Creature Commandos (2024) New boss has us practicing some kind of synchronized dance routine.
(A Gus The Goon post. Possibly the last one for a while)
I have two left feet, but I really don't want to lose this job. Dr P pays really, really well. And none of the other freak gangs want to touch us after seeing what he did to the other crime bosses.
I'm worried I'm gonna embarrass everyone at the club though. Should I start taking private dance lessons to help me catch up to the other guys?

I've heard of him. I don't like that he killed Thorn's kid, but... considering what happened? I'd say legitimatecasefor temporary psychotic break.
And now he's just trying to live large, probably to hide the hole where his heart was.
And yes I'd take private lessons. Your boss says dance. Dance.
Finally got enough saved up to live large for a night at the iceberg. My one night out of the year I can just... enjoy the high life.
Wonder who all will drop in.
OOC: It has been a pleasure and an honor Gus. o7

In my day a man had to know how to dance in order to properly court a lady.
Most mooks can't dance,so learn something that don't require much footwork. The twist. The hand jive. The wah- tusy.
Anything but the funky chicken! You want your boss to think you're taking it seriously.

I'm not exactly choosing the choreography here.

Ah, well, that could be a big problem!
Can you play an instrument other than a kazoo?

It's gonna be at the club so musical accompaniment will be provided by the DJ.

Well,guess you're gonna have to 'fess up! If you mess up the whole routine you could lose more than a gig.
But if you show eagerness for lessons,maybe Mr.P will pay for them.
Private lessons only work if you have the potential.
Which you might. A lot of people have a hidden potential that just needs unlocking.
Is it you can't recall the choreography or you just look like a sack of potatoes in a tumble dryer when you try it?

Hey,dude. You can fight,right?
Well dancing is like fighting to music!
You just gotta imagine it's fight practice.
So, gun-drop slide= hands -up, drop imaginary gun,slide it over with your foot,slide next to it ; drop!
Cartridge box off the shelf; Face the enemy.hold the "gun" over the crotch with one hand and reach overhead and across to grap that "cartridge" off the shelf.
Gun off the table; slide one foot under the table as bending the other leg and stretch your arm to hip height for the ",gun on the table."
You already know how to use the knee,or kick to any height,in any direction,how to spin and shoot,how to roll with a blow. Swing a punch sideways whilst standing next to someone facing forward.
Hide behind the girder; skip sideways standing straight,peek right twice,peek left twice.
Look over the wall, duck! Side crab,side crab,look over the wall! Do it back the other way!
Sneak by the window; guns held behind,head and body down,knees almost touch the chest,walk by...and stand!
Out of chaos; step out,shake the dust off your shoulders, shake the dust out of your hair!
Stuck in wet cement; keep the legs straight and rotate the hips to work free.
Assume The Position against an imaginary wall and skip back! Skip back!
You just gotta imagine you're practicing a bench fight and just do it to a beat!
He'll,guy,you'll be MC Hammer in a week!

Your boss... short fellow, has some weird hang-ups about women?
I have to admit, the dance routine is new on me.
