HI CAMP LET'S DANCE

[cakeon]

[ In a very convenient open space in camp, there is a huge bonfire!! Near it is a long table where you can get cups of hot chocolate, bowls of popcorn, slices of apple cake and apple cider. And near it is a small stage which has a huge sign above it which says "HARVEST DANCE". Two girls (aka Vanya and Yui) look like they're ready to play their

It looks very nice.

[runstowardsfire]

Some are quite easy . . . you just turn or spin every few steps or so while people clap or drum out a beat. So it's like one-two-three, turn, one-two-three, turn . . . while going around in a circle. There might be leaping included sometimes.

You know a lot about them.

[runstowardsfire]

Yes--we have harvest dances and seasonal dances back at home.

[00_07]

Really? That sounds nice.

[runstowardsfire]

Yes--they are. We celebrate the end of winter, the start of summer and after shearing time once everyone gets their breath back.

[00_07]

Shearing time?

[runstowardsfire]

Sheep shearing. I live in a sheep farming region.

[00_07]

That doesn't kill the sheep, does it?

[runstowardsfire]

No--of course not. The sheep are sheared when the weather is warm and get to keep their coats in the winter.

[00_07]

Are they your pets the rest of the year?

[runstowardsfire]

. . . Not really. Most farm animals are not so much pets as working animals. Even the cat has a job of keeping pests away from the food.

[00_07]

Are you allowed to have pets?

[runstowardsfire]

I can if I could support it. But having the sheep, the chickens, the sheep dogs and the cats on the farm is enough for me.

And there's also Horace . . .

[00_07]

Who's Horace?

[runstowardsfire]

. . . He's a cheese.

*meanwhile, said cheese is investigating the cider in the hopes that it is alcoholic*
