Shake a tailfeather, soothe a soul

Subject: Shall we dance?


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?

Oh, I never specified that the others needed to dance, merely to help fight what creature comes billowing up from the audience. So your help would be much appreciated.

I've had a few ask if they needed to dance too, and the prospect of a full dance and song number is immensely tempting, however...

[heseesonlyher]

You know, you could have just told all of these people that the dancing was required. Then when they all showed up to help out, you'd inadvertently get that dance number you seem to want. You have to catch them by surprise, though. Now that they know the truth, there's a good chance they'll be like me and refuse to show off their skills. Or again, if they're me, lack thereof.

[songbird_slayer]

I could have, but I'd also drive away some very valuable sword hands. There's always a good time and place for a joke!

Who knows? I may have other japes up my sleeve.

[heseesonlyher]

[Well, if that's not ominous.]

You know, if you keep that up, maybe you're the real danger here. I feel like we might need to be keeping an eye on you instead. Who knows when you might spring some kind of surprise on the rest of us.

[songbird_slayer]

That's the highest praise I could ever receive. Thank you.

Do you always have ways to flatter girls?

[heseesonlyher]

That's not exactly what I was trying to do.
Can't say I've spent much time flattering anyone. Not intentionally, anyway. We'll call this one an accident?

[songbird_slayer]

Certainly.

I've got some fantastic nibbles on my entry, at any rate. I should probably start getting ready. Will I see you soon?

[heseesonlyher]

Yeah. I'll be there. Don't mind helping at all where I can. I'm hard to miss, too. Bet I'll be the oldest one there in the bunch.
