Rei looks very surprised when others come to join them.
Did Tiki have all of these people prepared beforehand? I wouldn't put it past her.
Rei giggles to herself as her song starts. She's unsure on the language, as most of the crowd seems to be, but like it nonetheless. Once there's a few moments and notes to know how the song is going to play out, Rei smiles warmly at the crowd and begins to dance. Trying her best to match the upbeat nature of the song, she does something similar to Shinpuru's war dance, but lighter hearted. An almost march-like step, but then on every fifth beat, she does a little spin. She continues this, making her way around and encircling the impromptu band that formed.

Tiki, Rei, and the others finish the jaunty tune, and big applause rises throughout the hall. Tiki smiles and waves, and readies for another song. The next song that starts up is a up-beat, poppy song now with regional appropriate language. Tiki then moves up and down the table, swaying and bobbing along with Rei's smooth dancing and spins. |

When Rei sees Tiki dancing along, she spins up to where Tiki is on the table, and offers her hand. She mouths a question.
"Dance with me? I'll lead for you."
She winks at Tiki.

Tiki, blinks, and then beams, and quickly take her hand. "Yeahyeahyeah!"

Once Tiki's hand is in hers, she lifts it up, and spins Tiki around. Rei then takes her dance captive's other hand, and almost does a high-energy waltz with the song. They stay on the table itself, in the middle of the band, and Rei continues to lead the dance. During off-beat moments of the song (Like at :56), Rei stops the traditional parts of the dance, holds Tiki to her side with both of them facing the crowd, and does cute things like swaying their hips side to side. Just to keep the dance less formal, which is closer to what Rei is used to.

Tiki haves a blast spinning, and waltzing. She also tries her best to hold in the giggles as the pair elicit some "Wooo!"'s from the crowd as they shake their hips. The band eventually tapers off, and the song ends. Even louder applause from the crowd. They decide to change it up a bit for Rei to get some more traditional dancing. Tiki and the band begin a dark, sorrowful ballad, again in another foreign language. |

As the song ends and Tiki transfers to another, Rei gives a bow to her.
"You are an excellent dance partner, Tiki."
Rei moves to the front again, so she's alone. A song like that reminds Rei of once of the first dances her mother taught her. One that had a story behind it. One of a maiden grieving the loss of her lover so strongly that she took her own life to be with him. There's slow graceful movements as Rei gestures to the ground representing the one who was lost. Then spins a few times slowly as the maiden attempts to cope with the loss. Gestures to the sky to ask Arceus to return the lover's soul to her. And then finally as the song ends, Rei lays down as the maiden gives up on her life.

The quiet crowd, after watching the beautiful performance, gives a standing ovation. Tiki claps, and helps up Rei. "You're super awesome, Rei! A standing ovation, and we aren't even done! Come on then!" The band starts up a whimsical, light tune to start picking the crowd back up. Tiki sways, and waves her hands in the air to get the crowd to join in. She smiles at her success, and grins as more people come into the hall to watch the performance. |

Sano sneaks in as the spectral performance ends, just in time to participate in the applause. He's delighted to see Tiki and Rei at the heart of the commotion, and allows Mitis and Hanko to sit on his head and shoulder to see the show.

Rei gives a bow to the crowd's ovation, and as Tiki picks things back up, she motions to members of the crowd to come up and dance with her. She notices Sano entering, and gives him a wave and invites him as well. She doesn't think the boy will come up, but hey no harm in trying right?
She moves among the new dancers, spinning and moving elegantly. Every few moments, she moves close to one of the dancers, and begins dancing with them, spinning them around, before breaking it and moving to another.

Sano sees Rei and returns the wave, but shakes his head at the invitation. He prefers to avoid being in the spotlight. Mitis, however, hops off his head and bounds over to sing alongside Tiki, mewling along to the song.

Clay finally wanders in, looking... well, not actually any more beat-up than he was before, but considerably less chipper. He's had a rough afternoon and is too tired to hang around bugging the healers while they look after his Pokémon and the stripey dog that savaged all of them.
And he really shouldn't be surprised that Tiki and Rei have managed to start a dance party in the dining hall. At least the music is cheerful - he's feeling a little better already.

Tiki and Rei continue the party for almost another hour until it's finally time to bring it on home. The band begins the finale with a soft, beautiful intro to give off a feeling of floating in space. Tiki then smiles at Rei, and begins to sing the final song.With Star, and Mitis, on her shoulders, Tiki sways from side to side, slowly waving her arms back and forth with the crowd. After the final notes from Tiki, and the band end, a roaring applause from the mass of people packed into the mess hall erupts loudly as people clap, cheer, and whistle. They all take their bows, shake hands with some new adoring fans, and Tiki takes Rei's hand and leads her out of the hall to meet up with Clay, and Sano, to finally chat as a group once again in a more quite setting. Tiki hops, and runs around like a mad person full of energy. "Guysguysguys!! You made it! What did you think!? Pretty awesome huh!? I had no idea other there were so many talented musicians in the guild! We defiantly gotta do that again! I can't remember the time I had so much fun! Star you were amazing! *smooch* And Mitis, you too! *smooch* It was fantastic! OH! REI!" Tiki takes a big breath, wraps her arms around Rei, and even picks her up a litlle in a big, loving hug. "You! Are! Incredible! The way you move! The feeling you convey! It's all!....All....*pant pant pant*" Tiki breaths hard from excitement, and just leans on Rei to keep standing. "You're...the...best...Rei..." |

Rei decides it's best to let Tiki have the stage on this final song. She's done a good job and lets her have the attention of the crowd. And as it ends, Rei is once again dragged against her will (Not like she fights it, though). Shinpuru follows in a bit of a huff, waiting for the order from Rei to take Tiki down for laying hands on her. She waves to Sano and Clay and giggles as Tiki loses her mind a little. Especially when she tries to pick her up in a hug.
When Tiki finally runs out of energy, Rei interjects.
"Oh please Tiki. What's a dance without a song behind it. You have beautiful voice. You, and your pokemon, should cherish your skills. And I believe that I even saw Mitis joining along, if my eyes were correct."
Rei puts an arm around Tiki to prevent her from falling off and looks to Sano and Clay.
"How did you both fare today? Any new friends to speak of- Clay! You look like you went through something rough!"
She attempts to move over to check Clay herself but with Tiki still leaning on her, those attempts fail. She looks to Sano.
"Sano, you are better at this than I could ever be. Please check Clay for injuries, if you would be so kind."

Sano applauds again, smiling at the reunion of the group. Tiki has turned out to be an excellent source of impetus for the mood of the party. Positivity has been a rare resource since the group lost the girl, so Sano is delighted. "That was lovely! You all did amazing, I had no idea you were so talented!" He picks up the slightly damper Skitty and returns her to her roost on his head, while Hanko scrutinizes the party from Sano's shoulder. "Mother Mew, Clay, didn't you say you were going to get yourself checked up today? Some of your wounds have reopened. Let's get you checked out."First Aid Expertise use on Clay (heal all HP and 1 injury) |

Tiki, with enough energy reserves to start handing out hugs to her friends, gives one to Sano real quick. "Awww Thank you, Sa-" She then stops, and looks at the brown ball of fluff on his shoulder. She then gasps loudly, picks up Star, and brings her face to face with the VERY similar pokemon. "LOOK, STAR!!! IT'S A LIL BRUDDAH!!!" Tiki's eyes sparkle as Star sniff the other Eevee, tilts her head, and wags her tail.

"I'm fine, Sano, honestly." Clay tries to wave him off, but he has to admit to feeling much better after Sano's seen to him. "It'll heal sooner or later, I'm more worried about my Pokémon. There was this little dog thing that took all three of them down. Now I know why they use 'em as guard dogs. I caught it, though! Took all my Pokéballs to do it."
He can't help grinning as Tiki freaks out over Sano's new Pokémon. "We're gonna have a pack of these guys by the time we're done, aren't we?" The question is which one is more adorable - the Eevee making friends or Tiki suffering cuteness proximity.

Rei keeps a concerned face up (Straight AT Clay) until Sano has done his work, and Clay seems to be already on the mend. Rei keeps the face for a moment longer before returning to her default warm smile.
"Thank you Sano. It is reassuring to know we have someone with your medical talents among our group. And I also thank you for your compliment on our performance, it's appreciated. All credit should go to Tiki, however."
She looks to Tiki currently in adorable mode.
"I mean they 'are' cute, I would not mind having one as a companion myself. But we'll have to see if one will be willing to join me like the two others I got today."

Tiki runs her fingers through Hanko's fluffiness, and nuzzles Star's as well. "That'd be cool. No one can resist the fluff! *YYyyaaawwwnnn...* Oh man...I'm really tired. I guess we are ready for bed." She pats Hanko's head, and waves Star's paw. "Good night, Bruddah. Good night everyone." She yawns again, and reaches for Rei's hand, but stops. "Oh yeah. You don't have to sleep with me anymore. Aww...You got your own room, right?"

"Oh yes... I think. I didn't think to ask Miss Shields if the Steel Branch had dorms. They were the smallest branch, they said, but I believe they should."
