[She considers that for a moment.]

I was not allowed to dance. That's something 'people' did. Not us.

[You're not a very good weapon, if you're getting distracted by break dancing or something, Wade. And if you think for one second she's not thinking very carefully about giant bat and if she's had it or not, you'd be wrong.]

... Is it good? Giant bat?

[4thwaller]

[ Uh, Wade begs to differ, he's killed plenty of people WHILE dancing. ]

What? They didn't let you dance?! At all? No chicken dance? No line dancing? Nothing? You don't know how to walk the dinosaur or anything?

[ He pats himself down until he finds his phone, pulling it out and scrolling through it, hardly thinking about the question. ]

Giant bat is delicious if you marinade it right. A little stringy but it adds character.

[shoplifter]

[She shakes her head no to each thing listed, like a good child.]

... I've only listened to music recently.

What is 'walk the dinosaur'?

[4thwaller]

[ Suddenly, a song is playing. ]

Fuck no, you are not just going to go through life not walking the dinosaur once.

[ Why yes, he's going to knock all their hard work over again by getting up in a hurry, and gesturing at her to do the same. ]

Upupupup.

[shoplifter]

[Welp, there goes the blocks. She stares at them casually as they go.

But then the music's going, and she stands up, looking like she has no clue what to do with herself.

The baffled look she gives him says: WE'RE WALKING A DINOSAUR?????? I'VE HEARD????]

[4thwaller]

Okay, nononono. First of all. Don't just stand there. Listen to the music. You gotta wiggle with it.

[ As if to show her he bobs to the beat. ]

Is it the song, do you not like the song?

[shoplifter]

No, I like it.

I just...

Do not know how to do — any of it.

[She attempts to mirror him, bobbing her head a little, but it's stiff and uncertain.]
