• Regular message:

  <Name> says, "there seems to be a beat, now. I can feel it in my feet, now." He winks at you and starts dancing.

  Reality blurs as <Name> winks at you and dances furiously, his glass hand dissolving to ice petal flowers revolving. Wait, that doesn't make any sense. Stupid hippies.

  <Name> misses a dance step and trips over his own feet. He gets up and says, "never mind how I stumble and fall," winking knowingly.

  <Name> comes skimming through rays of violet, winking as he wades in a drop of dew. You don't know what he's on, but you know you want some.

  <Name> dances a little too fast. You tell him he better watch his speed, and he winks knowingly.

  <Name> dances a trippy little jig and drops you a wink. Goddamn, well, I declare, have you ever seen the like?

  <Name> dances so fast he trips himself and falls to the ground in slow motion. After the long, strange trip, he dusts himself off and winks at you.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

  <Name> changes color a few times, trying to match the plaid on your Tam O'Shanter.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

  <Name> does a free-form, hippy-ish dance around the Maypole.

  <Name> gives a blissed-out grin from under the Wax Lips.
