So the CDC are giving me my own personal dancer?

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

This is going to be a riot.

[hotman]

FROM: zuko@cdc.org

SHUT UP. DON'T YOU--

FROM: zuko@cdc.org

Look, will you help me or not?

[equivalences]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Sure. Especially since it's not like I even have to do anything.

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Are you good at dancing?

[hotman]

FROM: zuko@cdc.org

No. Dancing is stupid.

[equivalences]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Yeah, I don't like it either.

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

How is this even going to work? You follow me around all day dancing to whatever I say?

[hotman]

FROM: zuko@cdc.org

I don't know. I was hoping you would.

[equivalences]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

What did the letter say?

[hotman]

FROM: zuko@cdc.org

That I have two days to get it done. It didn't have any details.

[equivalences]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

That's so typical of the CDC. They're cagey assholes like that.

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Looks like we have no idea when you can stop dancing ...

[hotman]

FROM: zuko@cdc.org

I am not dancing for 144 hours.

[equivalences]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

I don't want you dancing behind me for 144 hours either.

[hotman]

FROM: zuko@cdc.org

So should I just do it until I get tired, or what?!

[equivalences]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

I guess.

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Oh. You know we might get rewarded for this?

[hotman]

FROM: zuko@cdc.org

What, more milkshakes?

[equivalences]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

I hated the milkshakes.

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

No, it looks like they'll be giving credits to the team that does their job best.

[ wait zuko is a n00b -- ] FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

You know what credits are, right?

[hotman]

FROM: zuko@cdc.org

Is it like money?

[equivalences]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Yeah. You're gonna need them if you want to buy anything when the Shopping Channel opens.

[hotman]

FROM: zuko@cdc.org

Okay. I'm ready whenever you are, I guess.

FROM: zuko@cdc.org

BUT YOU BETTER NOT LAUGH. OR TELL ANYONE.

[equivalences]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

I can't promise any of that.

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

I'm in Rover 001 if you want to meet up.

[hotman]

FROM: zuko@cdc.org

I'm going to kill you after this is all done.

FROM: zuko@cdc.org

Be there in a few minutes.

action!

[equivalences]

[ ed doesn't reply but yeah he's in rover 001 come holla at him boy ]

[hotman]

[ guess who comes a'knockin at rover 001's door? and looking quite unhappy about being there. ]

[equivalences]

[ Guess who breaks out into a snicker the moment he sees Zuko's petulant face?? ]

So -- Dancing? [ Ed is convinced the CDC does half of this shit for giggles. But he's not the butt of the joke this time, so he's allowed to laugh. ]

[hotman]

[ Here. Is the most unamused face in the history of unamused faces.

So done with your shit already, buddy. ]

Let's just get this over with.

[equivalences]

[ Ed moves back into the rover, signalling at Zuko to follow suit. He'll lead the other boy to his own space in it, a messy thing with some clothes, paper and writing material lying on his bed. He has pie, too. But he's not sharing his pie. ]

How, exactly, are you going to do this? Have you ever danced before?
