"DDR, huh? Well, sure, I dabble." He smiles and nods to Xenon, approaching the machine with a soft smile. "Well, alright, then. Let's play." He hops up onto one of the pads, not really caring whether he's first or second player, and Negi stands behind the pads to watch. The disguised demon grins and Negi and gives a wave of his hand before turning to the screen, waiting for Xenon.

"Ah, hello, Xenon-san." The small teacher nods to the android before following them over to the DDR game. Negi decides to sit this one out because... well... it doesn't quite look like it was intended for his little body. And, besides, well... He'd have to watch and see how it works, first. It interests him... apparently, this is a game you play with your feet and not your hands, huh? And from the name... it has something to do with dancing?

Xenon follows Cirus onto the 'stage', and folds her arms behind her back, smiling. "Well, since I chose the game, Cirus-san, you can chose which songs we play." She pauses for a moment, the smile fading from her face just a little. "Also, what difficulty would you like me to perform on?" After all, she couldn't just make assumptions about such things.

"Aah... let's see how I fare on five... as for the song..." Cirus starts flipping through the songs, rubbing his chin a bit as he quickly scans the names that come and go, stopping on 'Sorairo Days' by Nakagawa Shoko. "Aah... Gurren Lagann." He smiles softly before selecting it, selecting a moderate difficulty for himself. He's nimble, but... even so, this game requires practice.

Five was a fairly average difficulty setting; easily beatable for the hardcore gamer, it was somewhere between a casual gamer and a regular gamer. Xenon selects the same difficulty for herself as Cirus had chosen; for fairness' sake. After all, there was no point in even asking him to pick a difficulty setting for herself if she then went and chose an easier stage difficulty.

Of course, the game does balance it. If the player on an easier difficulty and the player on the harder difficulty both do perfectly, the player on the harder difficulty would win because there are more steps and more points to be had... right? I'm not getting this horribly wrong? >>; Anyway, the game starts, and Cirus does... okay. He's not used to having to use his -feet- to play a game, but it isn't as though he doesn't have quick, nimble feet. Between the good coordination and the lack of being used to playing a game like this, it balances out and he does alright. "Ah! Crap! Ah, hah, hah, ah, nnNNNnya..." He seems to keep the beat in time with his breathing, loosing it sometimes and making a mild curse before he regains it.
