I am not trying to seduce you

Yuuri Katsuki shared a photo. 7/8 near Apprasage

Hi... I've had this app for a while, but to be honest I don't use it much because of how suspicious it's seemed from the start. It's been several months now, and I guess it's obvious that whether I use it or not isn't going to change how it keeps affecting me and everyone else so... maybe it's time to try a different approach, I guess. With that said, does anyone here remember the Macarena? Did you know it's Billboard's No. 1 dance song? I feel like it's really due a comeback, especially with how fun it is to dance to! 🕺💃✨ Remember to drop by Dance!!! Studio if you're interested in dance lessons of any kind. Maybe, together, we can bring the Macarena back! 💪

Are you offering non-Macarena dance lessons as well? Was that on your bingo thing?

[katsudonfatale]

Ah, no, I'm actually a dance instructor

Are you interested?

[judgementkazzy]

I don't think I can dance very well, it just seemed kind of cool.

If you're an instructor it must be hard to call The Macarena "dancing," huh?

[katsudonfatale]

Well, nobody's born knowing how to dance
That's the point of dance lessons, after all

[ Ah, yes. Finally someone who Gets It. ]

It's... a different kind of dancing, let's say

[judgementkazzy]

I guess. But I wouldn't use it much outside of weddings and that kind of thing, right?

[ He is picturing Ballroom Dancing only, I'm sorry. ]

You got it on your bingo card, didn't you?

[katsudonfatale]

Depends? Different dance styles can be applied to different social situations
It doesn't even need to have a purpose, dancing for yourself is great, too

Yeah, that's right

[judgementkazzy]

I dunno, dancing doesn't seem like my kind of thing. Though it does look kinda fun.

How's your bingo going so far?

[katsudonfatale]

It *is* a lot of fun, but I'm... probably biased
Haha

Well
I've... hopefully cleared my center square so far?

[ Translation: I have no idea how I'll go about the rest of this, actually. ]

[judgementkazzy]

Maybe I'll check it out. Even disco seems kind of fun.

Yeah, I have a lot of squares but I dunno if I can actually get bingo...

[ He's helped people out but not actually... paid much attention to his, welp. ]

[katsudonfatale]

Yeah! Please feel free to drop by the studio anytime, we have trial lessons for free :)

Well, for a bingo you only need to complete one line, right?
Do you need help with any tasks?

[judgementkazzy]

Cool, maybe I will. I'm still busy getting ready for ReConvention, but maybe after that I'll have some more free time.

I have to dial up a stranger and grant a friend's wish. Or sing a ballad to a stranger... but that seems even more intimidating than calling someone up randomly.

[katsudonfatale]

What are you doing at the con?

Hmm... I have two of those myself, too
You could sing a ballad to me if you want, it's not like we know each other yet

[judgementkazzy]

I'm cosplaying with some friends. I won VIP tickets so maybe I can get in early and see if they have any Torts & Tribulations swag.

Do you have that one too? I guess if we swap songs it wouldn't be as embarrassing as just calling someone up.

[ He's gonna go ahead and switch to voice. ]

What should I sing?

[katsudonfatale]

Ohh, the video game? Good luck!

[ Aaand voice, is go. ]

E-Eh? Anything you want! It's your bingo, after all!

[judgementkazzy]

You sure? I might end up singing that one Rick Astley song that's been stuck in my head since Ryoji and Majima came to my place and sang it.

[ You know the one.... ]

[katsudonfatale]

[ HE KNOWS THE ONE. ]

Does that really count as a ballad?

[judgementkazzy]

A power ballad...? Maybe?

[ Someone suggest another song, quick.... ]

[katsudonfatale]

Do you have a favorite? Why not try that?

[judgementkazzy]

My favorite? Um...

[ There's a long pause. Does he have a favorite song? ]

Well, i's not my favorite, but your post kind of reminded me of... the Safety Dance?

[ It's better than the Macarena, right? ]

[katsudonfatale]

[ Oh my god.

He can't even complain, he brought this upon himself. ]

... Go for it!

[judgementkazzy]

We can dance if we want to, we can leave our friends behind...

[ Please enjoy an impromptu karaoke version of everyone's favorite (only) song by Men Without Hats, The Safety Dance. I know we both know it, but I needed to link it for posterity.

And yes, Kiryu does look up a background track for this because it feels too weird to do a capella. ]

[katsudonfatale]

[ Yuuri very respectfully stays quiet on the other side of the line until the end. Kiryu can't see him, obviously, but for the record he's grinning like an idiot the whole time, stifling laughter—this is actually a lot more fun than anticipated.

And then, when the song ends, he claps (he switched to speaker just for this). ]

That was great!

[judgementkazzy]

[ When Kiryu commits, he commits. He's happy to hear Yuuri enjoyed it, too... look, he really likes karaoke. ]

Ah. Thanks.

[ A tiny ego boost is always welcome. ]

Now it's your turn, right?
