Get Ready For the Show

Who: All the performers, plus any visitors
What: Time to get back into the swing of things! Nothing says "I've recovered from trauma" like learning how to plaster a smile onto your face for the crowds.
When: D1 - D5
Where: The Main Tent
Warnings: None.... Probably

As the saying goes, "All play and no work makes Jack forget how to do his job". On the bright side...

Over the radio, Joker makes a cheerful announcement for all performers to start getting back into the practice schedule with new arrivals to show up on the first day back from the moon. On the first day, he'll be lenient. No one has to be on time, but he does want them to at least make an appearance and token attempt at practice. After that, well... Show up, or you'll have an aggravatingly cheerful stage manager paying a personal visit. He bothers because he cares.

To those who have become familiar with it, the tent is outfitted with all off the usual practice equipment, and new faces will be in for a treat. There are the usual acrobatics equipment: silk ropes, the high wire, trapeze swings. Daredevils will find all sorts of things to threaten their lives with, although they'll soon find that there are magical safety precautions in place which stop the Big Tent from, say, getting set on fire. And the magician stuff? Well.... Don't hurt yourself there.

Out of the love of his heart, Joker will make sure there are bottles of water nearby, so don't be afraid to work up a sweat.

"Are you starting a dance routine...?" Yuya stops while rolling one of the balance balls out of his way. Well, no reason they can't spread their acts around, right? He's curious how well his Pokemon can pick up on it.

Tamaki pauses, looking over at Yuya. As long as he's stopped, he lifts the hem of his shirt to wipe sweat off his face.

"Yeah." He lowers the shirt again. "Riori likes dancing."

Yuya leans over to peer at Roiri with a grin. "Yeah? Are you two going to have an act together, or is this just for fun?"

He knows some other people have integrated Pokemon to their shows, but the acrobatics aren't really suited for everyone.

"Dunno. It's kinda just for fun right now."

Riori trills happily, twirling in a circle, to show that yes indeed, she is having fun.

"But it might be a nice side act. Like, while people are waiting for the next big one?"

"Like an opening act, right?" That's really common for concerts, and they have the occasional small act in between the main attractions--there's plenty of performers now, maybe Yuya should look at an alternative act himself...

"What kind of dance is it?"
puddingemote: (you're my)

"It's the dance from MonGen... from Monster Generation. It's the first song we performed together. Me and IDOLiSH7."

At the words "Monster Generation," Riori holds her wings up and waves them around, then spins in a circle. Tamaki nods approvingly.

"I picked it 'cause it's easy."

Yuya smiles at three Pokemon, rolling the ball behind him so he can sit. "Well, since you've been practicing can you show me how it goes?"
puddingemote: (with you)

"Okay!" Tamaki agrees easily enough, and Riori trills in agreement. If there's anything Tamaki has never really felt, it's stage fright.

He steps back in line with Riori, taps his leg silently to get the right tempo in his head, then starts singing the melody, dancing in time. The moves are pretty simplistic, mostly so that Riori can keep up, her little pom-pom wings waving in time with the beat.

Yuya's not really criticizing their technique as he watches them. It reminds him a lot of what he'd see on TV, although his Mom was a lot more into those broadcasts. The movement, though, and the way people got excited, he liked that.

"That's pretty good!" It's missing the music, and Yuya doesn't have enough tempo to fill it in himself. But he claps regardless when they finish.

"Thanks," says Tamaki, as Riori gives a happy little hop and then does a little bow next to him. He can't help but grin - Riori is so cute.

"She worked hard. I'm glad it's paying off."
