This was the worst.
After a decent performance at the talent agency, Kaldru was certain he had what it took to impress or... at least communicate with the bees. He had to. He'd seen others succeed, and he'd nearly gotten it before ... He waved a hello to Apibom, though he was far more interested in the diagram than, for once, talking to anyone. The little blueblood squinted at it, staring at it intensely for several minutes as though doing so would divulge its secrets to him; he would be the guru of buzzbeasts. He was going to tell them the greatest of legends, he was going to relay his life's story to them, he was - he was at least going to get them to take a simple command!
"I'm gonna do it," he announced to Apibom, finally. "I'm gonna talk to the bees."
The highblood practically stomped into the 'bee-rena', though he did calm his determined steps so as to not accidentally stomp on them. He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath as he visualized the diagram; Kaldru extended his arms, then began to hop slowly in a circle. With each successive hop, he tilted his backside, wiggling one way then the other in a rather ridiculous looking motion. He looped around, curling over his path and determinedly working up to nearly shaking his whole body. He was going to talk to these bees. He was going to communicate with them properly. He--
Nothing.
As he finished, he waited, only to very gradually realize they were ignoring him. He rested his hands on his hips, waiting a bit longer, then let out a most frustrated shriek of "ARGH!" before stomping back out towards the main booth.
"I can't do it! They're ignoring me!" he pointedly whined at his friend, looking nigh on to the point of tears by then. "I did everything it says! They won't even look at me!"
nepsah lmao ayy we should do a 'teaching kaldru bee dance' prp sometime because holy s**t he sucks at it LOL

There was a long, for Kaldru anyway, pause, but at length the blueblood did seem to relax. The offering of honey, which he'd grown to adore, calmed him ouf of his near-tears state, and he took it with a sullen pout and a wipe of the eyes. He turned that pout towards Apibom before sighing softly at them.
"They were real rude!" he complained, unhappily. "I don't even think most of 'em looked at me at all. Um ... it's okay though, I know it wasn't your fault. But that dancing stuff is really hard, so not even getting a look..."
He huffed, then hugged the jar as though to comfort himself before turning to wander off for another booth.
"I'll ... maybe I'll try again tomorrow, I dunno. I'll see y'around though, Api!"
nepsah yes! that sounds great~ i secretly hope i keep rolling low for him |D lmao

Chiara Moteku
6-10 --> You did your best and a few of them seemed to get it. They spent the next five minutes dancing among themselves to translate to the others. It didn't go well.
Chiara, as nosy, overbearing, and a pain in the a** as ever, hovered over the dance booth. "Apibom!" Chiara yelled as they just gave away important information. "You cant just give that away! This little kid needs something, the least he could do is to pay for it!" Chiara tried to calm down. This was a perfect opportunity for beetles, and they was letting it get away. This yellowblood needed her. "Hey! Kid!" Chiara yelled after the blueblood. "Lessons! Only 25 beetles! A steal right?? Sure you could get the free lesson, but just a bit of a tip and this here kid will teach you the truly good stuff!" Chiara then tried to do the silly bee dance communication. It didn't go well, but thats why she was so good at this, improv. "See that? Thats all youll get with the free lesson,"

"I know..! It will be okay though, I'm sure of it." Api nodded, hoping that their encouragement would keep Kaldru from getting too discouraged. "Yes, please do come try again tomorrow, I'll be waiting-- oh..!" Api had meant to wave Kaldru goodbye, but Chiara's sudden yell of their name caught them by surprised. The little yellowblood jumped a good few inches off the ground and turned to look at her with wide eyes. Did they do something wrong??
"O-oh, uh, I'm sorry..!" They hadn't even thought about that! Chiara sure was smart- honestly, who would've thought to charge for bee dancing lessons...? Still, it felt kind of weird to make a... friend... pay for lessons. Kaldru was a friend, they supposed. As close to a friend as they typically got, anyway.

Nictor Sabbat
On break from his own booth, Nictor went wondering again at the encouragement from Bee. See what all was at the festival and go check out the other booths!
Then again, some of the other festival goers seemed to be checking him out like prime cuts of meat at the grocery store. He'd gotten past is fear of abrupt onset cannibalism from trolls in crowds for the most part, but he could feel their eyes on him like, trailing over his spine like sharp needles tracing down, looking for just the right spot to stab that would paralyze him. He shivered, trying to dispel the feeling, and hurried along.
Hearing a familiar tone of buzzing gave Nictor pause. It wasn't the same no. The buzz Nictor knew was deep and loud, the kind that resonated in his bones. This was like a tickle in his ears, the sounds of hundreds of wings layered on top of each other, a mass chittering in cohesion rather than one giant entity. Still, that was definite the sound of a buzzbeast.
Nictor curiously approached, taking in the setup with intent. and there, behind the counter, was a familiar little yellowblood. It was one of the kids who'd been frequenting his booth! He'd never met another troll with a buzzbeast lusus before, but he was sure the kid would be raised well given circumstances. wow an entire swarm of lusii? What a strange idea, having more than one guardian. Nictor did know how traditional hives worked though,a cohesive single unit, a smooth machine that ran on nectar and honey. So, what was the game here?
A dance huh? Nictor glanced over the diagrams, not thinking too much about them other than the directions he was supposed to give. He and Bee preferred hums and chitters, given Bees size made it hard to dance anywhere but in wide open spaces. That didn't mean Nictor didn't know the song and dance though.
It would seem that his accent was a little thick though. The dialect of a giant buzzbeast was less subtle, more broad motions with small complimentary motions, not the tighter turns and curves of a normal sized swarm. It was like they could understand bits and pieces, recognize that it was the same language on some level, but they ways they spoke it were incompatible and almost incomprehensible. the syntax was all switched around.
A few of the swarm got it and tried translating to the rest, but the conversation took a turn to slow questions on dialects being exchanged and nothing was particularly achieved other than an interesting, if long, chat. |
