"Yeah. And we should! Some recess? But I said yes to Zon too. I think if - you and Zon don't wanna do stuff together, maybe I can spend one recess with each? And maybe today since I did first recess half and half I can do this one half and half?"

Onis pouts and jogs away.

Zon deals Bright in.

Permalink

She plays, mentally trying to keep track of time and figure out how to balance recesses and...

Permalink

The game goes on kind of long.

Permalink

Will it disrupt gameplay at all if she backs out midway through, especially given she started with the intention of leaving midway through?

Permalink

She can throw the game and let another kid have her deck!

Permalink

She does that then! Zon can have her deck, and she'll go find Onis!

Permalink

Zon is disappointed but doesn't say anything. Onis is involved in sidewalk chalk drawing.

Permalink

Bright tells Zon about her plan to spend future morning-recess with Onis and afternoon-recess with Zon!

Hi Onis! (Does Onis want Bright to join her in chalk drawing, or would she rather do dance planning for tomorrow's morning recess?)

Permalink

Onis puts down the chalk to plan dancing! What is shoggoth dancing like?

Permalink

Bright explains it as best she can, which admittedly isn't very well.

It's really reliant on shapeshifting, though, but not in a turning into specific things way? Since most shoggoths are bad at that. But there's a thing like singing, except with signing and colors, where the dance means something.

It's a bit awkward, doing it on land instead of in water, but she can do a very short bit of one that's about a fault erupting into a mountain island chain, separating two friends! And then translate it! (She clarifies there are parts in this one where you're supposed to glow, too, but she doesn't know how to glow yet, so she does a part that doesn't have that.) (She doesn't know a ton of actual dances, having ever only been to shoggoth communities extremely rarely, but she liked watching dance while she was there, so.)

Permalink

Onis bounces around, trying to imitate stuff.

Permalink

She laughs, and starts suggesting they could figure out a way to do this with the other friend's part being an Amentan dance!

Permalink

That sounds like a good idea to Onis too.

Permalink

Bright tells the whole story out loud, with a few verbal indications of stage directions - there's some three dimensional movement, but she thinks they can manage that with like raised platforms or something maybe, or remove it and do something else...

Permalink

Onis took aerial silks once, would that work?

Permalink

Ooooh, maybe! Depends on how much Onis thinks she can do the signing part with the silks? The signed story is kind of important to shoggoth dance?

Permalink

She can do that part while she's dangling from her legs maybe?

Permalink

Hmmmmmmm, they might have to play with it, and that'd limit where they could put the thing... Usually you do - continual transitions between signs? But the Amentan part can be different, and it might be neat aesthetically if one part is rising and the other staying on the ground...

Permalink

"It'll be hard to practice at the playground if I need silks though..."

Permalink

"Yeah! That's a really good point, and recess is a good time to practice..."

Permalink

Would something with crouching and straightening work for rising?

Permalink

Probably yeah!

Permalink

Onis can do those things!

Permalink

Then they can keep working on details until recess ends!
