we're lost 'til we learn how to ask, so please, please just ask (part I)

This one sort of has to be not anonymous, considering it's a capture from Aby's Wo Men Dai:

[13:43] Aby Tî Qí (aby.kiyori): I want to welcome Lady Varahi, Khaing Queen of the Xoco and all my guests for this to me so very important evening
[13:43] Aby Tî Qí (aby.kiyori): thank you so much for coming tonight
[13:43] Varahi Lusch nods at Priestess Hai Wan
[13:44] Varahi Lusch: beams with affection at Companion Ti Qi

This will likely need to be separated into two parts, but this part, at least, will feature the dancing while the tale was being told.

[13:44] Aby Tî Qí (aby.kiyori): we will show you a story like a chinese Valentines Day, Cowherd and Weaver Girl
[13:44] Sammy (samantha1492) Watches the performance mesmerized by the performers, her eyes fixed on her friend as she dances so beautifully


And they began the dance onstage, and retold the tale, which technically happened in voice, so not captured here.

[13:44] Aby Tî Qí (aby.kiyori): Zack will tell us the tale and Gos and me dance it
[13:44] Khaing Zar (raigann): waves to Frugal, Sammy and Zeta
[13:44] Aqua Aura Firecaster - Hai Wan (nerthuschild): Grace and beauty is so much needed in these times
[13:45] Aqua Aura Firecaster - Hai Wan (nerthuschild) sighs happily
[13:45] Varahi Lusch: woot!
[13:45] Lightweaver Balan: or any times

It was a fan dance, but as I am learning, there are as many varieties (on the grid and off) as there are places where they were danced.

[13:45] Sammy (samantha1492): Waves back to Chieftess Khaing, respectfully of course
[13:45] Tóng Tǐ 统体 (goswamitulsidas) sways his fans loosing his feet in dance to the music
[13:45] Swoan Dipoa (dipoa) looks at the dance, enjoying the company
[13:46] Lilith (silviagarcia): smile

They spun and twirled, fans moving in unison, steps precise.

[13:46] Zack Alexander Starbinder (bluedragoneye88) folds his fans and gets to the koto
[13:46] Aqua Aura Firecaster - Hai Wan (nerthuschild) applauds!
[13:46] Sammy (samantha1492): Claps

The backdrop was beautiful, glittery purple cut-outs of the star-crossed lovers.

[13:46] Lexus Melodie: ★ (`'·.¸(`'·.¸ * ¸.·'´)¸.·'´) ★ A*P*P*L*A*U*S*E !!! ★ (`'·.¸(`'·.¸ * ¸.·'´)¸.·'´) ★
[13:46] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr) applauds!
[13:46] Kaneha 金葉 (kaneha) applauds

And up again, moving as a unit, the music accompaniment plantive and beautiful.

[13:46] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): hurrah!
[13:46] Zeta (zeta.blackheart): (¸¸.•´ ¯¨•.¸¸ Applause ¸¸.•¨¯`•.¸¸)
[13:46] Varahi Lusch: 干杯 Gān bēi! (Cheers!)

Tong, playing the cowherd, pulled off to one side of the stage, and Zack knelt by the koto, beginning his telling of the tale.

[13:46] Lister McMillan: ~!~!~!~! Applause !~!~!~!~
[13:46] Elizabeth (ellybot) claps
[13:46] Deebs (deebrane.string): Heyyyyyyyaaaaaahhhh!

And then Aby rose into the air on rose-sunset wings...

[13:46] ڰۣۜღ αsɦ ڰۣۜღ (genieluvs) wolf whistles!
[13:46] Saazerac (saazerac.atheria) claps wildly

And the rest will be continued in part the second.
