From her place just inside the doorway, Keavy surveyed the room with a hawklike gaze. Each person and social situation was studied and analyzed. The location of the bar was memorized. In one corner of the room lay a bubbling cauldron of social possibility. "Heh heh." she chuckled to herself. "Hot tub goodness." She then looked over each of the men flanking her, a plotting look masked by miniskirt and halter top, as her body slowly started to sway to the beat. Taking a step forward, she spun on her heels and turned to face them. "Alright men. Keavy is taking the lead this night. This is the moment of truth, when all fears and ambitions are layed out on the table. Racing on a track is one thing, but building team spirit is paramount. Therefore your missions, and you have no choice but to accept it, is to mingle and dance with Keavy. Starting with you!" Keavy grabbed onto Fastlanes arm and started to pull him into the middle of the room. "Let's see if you've got moves off the track." She said beaming.
