Whether or not those last two dialogues from the Strange Occurrences Event continue, I’m finally ending the event itself cause that was ages ago and i forgot. With the continued choice in the polls being to seek out the unexplained noises in the Swap-variant worlds, another AU has broken through the Void! My take on Danceswap is now available!
Introducing:
Jive- Danceswap’s Papyrus! Despite his seemingly lax personality, he’s often the life of the party! You’d never guess how energetic he really is unless you met him on the dance floor. Jive is at his most confident in a crowd and is concerned with very few things in life, which occasionally causes conflict. “it’s not a big deal, y’know?”
His magic is a vibrant coral color and despite his style of dance, he wouldn’t be caught dead wearing anything one might actually perform jive in. Catch him at the club in sweatpants, jiving it up with anyone and everyone.
He’s currently technically unemployed, but he’s often “gifted” money to make events more exciting. This guy brings an energy that you just can’t get anywhere else!
Cadenza- Danceswap’s Sans! The complete opposite of his party-animal brother, Cadenza is a more refined dance style. He’s a renowned opera singer, and very occasionally dances ballet or ballroom styles. You may occasionally find him in group settings as well, but they’re generally the kind you spend quietly sipping champagne and pretending you’re happy with the tiny portion sizes. Where Jive has best friends in 24-hour diners, Cadenza has vague acquaintances in houses that are over 5000 sqft with 2 pools.
His magic is a true golden color, dazzlingly bright under stage lights. He dresses to fit in with his peers, although if he’s being entirely honest, most of his “brand name” clothes are dupes. He’s not that ridiculous. Although his fondness for gold jewelry is very real.
Dal Segno (Often goes by D.S. or just Segno. Jive jokingly calls him “Tapster”)- Danceswap Gaster! He’s often a middle ground between his brothers, as his preferred style of dance is tap. Things were.. tense between the two when Dal disappeared and it took awhile to find a new normal.
Dal’s been in his fair share of high-end, choreographed productions, but he’s not above winging it too. He can play the part of the royal advisor, or the reserved, mysterious stranger at a soirée (yes that’s how that word is spelled) but he’d rather throw caution to the wind and just live however he wants to. Alas, that’s not how his life played out. So, he follows the steps he’s given and he’s never off-beat.
His magic is a steely grey and he’s often forced to wear stuffy dress-code-required suits or the like. No lab coats, thankfully.
And finally-
Silk- Danceswap Grillby! You could likely guess by the name, but his style of performance revolves are aerial silks. His is a solo performance, with focus on grace and control. A staple in his acts is performing on silks while they burn, which makes each set a little different as they break or fray at different intervals.
Given the nature of his dancing, he’s not the best at other styles of dance. Silk doesn’t have that natural skill for fancy footwork like so many dance-variant monsters, however he does have crazy upper body strength. If a friend needs to practice lifts, he’s up for the task.
His flames are faintly blue-tinted at the edges, but nearly white everywhere else. Despite this, the light he gives off is quite dim compared to most fire elementals. It gives his stage an ethereal quality.
