You tried to dance battle a god, and lost. Now you’re starting over.

A grin comes to your lips as you step off the bus. It took your last penny, but you’ve finally made it to Flow City, New Jersey. You’re as far from your old problems as physically possible without leaving the country. Not a bad way to start 2100.

For a moment, your thoughts drift towards your old crew. It's been two years since the...unpleasantness. But none of that matters now. You’ve changed cities, and come up with a new name. Now it's time to teach it to the East Coast. You sure as hell can’t go back to California.

But you should probably get lunch first.

VOTING TIME:
1) Basic Persona.
A- Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: You’re going to be the best, and you know it. Anyone that looks at you cross-eyed better be ready for a challenge. Like that guy over there…
B - Laid Back Artist: People tend to take things too seriously. Life’s more about expressing yourself than a dick waving contest. They should try taking more naps.
C - Wannabe Celebrity: Wait, this guy doesn’t know you yet? He must not have seen that commercial you were in. You’d better give him your card.

You tend to laze out a bit, but you're a fundamentally decent person. For you, this is mostly about self-improvement. You avoid most fights, but will get out of bed to roast anyone that uses dance for evil. Particularly breaking.

NEXT VOTE: Style
A) Powerhead. You focus on performing big, physically demanding, flashy moves. You’re all about flips and shit.

B) Stylehead. Technical steps and stage presence. You love rocking the beat.

C) Freakshow. You can perform outlandish poses, and shift between them easily. You’ve got an elastic spine.

D) All-rounder. You do a little bit of everything.

For you, it’s all about the footwork. Your confidence on the spot isn't hurting you either. You keep telling yourself you’ll pick up a few stunts one day, but it keeps slipping your mind. Oh well. For now, you play with the music.

General sentiment: B) Charisma

You’ve always had a way with words. Your mom wanted you to be a lawyer, and you even did decently on the Neo-LSAT, but you never took the time to fill those law school applications. Too much hassle.

You grab your bag from the luggage compartment on the side of the bus. If you’d dawdled, someone would’ve tried to swipe it at any moment. Some things are different in 2100, but New Jersey isn’t. Though at least they’ve cut back on the number of smog factories.

You’re standing at a bus stop at noon. It’s a bit cold, and your stomach rumbles. What’s your first order of business?

A) Food. The bag of peanuts they gave you on the plane wasn’t exactly filling.
B) Hotel. You’re going to need to find a place to stay. Otherwise, where will you sleep all day.
C) Wander. It might be good to get a feel for the neighborhood.
D) Write in.

>>
>>23633390
didn't we spend our last penny getting here? No real option BUT C, unless food's free.
>>
>>23633390
What about trying to get a job? No money = no hotel = no food.
>>
>>23633473
We could wander around looking for a job, maybe even find some people break dancing around a corner. Might as well get a feel for the local style.

>>23633506

You remember that you are flat-ass broke. Dancing doesn’t exactly pay for itself, at least as long as nobody on this side of the country knows you. Your checking account barely has enough to buy a gumball, let alone put you up.

You walk around. The area seems to be mostly residential apartments, until you hit a mall a few blocks down. The area seems to draw a trendier crowd. You could get used to things here, as soon as you can pay for them.

How are you going to make some money?

A) Check the local classifieds on your phone
B) Walk into the mall. There has to be a help wanted sign somewhere.
C) Sweet talk your parents
D) Street performance
E) Write in
>>

B

>>23633565
Tough choice. Working isn't too much our style, but we're not flashy enough to draw a crowd compared to anyone else, and it especially hurts that we don't have anyone to back us up.

>>
>>23633565
C
A job? What is this, Communist Russia? Time to call Mom.
>>
>>23633390
D) Hit on the hot hostess you saw at the hotel restaurant. Might be time to break out the moves and show her your charisma.

And by charisma, I mean dick. This is option D, is it not?
>>
>>23633565
E) Break into places that don't look well guarded and steal shit. if approached, do an air flare and make it look like you know enough capoeria to kick their ass.
>>
>>23633790
F) Do all of this in the span of 1 hour.

Man, all this walking sure took it out of you. Looking for work is intense. You’d better call Mom. You tap your wristwatch and a glowing holographic display pops up. You find the familiar “call home” shortcut on your desktop.

“No.”

“No.”

You walk into the mall to grab some food. Your mom gave you a decent amount of money, so you should be able to afford something that hasn’t been already been flash frozen and reheated 14 times.

You eventually settle upon Hannity’s. It’s a burger chain that prides itself on using 50% real beef, 30% more than the leading fast food competition. “That’s the Hannity’s guarantee.” Somehow, you’re skeptical. But they have decent portions.

You take a booth by the window, which allows you to watch people bustle through the mall. School must be out, a few high school aged breakers are practicing in the corner, between clothing stores. They even have an old-school boombox. You watch for a few moments, feeling a bit of fuzzy nostalgia.

Eventually, a trio of oddly dressed adults approaches the teenagers. They seem to be having some kind of standoff. What do you do?

A) Finish eating. A hungry man can’t help anyone.
B) Check your phone. This looks like someone else’s problem.
C) Wait. See where this goes.
D) Leap into action.

>>

You sir know how to eat.

You finish working on your food. You ordered the “Galactus Burger”, and that shit doesn’t go down without a fight. After going through a few napkins to clean yourself off, you return your attention to the situation.

Three of the four kids have run off. The one that’s left is standing alone against a trio of men in white face paint and black clothes. One adult don’t seem to be saying anything, but the teenager’s boombox is broken in two sparking halves before him. The other two mime laughter beside him. This is officially worth your attention.

A) Negotiate. Maybe you can get them to talk this out.
B) Battle. It’s time to kick some mime ass.

It's not everyday that you get to battle a mime.
>>
You brush the crumbs off your shirt, toss a tip on the table, and dart into the hall of the mall. You weave through the crowd nimbly. Delroy back home would have just flipped over them, but that’s not your pace.

When you reach the corner, it’s already begun. The crowd has formed a semi-circle around the spectacle. The mimes stand on one end, the boy on the other. You join the kid. He’s going to need the help.

You look at the kid and shake your head. “You accepted a three on one battle?”

He looks up at you defiantly. “So what if I did? This is my corner. These lockers control half the practice spaces in town, we deserve something for ourselves.”

“Actually, I think it’s the mall’s corner,” you say with a grin. “But I’ll help you out anyway.”

Cracks appear in the ground, followed by an explosion of noise and sound. When the dust clears, a JudgeBot stands in the center of the semicircle, arms folded behind it’s back. The hole in the ground behind him looks expensive.

“Team One. Are you prepared?” the android says. The kid looks up at you with uncertainty. You nod.

“We’re ready.”

“Team Two. Are you prepared?”

The mimes make an incomprehensible gesture.

“Then let it begin.”

“This battle will have three rounds.” The JudgeBot’s baritone echoes throughout the mall. “Battle 57632: Pantomime Crew vs. Bboy Electron and Bboy…” the JudgeBot looks at you quizzically.

“Will of God,” you say calmly You furrow your brow. Three rounds gives the mimes the advantage. One of you will have to go twice.

"...Will of God." the Judgebot repeats. Then he starts blasting the music.

http://youtu.be/oYiDV743PzA

“Let them come out first.” you whisper.

“Aight” Electron says with false bravado. “You call yourself Will of God?”

“You call yourself Electron?” you say with a smile.

“Fair enough.”

You hold your ground. After a few tense moments, the first of the mimes comes out. He goes through a relatively standard locking routine, with a series of impressive wrist rolls and on-beat stomps. He ends his routine by miming an invisible couch and lying across it. That’s new.

“Can all East Coast lockers do that?” you ask.

“Just the mimes.”

“Alright. You’ve got this,” you say encouragingly. You have no idea if he does, but a little positivity never hurt anyone.

Electron walks out, looking nervous. His top rock is a disaster. It’s on rhythm (mostly), but his dancing is wooden and mechanical. He even does the stock pre power move step.

Then he starts doing tricks.

You wouldn’t call him a tornado. Tornado’s are one trick ponies that only spin in one direction. Electron shifts between spinning on his hands, head, and back without skipping a beat. He ends the set awkwardly, but doesn’t crash. Good, but you’re probably losing.

The mimes looks surprised. Evidently they expected easy prey. The tallest of them steps forward after an momentary pause. His style is smoother than the first mime’s, but he seems to lack the ability to make objects out of the air. He ends with a stock hat trick. It’s down to you.

What kind of set do you do?
A) Spirited Improv - People like to see you have fun. Mostly toprock.
B) Technical showcase. Show the variety of footwork steps you have at your disposal.
C) Stunt – Highlight breaking’s more dynamic nature with an easy trick or two.

Also, if Electron has a tenancy to wooden and mechanical dancing instead of trying to fix it maybe we should have him improve it. He could be a marionette.

You slide out as the second mime catches his hat. You decide to play to your strengths, and launch into a flurry of footwork steps. The crowd seems to appreciate it, as they start clapping on beat as you go through a set of kickout variations. You end with a set of sliding steps you picked up back when you were “studying” in San Franscisco. At the end your set you draw your legs together and smirk at the last mime. He looks back at you cooly. It looks like he wants to say some insult, but, well, he’s a mime. At the moment, you’re ahead.

He takes off his gloves and steps into the middle of the semicircle. As the song hits the bridge, he strums an imaginary guitar. Then he goes into a high-intensity locking routine, before returning to his mime tricks by skating back to his corner on an invisible board. Not bad. Not bad at all.

It’s time to smoke these clowns. Mimes. Whatever.

You open with some fast toprock, followed by a mocking imitation of the last mime’s guitar strumming. You pretend to put yourself in a box as you go down, then pretend to kick it open before going into a burst of high intensity footwork. You end with a complicated set of threads before standing back up and yawning. You return to your side with a shit eating grin.

The crowd grows silent. The music cuts out, and the JudgeBot is still and silent as he reviews the battle using Flava Calculus.

“Electron and Will of God.” he declares impassively. “This ruling is official and final. Pantomime crew is now formally forbidden from coming with ten miles of this practice space, under penalty of ten years imprisonment or public serving.”

“FUCK!” the lead mime shouts, before clapping his mouth with his hands.

You brofist Electron with a chuckle, than give the situation a second thought. The penalty’s a bit much.

You turn to the JudgeBot. “Look. Let them still come to the mall. This is just the kid’s corner.”

“As you will,” it replies dully. It hops back into the hole it created after it emerged. You wonder how much the government spends fixing these holes every year.

The first two mimes seem grateful. They make the gesture of handing you something, which leaves you more than a little confused. On a whim, you check your checking account with your holo-wristwatch. You’re fifty dollars richer. Coup.

The last mime glares resentfully. You put it in the “not my problem” bin in your brian.

You consider more food. Then you consider the kid for a few moments. Electron stares back up at you, clearly expecting you to say something.

“You did really well back there. Do you kids have a real crew? If you stick with me, I can help you out.”

“How so?”

“Well, I can help you develop your, err, interesting top rock.”

Electron mulls it over. You can tell from his expression that he’s well aware of his own weak points.

“Fine, but what should we call our crew?” he asks.

You search yourself for some decent wordplay. You almost settle on “The Apostles”, but something in you pulls another way.

“Atom and Even the Score”

Electron stares blankly at you. “…Fine. But from now on I name shit.”

You shrug. “Why not. Hey…do you happen to know anything about the bboy scene out west? Like have you heard anything about Bboy Abraxas?”

“What? Nah.”

“Alright. Don’t worry about it,” you say casually.

The pair of you head back into the burger shop. You spring for a deluxe pair of 80% beef burgers.

END SESH ONE

It's great, I love it, see you tomorrow.

I guess we used to be called Abraxas out west? Or maybe that was the god we tried to dance battle. Either way, bitchin'. A++.
