That pageant is in less than a week. A thought just occurred to me - what if there's a talent portion? Does that happen in these things? My talent could be a magic act. There'll be a big puff of smoke and I'll disappear, only to be replaced by a wolf on stage. Not really, in case the locals actually notice. I'll think of something.

What else could be in this thing? An interview?

	Is that normal in pageants? I signed up but don't know anything about it. I always have my swords and fighting skills. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm not sure. I've never actually watched one. I think either of those could work as a talent. You could do a demonstration as your performance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That sounds like a good idea. I don't know if they'd approve, but it is my talent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ruby_red_wolf 2024-02-26 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	I think they would. I've been looking at videos of other pageants and one young woman did a rifle twirling demonstration. Demonstrating a sword is along the same lines. Plus, it's Dunwich. The locals don't seem to mind or notice when people carry weapons around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is very true. It is good to know weapons would be allowed. That is, if Alexis agrees that I can do it. Magic sounds interesting for your talent. I do not know much about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, that bit about magic was actually my attempt at a joke. I'm a werewolf. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lexaheda 2024-02-26 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	And werewolves cannot do magic? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ruby_red_wolf 2024-02-26 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	Some werewolves can do magic. Some werewolves can do illusions. I can't do either. My joke was that I'd go up on the stage, turn into a werewolf and the judges, who don't know I'm a werewolf, would think it was magic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lexaheda 2024-02-26 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, I see. Because werewolves aren't normal for most. Clever. That would still be using your own talents, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ruby_red_wolf 2024-02-26 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	I guess so. I don't want to risk outing myself as a were to a room full of locals though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	An interview is usually customary, at least where I come from. Personality and poise matter at least as much as appearance. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ruby_red_wolf 2024-02-12 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	I guess I'll just have to do my best and hope I don't become a meme. Did you see a lot of pageants? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	decorative 2024-02-13 01:04 pm UTC (link)
	A meme? Of a sort, yes. We're big on spectacle in the Capitol. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ruby_red_wolf 2024-02-13 05:01 pm UTC (link)
	They're sort of like internet jokes. They're pictures and videos that people share online and sometimes they add captions to them. I'm guessing you don't mean Washington D.C.? Although they can be big on spectacle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	decorative 2024-02-13 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. I'll have to persuade Alexis to show me. Indeed. Different Capitol. A lot more flamboyant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ruby_red_wolf 2024-02-13 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	I might be able to show you one. It's an older one, the awkward moments seal People gave that same seal other captions too, of different awkward moments. Do you have any Capitol tips on pageants? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	decorative 2024-02-14 05:25 am UTC (link)
	I've never seen a seal before Why is it so cute Wear comfortable shoes, if you can. Break them in before the day, if you can't. If you'll be on camera, more face powder, not less. If you're not, go for a neutral lip and powerful eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent)
