Bodies were oiled and dyed. The drummers were testing their drums, the strong men stretching their limbs and the acrobats, jugglers and buffoons all readying themselves for their part in the production.The director for this production was Ramoro a tall man in his late thirties who had been a Karioi for almost twenty years. "Where are those flappers!" he flustered through the company for even though the Flappers were the lowest members of the company still Ramoro knew that even his backing chorus was essential for the 'spectacle'. "The new girl we took on yesterday?" he glared down at the new taipo buffon they had just taken on because the companies leader found it amusing "she isn't here now! Fools all of you! No matter you will need to do her part as wel as your own!" and so the show began...And thus The Festivities are a bright and rollicking change to the drama of the day as the Karioi come to the form with a spectacle of drums, dancing, singing and acrobatics as they retell the legends of the settling of Hawaikiraro - the deeds of Maui, the passion of Nonu long teeth, the journey from the West and right down to Makea Takanui himself. <img src="http://www.impactworldtour.com/images/ib3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Through the night torches blaze, food is spread out on long communal mats available for any who wish to find a seat along its length and help themselves to the feast of fish, fruit, roast pig, turtle and of course the ubiquitous kumete-bowls full of kava. The Karioi dances whip themselves into a frenzy and not a few passionate couplings occur amongst the crowd.It is long into the night by the time the village is quite and those that turned in early can sleep entirely undisturbed.Nonetheless iIt is before dawn that you are awoken and summoned to <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=67034" target="_blank">the Sacred Malae</a> (ooc next thread)</blockquote>
