Having heard the word 'dance' drifting down on the wind, Barb naturally went straight for it. It wasn't like she'd had anything better to do--she'd arrived not two days before, and her accomplishments since had amounted mostly to rolling around in some dubiously clean water and laying claim to a mostly empty dumpster. She was used to life in the open, used to struggling to survive, used to subsistence.
Frankly, safety was boring, and Barb wanted nothing more than to let off a little steam. With a wild smile on her face, she slid to a stop near where the others had gathered.
Her face immediately fell. This wasn't a dance the way she remembered them, this was a bunch of people standing around with their bare faces hanging out, not knowing what to do with themselves at all. Barb's intact ear twitched.
Come on, folks, don't y'all know how to have fun? It's a dance, not a stand around and stare at each other! To demonstrate, she stretched her legs and did a perfect backflip. A real ten. Now, she said, the wild smile coming back to her face, "who wants to come dance with all this?"
