Plot || The Star Wars Vaikuntha Special
Who: Open
When: June 8-14
Where: Everywhere
What: The race for the crystals is on!!
Warnings/Notes: OOC Post
Crystals have fallen out of the Dream Width in a beautiful meteor shower and scattered all over the world! Due to their origins and mysterious properties, the Curti Center is interested in gathering as many as they can for researching purposes. To incentivize the public in helping out, O'aka has donated a few silver coupons to those top few who collect the most crystals. There's also a rumor that the one person (or more if there's a tie) who collects the most, wins something marvelous and mysterious~
The hunt for these crystals have taken storm across Vaikuntha and they're suddenly worth a lot. It's all anyone talks about anymore! The locals have gone crazy with it! If you weren't interested to begin with, surely the madness that is this new fad has sunk its teeth in. Besides, who knows what the crystals can actually do? Are they gifts? Curses? Dust collectors? Only one way to find out.

Arrow Crystal - Cactuar Island
The Arrow Crystals are in a big pile, all of the Cactuars marching around them. You can't get close, though, as they push you away if you so much as try it. If you keep trying, though, they'll realize what you're after and label you a threat!
But they won't attack. This is a special place, and they won't risk their precious crystals getting damaged in the crossfire. After much squeaky deliberation amongst themselves, one of them hops forward while the rest form a gigantic circle around the two of you. It looks like a duel is about to begin? But the Cactuar still doesn't attack. Instead-...
Instead, he swishes his arms back and forth, turns around and does it again, then hops on top of his head and spins around four times like a top! The other Cactuars let out a low 'oooooh' hum. He hops again to land on his feet, does a twist, drops to one knee, and points at you with one blunt arm. The Cactuars all hop around and jeer.
Prepare yourself, Hero. You've just been challenged to a dance-off.
no subject
Ultra Magnus did not dance in public, unless it was an event where everyone would be distracted. He was already publicly humiliated on Mognet, and...and...
There was no choice was there? He could just have someone else take his place...
no subject
"Hey, you could always go for the truck thing and do a bunch of donuts."

Red reached down past the dash of his everpresent DAHAK Mk.III, and a quiet, crackling hum brought the speakers to life... albeit halfway through a somewhat melancholy-sounding song, led by a starlet's wistful crooning backed by a band ensemble:
--f right now, I could feel your arms around me,
for even just one sec--
And he all but bludgeons his own dashboard into silence. His head hangs low for a moment, jaw clenched, almost looking as if he was attempting to wring the pink of out from his cheeks.
"...Seriously, tell me you have one we can use instead."
no subject
The head Cactaur doesn't 't look very patient. There isn't much time. Perhaps he just has to dance a bit and hope no one recorded it. He just needed something with a beat and a lack of inhibition.
"Do you...have any disco music?" He ran through his memory banks in search for a song from Swerve's indie disco years ago. Something from Back to the Future. The Smiths. "ABBA? Boney M? Er...That's Earth music, isn't it?"
Darn. The nerves were not doing him any favors.
(let's just pretend I transcribed the lyrics the same in the first post)
There's a few moments of hesitation- of cactus-glaring, heart-sinking hesitation- but with the prospect of having a thousand needles driven through them if they didn't play along...
"...just get it over with."
...well, what was just one needle being pushed into him? With all the bearing of surrender, he put the sound system back on, this time bringing it back to the start:
Goodnight; I sit alone here,
Made up before the mirror,
So I ask the blank face staring back at me;
"Hey... are you happy?"
Red sunk deeper into his seat. At least Minimus could feel safe knowing that he wasn't looking; if anything, he looked more like he wanted to take a break from existing for a few minutes.
I want you by my side-
but-
I don't know-
where you could be-
tears-
begin to flow-
If I could just feel you next to me,
Just a little time,
Knowing that you're mine...
"...Forever," came the last word, whispered from the cockpit in a fleeting duet with the singer. The band ensemble came back in far too soon.
no subject
His moves do not reach the level of an idol's grace and finesse, but once he closes his eyes and pretends that he has not audience, he forgoes his unease and adds hand gestures. His arms cross, his fingers create the wake of an invisible waterfall that splashes before him. Ultra Magnus steps right in front of one of the cactuars, but it does not flinch back. They watch the dancer in rapt attention.
Magnus poses at the end and onlines his optics. He wasn't in his room, with a locked door. He was in front of twenty other people.
...He feels as if he made a mistake.
no subject
The Cactuars are left blinking in the wake of all that, both the music and the moves surprising them into stunned awe.
After a moment's silence, they all break out in cheers. They liked it! And the music was killer, wow!
The challenging Cactuar rushes to the pile and presents a crystal each to Minimus and Red.
no subject
...I appreciate your positive reception.
no subject
"Thanks. I think."
Oh ho ho~
Her right foot moves in front of the left for a few rounds before her normally clumsy feet tear into a flurry of rapid feet movements akin to tap dancing. The dusty ground absorbs most of the sound as she performs a dazzling high kick. With an excited look on her face, the perky brunette gives the Cactuar a joyful nod as she waits for the next move to begin.
no subject
The challenger knows when he's been beaten. He huffs a sigh and hops over to the Arrow Crystals to give Selphie her-
"NOT SO FAST!" The voice is accompanied by a cascade of beeps!
The crowd parts as BB-8 and Valli push through, coasting to a stop right where the challenging Cactuar once stood. They turn to face Selphie, and Valli exclaims, "We demand the right to dance!"
BB-8 hangs back, opening a compartment in his little ball body to show an elaborate setup of speakers. A song of classical origins starts pumping through, the droid shaking with the bass and wobbling around in a dance. Meanwhile, Valli does a spin and- That's a moonwalk. She's doing the moonwalk. Oh, that's the worm. And the robot. She's pretty good at this.
And the Cactuars LOVE IT!!!
As Valli's doing the running man, she points at Selphie. WELL!?!?!
no subject
"Hey!" She calls a bit breathlessly to the moogle. "Do you know Finn?"
The perky brunette watches Valli dancing, clearly impressed by the display. She's not familiar with those dance moves as they were never taught at Garden but is genuinely amazed by the talent being displayed.
Selphie gives Valli a round of applause as she saunters over to BB-8. Crouching next to the wobbling robot, the SeeD is intent on asking the robot if it has any other songs. There's one in particular that she has in mind.
"Do you have a song called Waltz for the Moon by any chance?" she asks before turning to the Cactuar with her best courtly bow. "Hey! May I have this dance?"
no subject
The Cactuar, however, looks honored by the question! He bows lowly and steps forward, definitely willing to dance with the victor of their previous dance-off.
not technically from their canon but
Oh yeah. They could work with this.
"Mettaton... this one's for you," they say to the sky, wiping away a fake tear, before breaking out the most biznasty of moves.
Frisk steps forward to the time of an imagined groove, bobbing their head and pirouetting every third step. When they reach the cactuar, they sinuously twist and contort their body in an energetic, jerky manner as the beat drops, moving all around their opponent, before they leap into the air, do a quadruple-spin and a backflip, then land.
Your move, cactus.
no subject
The challenging Cactuar also hops around, impressed by the display, before moving back to the pile. He gets a crystal and brings it over to Frisk with the crowd cheering and hopping all around. Congrats!
Locked to Madhuri
"Madhuri, I do believe they're challenging us to a dance competition. I'm not quite as talented as you are, I think, but I wonder... have you ever heard of such a thing as the tango?"
There was the faintest glimmer in his eye. He'd need something slightly more stylish for this, but he was almost certain he could make it work.
no subject
Sheathing her sword as the Cactaur points to her. "A dance competition? Very well, I accept your challenge." She replies. And it just so happened she and Nozomi learned a particular dance during the time loops. Well, time to see if she remembers all the steps.
Regrettably, she does.
no subject
When Corrin stops, if she ever stops, there'll be a beat of silence before the Cactuars erupt in euphoric joy! Wow! They... really liked that for some reason!
The challenger Cactuar goes back to the pile, retrieves a crystal, and tosses it to Corrin. Congrats!
no subject
...After the first go-round she's actually just rather enjoying herself. This is silly, of course but also kind of fun in its own way.
It's a few more minutes before she realizes the cheering stopped...some time ago. Freezing mid-sway, Corrin looks back to the Cactaurs who are now silently staring at her, her cheeks reddening in embarassment...before they erupt in an even bigger cheer than before. Still a bit embarrassed, but laughing at herself good-naturedly all the same, she catches the crystal as it is tossed to her, and then curtseys to the assembled Cactaurs.
"Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed."
no subject
Klonoa lets a wave start at one hand, and moves it towards his body, trying to move with the flow as it reaches the tips of the fingers on the opposite side. He suddenly pulls both of his arms tight against his sides with enough force to knock him backwards off his feet. He pirouettes in the air, falling back with the impression that he's about to do a face plant--but just before he hits the ground, his descent stops... and he lifts up again slightly, arms at his side while he holds himself aloft at an angle from the ground with the power of his ears alone.
no subject
The Cactuars lose their minds!! Ears! Why couldn't they have had ears!?
The competing Cactuar gladly concedes, hopping over to the pile before tossing Klonoa a well-deserved crystal.
