After the meal, the grown-ups summoned the village with the bell, and all the Youthies congregated around a shallow and wide pit filled with wet kelp. All the crockos had retired to bask in the sunlight, being the lazy creatures they are, except for Go-Getty who followed you. She sat behind you, peaking between your legs, crockos were never really interested in kelp, but she stuck around out of curiosity and loneliness. Before you were a few aunties and uncles lined up in the pit, lightly dressed and wearing hobbed sandals.
<span class="mu-b">"Good afternoon, Little Ones!"</span> said an auntie.
[bold]"Good afternoon, auntie!!"[/bold] you all said back.
<span class="mu-b">"I hope you all had fun swimming with the crockos, but now it's time to let them rest! For the Soap-Making Festival, we have to mash the kelp into a paste. Some of you might have seen your baba or pappy use a mortar and pestle, but we'll dance and mash the kelp with our feet instead!"</span>
The aunties and uncles demonstrated a dance, their feet sliding and picking up to grind and tear kelp with their sandals as musicians played. They would lock hands and take turns to twirl around each other, one partner staying in place to help spin the other around them. After a bout they switched partners during a beat in the song, stepping to the side and making their way across the pit.
<span class="mu-b">"Doesn't this look fun, Little Ones? We hope you'll meet some friends while dancing, but if you get too tired you could always step aside and have a rest!"</span>
It certainly looked fun, but how was Go-Getty supposed to dance with her non-Ling body? Maybe you can dance alone with her, or let her hug your feet as you dance...
>Join the dance and keep Go-Getty by your feet to help you mash kelp and hope you get to lock hands with Bubu.
>Step aside and dance with Go-Getty by yourself.
>Make up a new dance for Go-Getty and Moochy.
