[It had been quite some time Hu Tao had the opportunity to venture out into the city. Between what happened with her mission and everything going on, when did she have the time to spend the day simply enjoying herself? Which was why today, she figured to try something new. Ever since she heard about these so called 'electronics', she wanted to see what other else she could find.

Should Norimune look into a store, he would find a familiar looking person who just so happened to be listening to some music. Narrowing her eyes, it seemed she was really focused on figuring out what it was.]

What strange music is this...? [Should anyone listen carefully, she was playing the music rather loudly.]

[kikuichi]

[Ever since the Enma's address, Norimune have been finding himself very busy. If it's not work in the office, it's avoiding the press who wants information and a statement. That's why he's relishing his free time, being able to browse and shop around freely (if nothing major happens). Maybe he should try out those "video games"?

By chance, he glance into a store and spot a familiar looking person. He pause, before he curiously enters the store. Oh!]

Miss Hu Tao?

[As he draw closer, it's easier for him to hear the music she's listening to.]

Ooh, what's this?

[localweirdo]

[At first, Hu Tao didn't seem to notice him. She was too grossed in this strange music as she wondered what strange instruments could produce those sounds. Perhaps it would be something she needed to investigate at another time?

However, as he walked closer, that's when his presence was known.]

Norimune? Just in time, I'm in need of your help! Have you ever heard of music like this before?

[She said before handing the headphones to him. Because clearly a 1000+ year old sword knows anything about dubstep music.]

[kikuichi]

[With a blink, he accepts the headphones and put them on. Once he do, he find himself listening to the most interesting style of music.]

Oh, I don't think I ever heard this style before.

[Not even the government back home play these sort of music. Most likely calming, non-distracting music to work to.]

It's different but rather interesting and nice!

[localweirdo]

Especially if this is what is supposed to be in fashion in this world!

[All the while swaying her head back and forth trying to get herself in rhythm with the distance muffed music.]

Can't say that I heard anything quite like this in my world. It's mostly flutes, the guzheng, lute, and various other instruments!

[She said before attempting to play said guzheng in tune with the beat drop.]

[kikuichi]

I did hear a lot of different kind of music in my time. But I tend to hear more traditional styles with lutes and strings. Oh, there's plenty of drums for the festivals!

[From which era he's talking about? Yes. While nodding along to the music, he starts to check out the other selections as well and reading their names.]

"Dubstep"? Is that the name of the style?

[localweirdo]

From what I heard, it's fairly popular with certain people. Although, I can see why. It certainly does evoke the feeling of wanting to dance!

[With that, she started to dance to the rhythm of this strange music. Why no, she doesn't care that people are looking at her as she swayed back and forth before hopping a little to the side.]

Or at least, it does to me. Don't you feel the same?

[kikuichi]

Hm... I do feel like I want dance to this. I just don't know the moves!

[What are the proper moves for this? So he'll be (somewhat) copying Hu Tao's, swaying back and forth in his own way. So now bystanders get to see two people grooving to this music.]

Do you want to dance together?

[localweirdo]

Of course, I doubt the people in the store would mind. Besides if they do have any issues, I'm sure I can always convince them that dancing is a great way to get customers!

[That said, did she know how to dance? She didn't but that was fine, she'll just keep coming up with random movements to match the rhythm to the music!]

Can't you feel it? The way the music just makes you let all your energy out as it's just waiting to explode out of your body?

[kikuichi]

[After a point, Norimune start to make his own moves. His fan is in his hand, open wide and moving gracefully to the beat. Maybe this is the start of something new? A blend of traditional and modern, seemingly at odds yet blend well together?

... Maybe. The early days of a new... creation? Art? Tend to be rocky.]

Uhahaha, yes. Almost like you wish to let out all of your worries and just dance away?

[There's some curious onlookers watching them. With how much the two of them are enjoying themselves, some of the bystanders might walk inside to browse the wares.]

[localweirdo]

Exactly and with how much everything has been going on? It's only natural we find ways to relax.

[Although, as she raised an eyebrow at said fan, she stopped momentarily before an idea popped up. He wasn't sure if he would be willing to go with this but...]

Or better yet, how about we try to come up with our own dance style? If you have a fan, we might as well try to copy what those professional dancers do, right?
