Milan doesn't actually know anything about how local dancing works, so he takes a minute to observe before he joins in. He's an adequate dancer, but not spectacular.

Permalink

After about five minutes, the tempo starts to pick up.

Permalink

Milan turns up his mental processing in response.

Permalink

About fifteen minutes later, a handful of people start dropping out.

Permalink

Milan isn't anywhere near his maximum. He keeps up easily. Moving around while running high is nothing new to him.

Permalink

The tempo does not stop accelerating. At this rate it's not going to be too much longer before he has to go faster than he ever did in skirmish.

Permalink

How convenient that using magic to go faster also raises his maximum! Although it doesn't do it nearly fast enough. Clearly he should be doing pointlessly wasteful magic at all times.

Permalink

The question is, exactly how much faster can he go with magic? Because he's outlasted most of the other players, but there are still several standing.

Permalink

He can cheat a lot just using accelerated perception. He's not going to fall over and he's not going to get exhausted.

But it does eventually reach the point where he can't keep up even with three-branch magic, and while he is still going, he's not going fast enough.

Permalink

"Out," Odette says, pointing to him, when he's far enough behind the music.

Permalink

He retires to one side of the dance floor, giggling.

Permalink

Illia wins, naturally. The second-place winner is congratulated more heartily than she is because she was generally considered to be going to win anyway.

Permalink

Milan observes this interaction with considerable amusement.

Permalink

It is a generally accepted fact amongst these people that Illia is Quite Simply The Best at this game.

Permalink

Well, that's a reasonable consensus to have, under the circumstances.

Permalink

Would he like to nerd froth with people some more while they're recovering?

Permalink

Yes. Yes he would.

Permalink

So much nerd frothing!

Permalink

Yaaaaaaay.

Permalink

Eventually people start peeling off to go to bed.

Permalink

Yes, that's reasonable. Milan can do the same. It's approximately the same time by his body-clock that it is here.

Permalink

"Good night, Milan."

Permalink

"Goodnight!"

And off he goes to bed.
