"Nope," she said, giving him a grin and a thumbs up. "Just borrowed the stretches. I can do well enough on pure grace to not make a fool of myself, but that's it. The only thing creative I can do well is make games. I can totally show you the stretches, though."

Yul laughed. "Okay. Well, tell you what. You show me some stretches, and I'll show you some dance moves sometime."

He sat down on the ground, not far from her. "You make games? What kind of games?"

"Sure!" She nodded enthusiastically, starting to show him what she was doing, taking him through her own stretch routine. "Um... I have a bullet curtain game that's basically done, it just needs finishing touches like music. I want to work on a mystery game next, I think. Though I'll have to be careful not to look like I'm making any political statements... at least none my Clan would disapprove of... Not that any of my games are likely to be released."

Yul was pretty flexible, grunting as he followed her instructions, bending this way and that.

"So..." He grunted again as they shifted, "do you do all the parts? Like, the art and the music? Or... how does it work?" His habitual smile turned sheepish. "I don't really know that much about how games are made."

"I do the art and all the programming. I haven't had time to learn how to make music yet with my duties - I'd need someone else for that," she sighed as she did a back bend. "I tend to use text dialogue, since I'd be the only one available to do voices, too. The mystery one might need voices, though..."

Yul's eyebrows went up, taking a moment to appreciate Shizuku's demonstration of the pose before trying it himself. He did pretty well, although his balance was a little shaky, his midsection trembling a little.

"Mystery... like a murder mystery?" Yul asked, his voice a little strained. "That sounds cool. I've read a few, but not too many. It's always the butler, right? Or the majordomo, if it's set in ancient times."

"Breathe slow and deep, Shinjo-san. This one was a challenge for me, too, for a while," she said.

"Nah, the butler barely ever does it. I don't think there'll be a butler in this one, anyway."

Yul adjusted his breathing, slow and deep, as Shizuku suggested. It worked, steadying him.

Slowly, he righted himself. "Not the butler, huh?" He grinned. "I kinda want to ask, but I don't want the ending ruined, in case I ever play it. Where's it set, though?"

"I haven't decided much about it yet. I was toying with the idea of one character from each Clan being involved, with a series of incidents over the course of the game," she explained.

"They're all guilty." Yul said. "Calling it now. If I'm right, can I have my name in the credits, along with my auto-joggler?"

He flashed a playful grin at her.

"Oh maaaaaan, you already gueeeesed?" She laughed, letting go of her leg from the stretch to avoid falling. "The game will be made courtesy of Shinjo Yul's Auto-Joggler."

She got a good laugh out of Yul with that one, his eyes lighting up. "Well, I can't wait to see it."

He returned to a standard kneeling position, looking at her. "So... did you wanna learn some dance moves sometime? I really could show you." Yul shrugged. "I mean, it's not like I know all that many, but I've got a few."

"Absolutely!" She said, pumping her fist. "If I have the time to learn it, I definitely won't reject new knowledge."

Yul grinned again. "I really like that enthusiasm, Daidoji-san. You're alright." He nodded; clearly, the approval was a significant one.

Carefully, he rose to his feet. "Well, I want to get going." He jerked his head towards the exit. "You want to come along, or you've still got to get ready?"

"Thanks!" She's grins and gives him a thumbs up. "You are, too."

"It is time," she deepened her voice and intoned it like a villain in a serial play before returning to normal with a laugh. "Let's go."
