About
You have reached Tolpen. Tolp is still figuring out Dreamwidth and is currently using it to role-play the Soft-Eyed Mycologist, a Fallen London character (see sticky entry). A larger crew might appear, eventually.
Tolpen uses ne/nem/neir neopronouns when feeling fancy, and he/she/they when not. Ne occasionally writes stuff on AO3 under the same name.
Among neir interests belong (in no particular order) necromancy, murder mysteries, TTRPGs, crocheting, toxicology, and pretending ne is a man with a mid-life crisis and a job of keeping the reality together online.
Oh, and ne is still a Homestuck fan in this time and age, gods help us all.

The Mycologist's hand on the Professor's hip, the Professor's hand on the Mycologist's shoulder, and the remaining hands of both joined in the middle, at shoulder height.
"The basic dance involves three steps, and a stop, that's a cycle. It can be in the same place or moving, sideways or forwards then back. We'll start without moving. You move your left foot forwards and I do with my right backwards, first step." The Professor does the mirrored step slowly, allowing the Mycologist to follow. "Return to starting position, second step." Demonstration again. "Then I do my left forwards and your right backwards, third step." Guiding him again. "And during the fourth, whatever you want as long as you don't move your position. You can do a kick" kicks "or tap the floor." taps. "Maybe a spin?" Doesn't, but leaves the chance open. The plan is getting creative. And that finishes a cycle."
"The key, though, are the hips..." This time they gently hold the Mycologist's hips showing how the swaying should go. "Like this, with each step, trying to keep the music's rythm, see?" They're doing the same, but mirrored, their tail emphasizing the swaying. "There, ready for a basic cycle?"
OOC(And here I am, digging my mind for the first lessons. It's been a fun exercise though!)
