Week 3: Sleepover with Karaoke!

[latebluemer]

[The weekend is ever-creeping towards them, which means it's time for another gathering -- this time in the newly-accessible second floor, which comes with some of the amenities of the first but better. The soft room is pretty much ideal for this sort of thing, and if there are any windows someone's probably hung a blanket against the void.

Extra kotatsu from long-ago sleepovers have been brought up, there are snacks and drinks scattered amongst the endless blanket nests and pillow forts, and karaoke and the animal cafe are just next door. They can choose to head out for those attractions or bring in the pet animals of the cafe if they'd like. Anything is possible if you believe.]

[ HEY DID ANYBODY WANT TO HEAR INABA SING??? No?

Well, too bad, because you'll actually get a song out of her and she's actually pretty damn good, surprisingly enough even if she'll probably say that she's not that great. Hmm. Not to mention that the whole song is actually really emotional and powerful and that's unexpected as all hell.

Also she's bringing the black cat from the animal fort into the soft room and petting it. She seems so happy petting this cat?? It's a good cat. ]

[The night is young and Blue Angel is in rare form, fully decked out in her costume in the karaoke corner and singing the hell out of this song and various others as they come up. Come do a duet with her? Pick a song to make fools of yourselves? Challenge her to karaoke roulette? The world's your oyster.

She may also be found next to a capybara which has invaded the room. The thing looks pleased as punch and you are completely not sure which capybara it is, but it has a small top hat on.]

[theycallhimmrpchan]

That's great!

[He calls out once she's done]

[wrongtiming]

[After the ending of one of her songs, she's getting a round of applause!!]

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[He waited until several other people went up, but eventually he does get up on stage and picks a melancholic blues song, closing his eyes and actually getting into the feel of it. Once he's finished, he actually stops, seeming rooted in place in embarrassment, before quickly exiting the stage.

Afterwards, he quickly busy himself - he has brought his backpack, and is fishing out a literal armful of snacks, and handing them out to people]

[ Unlike before, Owain isn't dressed to really stay the night, but he's all nice and comfortable. The bruises on his neck are starting to fade now, and he's attentively listening to everybody who's going up to sing. He's got with him Gerome's wyvern, who's currently curled up at his side as he gently strokes her back ]

Hm, I'm not quite sure what to sing. [ AKA i don't know any of these songs ]

[whirlingmace]

[ she will help by leaping at him at full speed. ]

Hey hey, Owain!

[maskarang]

[ a bit after hearing that, he heads over with whatever the staff gave him and hands both the player and headphones over. ]

Don't strain yourself.

[dolleyed]

Me neither, to be honest.

[ Also in the corner of 'I don't know these songs'. ]

Singing amateur hour, I guess.

[messianic]

[Did someone say Karaoke?

Minato loves karaoke, so he is right here and ready for all of this, contrary to his typical deadpan, sleepy expression and existence. When he heads up there alone, he sounds a little something like this, don't mind how terribly dramatic that song is, he's definitely singing Disney and whatever else pops up on the screen... cutesy pop songs and rap are fair game, it's terrible.

However, just as likely, he'll just turn to you and:]

Do you want to sing together?

[this is the best thing.]

[13thpromise]

[ Roxas was kind of mostly watching everyone else...singing in front of people was kind of embarrassing, wasn't it? But then he hears that - ]

Huh? Why?

[purrtagonist]

[. . . as someone who missed Minato's rap battle with Yoshi: WHO KNEW MINATO COULD RAP??]

[he blinks slowly at the request, one brow arching high above his hairline]

Are you sure you're not going to regret asking me that question?

[Akira is not a bad singer, but he isn't great, either]

[whirlingmace]

[ She'll put her hand over his ]

I do!

[ This will be fun. ]

[latebluemer]

[She's listening and clapping and bouncing along a little because, quite contrary to his manner, yes, the dude's got some verve and enthusiasm? Totally unexpected, musical taste notwithstanding. Despite her own appearance, she hasn't done a ton of karaoke that wasn't virtual, and definitely never in a group like this.

His invitation gets a small grin and an obliging tilt of her head.]

I didn't know you liked karaoke so much. I'm not sure I could keep up!

[She's definitely messing around, though.]

[maskarang]

[ Not too long after the karaoke stuff starts, Gerome exits the room. A few minutes later he comes back and drops a few music players on a tablet and sets of headphones. If anyone looks through them, they'll notice that the songs on them match the karaoke list.

Most of the songs are fine, but a couple of them are, uh. Interesting. Parodies, versions with misheard lyrics, bad covers, and so on. He takes one set and promptly abandons the table. Go forth and have fun with those!

Just gonna sit somewhere near Minerva with his legs crossed. And, yes, he's in his armor. Still. ]

[13thpromise]

[ ...Huh. Roxas did notice that, so he messed with one of them to check it out and he wonders if Gerome did that to try to help everyone a little with singing or was it just for listening to the songs afterwards?

Only one way to find out, so he does approach him after a bit. ]

Did you get these to try to help some of the others with singing?

[ He holds up one of the music players. ]

Karaoke Pt. 1: Gerbear N'Cinque (closed to Gerome at first, but open to reactions when it happens)

[ She's peeking at the selection of songs when she spots him ]

Hey hey, Gerbear!

[ Going to walk over. ]

Want to help me out with something?


Karaoke Pt. 2: Solo Cinque!
[ Guess who found a song about fluffy fluffy time? This girl. This is the song she's going to sing, dance, and hit a tambourine. It's a lot of fun! Join up or react to her afterwards. ]


General Hanging

[ She's either bouncing along to whomever is singing, or all the way in the soft room setting up an area for herself. She's in normal pajamas with moogles on them. Either catch her on her tablet or writing in her journal! ]

[maskarang]

[ Never before has a question sounded so ominous. ]

No.

[rosebridled]

karaoke.

[ As much as Anthy dislikes being the center of attention, she does like music well enough. At some point, probably while most of the potential audience is distracted, she'll sing something like this (which is one of her songs from the 90s stage musical because idk anything that her actual anime voice actress sings).

...If that's received well enough, after she studies some more modern songs on the list (thanks Gerome you're a pal), she might spice it up a bit with this later, with the pitch lowered a few keys. What are normal karaoke songs. ]


general.

[ Karaoke aside, she'll be staying near the walls of the room like she usually does, petting whatever animals come her way, and lifting up that blanket against the window to look out at the void.

Chu-Chu might be having some awkward standoffs with perceived animal rivals. Or just animals who think he looks like a chew toy. (Chu toy.) ]

[dolleyed]

[ Kohaku is gracing you all with his presence at Karaoke, but you're all probably wishing he didn't. Are you hitting all the notes? He'll let you know. Definitely.
He's not even singing anything himself, he's just here to give... uh... advice, to others. Unless you're a trained pro singer, preferably in classical music, he's probably not fully satisfied with your sound. ]

God, can't anyone here sing something with more depth behind it?? I'm starting to miss our vocalist and I'd rather not experience that feeling ever again.

[rosebridled]

[ ex-fucking-cuse me she had plenty of depth!!!! ]

NEVER HAVE I EVER

[delusive]

[another week, another sleepover as usual except the only difference this time is that it's located on the second floor. the karaoke had been fun but much like last week she tries to make things a bit more interesting with suggesting another game]

Alright— who wants to play Never Have I Ever? Technically it's a drinking game but you can go with whatever drink of your choice. [she just gives a slight shrug at that]

We can just take turns and go from there, only drink if you have done it before. I'll start us off— never have I ever been able to get drunk. [katherine please. that's already cheating when you're a vampire who has a very high alcohol tolerance]

NEVER HAVE I EVER BEEN TO HIGH SCHOOL

[resortghosts]

hehehe

[purrtagonist]

[Akira spends most of the evening munching on random snacks and watching everyone else perform with an amused twinkle in his eye. but then it's his turn, and he stands up and takes a microphone with an even, neutral expression. he doesn't seem excited, but he doesn't seem nervous or hesitant, either?? what has he got planned. . .]

[well]

[you'll find out as soon as the music starts]

[congrats everyone you got rick rolled]

[whirlingmace]

[ She wonder understand why anyone who knows the meme would groan. It's a catchy as hell song!

So guess what Akira?

Cinque learned a new song and will be humming it or singing it randomly. ]

SPIN THE BOTTLE

[dereban]

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

Since we have a lot of empty... drinks, I was thinking that maybe we can use a bottle for spin the bottle? Whoever you land on you have to kiss. On the cheek or lips or whatever.

If you opt out, you can kiss one of the pet animals? Or just stand away from the circle or whatever.

[ hi regrets are happening ]

[resortghosts]

[!!!

Bunny hoodie is now bouncing in his seat.]

time to draw on Appy

[whirlingmace]

[ Sooooo Cinque is sitting on her knees close to a corner of the fort with a marker in hand. She seems to be trying to figure something out. Just carefully reaching and then finding her mark. Just going to lightly draw a circle on thin air-

Oh, there's a ghost there and she's drawing a monocle. ]

Hmm. What else?

[foundationmods]

[How could you betray him like this cinque!!!]
