You all better kiss.

Now you get it. Isn't this better than a planetarium?

[ a better partner would tell her to hang on, but he does not. what luka does do is grin back, move them to the center of the room and then he lifts her.

strike a pose poppy!

luka is a twink yes, but his physical training was all highly tailored to make sure he could do things like this. ]

[fireball]

[ She could still object — being able to just sit and not do anything in a planetarium while looking at pretty colours might win out over being swung around, actually — but objecting is difficult, on account of the whole being swung around thing without warning. ]

Wh— aaaahh!

[ She does not strike a pose. She's more just holding onto him very awkwardly. And she can't even say anything because she literally told him to keep going.

So she's just going to kind of stand there and ruin Luka's rizz, probably. ]

[beatmatching]

[ ...so he's actually really used to his partners being 🧍‍♂️, so he knows how to completely sell this; by being extra himself, which involves lower her to the ground with one hand while he strikes a sensual pose.

there is no losing in a performance if luka is your partner. ]

Close your mouth.

[fireball]

[ Ohhh here she goes back down to the ground again. Poppy just kind of goes limp, like she's accepted her fate. This is happening. (And Luka isn't going to drop her, because that would be way too big a blow to his pride.)

That command, though.

...

She sticks her tongue out at him instead, which I tragically do not have an icon for, ]

[beatmatching]

[ ah, she would, wouldn't she? in another universe—

luka would absolutely bite her tongue hard enough to be of real concern. but in this one— ]

Isn't there a saying about curiosity killing the cat? [ he transitions them into a regular step. ]

[fireball]

[ It's probably for the best that he's being normal in this universe.

Up she goes to a regular step; in her tongue goes, back in her mouth. She's being civilized again, making some kind of an attempt to match his steps. ]

What, are you a cat or something?

[ Is he the cat who's going to get killed, ]

[beatmatching]

No, I'm a pet-human.

[ animal on animal violence just happens sometimes, u know?

he doesn't drop a step in finishing out the song. ]

[fireball]

[ ... This guy.

She's too conflicted in her innate dislike for Luka and apparent ability to pity him both, so Poppy just snaps her mouth shut and follows his lead (not that she has much of a choice).

It's probably fine. ]
