| BUTA: The Pig |
The happy Pig likes to root about in the soft earth with his pink nose.
Eager, expectant, watchful. |
| The Call: |
"Oink! Oink! How about a bit of juicy swill" |
| The Reply: |
"Here Piggy Wiggy! Lots of lovely warm slops just for you!" |
| The Play: |
Thrust the hips forward and up with short jerky movements while jumping quickly towards your partner. Make low, enticing grunts. If thwarted, jump back and emit a startled squeal. |
| RYU: The Dragon |
The crafty Dragon likes to breathe his fire into the dark jeweled cave.
Ravaging, vengeful, sly. |
| The Call: |
"Where are my precious jewels? My treasures? My trophies? Are they hidden in your dark cave?" |
| The Reply: |
"Come on hot stuff! Careful the iron gates don't snap shut and sever your burning tongue!" |
| The Play: |
With arms outstretched and fingers curled like claws, move forward warily with the knees bent. The hips may be flicked about spasmodically accompanied by the low seductive roar of a raging furnace. |
| SAKANA: The Fish |
The playful Fish likes to wriggle through the weeds and dart into crevices.
Fun-loving, alert, sleek. |
| The Call: |
"Hey little sea anemone, your tiny red tentacles can't catch me!" |
| The Reply: |
"Can't they just! Let's wait and see!" |
| The Play: |
With arms held out from the body to simulate fins, dart enticingly about in front of your partner making cheeky bubble sounds through protruding lips. |
| MIKAKIUNINHIKOUBUTTAI: The UFO |
The flashing lights of the UFO dip and flicker around the nighttime sky.
Mysterious, shiny, exotic. |
| The Call: |
"Where are you little alien? Let me find you with my probe!" |
| The Reply: |
"Come on stranger! Let's just see about you invading me!" |
| The Play: |
Clasp your hands above your head, bounce seductively while bleeping and blinking your eyes and occasionally twirling. |
