Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hila watched with glee as more and more creatures joined them. It was fun to dance in a group, he decided, and let loose just a bit more. Where the others were dancing kind of wild and crazy, his moves were more sly, slick, and fluid. He slid around the dance floor, eyeing the new dancers on the floor. He spotted a pretty cheetah, though, who was off to the side, and chuckled quietly. He was getting a bit winded so perhaps sliding over to chat with her while moving and grooving would be a good idea.

He wormed his way through the crowded floor, panting softly as he continued to dance while doing so. This sneaking stuff was hard work! On top of that, there seemed to be some dust clouds that were stamped up by the more vigorous dancers. He dodged those as well, though, finding no problems in avoiding the. His years in the rouge lands dodging paws and teeth had prepped him for a situation like this. Soon, though, he made it to where the cheetah stood, and he flashed her a charming smile as he continued to dance. "Good evening, my dear. It's a shame you're not out here with us...I'd enjoy sharing this dance with you."

Turning in a neat circle, he watched her from under his cowl, golden eyes shining in the moonlight enticingly. Hey, he couldn't help it! Flirting was in his blood and she was gorgeous.

Kifu smiles at the friendly voice and just nodded, a little too caught up in his dance moves to fully form a response. But that was okay, because Kifu knew he was totally rocking it. The air shifted quickly, and his new acquaintance was gone, leaving the dog back to his own devices. It suited him just fine.

He swished his tail, using the momentum to help him leaping twirl. Probably too complicated for such a small area, but he was letting the music carry him away. His landing was not exactly graceful, but he didn’t stumble either; mostly it just served to kick up more dirt. Kifu could smell it filling the air. He did not stop his dancing, but brought it down a notch, defaulting back to his basic step, step, rock, and step. It gave him a little room to catch his breath too. The night was still young, and there was quite a bit of dancing to still be had.

Nazli found herself nearly head over paws as she made her first appearance to the group, but was fortunate enough to catch herself and quietly begin to mingle and avoid talk about her clumsy ways. She was a natural clutz in somethings and it appeared this would be one of those things. She muttered a grumpy remark to herself, but couldn't be grumpy for long. In fact it was mere seconds until she was a wide grinned lioness again, footing working a little better this time for her.

Her smile beamed happily. She didn't know anyone, and didn't care. What more joy could one have than dancing and being surrounded by those who were doing no more than simply enjoying themselves, and perhaps competing, she felt a competitive air loom over the crowd. It was then that she looked to the sky and fully took in the beauty of the moon. It was getting late, she had barely noticed this, what she did begin to notice was the dust, it had begun to pick up rapidly. She sneered at it slightly, but was determined not to let it ruin her evening and so she kept on boogieing.

[Nazli is destined to be the worst Dancer to ever set paw in Sikukuu.. she should be chased from the prides lands lol]

Auri was having quite a good time. He always loved that such enthusiastic and fun dancing could make someone lose all sense of everything else except the dance that was happening at that moment. He wished a little he had brought someone from home, so they could see him in this element. While he always felt like sunlight shone his beauty the best, he was content to be glorified under the light of the moon here as well. So many had joined since he first started. He wondered if they were all there to watch him. Surely something on going like this shouldn't be much of a challenge for him. Nchi' members were known to have quiet long dance ceremonies every now and again. At least if he did mess up at all here, it wouldn't be nearly as shameful as it would have been at home.

Dauer sat and watched as the area of movement became a whirling mass of color. It was almost mesmerizing to watch, but it was the music that had most of her attention. The puppies were snuggled down between her forepaws, nearly asleep despite all the noise and the constant dancing of those competing. The blind wild dog cocked one ear towards the drums and voices. There were a few noise-makers in there too, shushing or rattling to the beat. She began to shift her weight back and forth just slightly, rocking her shoulders just enough to move them but not enough to disturb the sleeping babies.

Yes, that was a very nice beat indeed! Her tail began to wag behind her, while one ear began to twitch in time to the music. Dance she might not be able to do, but perhaps... perhaps she could add to the festivities in a different way? She swallowed, then tipped her head back towards the rising moon. Very softly at first, she added her voice to the music. It was a mellow alto, vibrating warmly on the lower notes while still able to soar sweetly to the higher notes. To her pleasure, her voice seemed to work well with the dance music. With more enthusiasm she joined in the music, eyes slitted in concentration as her tail waved behind her seated figure.

This... this was fun! It had been so very long since she'd enjoyed herself without any reservations. Something in her loosened that had remained wound tight since leaving her decimated pack. She relaxed and put her heart and soul into the singing, her puppies safe between her paws, a crowd of strangers surrounding her. Perhaps it was time to stop wandering, and stay in a place where she could safely be herself, a place she could raise her pups. The thought flickered through her head, but she set it aside for the time being. For now, just holding her pups close and singing with the others was enough. Later would be soon enough to examine the future.

Oh no! Nazli seems to have a coughing fit. Poor girl!

Clouds are starting to partially obscure the moon, but judging by what is still visible we're about half way between dusk and dawn. Those with keen ears might be able to hear a single thunder roll in the distance. It might be raining somewhere but it's still dry and dusty here. The wind has picked up a bit and it's sort of helping with the dust, but no one wants to stand downwind.


exclaim Stay hydrated! This time around you're making a choice. Do you dance over to the water for a drink or will you take your chances and keep dancing without even a tiny break?
You need to roll more than 30 to pass this round.
If you failed the last roll you don't get a choice, you'll need to visit Ester and take a drink.

arrow Go for a drink. Roll 25-75

arrow Dance! Dance! Dance! Roll 1-100

1-30: It doesn't seem healthy to pant like that. You need to take a short break. emotion_sweatdrop
30-50: You're starting to feel tired. Come on, you can do it!
51-90: You're hopped up on adrenaline and music, no problems yet!
91-100: You shouldn't be able to make moves like that without breaking something. Wow! emotion_jawdrop
