Claws on her hips, Elaria was waiting impatiently for the curling match to begin. She had already dusted and fluffed and cursed at her broom, which she had carefully propped against the rink. There was nothing for her to hyperfixate on at the moment, so her mind wandered to when she was a wee hatchling, watching her parents gliding smoothly across the ice and helping their team to victory. After the match, small Elaria had chirped innocently, "dada! that ball isn't round!!" to which her father laughed and explained that it was a puck, P-U-C-K, that rhymed with yuck --- a weighted disk --- that was sliding into the circles.
Nearly 200 years and countless practice sessions later, she was now the one wielding the broom on the ice rink. Feisty and chaotic as she had always been, Elaria took on the Sornieth curling world with bombast and vigor, bringing the energy, fire, and victory to her team each time. But will it be enough this time, on the biggest stage of her thus still young career?

The only reasonable dragon on the team was Noir
"The ball is slowing! swipe the floor with the broom, quicker!"
"It's not a [color=teal][b]ball[/b][/color], it's a disc!"
"Molok, Mikkas, that's called a stone and [b]NO, STOP SWIPPING, THE STONE IS MOVING TOO F-[/b]"
His voice was cut by the clacking of granite rocks. What happened after that was...well.
"Noir, look!"
One rival blue stone moved out of the circle, while the racing red stone clung to the edge of the target. The crowd exclaimed in awe.
"Ok Molok, you're safe this time, but for the tenth time in this match: It's called a [i]Stone[/i]!"

Parsec gripped the broom tightly, waiting for Redshift to line up her shot. The Pearlcatcher gripped the ice with her back talons, eyes narrowed looking towards the target ahead. This first shot could make or break the game. Lining it up as well as she could, she pushed herself forward, letting go of the stone as it crossed the line.
Parsec jumped into action, frantically sweeping ahead of the stone to lead it to the house. A [b]ball[/b] of anxiety bounced around in his gut as the stone slid ever closer to where it should be. The fibers of the broom swept and swept and swept as the stone curled right into the ring.
The two mates looked at each other as the stone fell to a stop just touching the inner ring, celebrating internally. Now they just have to do that 7 more times.

Of all the member of the clan, Wavepool had the most affinity for dancing, so he decided to enter the figure skating competition. Although he was very experienced at water and sky dancing, he had never danced on ice before. However, skydancers were renowned for their graceful movements and once he was on the ice, Wavepool quickly adjusted to gliding along. He had not planned a routine; he simply moved, flowing from one movement to the next as elegantly as if he had been preparing for each move since birth. When he was done, he skated off the ice to where his mate, Adina, was waiting. Adina loved dressing up and was already wearing her outfit for the Masquerade Ball even though it was only late morning. She was either cheering or attempting to compliment him in coatl as he approached. "You were amazing!" she exclaimed. "Thanks," Wavepool replied, feeling warm from the waves of supportive excitement radiating from her.

Skydancers are known and even named for their graceful movements, and Celine was absolutely confident that would easily translate to the ice, although her friends waiting anxiously nearby to watch her performance weren't nearly as certain. Ignoring their worried glances, Celine laced up her skates. "I like your costume!" yelled a passing Tundra. "It's not a costume!" Celine huffed, "It's a top of the line performance dress! Doesn't anyone here know anything about the performing arts?" Just then Celine heard her name called over the loud speaker. Still feeling a bit indignant, she took the ice for her chance to wow the world.

Beloved is readying himself for the curling competition. He is very good at sweeping the ice ahead of the stone. He has not yet noticed that several of the clan's cats seem to have come along for the ride. Perhaps they'll go join in on the treasure hunt at the Catsquerade Ball before they get him in trouble for cheating.

Lumin looked to the road ahead, the snow trail of skis winding in the distance. He spread his wings to a nice width to get the best speed... well, at least that's what he believed. He shifted his feet in his skis, preparing for the race to start.

Touching the stone with the tip of her nose, Vera stared at the middle of the target. Pinpointing exactly where it would land was tricky, but Vera was confident - it was just like kicking a [color=f07575]ball,[/color] right?
Well, it was heavier and... ok, it was nothing like a ball. But hey, what could go wrong?[/center]

"I am gonna have a [b]ball[/b] with this!" Compared to the more focused attitudes of her fellow competitors, Miriam seemed about ready to burst with frenetic energy, curling herself into loops more often than usual as she waited her chance to tackle the slopes. While she had never competed in such a prestigious event before (one could argue that she wasn't even a fan of the cold to begin with), the Spiral female had speed on her side if nothing else, and she liked to think that that more than made up for whatever she lacked in skill. Lowering the ski goggles across her face as she stepped up to the starting line, Miriam let out a loud and unprofessional whoop, startling everyone near her and causing her to be the subject of quite a few dirty looks. "Can't wait to wipe the floor with these wimps." And judging by the mischievous smile on her face, she wasn't entirely joking with said claim.

While he was much more equipped to handle competitions that had to do with his combat ability rather than any physical strengths, Gomrin had studied all that he could on the art of curling, noting that it involved a certain level of grace all on its own. That much, he could certainly adapt to. And with a rudimentary knowledge of the game's rules and a good team on his side, there was surely nothing that could go wrong- given that they worked together seamlessly, at least. [/center]

When it came to figure skating, Rosario and Dante were the obvious choices. They were perfect for one another, and they had a sort of obvious chemistry that made the performers around them gush, trying hard to suppress their smiles.
Their romance had never been a secret, but it was a bit jarring for them both to have been selected to perform together. Dante’s tent at the Carnival had always been relatively secluded, and hidden to most visitors. Rosario didn’t even have a tent, and only a select lucky few ever could catch a glimpse of her. They weren’t exactly used to being in the public eye.
Neither were entirely prepared for the event, but they figured they could manage. When the music begun, an appropriate mixture of eerie strings and bright woodwinds, the entire stadium just sort of fell away around them. They knew there were spectators, yes, but suddenly none of it mattered. All they saw were one another, as they twirled and skated, dancing in an elaborate [b]ball[/b] made up of just two dragons.

She felt as though her career was over. She wanted to curl up in a ball and cry. Something went wrong during Oyasumi's routine and her lace came undone whilst she was skating, leading her to fall flat in her face. The dragons running the games were kind enough to let her have another chance, but her confidence (and her face) was bruised from the fall.
She sat with her skating partner [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=385134&tab=dragon&did=45015290]Maryam[/url], who comforted her and tried to boost her confidence. He reminded her that if she wasn't a good skater, he wouldn't have chosen her to skate with. The pair got called to retry, and with the help of Maryam using his cloak to help wipe away her tears, Oyasumi felt she was ready to show everyone what she can really do.
