WHO: Luisa and the network
WHERE: The network
WHEN: 02/25
WHAT: An accidental video post
WARNINGS: Probably nothing but will update if that changes

[ The first thing that registers on the feed is music; though the screen is dark, the beginning few notes of a song can be heard before it is quickly changed to a different one. This too plays for a brief moment before the song changes once again. After another moment and a few more changes in songs, the camera moves to show Luisa looking into the screen with a deep expression of concentration. Sweat beads along her brow, her cheeks a bit flushed and her hair a little mussed, but nothing really indicates any kind of issue.

She fiddles with the device a bit longer, songs being played and switched in rapid succession, until a particularly upbeat one fills the air, and she considers it for far longer than she had any of the previous ones, before seeming to decide its to her taste. With a satisfied nod, she places the device down, propped up against something to show as Luisa backs away.

By this point anyone watching might realize that Luisa is unaware that her actions are being recorded, as she faces away from the camera while retreating further into the surrounding space. The screen shows a large room made of dark gray stone, almost like a cave, and filled with a variety of work-out equipment; ropes for climbing that dangled from the ceiling, low bars that stretched across the room, and a plethora of weights, both on pulleys and free weights.

She selects two large dumbbells off the floor, heaving out a heavy breath as she stands to her full height and holds the weights at her sides. Even from the distance of the camera, it's easy to see how tense her shoulder muscles are as she flexes one arm, lifting one heavy weight, then the other. It takes her a bit, but eventually she falls into an easy "one, two" rhythm, breathing in and out with each arm curl while music plays in the background.

As the song comes to its end and another one begins, something changes; the rise and lowering of each weight is no longer steady as her movements begin to slow. She doesn't seem to be tired exactly, just...distracted. Her breathing is no longer heavy under the strain of the weights, but it comes out a bit fainter, lighter, and with it a soft sound...she's humming. And as her head bobs a bit and her foot taps, she soon finds a different sort of rhythm.

She places the dumbbells back onto the floor, still humming along to the music as her hips begin to sway. Her steps are experimental at first, trying to find the right movements to match with the song. But like with the weights, it doesn't take long for her body to coordinate, only this time it's under the beat of the music instead of the struggle of the weights. Her movements are strong and sharp, and honestly it's quite a show.

Just as Luisa really loses herself to the music, though, a different face fills the screen. Those that have seen him before would recognize André, who fogs the screen a bit as he sniffs at it. Then he's opening his mouth, and - ]

André, no! Spit that out!

[ Thankfully the feed ends there. ]

Video, un: Mariposa εїз

[nonmagical]

Whoo! Go, sis!

[Anddd Mirabel saw the whole thing. She has a big, dumb grin on her face while cheering her on. Is it embarrassing? Probably. But hey what are little sisters for?]

You’re amazing!

[neverbreaks]

[ She just manages to wrestle the phone from André's mouth when Mirabel's voice booms over the device's speakers, the volume having been turned up all the way while she listens to music. Startled, Luisa nearly drops the phone, fumbling with it a little before she catches it.

Then she has to wipe the phone up, so Mirable will just hear a lot of rustling as the screen goes black (or purple) for a moment, until everything is righted again and she turns down the volume while peering into the screen. ]

What was that, Mirabel?

[ She's a little surprised. Had Mirabel been accidentally called while André was chewing on her phone? ]

[nonmagical]

Your dancing! It was amazing!

[She knows the video wasn't intention, but she saw it anyway. It's not the first time she's seen her sister dance, but...]

You're so good at it!

[neverbreaks]

..........

[ wut ]

¡Ay Dios mío...! You mean you saw that?

[nonmagical]

Well, I did… and maybe everyone else also did… but you don’t need to be embarrassed about it! You’re really good!

[wedonttalkabout]

Your video was turned on.

[HE'S BEING SUPER HELPFUL, you can thank him later.]

But hey, that was really good! You've got a real talent there, Kiddo.

[neverbreaks]

[ SO HELPFUL, great uncle-ing ]

What?

[ She scrambles to get the phone straight, her face now flushed for a different reason. ]

Oh no...you mean people saw all that?

[wedonttalkabout]

[A + uncle work right here!]

They did, but don't worry about it. You did great, really! I didn't know you liked to dance.

[neverbreaks]

[ Sorry Tio, she'll get back to you in a second. Right now she's just gonna...bury her face in her hands for a moment, though it does nothing to hide how red her ears become.

And when she does finally manage to say something, it's little more than a garbled mess because she can't quite bring herself to pull her hands away from her face. ]

Ohh, keep going! Keep going! Encore!

[neverbreaks]

[ By this time Luisa is all too aware of what happened, and she's too embarrassed to show her face. So this will have to do. ]

Oh no no no. No one was supposed to see that!

Text

[bendyandthepinkmachine]

[Luisa switches to text, so Spinel does as well.]

Why not? You looked like you were having fun!

[neverbreaks]

I mean, I was, yeah. [ She couldn't really deny that. But not the point! ] I just didn't mean to be on the network. I didn't know people were watching.

[camaleonico]

Sweet moves~

[ He's not being sarcastic, cuz wow, get it, Luisa, but also... it'd be remiss of Camilo not to tease her. ]

Text

[neverbreaks]

[ Oh god, please Casita just swallow her up right now. ]

I AM NEVER LEAVING MY ROOM AGAIN

[ So maybe that's a biiiiiiiiiit dramatic, but...well, she's still a Madrigal. ]

[camaleonico]

[ He's sticking to video because Luisa needs to see the smile on his face. ]

That's okay! I'll just come dance with you in your room!

[ Like you thought you could get away from him, Luisa? He knows where you live. ]

[neverbreaks]

[ You are so lucky she's not the violent type, primo! ]

ANDRE WILL KICK YOU OUT

[ André will do nothing of the sort. ]

[pan_acea]

WOOOOOO! YOU GOT IT, LUISA! [Julieta clapping and is just cheering her daughter on because LOOK AT THOSE MOVES.]

[neverbreaks]

¡MAMÁ!

[ As if the video itself wasn't bad enough! ]

[pan_acea]

¿Sí, Luisa?

Is something wrong?

[Look, Julieta is aware of growing pains, but considering how good Luisa IS she feels like her daughter should celebrate her skills.]

[neverbreaks]

[ She doesn't have an actual reply, other than ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, so she just ends up making some flustered, embarrassed noises before shutting the feed off.

She's just going to die of embarrassment now kbai ]

[cardinalrule]

[Wow, is he ever glad he tends to stick to texts. There's less of a chance he'll accidentally record and post something that way.]

Soooo I don't think dancing is usually part of weight training.

Where even are you?

[ AAKLDJHFADKJFHA ]

I was just taking a break from my work out.

[ Yes, we'll go with that. ]

I'm just in my room here at Casita.

[cardinalrule]

Well, there are worse hobbies out there.

I thought you lived in a house. That looks like a cave.

[neverbreaks]

We do live in a house. Like I said, this is my room.

[ She'll send him a couple more pictures for proof. The first few are just an expansion of what was seen in the video; the walls, ceiling, and floor made of stone, with machines and weights and ropes and beams - all kinds of ways to work out.

But the last picture is a little different, a space that almost seems carved out of the stone walls to accommodate for someone to live there. There was a wardrobe in one corner and a nightstand, both with touches of wood amongst the dark stone. Between them was a large bed, the cream-colored sheets on the mattress and pillows a stark contrast against the bed's stone frame. There was also a bookshelf, the shelves carved into the wall itself, that held a few books that added more color against the overwhelming gray. ]
