Madness! The intergalactic Dance Battle is taking place on Earth this year. To be more precise: in Hamburg, Germany. And you will have your first big performance on the intergalactic stage there. But then something terrible happens. Now, of all times, your dance partner lets you down. Suddenly you are faced with a human being instead! How humans are supposed to dance with their two arms and legs is a mystery to you. And how are you supposed to communicate with someone who doesn’t know telepathy?

Luckily, your crew supports you as well as they can from a distance and little by little you manage to decipher the large murals all over the city that seem to refer to the competition. If only there weren’t the mysterious events of the last dance battle, which cast an ever-larger shadow ahead and about which your crew somehow doesn’t really want you to know. Is there more to this than you thought? Unfortunately, it’s not just your reputation as a talented New Comer that’s at stake, but the peace of the entire galaxy!

This audio walk written by Storydive’s founder Sophie Burger is a multi player audio walk for two or more players. The first thing to do is find a companion! You won’t be listening to the same story, you’ll be taking on different roles. Before you start, make sure you have chosen different walks: who plays Player A, who Player B? During the walk you will stay together most of the time, but you will not always move in sync. At one point you even part ways for a while.

slare

To saunter, to be slovenly (The Dialect of Cumberland – Robert Ferguson, 1873). Rarely used in Cumbria now but has a meaning of to walk slowly, to amble, to walk with no particular purpose. Used for example in the ballad Billy Watson’s Lonnin written by Alexander Craig Gibson of Harrington, Cumbria in 1872 “Yan likes to trail ow’r t’ Sealand-fields an’ watch for t’ commin’ tide, Or slare whoar t’Green hes t’ Ropery an’ t’ Shore of ayder side “(Translation: One likes to trail over to Sealand Fields and watch for the coming tide, Or slare over to where the Green has the ropery and the Shore on the other side) Billy Watson’s Lonning (lonning – dialect for lane) still exists and can be found at Harrington, Cumbria.
