[Have a rather sleep mussed Andrew Warner broadcasting himself to the network guys. His hair in a great state of disarray and he clearly hasn't crawled out of bed just yet if the pillow behind his head is anything to go by. Its early in the afternoon and he should be in work, but he probably should have been in work a lot over the last few weeks but he just stopped going.

There's a wide grin before he starts speaking in a grumbly voice.] Hey super-people! [Yeah he really did just say that. Because he was equal opportunities between superheroes and villains.] So uh, I figure I've been here kinda like a month now? Been a full cycle at least an' I'm havin' a total blast there's just one tiny thing.

[He flops back onto the pillows like he was having a conversation with a good friend rather than an entire country of people.] Where's the fun? I mean there's gotta be bars in this place, clubs, that kinda crap? This wolf has a cravin' for some place up-beat where I can shake what the good lord gave me. Any suggestions would be amazin' and y'never know, maybe we could call it a date?

[Shameless. Utterly shameless. He can't even get drunk but that won't stop him from making an ass of himself on some kind of dancefloor. Give him suggestions, good imPorts far and wide.]

[ He has no idea he said anything funny.

And now his head is filled with an imagining that involves Drew dancing, and there's nothing funny about that. He's all right with that image, actually. ]

you didnt dance at the party

[ He means Pan's gathering of...whatever it was. Calling it a party is the easiest thing. ]

is that what you do for fun ?

I was busy talking to this cute guy with beautiful skin.

[Oh he was just as flirty in text as he could be in real life. He curls up around the phone in his bed, plans weren't being made for now but chit chat, that he considered fun too.]

one of em. figure there's a few things I might consider fun ;)

[ Grey likes few things better than when Drew calls him beautiful. He's never thought of the tattoos that way, but he's pleased that Drew does.

He pulls his knees up and keeps his phone hidden in his lap. No one needs to be reading this over his shoulder. ]

i dont know how to dance .

[ He did dance at Pan's party, but his memory of that is strange. The music had seemed to carry him. He doesn't even know if he could retread the steps. ]

maybe id be better at other things

i think i would be .

I could teach you some time. seems like it might be your kinda thing, its all about talking with your body- you've already got a great head start on most people.

[ He can move very well. But as a fighter, not a dancer. Would it translate? ]

ok

if you think you can .

[willinglychanged]

i totally can. you shouldn't doubt someone as amazing as me

[kinesia]

ok

but if i learn

then i get to go dancing with you . yes ?

[willinglychanged]

you can come dancing with me whenever you want, even before I teach you.

I just like you that much :P

[kinesia]

[ He stares at that thing at the end for a good half-minute.

He decides it's a mistake, most likely, and pretends it isn't there. ]

will you still like me if i cant do it ?

[willinglychanged]

aint gonna stop liking you any time soon. even if you cant dance.

[kinesia]

good .

but ill try to dance for you

[ His body can move. All he needs to do is make sure it moves in time. ]

[willinglychanged]

now there's a big difference between dancin and dancin for somebody. we'll figure out the first one. then maybe i'll dance for YOU to give you some idea of what it should be like.

[kinesia]

[ This conversation is driving heat up his neck. Flirting is a new experience for him. He’s surprising himself with how much he wants to be good at it.

He does not think he’s good at it. ]

i might like that
i want to go with you .

[willinglychanged]

hell i wanna take you. Just tell me when :P

[kinesia]

[ That symbol again.

He's going to ask April about it. ]

its ok that i havent been before ?

[willinglychanged]

totally okay. i don't mind taking your bar dancing virginity. i'll totally consider it a privilege.

[kinesia]

me too

ok . soon, then

[willinglychanged]

real soon. got a friend who might like to come with us, too.

[kinesia]

who is it ?

[willinglychanged]

girl called Clary. not sure if you'd know her but she's a total peach.

[kinesia]

i know clary ! shes my friend

ill go with clary .

[willinglychanged]

wait. you know clary???

wtf? dude she was literally the first person I met when I got here. She told me how to get lunch.

[kinesia]

shes a nice girl . she knows some things

but she thinks its boring here

[ Which is a crazy thing, because how could it be? Every single day, Grey sees something new here. There's so much stimulation, it's overwhelming. It's still sometimes too much for him. People like Clary, they don't know how lucky they are.

Grey hopes that they never do. ]

we should go with her .

[willinglychanged]

oh yeah? what kinda stuff does she know? :P

I could get that, it being boring here. I mean... most of that is my fault, ain't like I leave the house a lot.

We can, we totally will. I'm sure she'll be down.

[kinesia]

[ She probably knows what that symbol means, for a start. ]

she knows how to read books backwards

[ He means magna. They had a discussion about manga. It was enlightening. ]

and how to draw . and she knows the world like you do
thats why youre both bored . its not new or big or full to you
not like it is to me .

[ This is the most Grey has ever articulated about this place to anyone, and it’s still not great. Transferring feeling to word is not easy. ]

i want to know it like you do .
