retrospec | all strung up (posted in the early evening)

( look, strut your stuff like a peacock, get called a peacock??? ironically he's not calling you a nut even now that he knows your name, though it's only a matter of time, likely tied in with asking if you're... nuts... )

Yuri Plisetsky Huh
Yuri Plisetsky Was that your first time there?

[The day will come and Kashuu will age 100 years.]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu nope! i was born there (￣◇￣)b
Kiyomitsu Kashuu moved here when i was pretty young, though

Yuri Plisetsky Huh, so you're foreign born too
Yuri Plisetsky How old were you when you got here?
Yuri Plisetsky Have you just lived in this city?

( go figure he's actually interested in all the salient details that aren't related to basically anything he'd been talking about before )

[Smalltalk conversations are actually a great way to distract him from remembering that he still needs to Destroy Yuri for posting this picture. He is genuinely curious, too.]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu yep! seems like a lot of us are, huh?
Kiyomitsu Kashuu i was about 6 or 7 when i first moved here, i think
Kiyomitsu Kashuu recolle's the only city i've lived in but i've visited new york before too
Kiyomitsu Kashuu what about you?

( yuri shouldn't be picking fights with his elders anyway, this is for the best. and. both of them being genuinely interested. go figure. )

Yuri Plisetsky I dunno I haven't kept count of who is or isn't
Yuri Plisetsky I was 5 or 6 when we moved to the States from Russia
Yuri Plisetsky I only moved out here last year

[Miracle of miracles. Yuri will escape... for now. In the face of some weird bonding over being non-native born, apparently.]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu wow really? i mean i don't either, it's just easy to notice
Kiyomitsu Kashuu what'd you come here for?
Kiyomitsu Kashuu this city i mean, since you moved kind of recently and all

( bonding over foreign lives??? )

Yuri Plisetsky Dance

( much explanation very thorough )

[WHAT A PUNK. But very to-the-point, he can appreciate it.]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu really?
Kiyomitsu Kashuu what kind?

Yuri Plisetsky I started out in ballet
Yuri Plisetsky But I've expanded since, even if ballet is still my primary school at the moment

Kiyomitsu Kashuu ballet huh?
Kiyomitsu Kashuu you must have super strong legs

[He's almost envious?? If his legs were stronger, he could probably wear heels for even more than eight hours. When will bionic legs be a thing, that's what he wants to know.]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu that's pretty cool, though! i think you're the first dancer i've met

( look he already can't believe Anya and her heels, don't do this, Kashuu, don't )

Yuri Plisetsky Yes, along with everything else?
Yuri Plisetsky Kind of necessary
Yuri Plisetsky Anyway that makes no sense to me when Anya's up there telling me to compliment you like you know each other
Yuri Plisetsky She's been dancing for years
Yuri Plisetsky Has she even bothered mentioning it?

( tbh sometimes he thinks no. no, Anya wouldn't. because she's just that unambitious with her dancing. SHE'S GOOD WHEN SHE BOTHERS TRYING this drives him up a wall??? )

[TOO LATE he's already aiming for the heel gold.]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu yeah i've known her for a while!
Kiyomitsu Kashuu and i know she dances, but i mean career dancers!
Kiyomitsu Kashuu that's what you are, right?
Kiyomitsu Kashuu if you came all the way here for it and everything (・о・)

( SHE COULD BE TOO, part of him yells, but you know what they say about deaf ears. (then again he believes this of Dave too, he has Beliefs.) also wow. you will die on that gold heel. but that's okay, because also, you will be happy. )

Yuri Plisetsky Yeah, I am
Yuri Plisetsky Cities have more going on when it comes to the job front
Yuri Plisetsky The move just made sense

[Does Yuri just want to turn the entire city into one giant dance troupe, is that what's going on here. He'll support them all from shoe heaven.]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu yeah, i get that
Kiyomitsu Kashuu i moved back basically for the same reasons
Kiyomitsu Kashuu our dance studio has some real talent anyway

( Not really, that'd be way too much competition and he might find the challenge nice until it... annoyed him. He just supports his friends!!! All two of them!!! )

Yuri Plisetsky When it's not sitting retired or on hiatus yeah
Yuri Plisetsky It's a fairly young studio really

[Dang, he's really getting wild with the friendships there. Before he knows it, he might actually have three whole friends, or maybe even four?!]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu oh, really?
Kiyomitsu Kashuu kind of surprising, but i don't know much about it since i don't dance or anything

( watch yourself, that's crazy talk! )

Yuri Plisetsky Really
Yuri Plisetsky You'd want to follow the choreography scene for the one, no idea how you'd know about the other

( since Yuuri is presently mostly that teacher who isn't sure if he wants to settle into teaching permanently but Yuri himself has complicated feelings on pretty much everything involving dance. why wouldn't you chase after what you're good at, when you have the training, skill, and capacity? when you love it? ~~what is anxiety for $400 Mr Trebek~~ )

Yuri Plisetsky Do you not dance at all?

Edited 2017-02-14 05:11 (UTC)

[He'll be joining the crazy club soon enough anyway, IT'S FINE.]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu i'll check it out later i guess
Kiyomitsu Kashuu but not really!
Kiyomitsu Kashuu i mean i'll dance at clubs and stuff but it's not really the same thing

Yuri Plisetsky Sounds like there's going to be a Saturday Zumba class staring up soon
Yuri Plisetsky You could check it out if you're interested

( is he recruiting for Zumba

yes

because Yuuri deserves to suffer having a class with actual attendance )

[Is this real life.

WELL. Plus side, Kiyomitsu is pretty easy to talk into things. Congrats on the +1 to the zumba mayhem.]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu zumba huh?
Kiyomitsu Kashuu sure, i'll check it out! (￣▽￣)ゞ
Kiyomitsu Kashuu are you going to be there?

Yuri Plisetsky Looks like I will be, yes

( he has a point to prove and is a competitive little shit with the INSTRUCTOR so go figure

also how did Yuri end up convincing Kiyomitsu to come to zumba on the post that's a shitpost about Kiyomitsu )

[Thank Kiyomitsu's short attention span and general willingness to forget and move on. ...General. He'll still remember this.]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu nice nice
Kiyomitsu Kashuu we can be workout partners!
Kiyomitsu Kashuu i'll look forward to it

Yuri Plisetsky great fine
Yuri Plisetsky I'll send you dates when we have them

Kiyomitsu Kashuu okay! make sure you don't forget! (*・∀-)☆

[AND THAT'S Kiyomitsu signing off, apparently... Not another peep about the uglyass photo he'd taken and slapped up on the network.

It'll probably come back to get Yuri when he least expects it because Kiyomitsu may forget sometimes but he will nEVER FULLY FORGET.]

( he has a pic of you in your summer hat now too bless your loving friends )

Yuri Plisetsky shared a photo. 2/3 near Recollé
"Local area peacock spotted downtown all tangled up in a Founder's Day Festivitrap, a casualty of the ongoing Great Red String fiasco." Between this and the giant chicken-horses, the birdwatching's been great today
