thefarshore | Heaven's BBS [Video]

From: Yuuri Katsuki
Date: September 9th

[The camera is focused on a wide, empty room -- smooth wooden floors, mirrored walls with a built-in barre. A dance studio. As Yuuri steps away from where he's set it up, he puts his glasses down next to it and takes a deep breath, then sighs it back out.]

I'm not sure how many people will watch this, but... I've been working on it for a while, and I think I'd like someone to see it. And... the people I'd most like to show, I don't think they're here anymore, so...

[He touches something at his neckline, looks like he might say something else for a moment, then thinks better of it. Instead, he leans over to hit play on a recording, then gets in position to begin, closes his eyes, and dances.]

[The music is quiet and wistful, somehow sort of introspective, bordering at times on plaintive. An orchestral piece, slowly building and intricate, dramatic in an understated sort of way. It's just about the opposite of what he usually dances to when he's working with Sparkle Motion, but somehow, it fits Yuuri like a glove. There's a softness to the performance, a heart-rending sort of vulnerability, but he's as sure in his movements as he is graceful. He's obviously skilled -- he moves with the ease of breathing, even as the music builds in pace and volume and the steps to the dance get more obviously challenging.]

[It can't last forever, though, and as the last strains of the music fade from the air, he falls back into the same posture as before, timid and nervous as he faces the camera.]

...Thank you for watching.

[He bows before the recording ends.]

Threaded | Flat

You're very talented. The music seems to suit you.

Ohhhh.

[Just sitting here with his chin in his hands, beaming happily.]

That was so beautiful! I don't really know all that much about dance, but you're truly amazing. [He'll offer Yuuri some applause too ~~just to really embarrass him~~.]

Whoa, that was really good! Like, super amazing, you must really love dancing.

Viktor watched as if the performance were the most important thing he'd ever seen, and maybe it was. It certainly felt like it, even if he had to push down the niggling vague discomfort it brought him.

"That was beautiful."

If he sounded breathless, well...he was.

[The feed flicks on to the sight of Barry clapping, grin a mile wide.]

You've been gettin' real good lately.

[This is him. It has to be! Natsuru sees the video not long after it's posted to the network, but it takes her a while to work up the nerve to respond.]

Um, e-excuse me...

[A very nervous, or possibly just shy, blue-haired girl sits against the backdrop of her bedroom in the treehouse temple she lives in.]

Are you... involved with Sparkle Motion? I think Maria-sama told me about you.

[She hurriedly adds that last part, as if worried what he might think of her seeming so interested.]

Oh~ Mister, that's really pretty, you're really good at that! So graceful!
