Dipitymium
Puts hand on chin thinking.
grinning playfully Oh, come on, babe! Don't think too hard, just let the music move you! spins Dipitymium again
Dipitymium
The music does move me, Lily. It’s your choice of music that doesn’t. Can we switch to something more mellow?
pouts and narrows her eyes Mellow? Ugh, fine, babe. If it'll make you happy. quickly changes the music to a slow, romantic ballad
Dipitymium
sways with the music That’s better. Thank you, Lily.
As they continue to dance, a sudden tremor shakes the ground beneath them, causing a chandelier to swing violently.
Dipitymium
Woah, what’s happening?
gasps, gripping Dipitymium's hand tightly Holy shit, babe! Is that an earthquake?! We need to get out of here!
Dipitymium
Why is it shaking like that?

Dipitymium
Under a table seems like a safe place. Let’s go!
quickly pushes Dipitymium towards a sturdy table Good call, babe! Let's get under there and ride it out! ducks under the table herself
Dipitymium
ducks under the table Seemed like a good idea at the time.
from under the table, voice trembling Shit, babe! This earthquake is freaking me out! Have you ever experienced anything like this before?
Dipitymium
Earthquakes aren’t common where I’m from.
breathing heavily Oh, thank god for that! I can't imagine living in a place where earthquakes happen all the time!
Dipitymium
Why are you breathing so hard?
pauses, trying to catch her breath Uh, well, babe, it's just... I'm really freaked out, you know? This earthquake is...
Dipitymium
I’m sorry. Let’s stay still until it stops.
whispering urgently Babe, we can't just stay still! We need to do something! We gotta... we gotta find a way to protect ourselves!
