>>1608572I ignore my state of dress and go to check out the DDR machine, hoping that this wasn't a mistake. It looks like an old 5th Mix cabinet that's been converted to run some 3rd party remake of the game full of thousands of songs of questionable legality. "Hi, is this side free? I'm Junko." I ask, trying to sound cheery.
"I'm Reki. Sure, I seem to have scared off everyone else. You can pick first. I don't mind what you choose." She replies, not terribly interested in me. I select something I think I remember, and leave the difficulty fairly low. Reki maxxes out the difficulty and throws on a few handicap mods as well. I just about manage to muddle through the song, while Reki shows off with a bunch of spins and pointless handplants but still gets a double A.
As she's picking her song, she says: "Oh, you're that thong girl, aren't you?" I guess that answers the question of how much other people have been noticing my attire. "I'm becoming known as 'that thong girl'. Not exactly a reputation to be proud of." I think. "Um… interesting fashion choice, I guess. This song's a bit nonstandard. Watch out for the hands." I keep my difficulty the same, as does Reki, but she does remove her handicaps.
The first time I'm required to hit three arrows at once I try bending at the waist, and it just doesn't work, and just gives anyone watching a good view of my butt. The next time round I bend at the knee, and this seems a lot easier, but keeping up with the speed of the song is hard, and I barely make it to the end. We do a few more songs, and eventually I bash out something resembling an okay performance, I even do the spins, but I'm a bit out of breath. At least this outfit is now well-ventilated. I thank Reki for the game and step off the pad, it seems I'm not really good enough to interest her, and her mind is on the game at the moment.
