SQ + playing DDR
Solids:
* Shiki would be awful. He’s good at dance for his job but he does not have the coordination to be pressing buttons while dancing around the machine. He will complain about some random joint being in pain after one song to try and escape the embarrassment of it all.
* Rikka wouldn’t be good or bad, he’d be decent but he’d still be better than most people he knows. He can go for a couple of games before he really starts to feel tired (zonked out) from it, but he will play some of the harder songs if he’s playing against someone just to be petty and show off (competitive asshole).
* Tsubasa would be really good only because he has coordination and the stamina of a five year old on crack. When he plays he misses a lot of notes because he’s not Good good, but he always survives through the song - him and Rikka get into a lot of fights because of this (arguing over how he basically died that song, but jo be didn’t because see he still survived and got a B).
* Dai is just as bad as Shiki, if not worse. I think he would get confused really easily by the arrows and having to tap the tiles at the same time, his brain just doesn’t make the connection fast enough while playing so he ends up tapping too late. But he has the problem of getting dragged on to play with Tsubasa. Rikka absolutely has a video of them playing together and it’s just Tsubasa going at it and Dai standing there on the middle tile looking like he’s about to burst into because he forget to change the difficulty to beginner and all the arrows are making his brain explode.
Quell:
* Shu is good at beginner difficulty, and sometimes basic if its ranked at a 4. He much prefers watching, but when he goes to the arcade with all of quell it becomes a family night of everyone getting to play together with each other no matter what. When he plays with Eichi he will absolutely put all the cutesy love songs on because he’s awful and he thinks it’s funny when Ichiru starts making fake gagging noises in the background.
* Eichi is surprisingly good at the game, using the backbar and all. When he first played with the rest of quell Ichiru was so shocked by how good he is at the game, he would have said something he didn’t want to admit like “Is there anything you’re not good at Eichi?” And he would have ignored everyone out of embarrassment until he’s invited to play. Eichi can play for long periods of time though, when he’s getting tired he just takes off his hoodie/cardigan/whatever outer layer he’s wearing and continues - which for Shu is a special little treat because he gets to study how the muscles in Eichi’s arms tense and move when he uses the backbar (he is not going to heaven).
* Issei is bad at first purely due to his introverted nature. He’s afraid of being watched and people staring at him and the rest of quell, and all the noise is so overwhelming. So when he first steps up and plays his first song, he very nearly has a meltdown and he can’t continue. But overtime he gets used it, Ichiru holding his hand while they play for a while does in fact help even if it makes him feel childish (the pictures and videos Shu and Eichi got that day filled up the rest of their phone storage). Now he’s at a level of not good but not bad at the game and he doesn’t mind. He prefers playing the slower songs (as slow as they get on ddr lol) and he finds it fun to get a little competitive with Shu since they’re at about the same level of skill.
* Ichiru is good but not as good as Tsubasa or Eichi. He has his standard rivalry with Tsubasa going on, but they tend to get in arguments about playing with the bar vs playing without, since Ichiru learnt how to play with the bar from Eichi and Tsubasa never taught himself how to play with the bar (which he’s mad about). Eichi always has to disengage the fighting with a rant about play styles and that everyone plays differently and it’s perfectly okay so can we please take a breather and calm down. He has tons of stamina though and could play with Eichi for hours. He often forgets that people aren’t always good at these types of games, and he always ends up picking difficult song when he plays with Shu and nearly kills the poor man.

SQ + painting nails
Solids:
* Rikka paints both Shiki’s and his nails (if he isn’t wearing fake ones)
* Shiki has no idea how to paint nails. It isn’t that he doesn’t want to learn or can’t be bothered, but more so that if he has time to paint his nails then he has time to be working on music
* Rikka loves nails and painting them, it goes hand in hand with his love for fashion. He’ll paint all of SQ’s nails when given the chance, but he likes painting Shiki’s the most - if not just to fuss over him and spend time with him
* Much like Shiki and Rikka, Tsubasa paints both Dai’s and his own nails
* Tsubasa, much like Rikka, enjoys nails along with fashion, but he isn’t as interested as having fake nails and designing new ones quite like Rikka is. He does love to joy Rikka when he gets his nails done though, he’ll happily sit and watch the process while chatting away with him.
* Dai is someone who I don’t think would care much for it at all. He doesn’t think that having his nails painted suits his general image, and it could perhaps be a point of self consciousness as well. But he isn’t the type of person to seriously say no to Tsubasa; if Tsubasa comes along asking to paint his nails then he’ll let him (after jokingly saying no at least ten times).
* Sometimes, if Rikka is feeling tense or particularly anxious about something, you can find anyone from SQ being say down to have their nails done by Rikka. It helps him to destress and calm down, but also really if Rikka says you’re coming with him to have your nails painted… then you’re going with him and sitting down for however long it takes no matter what.
Quell:
* Shu and Eichi paint each other’s nails
* Shu wouldn’t have been previously interested in nails, but he’s a perfectionist and stickler for detail so he’d learn quickly how to paint a good nail
* Eichi has two sisters so he knew how to and wasn’t awful at it, but he doesn’t have Shu’s perfectionism so it would be a little shaky in some places
* Ichiru and Issei wouldn’t have ever painted nails before, but after seeing Shu and Eichi do it for each other they’d be curious about it
* Issei is a lot like Shu in that he’d pick it up quickly, but like Eichi I think he would have the slightest shakiness to it no matter how hard he tries
* Ichiru is the worst at painting nails by far; he doesn’t have a steady hand and ends up getting the polish over Issei’s skin more than his nail. He might even knock the bottle over and make a mess. But Issei thinks he’s the best at it by far and loves when Ichiru paints his nails
* Sometimes they all paint/fix each other’s nails, it’s rate as they’ve all gotten into this sort of habit of painting their pairs nails, but sometimes Shu will fuss and neaten out the polish on Issei’s nails before a job, or Eichi will get kidnapped by Ichiru and get forced (sit happily and play along) into being his practice dummy
