Summary
Underneath the skies of New Ebbot, one star shines brighter than most. Plucked from nothing into fame, the one voice that graces radios all around croons its suffering and romance to eager ears, dances to complete abandon to hungry eyes.
That's not you.
You are the unfortunate Private Eye hired to track down and locate said starlet, and make sure he doesn't cause an uproar in every venue he's supposed to sing at by showing up drunk and half-naked.
Sans "Red" the Skeleton is going to be the death of you, eventually.

Summary
You lived in the city for a time, living a fairly normal life. Monsters have been on the surface for roughly four years, and society has been slowly adapting to them - some good, some bad. Then one day, a skeleton shows up on your stoop with a box of cereal. While you aren't exactly ready for this, you hesitantly extend your hand in friendship. Nothing could have prepared you for how much your life was about to change in so many ways.
EDIT: It's 2026 - I have not come back to this story for a long time. It sits on my mind often, and I do want to complete it. I'm at a different part of my life now, which makes writing the drama/angst difficult; which honestly is some of the good stuff. The ending I have had in mind does not align with how I am as a person now, so I either have to rethink it, or commit to it and bite the bullet. I wanted to get plot-heavy with a little less fluff, but to be perfectly honest, I love the fluff. I enjoyed writing a dialogue-heavy story, and evolving the characters in what I felt was a natural way.
If you've read this for a long time, I love and appreciate you. New readers, welcome. I don't know when I'll update next. Hopefully this year. Much love.

Summary
***Dancetale needs more stories***
Monsters have danced their way up to the surface. It has been three years, in fact. The novelty of monsters has passed, and discrimination is bad. Humans are proven to be bigots, most of the loud ones anyway.
Meanwhile, what usually isn't among the bad news on TV is the fact that monsters are actually world renown for their dancing. It is the only thing nobody can say anything about them lacking skill in.
You are somebody who despises the hate against monsters that is monopolozing the news. So you speak up; you make a statement. You do it over a long period of time, and you do it in a way that neither monsters nor humans can ignore because of its symbolism.
You make your stand through dance.
You put on feature-disguising makeup paired with a masquerade mask, cover up defining features on your body, and you make random appearances at crowded areas in your town. You just dance, your songs always laced with meaning and often self-written. Nobody knows who you are, but your dances are always special and they make an impact.
These random protest dances have earned you a nickname, and the attention of a certain skeleton.
