Dancing the Night Away

Here it is, the dances of Equinox! Enjoy!

Before you get down with your bad self at the tavern, please keep the following information in mind.

1 - You can create your own dance crazes! This is accomplished by stringing dancing commands together. An example of this would be ".dance 10 4 23 50" If an incorrect number is used it will break the dance sequence and make your character stop their boogie, even if the commands after it are valid dance numbers.

2 - You can lead others in your Cha Cha dance! Or you can join someone else who is dancing! To lead others in a dance, "L" must be placed after your dance command combination. An examples is ".dance 10 4 23 50 L" A cursor will come up. You may then select several people to join your dance. They will be given the choice to accept or decline. When you have invited the people of your choosing, press escape to be rid of the selecting cursor and the dance will begin!

3 - If you must tear yourself off the dance floor but are in the middle of a boogie, use the command ".dance stop"

Good luck with your night on the town!
