Group RP Pokemon: The Bonds of the Stage

And here comes the exciting part. As much as Nora enjoyed it, she still had Ava on her lap. The Eevee herself? She watched the scene with her eyes practically twinkling.

Spoiler: Ava's expression

 

The duel was kicking into motion - and Arin too was pumped, listening intently with a focus in their eyes. Perhaps it was a good thing the Falinks weren't out - they would barely be able to contain their own excitement. And that would be followed by several hours of roughhousing.

 

Brock's acting with the bow and arrows was so good that Nora had to remind herself that it was stage archery. The sport version was way less elaborate than that. Well, at least that was what one of her mom's colleagues had said after one of the Cinnabar Theater's performance involving stage archery.

 

Arin too applauded each shot - they themself would have been far too terrified of the prospect of firing a weapon so close to a crowd. Brock had to have a lot of self-confidence to be able to do so.

 

Arin applauded with the rest of the crowd - both for the Mythicals' defeating the demon, Brock's archery performance - and also for the wooden demon. The backstage people and prop carvers must have been hard at work to pull that off!

 

Now that Ava had moved from her lap back to her head, Nora was finally free to stretch her legs. She even gave the performers a standing ovation wanted to give a standing ovation for the show and everyone involved in it. Key word: wanted, because seems like it's not a good time yet.

 

Arin joined in on the applause. The Kantonian storytelling arts were truly something else - they hadn't expected the crew to pull out all the stops with the lighting and even the entire crafted demon!

 

Okay, now was a good time for Nora to give the performers a standing ovation. She normally does it in orchestral shows, but eh. Doing it right here and right now shouldn't hurt, right?

(I've edited my previous post to change the standing ovation's timing.)

 

(I think we should go check something else, see what else the festival has to offer)

 

Now that this particular folktale show had been concluded (there were more but Nora had already left), Nora decided to see what else the festival had offered. She and Ava randomly walked around... until they passed by a classical music performance. Nora stopped to listen a little bit, enough to find out that the performers were playing 5 Pieces for 2 Violins and Piano by Dmitri Shostakovich.

(No, it's not Nora's show. I'm leaving who're doing the recital up to Wave.)

 

(I know. Should've clarified myself in my previous post tbh. And by "the recital", I meant the Shostakovich one.)
