Ahem. If you don't care, or don't like humor, skip this post. If you
want to see Covenant and Elsp humilated horribly, and be torn between
gouging out your eyeballs and falling over laughing, read on.

Covenant Stormcrow says, "I would like to thank all of you who so
demanded a return engagement of the Great Bellydancing and Yodeling
Show. Please refrain from any signs of appreciation until we are
concluded."

Covenant winks conspiratorially at Elsp.

Covenant Stormcrow slowly paces around the Central Hall talking softly
to himself.

Forestwalker Atherian Pets a tomato.

Cub At Heart, Old Man at Soul Logistics Ta'sa, The Warcry Connoisseur
begins to weild an ab roller in his left hand.


Elsp La'Saen says, "Here we go again."

You wave a hawthorn berry about energetically.

Bellydancing Vampiress Aztecia, the Bloodthirsty says, "If its really
bad, I will take donations for it to stop."

Covenant Stormcrow stretches his arms out and breathes in deeply, bowing
to Elsp then the crowd. He raises his flute to his lips and softly
begins to play.

Elsp La'Saen coughs a few times and clears her throat, looking as though
she needs consolation.

Covenant urges Elsp onwards.

Covenant Stormcrow plays the flute as he circles Elsp gracefully. His
oiled skin gleams in the light coming through the branches.

Logistics strokes Elsp's head in consolation.

Elsp La'Saen steps into the all too familiar yodeler's pose. She
shudders at the thought she might look a little like Covenant as she
thrusts her shoulders back and glares at imaginary mountain peaks.

Covenant Stormcrow begins to sway slightly to the music. His steps
quicken and his hips rock slightly from side to side as he continues to
circle Elsp.

The Dryads and Treekin, remembering the last show, clap their hands and
form a circle.

Elsp La'Saen mumbles, her skin even paler than usual. She tries to
position herself as far away from Covenant's hips as possible, even
pushing her horse between the two of them.

Covenant Stormcrow pulls his flute away and softly yodels in the ear of
a snowy white charger. He then lifts the flute above his head a moment,
before breaking into an upbeat melodious tune.

Covenant Stormcrow says to Elsp, "If the drummers don't start soon, I am
firing somebody."

Elsp La'Saen looks teary as the drums begin to play, slowly and steadily
beating to announce the torture is commencing.

Covenant Stormcrow breaths deeply and starts to truly dance. His upper
body sways back and forth as he moves across the room apparently pulled
first to one side, then the other, by the drums.

Aelis eats some bayberry bark.

Elsp La'Saen visibly gags as Covenant's hips begin to move. She takes on
a determined expression and stares straight past him, forcing herself
not to see his.. quivering. She opens her mouth, but for just a moment
no sound is heard, then almost as one rips the dressing of a wound in
one quick and painful motion she throws herself into the yodelling at
full volume,"InNn tHe mOoorniiing wE wiill waaake uP aNnd taKeee tOo
thEe aAAaair.".

Covenant Stormcrow stops on the far end of the room, then his face
lights up. His hands go to his hips as he begins a rapid step in
doubletime to the drums, heading directly back to Elsp.

Elsp La'Saen takes a step back as Covenant takes a step forward.. and
another, then another.. as she yodels grumpily,"LoOooK baACk aT tHee
woOOorld, iiiiii'm gloOed t' maaah chaAAair.".

Sir Aelis Winterhart-Pompledorff hides her face behind her hands.

Covenant Stormcrow comes to a stop between the crowd and Elsp, his eyes
closed. His arms sway back and forth like branches in the wind as his
belly begins to undulate.

Elsp La'Saen takes a deep breath and closes her eyes for a moment, her
face tilted to the sky as she tries to escape the pain.

Covenant Stormcrow sinks to one knee while his upper body continues to
sway. He tilts his head to the sky as his movements turn him until he
has his back to the crowd.

Elsp La'Saen sniffles, and steadies herself by leaning on a nearby
branch, yodeling,""SooOotheeErn haaalf is bUurniiin' as wE cliiimb
thoOUgh tHe sKy.".

Covenant Stormcrow dances furiously. The bells on the belly chain he
wears ring clearly as his hips shake back and forth. Raising his arms to
the sky, he leans toward the crowd and begins spinning in a circle, his
flute flashing brightly as he turns.

Elsp ceases to wield a hunter's spear in her right hand.

Elsp ceases to wield a throwing axe in her left hand.

Elsp starts to wield a ranger's bow in her hands.Elsp La'Saen pulls an
arrow out of her quiver while yodeling,"ThERe's tHe conToOurs o' tha
moOuntaAains, tha desEerts and plaaAins..".Covenant Stormcrow parades
across the front of the crowd, drops of sweat flying off his body. He is
oblivious to the many outstretched hands of his young fans as he strains
his old body to keep up with the music.Elsp La'Saen keeps yodeling,
louder, angrier and sounding less stressed momentarily as she nocks an
arrow to the string of her bow and raises it, aiming at Covenant, "AnnND
a hur'caAaine iiis bloOwing, aNnd it tuUrns oncEe agaAine.".

Covenant Stormcrow dodges several small objects with ease, ducking in
between branches as he continues to dance furiously.

Wilderness Apprentice, Renaissance Dawyn, Faerie Dreamer tries to gouge
her eyes out with the nearest tree branch.

Elsp La'Saen takes a shot a Covenant, her yodeling dropping away for a
moment as she mumbles a prayer under her breath that the curare will
stop his terrifying movements.

Layar, a blue-eyed timberwolf leans in next to Elsp, howling loudly in
tune with her, obviously thinking that's what she's doing.

Covenant Stormcrow grabs a branch and swings around as an arrow whizzes
past him into the Great Oak.

Covenant raises an eyebrow questioningly.

Covenant Stormcrow says, "Elsp is trying very hard, people, lets keep
the violent forms of criticism to a minimum please."

Elsp mumbles incoherently.

Jinxsta snuggles up close to Elsp, looking happy and content.

Elsp La'Saen lets a small groan escape, as Covenant's hips continue
moving sporadically, her voice rises in yodel again,"NoOoow tHEes
siiiNking shiips inn tHe wAaateer wHEre AeEeoOoloOOos oncEe stRAayeed!".

Jinxsta urges his companions onwards.

Covenant Stormcrow takes short emphatic steps as he works his way back
to Elsp. His hips thrust back and forth with each step, and a deadly
serious look comes over his face.

Elsp La'Saen shudders and gasps with horror as Covenant makes some
particularly.. bold.. movements.

Covenant Stormcrow advances briskly, his flute now tucked into his belt.
His hand caresses the brow of a dryad as he moves ever nearer, bells
jangling with each step.

Aztecia slaps her thigh, laughing hysterically.

Sir Aelis Winterhart-Pompledorff says, "Blimey."

Elsp La'Saen yodels badly,"AAand theeRes hiistOory aAnd mYstOory aNd
iit's roOoollinng awAay..".

Judiel Stormcrow says, "Blimey indeed."

Covenant Stormcrow ducks under the thorny embrace of a too-friendly
Treekin as he gets near Elsp, then spins to the crowd and begins the
most strenuous part of his dance, giving Elsp a good view from behind.

The corners of Judiel's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.

Elsp La'Saen scrambles backwards over a few plants, her panic almost
causing her to lose balance and fall. All the same, her yodeling
continues - albeit, a little more strained, "Iiii wisSh yooOoo cOoulD
sEee thiis greaAt mYeestEeerey.".

Cub At Heart, Old Man at Soul Logistics Ta'sa, The Warcry Connoisseur
whispers those under the age of 18 must leave now.

The corners of Jinxsta's mouth turn up as he grins mischievously.

Covenant Stormcrow seems a bit winded, taking deep breaths as he tries
to keep up the pace. Facing the crowd, his rocking seems to be moving
him backwards a small amount.


Elsp La'Saen slips a little more and her scrambling finally gives way to
stumbling, she falls over backwards, trapped on the ground by a terribly
inconveniently located branch and the terrifying, wobbling form of the
approaching Covenant. Her yodeling suddenly drops to a very low volume,
maybe she's trying to look inconspicuous and blend in with the
surroundings. Only camouflage can save her now.. she almost
whispers,"EeaArth aAnd suuun aAnd moOOon, hUumaan triiibe, thiiin bluUe
liiine.".

The corners of Blackharp's mouth turn up as he grins mischievously.

Covenant Stormcrow collapses to his knees, raising concerns for a moment
that his heart has given out. Then you notice his rippling belly as he
arches backwards, his arms lifted to Elsp as if imploring her.

Elsp La'Saen tries to shield her eyes from the horrible sight that is
Covenant bellydancing, quietly yodeling,"Eeeaarth aAnd suUnn aAnd mOon
wiiill suurviiive.".

Covenant Stormcrow rises to his feet and turns to face Elsp, swaying
back and forth directly before her as the sweat pours from his body.

Elsp La'Saen takes a deep breath as a shining corona of blinding light
surrounds her. She settles back on her haunches, reveling in the natural
power and confidence of the jaguar. She growls a little under her
breath, then yodels,"Seeedimeeent iS floOwiNg froOm tHe riVeEr tOoo
sEea.".

Covenant scratches his head in confusion.

Covenant Stormcrow says, "I thought I was the one doing the dancing
here?"

Covenant hums innocently to himself.

Covenant Stormcrow steps from side to side, his arms beckoning to the
crowd as he leans into the last steps of his routine.

A Dryad enchantress glances around the surrounding forest, her fiery
eyes not missing a detail.
A Dryad enchantress says, "Do not underestimate the ferocity of Nature
when She's provoked."

Mirromar flashes Valkyrion a joyous smile.

Lunette raises her hand to her mouth and titters girlishly.

Elsp La'Saen bunches her powerful mucles and launches herself into a
majestic leap over Covenant's head, as she reaches the peak of her leap
her wings beat few times as she looks for some route of escape. Alas,
she's ended up in a little pocket of branches and is forced to land just
behind Covenant, before she gets too entangled. She yodels sadly,"NoOow
wheREe aRe the miiighteee ciTiEes, nOo liiineEs toOo beee seEen..".

Sir Aelis Winterhart-Pompledorff says to a Dryad enchantress, "Looks
like She's provoked right now."

Covenant Stormcrow runs in quick small steps next to the yodeling
atavian, and almost appears to be bumping her with his hips as his
movements slow a bit.

Atherian rolls on the floor, laughing.

Judiel Stormcrow says, "Talented..."

Elsp La'Saen cringes at the view of Covenant from behind, softly
yodeling,"Annn axEe uhpoOn tHe broOken groOund tHEe sighhh of tHe
tReees.".

Covenant Stormcrow moves more slowly, his arms appearing to interweave
with Elsp's. If you didn't know better, you would swear she was trying
to escape some insidious doom, but at least she is convincing in her
portrayal of fear and panic.

Judiel Stormcrow says, "Tangled and still yodeling."

Belynia giggles happily.

Aelis sniggers evilly.

Elsp La'Saen starts to sob as Covenant slowly spins around, a few tears
run down her cheeks as she yodels,"AnnNd iiit's flOoatiNg iiin tHe
etHEer.. iit briNgSs meEe toOo mAah kNEes.".

Forestwalker Blackharp nods appreciativly.

Supplicant of the Hammer, Ser Sandman Le'Yuet, Oak of the Sun says,
"Encore?"

"Aroooooooooooo!" Layar, a blue-eyed timberwolf howls.

Sir Aelis Winterhart-Pompledorff says, "NO."

"Heh heh heh" Judiel chuckles.

Aztecia strokes Mirromar tenderly.

Jinxsta howls in insufferable pain.

Runs From Harlots, Kalax Tiercel-Askari, Suave bachelor says, "Encore!"

Judiel Stormcrow says, "I DOUBt it very highly if its done."

The corners of Judiel's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.

Aelis breaks down and sobs uncontrollably.

Covenant Stormcrow says, "We aint done yet."

Elsp grins mischievously at Judiel.

Daimone Belynia, Salient Kindler of Nature says, "Encore!"

Elsp whines pitifully.

Judiel Stormcrow asks, "See those two catching their breath?"

Cub At Heart, Old Man at Soul Logistics Ta'sa, The Warcry Connoisseur
says, "The Horror, the Horror. I mean, Encore."

You say, "Onward!"

Wilderness Apprentice Kushana Tervicz whispers, "I can't close my
eyes...I think they're stuck.".

Elsp La'Saen lets out a yelp as Covenant yanks out a handful of feathers
and jumps back, moving her precious wings out of harm's way. She backs
up a little to put some space between her and Covenant's hips, but
unfortunately comes to a stop as she bumps into her horse. She looks a
little unwell as she stares at Covenant's jiggling and struggles to
yodel,"AnNyoOne goOt a wiiiNg aNd a pRaAyeer.".

Covenant Stormcrow gasps for breath now, as his movements become slow
and sensual, sweat dripping onto the wings that seem to brush him in
encouragement.

Covenant snuggles up close to Elsp, looking happy and content.

Elsp La'Saen narrows her eyes at Covenant and concentrates on not
gagging, she yodels crisply and clearly,"Innn tHe bliNk oOf ann eYEe..".

Elsp La'Saen yodels loudly,"ThaAnkyOou aNd gOodNiigHt!" Then suddenly
vaults onto her horse, she gives a yell and slaps a snowy white riodian
war horse, who, as the drum beat fades away, powerfully kicks out at
Covenant's sporadically moving body in an attempt to knock him to the
ground and put a final and humane end to what few could term 'dancing'.

Covenant Stormcrow drops to the ground in exhaustion.

Covenant Stormcrow mutters, "I .et yo. .ould get . ... o. ...cle
ointment from ... corpse of a sno.. wh... cha..er."

Covenant's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.

Covenant Stormcrow says, "Thank you all for coming. I know, she still
hasn't quite gotten the hang of the yodeling yet, but she at least
stayed on key this time."

Raymath Wildfang says, "..."

Elsp gives Covenant the once-over, eyeing him suspiciously.

Flee for your lives. Its no longer safe.
