It was a night of full moon, and the entire gypsy territory glowed white with it's light. The fire had just been lit, so it was starting up, and then it caught on finally and roared into a fiery blaze. A few cats were milling about or sitting around the flames, waiting. It was the full moon at the end of winter, time for a Gypsy party. A few cats vanished following a tortoiseshell she-cat, and returned dragging a full out set of many different kinds of drums.... she set them all up, some were on crates and bases, some on the ground, so they were all at the same height, easiest for Hinata to play.
Other cats began to gather, and tune up their voices with some quick warm ups, ready to sing their hearts out, like any other gypsy party.
It was then the dancers began to arrive, garbed in scarves, dyes, and jewelry to make the eye spin, or the tom drool.
Cats crept from their businesses to watch the dancers, listen tot he singers, and dance themselves, while others, thieves, and the food sellers crept around, looking to make some trade or pay from their wares.

Lump settled on a rooftop to watch the festival. She liked to have fun and all, but she didnt feel like doing anything on this cool star spotted night. Her plain cream fur, which she'd ringed with dark green stripes, was blowing in ruffled spikes because of the chill breeze. The cats by the campfire didnt seem to feel it, but the ones further away would.
Her all-too-common brown eyes were alert as she watched the Gypsies begin. She raised her eyes around nearby roof tops, wondering if anyone else was doing the same thing she was doing; there was an albino on the Forge's roof whose tail flicked back and forth as she watched. A customer of Lump's, actually...

A beautiful white she cat trotted in, extremly graceful. She seemed like she could be a StarClan cat, she looked like an angel, walked like one, danced like one, and had the same personality. The perfect sweetheart.
A black she cat padded in, though her spirits were far down. Emotion had been hurt many times over, and she had come to this dance in hope to make friends, since all of hers died. She had easily fallen in love with Gill, but he disappeared. Typical. Why should she have trusted an Axle family tom? How stupid she was...

The said Axle related tom, had actually been running among the dogs for a while, another group he had joined, and did work in every so often, but really he had much better things to do, especially ever since Elva had kits... now he was back and looking for, oh THERE she was. The white tom flipped fur out of his eyes with a shake of his head and trotted up to Emotion. "There you are... sorry I've been gone... life duties and all that.. did you miss me?" he asked tail flicking. If his grandfather could see him now he would go through the scolding of a life time, Axle had learned attaching oneself to a she-cat went poorly.... If his Grandmother could see them, She'd be screeching at him attacking him, and then telling Emotion to find someone, ANYONE better... but Onyx was dead, and Axle was believed to be, so HA!
Terrantia sat down by Lump. "You going to stay up here tonight?" She asked her friend in interest, considering on whether to enter early, late or as soon as the music started.... Terrantia was impossible to keep from any kind of party, Dance, or otherwise entertaining event.

"Why?" Emotion meowed, though she was happy he was here, she was still angry he had left her. she was connected in many ways, and knew he had been in the dogs. that's where Stripes was, and where her supposed to be adopted son wants to be, even though he disappeared. "Why'd you leave the dogs anyway? If they're soo much better." She growled, but couldn't muster it enough to sound furious, just mad and angry. She had lost so much to mates, death, and dogs already, she didn't want to deal with it again.

"Well.... actually the dogs aren't that great, and I'm not really a part, okay so technically I am, I went through the cage and all that, shvatever, but I only stay there rarely, NOT my favorite place, not enough...." he was about to say hot she-cats, and reconsidered "Light." he finalized. The half second hesitation wouldn't be noticed by Emotion. "But I wander everywhere, it just so happens they were having an important meeting, and Elva needed another few cats for a certain trial... so she sent someone to find and ask me to come help... along with Twila who I haven't seen in forever, and so then i got caught up talking to Twila.... and THAT is why I was gone." he explained, it was... MOSTLY true.

"Mmhmm. I'm sure that's what happened. Look, I have a show to do. We'll talk after." Emotion meowed and before he could say anything she trotted up to Hinata. "Hey," She meowed to the drummer, happy she was here. Now a singer would be great, though it wasn't needed. Emotion quickly groomed down her black fur, making it shine. She always did 'shows' since she was now pretty much a pro dancer. She always opened and sometimes closed the dances. But she wanted to mix it up and get a singer to sing while she dances as well. She didn't glance at Gill, even though she wanted to. She wanted him to understand that he had hurt her and angered her by disappearing for that short while. Maybe he'd get it sooner or later.

Hinata smiled at Emotion. "What kind of beat you want Emotion?" she asked hopping up on one of her big kettle drums, it made a satisfactory bomp.

Emotion smiled and meowed. "How about a nice 160 tempo?" The black she cat suggested, kneading her paws on the ground. 160 was a very quick tempo.

(90 is actually REALLY slow >.< a fast would be like 160... 120 is a moderate pace, sorry, i'm a total music freak XD)
"alright, four four? three four? three eight? what kind of measure? what style music? African.. Indian... European, dance, techno, rap, latino.. waltz maybe? ehh too fast for a good waltz.. polka?" she asked tapping each of her twelve drums once, checking sounds... making sure they were arranged well...... She had decked herself out well as a drummer.... she had a scarf tied round her ears, and a gold tail band with a tail cap, easier to make sound on a drum with... she wore bangles with little bells on them... for extra beats and sound, her necklace was a leather choker with ivory claws tipped with gemstones. She had gold hoops hanging from her ears, visible under her gold and purple scarf around her ears.

"Hm, fast R&B." Emotion meowed with a grin. She loved dancing to R&B songs. BEst lyrics, easy to understand, but still could be fast. Great to listen to, great to dance too. Now they needed a good singer.

((R&B has the best lyrics?? Ur insane.))
Lump looked over at Terrantia, brown eyes reflecting the glow of the fire.
"Actually, I think I just heard someone call my name." She wasnt much of an impressive notes singer, but she could manage rap like no other. She smiled a quick grin Terrantia's way, then jumped off the roof.
The striped she-cat joined Hinata and Emotion,
"Missing someone?" She asked, tapping the mike that some cat had been thoughtful enough to bring along to the camp fire each night with one claw.
"I'll 'sing' if you need a singer."
An older tom with chalky gray-and-white patched fur and mix-matched yellow and blue eyes sat down beside the albino on the roof. It was clear they were friends or at least that they traveled together.
The albino flicked her tail in Gill and Emotion's direction and the gray tom chuckled. They started a quiet conversation, no longer really paying attention to the dance.

A ginger tom padded out into the clearing, it was Flick a smith. He looked around the clearing and saw Emotion with Gill. Emotion was his sister. Flick sat down, he was not going to intrude on there conversation. He looked around to see a dark tabby tom walking his way, it was his brother Stripes. Stripes strolled over and sat down by Flick.
"I see Emotion's found a someone" Stripes meowed musingly and looked over at them then back to his brother. The two had the same build almost except that Stripes was a bit more muscular.
"Yeah, I've seen him around." Flick replied and continued on in a lower voice, "His name is Gill" Flick meowed looking at the flaming fire. His amber eyes bright.
"Oh" Stripes meowed in a husky voice.
"Yeah, so how's SaraLee been?" Flick asked carefully changing the subject off Gill and Emotion.
"Good, she's been good" Stripes replied his tail flicking up and down, side to side.

Hinata grinned "Well, there you go Emotion....." she then thought through a rhythm in her head and began with some tapping, and beating on the drums. Bing bing bomp bebomp bing bing bomp bomp. she began speeding up, till she hit the correct tempo, and kept the beat steady.

Flick looked up at Hinita as she spoke and could not but help tap his foot slightly to the music. It was almost first nature to get up and dance. Stripes of course not being one of the best dancers at all just enjoyed the music and beat of the drums.
(Hey ktty could u bring SaraLee?)

(No not really Willow. That's Emotion's perspective, not mine. I think mildish- middle rock is the best. Like Three Day's Grace and Panic at the Disco. Love them, their CD's are awesome.)
Emotion nodded. "Perfect." She meowed, turning to Lump. "That'd be great! Sing whatever as long as it goes with the tune and is catchy." The black she cat smiled then bounced off stage. She'd already prepared a routine for this.

Dark purple scarf wrapped around her neck, silver hoops and silver studs with amethysts in her ears came Saralee up to stripes, she leaned against him lightly. "hello love, how is life?" she purred softly.

Emotion stood out of sight, staring at the ground. At the moment, she couldn't stand Gill. Abandoning her for the dogs, then coming back to ask if she missed him. Urg! But she knew she didn't have enough strength to never speak to him again... she'd cool off, and she knew it. But she had never felt so alone, back here where there was no one seemed a metaphor. No one... everyone left. But she'd get over it, maybe make a few more friends before dawn, before the dance was over.
(Sorry... shes a very emotional kitty. Hence the name)
Emotion shook her head and reared back on her back paws, twisting and twisting, appearing into view. Jumping into the air, she did two full flips, landing on her two back paws again and begin to twist, doing it four times before it was Lump turn to come in.

"It's good now that your here" Stripes meowed looking at SaraLee lovingly, he flicked her ear and watched Emotion dance, he noticed she seemed quite angry.
Flick rolled his eyes, "Mhm" he meowed but did not take his eyes off his sister who was dancing. He might go talk to her later...

"Wow, your sister is really good Stripes.. why didn't you tell me you had amazingly talented siblings?" she asked nudging him with a smile and a wink. Terrantia came down off the roof, listening to Hinata's beat, other cats began to dance around the fire. She didn't want to steal Emotion's show, so she sat down in the shadows, fire light glinting off of her many piercings, and jewelry, and her died fur, an exotic wild she-cat.. who could resist? along with the bar through her eyebrow, and all the piecing sin her ear, including gold hoops with rubies that hung down, gold and silver rings and studs, and a few ruby studs in her ears, one industrial gold bar went through her left ear. She had a ruby stud on the side of her nose, and her lower lip pierced with a shining steel ring. Her black and white fur had gold swirls on the white and barely visible gray melding and swirls on her black fur. She flicked one ear, causing a slight jingle. she had blood red, and gold bangles around her front left paw, rings specially designed to not slip off of cat toes covered all the toes of all four feet, some diamond, some gold, silver, ruby, one with emerald, one pounded steel.... her choker tonight was probably stolen from some punk int he kittypet towns... or maybe a special order from the smiths and yet... she would still be able to dance, and leap, and do acrobatics... she didn't relaly dane.. she was a master acrobat though, and could keep a beat, so heh! let's call it dancing! |

Emotion did a sommersault on the ground, until she reached a scarf with light fabric on the ground. Shw twirled up again to four paws, scarf suddenly around her neck. She rolled onto the ground, the scarf laying flat except for one of the ends, which was in Emotion's jaws. She spiraled in 360's, with grace that seemed impossible, twirling the scarf off the ground the whole time, jumping up and still twirling 360's, the light red scarf twirling and twirling around, before she came back to the ground, paws not making a sound, scarf floating after her to land wrapped around her neck once and laying across her back, over her tail, tip barely touching the ground. It looked fantastic against her black fur.

Flick watched his sisters every move and turned to look at SaraLee as she spoke listening to what she said and the music at the same time.
"Yeah she is really good" Stripes agreed with a smile as he watched Emotion dance beautifully to the music.

Maddie sat and watched all the dancing and singing. She looked down at the sack hanging off her neck where she kept quite a few of the jewelry that she made. She slipped off the pouch and opened it. She got out the 4 most pretty things she had made. One was a long silver chain with a gold moon and star hanging on the end of it. The second was a short chain with little jewels all along it. The third was a gold earring with a blue jewel on the tip of it. And the fourth was another earring with a red jewel and a green jewel on it. She sat and waited to see if she would get any costumers tonight.
