A small crowd has gathered on the beach, and a few criers were hired to try and draw people here. Some of the shadow citizens of Firmament are holding a competition, of sorts! The crowd is not large, as there is not much in the way of festivities or refreshments, though a few enterprising merchants have set up small, portable stalls selling food and drink. Upon arriving each guest is asked if they're participating, or spectators, and the Gifted who arrive are no different.

Ryusho rumbles softly as he walks in, though he mprhs softly, partly looking around as he is asked if he is going to participate or spectate and mrphs quietly, "...I ..need to thinka bout that for a moment, I am a smith, not exactly a dancer...but I may just for..the sake of trying."

David's curiousity is peaked as he wanders onto the beach, he looks around at the spectators and hmms. He looks around more and points to himself as if saying 'Who? Me?' when asked if he wants to participate, he thinks on that and shrugs, "It... Could be fun... I could try at least." He then nods and blushes, "Sure, I'll participate."

The one doing the asking appears to be a pleasant looking nightingale lass, though there is something a bit off about her. And further examination would reveal her to be one of the shadow folk. She nods at Ryusho, then turns to David and says, "Fantastic! Could I get your name then?" She turns back to Ryusho and says, "There will be no penalties for expressing yourself poorly, beyond possibly a bit of jeering from the crowd. We will do our best to keep them quiet, however. And you need not dance. You could instead perform martial maneuvers or physical feats of acrobatics. So long as it is a physical form of expression."

Ryusho hums softly and then chuckles, "Well I tend ot express myself with how my smithing looks, but I may as well give it a try for the sake of trying." he says quietly, with a nod, "MY name is Ryusho." he says after a bit, though hey, he is one of the better smiths around..

David blinks at the prospect of the crowd and gulps a bit, "Umm, ok... I-I'm David Matthews." he looks to the crowd to see how big it is with a worried expression, he's taking a few deep breaths to to calm himself, cleansing the air around him as he does so

The nightingale nods and writes the names down on a bit of paper she has before saying, "Very well!" Ryusho's name doesn't seem to register with her. Perhaps it is because the shadow folk are new to actually being in Firmament. "The rules are simple. Nothing dangerous to the spectators, and physical forms of expression only. No singing, no story telling, nothing. If you need musical accompaniment to dance to there are some musicians in the dancers area you can speak with. That is where you will be waiting. It's just down the lit path to your left." She lifts a hand and motions toward a path made by torches jammed into the sand of the beach, leading to a couple pavilions with a few beings milling about. That done she seems to be done with the two, already looking past them to see if she has more beings to greet.

Ryusho mrphs softly as he slowly looks around and rubs his head lightly, as he takes a deep breath, as this is not something he is used too, that and with his large build it might almost feel akward to him as he see's quite a few who look rather gracefull he thinks.

David nods and smiles a bit as he calms, "Ok..." he ponders what he'll do exactly as he walks down the lit pathway and looks to the other dancers curiously

The dancer's pavilion is less crowded than even the small gathering in the spectator's area. There are three musicians, none of them shadow folk from the looks of them, two shadow folk who seem to be dancers, and another group of three off by themselves, two shadow folk and one non.

Ryusho slowly makes his way over though he does feel akward since he is such a big dragon-tegu, and also wel, growing clan and..big overall, as he hums softly, shifting his position when he comes to a stop, as he wonders if he should reget considering to enter but..he felt he should for the sake of doing so, at least for some fun, and try too

David looks at the other dancers and then to the musicians with a hmm, "H-hi... I'm David Matthews, Growing Clan..." he introduces himself quietly he looks over to the three by themselves curiously and waves friendily

The arrival of Ryusho draws some attention, a sizing up of the competition, though some continue to stare due to his size. David's arrival and approach toward the musicians doesn't go unnoticed however, and they reply in kind. "Hello there! I'm Jack!" "I'm John!" "And I'm Jane!" The three say this in turn, before exclaiming, "And we're the Jays!" Indeed they all do seem to be avian of a sort. Perhaps all a type of jay. One plays the lute, one a lap harp, and one a set of pipes. Jack, who seems to be the spokesman, asks, "Would you or your big friend over there like musical accompaniment for your dances?"

Ryusho glances up as he hears someone mentioning him though he is blushing a bit more, being so big as a whole, does have its disadvantages sometimes, as even if he disabled his dragon form, he would only be 8 feet tall, but still bigge then most....as he shifts his current 10 foot tall form, "...I Might need music I suppose, though I am not much of a dancer I believe...I work as a smith so ..I don't know if I have the grace to do such that well, but I guess I will find out."

David hmms in thought at the jays and looks over their instruments, "Uhm... Do you happen to have a drummer?" he looks around for a straight stick or pole he might be able to use

Fuyu had seen the gathering in one of her nightly wanderings and made her way over. She looks a little confused for a moment, but shrugs and calls out, "I can try to help out, why not. Why a dance competition though?" She mostly ignores everyone else for now, partially because the shadows are the weirdest part and partially because the others are in her blind spot

The nightingale starts to asks Fuyu for her name and the like, only to pause at the question. "We wished to show that even those without voice can express themselves. In this case through the beauty of motion. Would you like to join in and dance? Or simply spectate? If you would like to join I would ask for your name, so we can call for you when it is your turn." Meanwhile, in the pavilion one of the jays nods and shifts to pull a small drum out from behind them. "I am not as good as this as I am with my harp, but I can do so well enough." Jack turns his attention to Ryusho and asks, "What sort of music would you like to have played for you? A martial cadence?"

Ryusho hums quietly, before he nods, "Something more martial sounding would probably work for me, though I have looked over preformace slightly, but...Yeah, I will try to probably be a bit more martial fromwhat I know...but we will see when the time comes

David nods and smiles to the jay that brought out the dum, "Good, perfect in fact. Maybe... A light, but fast, beat with some martial undertones?" he thinks on that and sighs before hmming in thought

Fuyu nods and wanders over to the mentioned bird and gives her name as, "Fuyu" simply enough, then she begins to think, standing off to the side, debating on the sort of music
