Quest 312
[Prerecorded Video Post]
[So, City, today on your Network please enjoy a very special prerecorded pre-dance broadcast, So You Think You Can Dance style, featuring one Princess Rosella of Daventry...]
So I've been paired up this round with, uh, with Doctor Emmett Brown. "Doc". We all just call him "Doc" by now.
When he picked out the card--when he opened it up and held it out and I saw my name inside...
...I just--the first thing that went through my head was...well...oh, goodness, what have I gotten myself into now.
I mean, he's-- [Laughter.] --he could be my grandfather, I wasn't sure if I should be worrying about staying in the competition or just...seeing him fall down and break a hip!
So then practices got underway and we met our choreographer, and the whole time I'm just standing there thinking to myself, is this going to be okay, are we going to make it through this round, should I start preparing myself in advance for a big letdown from the judges? And then we walk through the first, I don't know, sixteen or twenty-four counts, and they put the music on, and the next thing I know, there's Doc dancing circles around me!
And so now I'm thinking, is this going to be okay, am I going to be holding him back, and not the other way around!
[More laughter.]
No, but it's, um, it's a really great piece, the music is great, the steps are fun...Doc's a little more serious than I am, sometimes in between bits I get a bit...
...er, silly...
No, but it's just--it's been such a great experience dancing with him, he's such a great partner, and...you know, I have all these old memories of dancing with my father in our kingdom back home, and this whole time, it's been sort of like having that all over again, so.
I guess...we're just going to go out and do our best and I hope everyone has as much fun watching us as we've had dancing it.
[And after that brief transition and a word from our announcer, there is DANCING. OPPA WESTERN STYLE.]
[OOC: Please assume this is forward-dated to a reasonable hour on Sunday--I just wanted to make sure I got it up before a relatively busy day!]
