Welcome to Gaia! ::

They say opposites attract, but this Baile Style and Sensu Style Oricorio were constantly at odds. They can't seem to agree which style of dance is the best, and unfortunately for you, you've entered their gym in the middle of another heated argument about that very topic. The other dancers in the gym seemed to have edged away, familiar enough now to know to keep their distance when these spats began. They've been pulled into the middle of it before, and had no desire to get involved again. Before you can turn around and walk back out the door, the pair of soquili are quick to notice you, and before you can blink, they have you cornered.

"Why, hello there!" chirped the Sensu Style Oricorio, his voice soft and melodious; each word spoken pronounced and purposeful. "Perhaps you can solve this silly little argument of ours. You see, my... friend, here, believes in throwing one's body wildly about and flailing their wings is a form of dance." He scoffed the word with a roll of his eyes, turning a glare towards the red mare. "How can one focus on the flow and grace of their body with such sloppy, uncoordinated movements? There's no sense of elegance. I'm sure you understand, don't you?" As he stepped away to demonstrate, a hush fell over the gym when he spread his wings and curved them inward in an elegant arch. His dance is gentle, light, each move gliding into the next with elegant purpose, twirling and swirling across the dance floor. His clawed feet barely make a sound with the glide of his movements -- it truly was a beautiful sight to behold.

The serene calm of the Sensu Style Oricorio's final pose is broken by a loud shout: "HA! You call that a dance? I could barely keep my eyes open, it was so boring! What are you trying to do, put everyone to sleep?" The Baile Style Oricorio turned to look at you now, determined to prove that her style of dance was superior. "Ignore him. Wouldn't you rather watch someone who knows how to dance with emotion? Something that excites you? My style of dance is passionate! It makes you feel alive, like you can take on every gym leader in the world -- and win!" She was a whirlwind of movement as she began her own demonstration: Every snap of her wings was aggressive and challenging, as though she were engaged in a fight for her life against some invisible foe. Her feathers snapped through the air like whips, claws scraping across the floor, the sounds of her feet and wings just as much a part of the dance as the movements of her body.

They were both out of breath by the end of it, but neither of them had convinced the other that their style was the best. Clearly, they still needed the opinion of a third, impartial party, and now that they had both shown off their skills, it was time for you to decide.

"So, which is it?"

"Fierce and passionate?"

"Elegant and graceful?"

"But you can't just tell us which style is better --"

"-- you have to prove it!"

ABVirus and Lady Argentum Draconis, we will go ahead with the game for you two!

If you three are ready, we can start right now if you like. I will unlock the thread after making this post -- otherwise I will wait and start at 7:30 as planned. No worries either way!

I'm ready to go!
Congrats to the Sensu winner! That was an easy win! xD

Roll

And ABVirus comes out the victor! Congratulations, the Baile Style Oricorio Mare is yours!

But you won't be walking away empty handed, Lady Argentum Draconis! Your proxy has their choice between the Pom-Pom Style and Pa'u Style condors! If you already have their preference list, please go ahead and post it -- if not, I'll give them a quote to come pick out their prize. They may also choose to pass, but as these were not surprise prizes, this will consume their one free pass for the event.

Thank you all for playing! I will post uncerts and certing directions shortly. heart
