Eruanna sidled back into the ballroom trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. A breath of fresh air had been just what she needed!

She still remembered the stunned looks on the faces of the partygoers as the last notes of Saucepan's song had ended. The meagre ripple of polite applause........Oh well, perhaps Middle Earth just wasn't ready for them yet!

Tilting her chin up and assuming her "party smile", the Elf made her way around the room. She couldn't help but notice the prone figures, some half slumped across various tables. Dwarves, hobbits and elves grinned sleepily as she passed.

Suddenly, she stumbled. Quickly regaining her balance she looked down to see what had so nearly tripped her up........a pair of extremely hairy feet poked out from beneath a richly embroidered tablecloth. One of the feet twitched, then remained still again. The steady droning sound that emanated from under the table, convinced Eruanna that she had not woken the owner of the feet. She decided to continue her circumnavigation of the dance floor.

A few hardy souls were still to be seen, gyrating to the most appalling music that Eruanna had ever heard. A group, arranged in a line, seemed to be attempting some kind of bizzarre ritual mating dance. This entailed their moving in unison, each one copying the gestures and steps of the others.

Saucepan man was nowhere to be seen, but.......Was that a dancing chicken?
