[ She's a demon in the making, in a way. She's had that hannya on her back -- a Japanese demon witch -- since Majima swore up at 19. Circumstances have been forcing him to blossom into it. All the rage and sorrow and power. And of course there's the ever deeper twining with the snake yokai possessing him; you'd have to kill one of them to pull them apart now. The demon has its fair say in Majima's life and it approves deeply of Goromi's confidence and selfishness. ]

Ya already lost your bets to me once today.

[ She puts her cigarette to her lips with a laugh. ]

But all right. If ya think ya can keep up, ya can be my date tonight.

[ She slings back the whiskey in her glass and puts down some cash for it before she's slid onto her feet to stand next to Dante, one hip cocked lazily as she crosses her arms, drags on her cigarette. ]

Hope ya can dance.

[demonrebel]

[Majima: 1, Dante: 0, huh? The scoreboard isn't in Dante's favor this week but they're about to be even now that Goromi invited him to dance.

He can't help but smirk as he slid the bartender the cash for his tab. One would think three glasses of whisky would be enough to slow him down but Dante has a pretty high alcohol tolerance. Besides the night is still young and he now has a sexy lady to entertain.]

You're in for a surprise, babe.

[He bows before Goromi with such great flourish. Despite popular belief, he's the perfect gentleman. This grizzled devil slayer isn't all piss and vinegar all the time.]

Especially since I love dancing.

[He says before reaching for her hand. If they're going to dance, they better hit the floor now while it's empty.]

[no_kyouken]

[ She loves to dance too, she even won a local dancing competition in Sotenbori. Although she is from the 80s, maybe her moves are a little dated? It won't matter to her or bother her very much; music is music, dancing is dancing.

She takes his hand and gives it an encouraging squeeze, smiling as she follows him. There are people watching them, it's hard to miss her glittering dress when she gets under the dance floor's lights. The big loud demon hunter in the red jacket is pretty hard to miss too.

She gets lucky and the first track they step out to is pretty retro anyway. That makes her smile flick wider. ]

How's your disco, Dante?

[demonrebel]

Flawless. [He brags as he pulls her towards the dance floor.] But you be the judge.

[Truth be told, Dante is ironically more into pop music than anything else but he can appreciate a blast from the past. He figured that Goromi would be more of a disco gal. Her overall style easily gives that away. While he listened to a few disco tracks in the past at the office, this is his first exposure to Japanese disco. It sounds all the same to him. The tempo of this cute little song is easygoing and light, very unlike some of the pop-rock he typically listens to.]

Want me to lead? I don't mind.

[He starts off with a basic step-tap to catch the beat under his feet before going into the classic grapevine just when the beat really picks up. Nothing too fancy just yet. Dante doesn't want to scare off his date.]

[no_kyouken]

I am gonna judge.

[ She says with laughter. She hadn't a lot of money or free time in Sotenbori, nor all that much will to live, but going to Maharaja had always been fun. Learning to dance from Isobe had been good for Majima; competing with her and winning and feeling worthwhile at something. That's all a lot more than she's going to bother telling Dante though. She'll just show him what she learned from a real life disco queen.

She falls into the step with him, swaying deftly on her heels. Her dress and her tail sway with the motion, glittering under the lights, and her gold jewelry sparkles on her wrists as she gestures loosely with her hands. Isobe always had a big pink fan with her, which Goromi doesn't have on hand, but she'll make the best of it anyway. She spins out to the side, still keeping step.

She picks up on the refrain of the song and mouths it to herself lazily in Japanese. She actually does like ridiculous pop songs more than anyone would probably expect of Majima. They were what was popular in town at the time, what can he say. This one is particularly cute, he'll have to look it up later for karaoke... ]

Ya ain't terrible, do ya sing too?

[ What date with a Japanese girl is complete without karaoke? ]

[demonrebel]

Like an angel, babe!

[While Dante's singing voice isn't half-bad, he's no Frank Sinatra. Then again, he doesn't have to be whenever he's doing his best rock covers of his favorite jams. He would always drag the ladies with him to karaoke along with his spunky little nephew. Granted, Dante would do most of the singing but managed to get Lady to a duet with him once.]

Are you thinking of having us do a duet?

[He asks after a cheesy little MJ inspired spin there. He studied the King of Pop's every move since childhood. This man is no stranger to the legendary Moonwalk and it shows. He can easily keep up with the lovely Goromi with moves like these. She might be the Dancing Queen in Japan but Dante's definitely the King in Redgrave.]

If so, I might have to get a little more liquored up.

super bass definitely plays in hell

[no_kyouken]

[ The song overhead has changed a few times, the current track is energetic, and Goromi beams happily. There isn't a hint of Majima's usual depressive slouch and her jewelry jingles musically as she moves. ]

What's th'point of karaoke if ya ain't drinkin'? We'll do it Tokyo-style.

[ Which means getting fucking wasted. She grabs hold of the front of Dante's jacket with a fangy grin. That snake possessing her can drink a whole awful lot. ]

Ya sure ya can keep up, big boy?
