Mii? Kouhaku Uta Gassen? My best friend and I watch that on television back home. Good luck on finding singers. There's many talented people here, I'm sure.

A ritual dance.

...Ritual? oh god is this the cute little girl version of nekozawasenpai? dancing for bereznoff?!

[princessofmoe]

Mi- mii. For the Cotton Drifting Festival...

[one_is_hikaru]

What is that?

[princessofmoe]

A festival held at my family's shrine on a Sunday in June. It's to honor our village's God.

Oh, I think I get the picture. So traditional Japanese dancing.

[princessofmoe]

The Cotton Drifting dance ceremony is different from other dances.

[one_is_hikaru]

What's it like, then? Why is it so different?

[princessofmoe]

It's a ceremony where we hold a service and sacrifice an old futon. The priestess dances with an ornate plow and sacrifices the futon by tearing it open. After that, we remove the cotton and send it drifting down the river.

Mii. I have to practice very hard with a mochi hammer before I get to use the plow. It's heavy and makes my arms feel owchie-owchie.

Wh-what

Ah-- I see. How interesting!

[princessofmoe]

Mii? Do you really think so, sir? They say the cotton absorbs your sins. The human body gets very filthy with sins.

[one_is_hikaru]

I've never heard that before. It's an interesting concept, though - so many clothes are made from cotton. You'd think we'd all be very clean.
