(Companion to Sun Dance. Sort of.)

Rain Dance 

There was music in the air, a singing rhythm, a rapid, pitter-patter beat.

Light moved through the rain, laughing as it bounced from drop to sparking drop, a glowing web of mist.

Hands flashed inside the web, bodies, shining as they swayed, fingers tapping an echo of the song onto gleaming stomachs.Bare feet danced through puddles, striking the shimmering pools and shattering the light into a thousand exuberant pieces.

The world whirled and shimmied, vibrant with joy, fragmented and fiercely wonderous, and at its center were the dancers, dark and joyous, the rain like tears from dreaming eyes.

Hands and feet, laughter and singing, the motion and sound to shatter the light into rain, and move all the world to tears.

Rain dance.

We played these in the tent all week, with the wind howling around us, with a notebook and pencil and lots of inappropriate giggling while our parents looked on in consternation. We made them join in eventually, and wow did that get some interesting results! Tinkerbell/Nanny Ogg, anyone? How about Bladerunner in Sherwood forest? Vader in a closet with Navaare from Ladyhawke? Jessica Rabbit with Mace from Strange Days? Fun times! And yes, we are a family of utter, utter geeks.

Anyway. Pick 12 characters, and have a gander at the questions.

1 - Illya Kuryakin (Man From UNCLE)
2 - Radek Zelenka (SGA)
3 - Black Sheba (The Pyrates)
4 - Bishop (Aliens)
5 - Faceman (A-Team)
6 - John Marcone (Dresden Files)
7 - Morticia Addams (Addams Family)
8 - J'onn J'onzz (DC)
9 - Nyota Uhura (Trek TOS)
10 - David Banner (Incredible Hulk)
11 - Bartimaeus (Bartimaeus Trilogy)
12 - Xena (Xena - Warrior Princess)
