Character: Aziraphale Ezra Fell
Mun: Katie/rosenritter
Plot specific: N~


Recently, I popped in* for a quick visit to my shop in Soho to see how things were going. The young man I hired to look after the place while I attend to my duties here hadn't once turned the sign from "CLOSED" to "OPEN", exactly as I requested. It's so very refreshing when youths of today prove themselves capable of following such simple directions.

While I was in the area, I overheard a small group of young Muggles discussing something they called "the dubstep". I presume it's a dance of some sort, but if anyone knows any further details, I would be most obliged to hear about it. If it's at all like the gavotte, I would be quite interested in learning it.

Dubstep is a kind of music, sir.

[angelfruitcake]

Is it? Is there any associated dance, at least?

[strongestoftheturks]

Sort off. A little. Maybe.

It's hard to explain.

[angelfruitcake]

Ah, is it similar to disco? I remember a few classes on that in my Muggle Studies courses when I was a lad. I recall that it, too, was primarily a type of music with particular dance moves as an afterthought.

[strongestoftheturks]

Maybe?

It's just moving to the beat, sir. There's no set pattern of moves.

[angelfruitcake]

Oh. [Apparently it's possible to express immense disdain in two little letters.]

I will never understand why chaos and disarray appeal so much to the young people today. Whatever is wrong with appreciating finely configured structure and well-honed talent?

[strongestoftheturks]

It's easier, I think.

[angelfruitcake]

Hm, what is easy rarely intersects with what is proper. What a pity.

[strongestoftheturks]

Is being proper, practical sir?

[angelfruitcake]

Perhaps not always. However, at the end of the day, there is always the satisfaction of having a job well and properly done.

[strongestoftheturks]

Dancing isn't a job though.

[angelfruitcake]

I imagine there are many performers in the West End who would strongly disagree.

[strongestoftheturks]

Sorry sir. That's not what I meant.

Dancing isn't a job to everyone.
