This is an in-game event inspired by irl outdoor dances in my city.

Unlike most spontaneous dances in the forest, the event is more about partner dances rather than group dances. Don't be shy to approach another deer and ask them for a dance, impress your partner with your dancing skills and all kinds of unimaginable action combinations, and simply have fun! At the end of the event the dancers get together and form one big conga-line on the bridge.

The event takes place on Fridays and Sundays.
DURATION: 30 min
LOCATION: River bank, near the bridge

CLOSED UNTIL NEXT YEAR

RULES:

These are partner dances (except for the final one, more on that below), and there's a certain (though very simple) etiquette.

Asking for a dance

Anyone can invite anyone, regardless of the gender. If there are no partners available at the moment, just sit down nearby and wait.
- To ask someone for a dance, approach them, bow and tap the ground.
- The person who is offered a dance should bow back and nod to accept the invitation (or shake their head if for some reason they can't dance right now).

Dances

After the invitation has been accepted, the two deer can start dancing. Let your imagination decide what particular dance it is. Button mashing and random action combinations are welcome! It's up to you to decide how long the dance lasts, but please keep in mind that dancing with one and the same partner all the time goes against good etiquette, especially if you see that someone else is waiting for their turn.
- To end the dance, just bow again to your partner (nuzzles are optional)). Once they return the bow, you can go and invite someone else or sit down to take a rest.

The final dance

The whole event goes on for half an hour. At the end Urschanabi (x) will moo twice, inviting everyone to the final dance — a conga line on the bridge. This final dance continues until everyone gets tired and leaves/sits down/falls asleep.


!! Please try not to go afk while dancing or waiting to be asked for a dance, for others might think you're ignoring them. The event is purposely designed not to last too long, so that people actively interact with each other <3


P.S.: This is mainly an OOC event, but IC-charcters are welcome as well. Feel free to include the event in your RPs, add it to your character's updates, etc. Only, if there are going to be any IC-conflicts regarding who danced with whom or whatever, please refrain from starting fights on the dance floor and pushing each other off the bridge during the event

Bonus

A video of the first experimental dancing event (sorry for the low volume!)
Hopefully more players can join, so that no one has to sit and wait for their turn for too long!
