Aurora looked at Signe and Chris and shrugged her shoulders. “I'm not sure about you guys, but I'm not going to say no.” Aurora took as much as she could manage of her drink and made her way to the dance floor. Drinking before dancing was a necessity. She started dancing very timidly at first, still worried about Herbert. She kept glancing at him, but tried to focus on having some sort of conversation with Alex. “Did you hear!! CANAGOLD is supposed to make an appearance tonight!”

Olem sighed, and finished his beer, before making his way towards the dance floor, slightly worried about how he'd appear to the rest of the people there. He got to the group and started to 'dance' (ooc: read shuffling with slight swaying to the music) "Canagold? Wonder if he's irish" Olem thoughtfully added to the conversation, whilst trying to make sure he didn't touch a single person on the floor.

Aurora was so shocked at Olem being on the dance floor that her next step was misplaced. The heel of her shoe slipped and Aurora fell backwards, grabbing hold of someone's arm on the way down. Unfortunately, the person she grabbed hold of was one of those obnoxious idiots who brought their drink to the dance. So Jack Daniels and coke swished out of the cup and soaked Aurora who was sat on the sticky floor with a sore tail-bone. The plastic cup dropped out of the guy's hand and landed upside down on Aurora's head like a little crown. She just kind of sat there for a moment; stunned.

Alex stood with the others, grinning at the sight of Lucio's moves. His own dancing was pretty refined for the time being - some arm movement and a bit of hip action. No point going for it until things had really picked up.
His grin faltered a little at the mention of Canagold. He wasn't going to get into his objections to Olympus now, but the news hardly thrilled him 'Oh! Really? Should be, uh... interesting!' he said, feigning a smile. 'Canagold... he's, like, the party animal one, right? I say let's show him how to really party!'
Suddenly, Aurora was gone and, instead of dancing with the rest of them, was sat on the floor, decorated in JD and a plastic cup hat. 'Whoa! You okay?' said Alex, offering her his hand. He turned to look at the guy she had bumped into. 'Hey! Watch it, mate!'

Olem moved a bit closer to the pair, hoping his size would deter a fight from breaking out "didn't realise you were that clumsy he muttered loudly, also offering her a hand. He looked down at Alex, a mildly amused by his statement. "I think only Lucio really cares enough to 'really party' here".

Aurora bowed her head in UTTER SHAME. The plastic cup fell into her lap. “A-Alex, it wasn't his fault. I grabbed hold of him.” She said, hiding her face under her hair, which is just as well because her cheeks and hair were the same colour. She took both of the hands offered out and used their strength to hoist herself up. “I'm pretty sure Lucio will outshine Canagold as far as being party animals go.” Aurora stated in a very flat tone. “Sorry, I'm going to go to the bathroom to try and do something about this.” She gestured to how soaked she was. Not once did she look up at anyone else on the dance floor. She slunked away utterly humiliated.

Olem was midly bemused, and moved away from the dance floor when Aurora left, and returned back to his seat. Realising he'd already finished his beer, he made his way back to the bar and waited to pick up another beer.

Alex cast one last look at the guy and, pushing away thoughts of having a sudden gravity well pin him to the floor, decided it was best not to start any trouble. 'Aurora, are you alright?' he asked as she got to her feet. Not the smoothest start to the night.
As Aurora left the dance floor, Alex shuffled a little closer to Herbert and Lucio. He'd check on her when she got back. 'How are you guys doing?' he asked the other two.

Signe held her hand out towards Chris'. "Signe," she said.

Herbert suddenly felt a spike into his brain; he looked around and saw Aurora on the floor. Yep, he knew that emotion. He tried to getb to nher but the floor was filling up so instead he let her walk off. She probably just wanted to be alone for a bit anyway. Alex and Olem didn't seem concerned. Speaking of Alex...
Herbert held out his hand and pulled Alex onto the floor. "Yeah, I'm good! Where have you been all week?" He reached past him to grab a weird shot from the table and downed it. Trying to get the taste out his mouth, he asked, shouting to be heard over the music: "Is Aurora okay?"

Chris just smiled back at Signe, it seemed as if she was coming out of her shell even if only a little.
There was suddenly some commotion on the dance floor as Aurora hit the deck. Alex and Olem seemed to be sorting it so there was no need for her to butt in. Hey Alex was back! Wonder where he's been?
Chris knew Aurora would be feeling majorly embarrassed by what had just happened.
"Hey I'm gonna go check on Aurora, you can come along if you want, if not I'd advise you join the boys over there. I wouldn't suggest staying on your own," she shouted over the music at Signe.
She went off to follow Aurora to the bathroom.
"Hey, you okay? What happened?" She asked her at a normal volume as it was quieter in there.

'Good good,' said Alex to Herebert, as Herb pulled him closer to the group. 'Oh, you know, I've been busy enjoying campus life!' Alex watched Herbert down a shot with all the smoothness of someone who had never had a shot in their lives. 'Aurora will be fine,' he said. 'It's a club, shit happens.'
The dance floor was filling up a bit. He kept glancing over the crowd, keeping his eyes open for any more familiar faces. And what was going on with this whole Canagold thing?

"How's the powers?" Herbert asked Alex, reaching for another shot and again making an interesting face as he forced it down. "Still working? I heard some people's just frazzled out."

Lucio was in his element. When Herbert had grabbed his tie and spun him, he moved along perfectly, knocking Herberts grip loose in one motion and spinning across the floor, gaining a few whoops of admiration. He stopped suddenly and pulled a pose in perfect time with the music, to yet more cheers, before launching himself back into the music. His enthusiasm and skill drew more people onto the dance-floor. Lucio was having the time of his life, moving across the floor, between different groups of people, gaining laughter and cheers wherever he went-
WHAT'S THIS?! A challenger?! The drunken lout, grin plastered on his face and reeking of alcohol, poked Lucio hard in the chest, shouting "DANCE OFF, BRO! You and me!" The Tellasite laughed and accepted his challenge, fully intending to crush him so absolutely he'd never, in a thousand years, be able to rise from the shame of his defeat. Lucio allowed his challenge to go first, and as he performed a few awkward dad-dance moves (the shopping trolley, the running man and the Saturday Night Fever were his best) the crowd formed a circle around the two. "Good." Lucio thought to himself, "Now we have an audience to bear witness to his upcoming, humiliating defeat!" The challenger finished an stunted Ripple and pointed to Lucio.
He held nothing back. To taunt his opponent, he mimicked his dad-dancing, but did so with such style and such grace that it went from a joke to an art form. He intertwined them with spins and some of the basic breakdancing he had learnt, maintaining his poise and eye contact with his opponent as much as possible. Finally, he spun into a series of large spins as the ultimate climax, leaping high into the air and landing in a perfect split. He glared at his opponent and roared "WHAT?!" as the crowd went crazy. He was pretty sure that he saw a few phones filming the event, and his now-humbled challenger pulled Lucio up and embraced him, shouting something like "Oh my days mate that was amazing mate mate you're the best mate I need a selfie mate..." He was very drunk, but a graceful loser, so Lucio acquiesced his request and, once the selfie was taken, the Tellasite looked around for his friends. He was going to the bar for a drink, as humiliating fools was thirsty work, and he wanted to know if his friends wanted anything.
