Luau, The Main Campfire, Friday evening

The main campfire had been turned into a tropical paradise... without the tropics. There were leis and grass skirts to wear, tropical music playing, a buffet table, and the infamous Limbo Stick of Destiny, an artifact brought back to America from World War II. Noody knows what happens when a person wins a limbo competition involving the Limbo Stick of Destiny, but several experts on the subject suggest that "absolutely nothing happens except maybe you win a little trophy."

It was party time at the Fandom High Summer Camp.

[OOC: OCD is up. Yes, there is pig, poi, and sometimes the band will switch from generic tropical music to 60's beach movie music, or maybe reggae, or Raffi. They're unpredictable like that.

The luau takes place during a long break in the rain that

fh_weather is reporting. Yes, I'm modding the weather. Admin privilege.]

Nadia followed his lead. Dance that involved hip movement?

Yeah, she could do that. "So what story are you telling?"

"The two of us are telling the story of a young girl who lived with her family in the mountains. She was happy and carefree and her life was filled with music and family."

Blair held up arms and moved them back and forth. "Now put your arms into it. Pretend you're waves on the ocean or something equally poetic."

"One day, the fisherman left the village to head out to sea. The girl came down to the beach to wave goodbye."

Nadia waved her arms about at about chest level, pretending to be waves.

Blair nodded and bounced a little, because with Blair...even hula dancing includes bouncing.

"The fisherman didn't return and the village grew hungry." Blair slowed his hip shaking and waved his arms at stomach level. "They went to the gods for help and the gods told them that the fisherman were trapped in a terrible storm."

"Now you have to be a terrible storm." Blair grinned. "You can sway a little faster or move your arms up higher to convey rain or even turn in a circle."

Nadia swayed faster, added a bounce or two because, well, Blair was doing in, wiggled her fingers as well as her arms and turned in a circle.

This was fun!

"Great storming!" Blair bounced and joined in simply for the fun of dancing fast before continuing with the story.

"The gods said they could calm the storm and save the fisherman, but they needed a gift. The happy girl had to choose to come live with them forever." Blair said sadly. "The girl didn't want to leave her family and her happy life, but she knew she had to help the fisherman. So she said goodbye to Hawaii."

"Okay, now you just wave a lot." Blair lifted one arm to wave, swaying his hips and turning in a circle.

Nadia turned and waved and swayed. "That's a sad story."

"It gets worse." Blair started doing steps back and forth, waving his arms like he was throwing flowers on the ground.

"The girl walked up the mountain of the gods. She told the gods she would come to live with them forever and the storm at sea faded away, and the fisherman started rowing home. The girl looked out once more over her homeland and then..." Blair looked over at Nadia. "Now keep swaying but crouch down slowly till you sit on the floor."

"She jumped into the volcano, forever to protect the fisherman from storms and live with the gods. The end."

Nadia slowly swayed her hips back and forth until she was in a crouch.

Then, because she thought the story should have a happy ending, she smacked her hand on the ground and straightened her legs to stand back up, butt first.

"But then the girl built a model of herself out of volacanic clay and fooled the gods and ran away to go back to her village and live happily ever after."

Blair stopped mid-sway and laughed. "Awesome!"

"You're a great hula-er, man."

Nadia grinned. "Thanks!" The band kicked into "Wipeout" and Nadia started cheerfully doing the swim.

Blair laughed and rolled his eyes. "This song tells no story!"

"But it has a great drum line!"

"Okay, I'll give it that." Blair bounced around in a circle.

The hip wiggling to this music was much, much, MUCH faster than the hula music, and Nadia bounced around almost as much as Blair as the main drum roll hit, her hair flying every which way.

Anything that you could bounce to was good music for Blair. Headbanging also seemed to fit in and Blair rocked out next to Nadia.
