Combat Messages

• Regular message(s):

  <name> does a high kick that's a little too high, revealing things that should never be seen. Fortunately, she's facing him, not you, so he gets the X damage.

<monster> is too entranced (or bored) by the hippo ballet to attack this round.

• After Combat:

<name> does a series of perfect ballet poses. "If only I knew a dark-skinned hippo who could teach me how to combine urban dance with my ballet," she sighs, blinking wistfully.

<name> does a jeté and lands nimbly, but with earth-shaking force. She bows as you applaud, and winks saucily.

<name> does a dozen pirouettes in a row. "It'd be easier to keep my balance if I had some kind of frilly little skirt to wear," she says, and winks mischievously.

• Enthroned in the Crown of Thrones:

  <Name> convinces them to try standing en pointed. They crash to the ground, looking a little the worse for wear.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

  <Name> tips you a wink beneath the Tam O'Shanter.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

  <Name> does a pas de un around the Maypole. Next time, you should join her!

• With wax lips equipped:

  <name> smiles through the wax lips, as the little bird that cleans her teeth tries to figure out how to get into her mouth.

Arena Messages

• When entered in Hide and Seek:

  Hippo ballerinas are dancers, not hiders.

References

• As with the hatchling, the third post-combat message refers to the, uh, firestorm of controversy over the Hippo Ballet To You adventure.
