched as the young ghoul dances, she found herself swaying to the music as she listened to the music while watching the dance. She felt almost hypnotize, "Mmm, such a pretty dance."

At last Qlue was fitted into something. The attendants were pleased by her bracelets, and actually found an outfit that worked with them. She had to fight to keep her skull (it was her face after all), but in the end she was allowed to keep it. Even if it did make one of her shoulder sleeves bunch up a bit. There was also the added benefit of said dress being made after a famous fighter. But it didn't stop Qlue from feeling silly in it. Dressed and attired, Qlue found herself shoved out of the dressing room to stare dumbfounded at the dance. Then she cringed. "You're joking. This is a huge joke, right? Right?!" Qlue reached over and grabbed Willow's arm for attention. "Hey! You don't think they're serious about making us dance, right?!" There was a note of panic in her voice.

Junko liked the dancing class more than she thought she would. She was also loving any chance to wear the lovely dresses that kept mysteriously finding their way into her wardrobe, such as the one she was wearing today. She was blown away every time she found one. The first one was still her favorite. She had walked in while a guest student was being fitted for a new outfit, smiling and bowing for Professor Zhang. "It's nice to see you again." She greeted her cheerfully, noticing a familiar student was present as well. Ah! What a cute dress she had! The other student appeared shortly after, and her smile grew brighter...until she didn't seem to appreciate the dancing. "They're very serious." She told the ghoul, looking mildly worried. She wasn't one of their students. She was a guest... please don't be the one Invictus spoke of on the first day. "It's okay, I'm not a very good dancer myself but I managed to pass last time I did this." Was that the problem? Lack of skill?

Willow gave a bow to the Professor once the music was over. She realized she hadn't greeted the professor having been swept up in the music. "My apologies for not having greeted you sooner Professor Zhang. I got a little swept up in the music and dancing you all were doing."
Willow's tail flickered softly as she adjusted her hair a bit pausing when Qlue grabbed her arm. Junko answered for her though, "They don't take things lightly around here either." Willow added with a small sigh. "Hopefully though dancing for you shall be better than the Diplomacy." Willow was hoping that would remind Qlue she owed the tigress favors.
Willow was calm, as she answered, if she had too she could turn in a favor there if Qlue started showing herself. She smiled at Junko, "Maybe we'll all do well today?"

Qlue looked uncertainly at Junko, then at Willow. Then to the professor. Was she supposed to do it too? The professor's stare seemed to indicate as such, thrusting the astrosphinx to bend forward in a quick bow.
The reminder that she owed the ghost made her grumble under her breath, ears and tail drooping. She held her tongue, studying the floor. "Okay," she grumped after a moment, "Then what are we supposed to do?"

Diplomacy? Ohhh, Junko hadn't tried that yet! That could be interesting, but she wasn't sure she could handle that well at all. She'd stick with what she was good at. "Hopefully!" She replied to Willow, watching as the other ghoul seemed to get very depressed. Oh dear. She really wasn't looking forward to dancing, huh?
"My name is Junko, by the way. It's very nice to meet you." She cheerfully introduced herself to the ghoul, wanting to get that out of the way before she forgot her manners. "And all we do is go over here, see if you get anything out of this box..." Junko gestured to the 'blind box' and wandered over to it, reaching in.
...She got nothing. She pouted. Oh well, she'd just dance without a prop.
"You should get a prop but I can't find one. After that you just...dance."

Willow smiled as she watched Junko introduce herself, "I'm Willow, and this here, is Qlue." She introduced hoping the ghoul wouldn't get mad at being introduced.
The tigress walked over to the box and reached in to see if she could find a prop like Junko explained. Willow smiled when she felt her hand touch something and pulled out a paper fan. "Ohhh, this is neat."
She opened to it inspect how it worked and the details on it. Her tail flickered as she moved away from the box to allow Qlue to find herself a prop.

"And don't pronounce it with a "see"!" Qlue added quickly as Willow introduced her. Slowly she was recovering, but that encounter with Invictus still had her shaken. She continued to clutch the peach charm in her hand as she listened, watching the two before approaching the box herself. She reached in...
...and pulled something out. And continued to pull. Qlue ended up stuffing the peach charm down her shirt in order to use both hands to pull and pull until she was holding two streamers. Qlue proceeded to stare at them blankly. "What... What the Jack am I suppose do do with these?!"

"Qlue? How neat! It's very nice to meet you, Miss Qlue." No "see"? Okay. She'd keep note of that. She watched the two ghouls to see what they picked out, standing on her tiptoes as if that would allow her to peek over their shoulders. A fan! How great! She smiled, clapping her hands excitedly. "I used a fan last time!" And she did well! Which meant Willow would too! That's how Junko felt, anyway. Though when Qlue pulled out all the streamers she couldn't help but stare in bewilderment.
Streamers...well.. "I'm...I'm sure there's something you can do." She felt eyes on her and looked back to find the horsewoman and her servant waiting expectantly. Oh, right. They needed to dance for her! "Well, now that you two have your props how would you like to do this? Together or solo? We should probably decide before Professor Zhang gets impatient."
((I rolled for how Junko does, but I'll leave it up to you guys if they all dance together or individually. <333))

Willow was playing with the fan as she tried to get a feel for it. "We can dance together if you want?" She looked at Qlue with a smile waiting to see how the other ghoul felt about that.
Willow's tail flickered as she finally felt like she had a handle on the fan, having a few seconds to practice was, for the best. She smiled at the professor before looking back to Junko and Qlue, "Lets do our best, okay?"
Willow hoped that she really was getting the hang of her student form or this could end up embarrassing.7 - 11 You were a little out of pace with the music, but at least you tried! (1 Horsemen Point!)

"W-whatever!" Qlue spat quickly, following them onto the dancefloor. She was not about to admit that she didn't want to be alone. This was out of her league. The dress, the music, the sheer femininity of everything intimidated her. At least the shock of how strange her current situation was swiftly overriding the fear from Invictus.
Qlue followed the other two girls out onto the dancefloor, watching enviously as Junko took to the music like a fish to water. Even Willow was moving in such a way that made Qlue want to throw her streamers down and run away. But the music had started, and one of those looks from the professor made Qlue take her first step.
...and then she noticed how her streamers began to flutter. Qlue quickened her steps, twitching her arms in time to the music as she tried to follow the streamers as best as she could, ears perked up and focused. She wanted to badly catch them. And chase them. And possibly maul them for a bit.

"Together it is!" Junko chirped, fixing her dress before heading out onto the dance floor with the other two ghouls. She waited patiently for the music to start before she began to dance. She had done so well before, but that had been with a prop. She had to do just as well without a prop.
Junko did her best to say out of their way while still working with the two ghouls' dancing, twirling and swooping and moving her body with the music and..apparently Qlue's streamers.
The music stopped and Junko eventually slowed until she was no longer dancing, grinning proudly and looking to the two ghouls beside her. Professor Zhang was smiling again! She was smiling! They did well! "That was fun! What did you think?"
