Shake a tailfeather, soothe a soul

I thought at first to write in a rather sad and sorry manner, but I decided I don't want to do any of that and instead focus on positivity.

That moon is dreadfully late, isn't it? Tsk tsk. Should anyone find that pesky silver ball, give it a sound scolding for me, would you? I'll step in line behind you and remind it of a few dream-related annoyances I've had of late.

Well. Not all were annoyances. But if you know what I mean, I'll ask you kindly not to make mention of it. I've embarrassed him enough.

ANYWAY, the point of my entry is that I am more than a little concerned with the dreadful dreams I've had flash over the lantern. Thus I offer a service: The Kriegstanz, a specialized dance that draws upon those pesky negative emotions and manifests them into something whose butt I can give my heel. My whole heel. The nastier the thoughts, the tougher the beast.

So while I have volunteered to dance in the square throughout the days until conditions improve and invite you all to bear witness so that I may give you a hand (I'm the one in the horns and a black tail, but I dare say I'm hard to miss even without those features ❤ )... I may need some experienced fighters to back me up on the butt-heeling portion. Sers Zhao and Kasuga, this'll be your big shot. But the more, the merrier.

Heck, I'll bring snacks. It'll be fun. What do you all say?

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying you can transform someone's negative emotions into a tangible form? And then destroy it so it's no longer causing someone to suffer?

[songbird_slayer]

That's the idea! I have little doubt that this sudden influx of nightmares is coming about from an outside source. I aim to provide succor to as many of my fellow dreamwalkers as possible.

[oneblackcat]

Certainly, it would help a lot of people. What makes you say it's an outside force, though? Not that I have any reason to doubt it, but I'm interested in the evidence.

[songbird_slayer]

Got nothing for you, as I am only speculating. I don't think it was any of us who decided to pocket the moon one day, when I see folk still trying to figure out their own dreamotion.

I imagine such feats as the theft of celestial bodies would take a great deal of the stuff. Wouldn't you agree?

sorry! RL has eaten me

[oneblackcat]

You think it was stolen?

No problem.

[songbird_slayer]

Theft is a quiet affair, wouldn't you say? If it exploded, was swallowed into a void or something quite so violent, it wouldn't have escaped notice.

[oneblackcat]

Why would anyone want to steal the moon?

[songbird_slayer]

Boredom? Maybe there's a shortage of moons in the black market? Supply and demand?

[oneblackcat]

Maybe. I suppose if someone is evil enough to take the moon in the first place, looking for a good reason could be a futile exercise.

So, this dance you're offering... does it eliminate those negative emotions for good?

[songbird_slayer]

Do you always feel angry? Just as well, when you're in a good mood, does that last forever?

I can help draw out the emotions for a time, but it's up to the people to help keep it from growing that strong again.

[oneblackcat]

I see, that makes sense. Thanks for your time.

[songbird_slayer]

Of course! I'll dance in the square if you ever need to see it for yourself.
