Invitation to a Dance

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 79869

As Fred and Brin (a magical name that keeps reverbrating forward and back from its point of conception) got to their feet and headed for what whould have been the dance floor if the tavern had been a nightclub or something, an elf who had just been served a fried chicken pulled the drumsticks off the bird and started tapping out a rousing rhythm on the helmet of a warrior sitting nearby.

To the surprise of a few newbies, the warrior did not take this as an incentive to start a fight - the fact that she had taken off her helmet to eat may have something to do with it - but instead pulled an oryx horn out of her bag and started blowing it.

Before Fred and Brin had reached the open space and started dancing, more or less improvised instruments had appeared in the hands or arms of several patrons, all of who had started playing more or less the same tune. And it was a dance tune too.

Despite the fact that they were on a rough plank floor, Brin was soon cutting the rug like a pro with her big lapine feet. Unfamiliar with this style of dance, Fred had to improvise his steps as best he could. Nobody noticed that what he was improvising happened to be

  1. a rain dance
  2. a fertility dance
  3. the Spring Dance Of The Happy Does
  4. the male part of a famous pas de deux
  5. the female part of a famous pas de deux. Oh, Fred!
  6. the macarena
  7. the Caramell dance
  8. a declaration of war in the dance language of the mute mountain trolls (two of which are present)
  9. sufficiently hunger inducing for the drummer to get distracted and eat his drumsticks
  10. just a silly dance. Come on, tell me about the woman with the oryx horn!
