[The camera turns on with a wobble, showing the empty kitchen of one of the basic apartments. For just a moment, a small white paw reaches over to steady the camera; then it disappears off the side and Ahri twirls into view. She seems to be in much brighter spirits than last month, almost enough to make her sparkle.

Wait. She is sparkling. Literal glittery flecks trail behind her and fade away as she shows off a few dance poses, then leans back, pleased with herself, against the kitchen counter.]

Finally, [she flicks her hair behind her shoulders, ] a reason for me to be here. If you haven’t heard, the locals are hosting a dance competition at the end of the month. That means there’s just enough time for me to give you all a few lessons, if you need them.

[She smiles beatifically.]

Not that you’ll beat me, of course, but I’d be happy to give you a little bit of a boost. It’s only fun if we all join in, after all. So let me know if you’d like a few pointers. I know lots of styles. Ciao!!

Solos count as dances! [Almost a pout - yes, she was planning on doing at least one performance by herself - but then she nods a little.] But the locals did mention they want us to group up. It just depends on how many other talents I can find...

On a planet like this, they're definitely going to be biased towards big groups. It's all about knowing your audience! And our audience wants us to hold hands and swing one another around. So if you're interested in gathering one up to improve everyone's chances, count me in!

[Shamelessly capitalizing on what the natives want to see for a better chance at the prize? Say no more!]
