She went over and opened the cupboard against the wall, a WHOLE lot of robes and shirts and pants and shoes and gloves and all sorts of clothing were within. "Like clothing!"
So now she'd demonstrate, but first; "The better you get at it,the more items you can move at once, together, but when you first try, just choose one item and aim to get it to DANCE!"
She herself stepped away from the closet ready to demonstrate.
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Shuffle!pointinggggg!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
...As she began, a shirt 'peeked' out of the closet and was soon tucking itself into a pair of pants, which then 'stepped' out of the closet...
Tap!Ball. Swwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
Jazz hands!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
...It held out a sleeve, and a pair of long ladies gloves took hold of it and followed, along with a lovely flowing dress. They were joined by matching shoes, and the two outfits marched out to a bare patch of floor...
Step and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiide!
Pivot and power!fist!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
....and began to waltz around to the rhythm of Cela's spell.
She went through the steps and the incantation a few more times, expression intent on the 'dancers' while she smiled happily at their antics. They continued to dance, even when she stopped.
"They'll keep going for a little while!"
She faced the students again, bright smile in place while the dancing outfits waltzed behind her. "Okay if you're ready to try, go grab a piece of clothing from the closet! Shoes, a shirt, robes, anything! Just stick with one item though!" She'd been practicing a LOT longer after all.
"If you still need help on the steps, come over here and we'll work on those!" She shifted to one side and waved encouragingly at Elliot, and at Harlow, if she didn't feel ready.
"Lets get started! Everyone take an item of clothing from the closet, return to your spot, and put it down in front of you, so you can focus on making it moooooove while you do the spell steps and say the incantation!"
She went ahead and put on some music too, not loud enough to drown out the spells but so that there'd be something rhythmic for the clothing to continue to move to.
ooc: If anyone has questions they can ask them, and if they need help come over to Cela and she'll help out, but otherwise this is the fun part woohoo.
Have your charrie go to the closet and choose one item of clothing, and then they can try out the spell steps and the incantation to get it moving.
It mayyy take up to three repeats of the steps to get it moving completely, and I'll leave it up to you to judge how well your items dance (and what kind of dancing is up to you as well if you want your shoes to bust a move on their own thats fine by us)
However, everyone that completes the steps and says the incantation should manage to get their item moving!
There is no minimum or maximum number of posts, just have fun and follow instructions and do as much or as little as you think your charrie is capable of.
The whole time Cela was talking, Sierra just kept wondering why they'd need this spell. What would you want your clothes to dance for? She guessed this was just the basics, though, and once a person learned this, there was probably a whole lot more they could do. For now, though, clothes it was.
She stepped toward the closet and randomly reached for a pair of pants. She carried the pants to an area that wasn't already crowded with other kids and placed them on the floor. She stared down at them, trying to focusing on them standing up, spinning around, and doing high kicks. Crazy, but true.
...and then Sierra began to dance. *hop, clap, wiiiiiigle, kick, shuffle, POINT* "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!" *tap, ball, swiiiiing, JAZZ HANDS* "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!" *step, slide, pivot, power!fist* "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
At first, nothing seemed to happen, but then her pants began to do a few short steps f the same type wave she'd seen the fans do at Quidditch matches. Granted, the pants stayed on the floor and didn't stay moving for long, but it was a start, at least.
