Angel Vs Changeling & the Macarena…all to win a book.
So, er, Jill is TOTALLY prepared for her blogging day. Again. I swear, I need to tattoo on my forehead that THURSDAY MEANS I NEED TO BRING MY A-GAME.
While I wait to schedule my tattoo appointment, I thought I’d throw in another contest for one of my fellow Odd Shots peeps.
Let’s talk about…Guild Hunters versus Psy/Changeling. Both badass. Both sexy. Both a little bit…wild.
Let’s say there’s a hypothetical dance off. I know, I know. Just hear me out. On one side is Elena, Raphael and those other crazy angels from the Guild Hunters series. On the other side… Lucas, Sascha, Riley, and all the others in the Psy Changeling world.
You get to pick ONE for each team. You get to pick one dance.You tell me…who would win, what would they dance, and why?
Creativity counts! The most creatively hilarious answer will win their choice of Nalini’s backlist (either Psy or Changeling) shipped via Book Depository (international is A-OK). I’ll also draw a 2nd name randomly, so you have 2 chances to win.
The deadline for this contest is NEXT THURSDAY (3/18/2010), 12:01 AM.
Pick one dance…. well, about all the man will dance with me is a 2-stepping one… them aggie boys
… Hey, they did a couple of square dances at our wedding… did it for everyone in the group… was a blast.
So… 2 stepping it is… of course the Changlings will let loose the most and have the most fun at it.
But then again I’m biased… I prefer that series over the Angel’s.
Keep in mind I have never read anything by Nalini…but here goes:
I’d pick Elena and Lucas…because they are the first names you list.
Dance the Lambada! I am guessing the hip action a changeling could produce (they sound very flexible) would be insane. All that pelvic thrusting and gyration…pure hotness!
My dancer would be Vaughn , mainly because I want to see Vaughn move his hips (and anything else he’s willing to move for me). Sorry, oceans of drool here just thinking about it and people in the office are giving me “that” look, again.
Anyway back to the dance, they would be dancing to Twist and Shout by the Beatles. Vaughn would be twisting the night away. There would be much moving and shaking and a good time would be had by all. Amen!
I’m sure someone would dance for the Angel team, but with Vaughn on the dance floor, who cares who it is?
Aight, so here’s how it’s goin down: We get Lucas, cause you know that boy is a closet dance FREAK, and we get Bluebell cause you know that boy is just a FREAK all around.
The dance is def break dancing. Now, you might thing Lucas has the advantage, what with the no wings to get in the way. And he does busta fine move, but WAIT, Angel boy dazzles everyone with his fabulous aerial break dancing/angel dusting badassness.
When the angel dust clears, who is crowned the winner? Well, it’s kind of a moot point cause all the ladies be ded now from the killer hawtness that was just too much for their lil mortal selves to handle.
The End.
Haha, it’s gotta be Raphael with the Hokey-Pokey. He’d have a huge advantage:
“Put your left wing in, put your left wing out, put your left wing in, and shake it all about.”
=D
(But seriously, can you imagine any of the angels or changelings doing the hokey-pokey? Hi-larious.)
Or the chicken dance.
hahahaha, too true, too true.
Definitely Vaughn and Raphael doing the Swim. Because, you know, those two are just a teeny bit psychotic, it would just be awesome. Personally, I think Raphael would win. Because he’d kill you if he didn’t.
On the left side of the room, representing the Psy/Changeling universe, we have Lucas Hunter, and on the right side, representing the Guild Hunter universe, we have Illium Bluebell (I’d rather see Raphael as their representative but sadly, he’s much too conscious of his dignity to participate himself), facing off in the Nalini Singh annual step show! What better way for these alpha males to compete than with stepping, which uses the entire body and requires stamina and precise timing (and a healthy dose of aggression and pride). With their friends, teammates, and pack cheering from the sidelines, these boys are on fire, mixing gymnastics and hip hop and hand claps, and taking step rhythms to a new level. Both have impeccable timing and impressive athletic ability, each daring the other to top his performance as they step to the beat of Walk it Out by DJ Unk. Lucas performs a complicated pattern, clapping his hands, and grooving in a tight circle. Bluebell responds by drawing his sword and incorporating the blade into the dance, echoing Lucas’ moves. Not to be outdone, Lucas puts on a blindfold and adds a few backflips, somehow keeping to the beat while adding to the complexity of his claps and stomps. But Bluebell’s not done! He starts flipping as well and suddenly he’s stomping in mid-air! The audience goes wild! And it’s Bluebell for the win! Tune in next time to see the Psy/Changelings and Guild Hunters battle it out. Team step competition, whoo!
Angel: Raphael, because he’s serious and and sexy and the most powerful angel we’ve met (don’t tell the rest of the Cadre I said that).
Changeling: Hawke, because he’s serious and sexy and the most powerful changeling we’ve met (don’t tell Lucas I said that).
Dance: The TIME WARP from ROCKY HORROR!!!! Jump to the left, step to the right, hands on hips, knees in tight, PELVIC THRUST!!!
Can you picture it? I can!
Jill, you are so in trouble.
A crowded club, Dev and Ransom are there..and the music is pumping. Suddenly someone bumps Katya. And Dev gets irritated…(understatement award of the year). Ransom bored out of his mind decides “Hey…this looks like fun and smashes into the man.” And with the music slamming the two men crash into one another, letting the idiot who started the whole thing escape since Ransom will not keep Dev from pursuing. The dance is violent and physical, almost a fight as the two men are pitted against one another. Dev trying to catch the idiot, and Ransom just getting in his way because life should not be boring. ((Music choice Dead Pools: let the bodies hit the floor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO_QntXc-c4 ))
Dorian, Mercy, Talin, Indigo and, oddly enough, Riley (cause that dude got moves) are up for the Changling side, while on the angel side we have the usual suspects of Elena, Bluebell and Sara, and their secret weapon, Dimitri. The dance off starts when they all run out on to the dancefloor to dance to The land of a thousand dances, (cause they know ALL the moves)which then moves on to The Locomotion and Hit me baby one more time, but eventually it’s the Changling side that wins when Adam and the Ants start Belting out Prince Charming, and with the true grace of people who have danced this song A LOT, the changlings start doing the dance from the video together in perfect sync,with Facepaint, feathers and all, leaving the angel side in their dust!!!
Very hard question. The only things I’m sure about is that it would end in chaos.
Police officer to strip bar owner: “Can you tell us what happened, sir?”
“Well, it started harmless enough. Those folks wanted to rent the place for a night for a dance off. I agreed, I mean, with that amount of money it didn’t take long to decide.
And then I open the doors, and in they come. Angels, vamps, changelings, psys and some humans. Okay, weird crowd, but they were pretty relaxed. So still no problems.
And then they started the dance off at the stripper poles. I think it was Elena and Sara who started it, but Sienna and Mercy were close behind. They asked me to play judge, and I should have known right then and there that it would end in a catastrophe.
Because after the first few tunes of “Crazy Frog”, Raphael thinks Hawke leering at his mate, and hits him, Hawke hits back, Dmitri helps his Sire, the wolfs side with Hawke and it went downhill from there. As you see, the place is a total wreck. Only the stripper poles survived the havoc. But you know what’s worse? I’ve got no idea who won!”
Sascha and the chicken dance. No question.
She’s a Psy dressed up in a business suit as if she’s totally ready to go dance something safe like the tango. And then Lucas (her oh so amazing partner) swoops in and grabs her arm to make an awkward chicken wing.
Then Sascha realizes she has to wiggle in her outfit.
She flaps out of the room.
Judd vs. Raphael. The chicken dance. No winner declared because their posses are too busy rolling on the ground, laughing their asses off.
Those two got elected because their friends wanted to see them lose some of their dignity…
The chicken dance, because it’s the most ridiculous thing anyone has ever dreamed up.
ETA: Well, since I just read through the earlier comments and discovered that the chicken dance has been done already, I shall have to add a bonus round of–wait for it, wait for it…TA DAH!–the Ally McBeal baby dance. “Ugachaka-uga-uga, ugachaka-uga-uga…” Anyone capable of standing on their two feet after watching the Judd & Raphael Show may enter to score some points for their team. I’ll even throw in an educational video…

Dancers:
Raphael the Archangel v Sascha the Psy
Dance: Fist-pumping and breaking like the cast of Jersey Shore,yo! lol
Why?: because the idea of these two reserved peeps partying like “The Situation” and “Snook” is hilarious
Raphael vs Vaughn – Because they are both hot & possessive…and they would have to dance the Paso Doble…with each other and fight to see who leads the dance…cuz I would pay to see that…
I’m imagining all the women (and fabulous angels) dragging their male counterparts and associates out to a club to “release tension.” Sienna, being Sienna, starts dancing with Elena–hey, that girl can move. The men are suitably appreciative, until they realize that the men brooding on the other side of the room are also eying their females. Hawke deems it is his responsibility to dive in and protect Sienna from lecherous angels, pretty much at the same time Raphael does, and hell breaks loose as their respective posses take offense. The women leave in a disgusted huff and hop to another club to dance together in relative peace. The end.
Okay, so it’s more realistic than hilarious. Sorry?
You can imagine that the males on both sides settled it with a dance-off! With Max the winner, because he’s too smart to get involved in this shit.
Raphael pre-Elena and Judd Lauren pre-Brenna because before girls they were both cold, cruel, powerful (not to say they aren’t powerful now), and mean. They would break dance ABDC style because with their stoic, cold, unemotional demeanors, it would either be really funny or epic. You can’t lose with this.
I’d also like to see a break dance competition between Illium and Andrew because Illium held on to his humanity best and both he and Andrew seem like they have a great sense of humor. I think they’d be awesome.
[...] (btw, if you haven’t entered my contest, it ends Thursday. you can win free books!) [...]
I would choose Julian and Roman for the Psy-Changling series [they're twins, surely they're a single package at their age], and pair them up with Sara’s daughter. They do a little kiddy dance which consists of the three of them joining hands and running around in circles while giggling.
And as for the winner? The three of them will be so tired after they’re done that it won’t matter. Especially since their respective sides will dote on them afterwards for being cute.
