Who: Issei (

unknownrival) and everyone else~
Where: Ace Karaoke, a karaoke bar.
When: 7:30 PM of September 20th and onward.
Summary: Singing. It is happening. You can't stop it.

The karaoke bar is well-lit, in good repair, and is generally a nice establishment before some people get into it. There is a stage with several microphones on it and a karaoke machine. You select the song you want to play from a book, enter the numbers in the machine, and it starts playing the instrumentation (and backing vocals) while showing you the words you should be singing.

If you don't like any of the selections, you can connect a laptop to the karaoke machine and select a karaoke track from elsewhere for the machine to play.

Food and drink are available, and not all of the drink is alcoholic. Customers who get too rowdy will be asked to leave, but everyone gets a little braver with some drink in them, and sometimes that's needed to get up on stage and sing like you don't know how terribly you're singing.

Ah, because they enjoy it and it's meant to be fun... And, well, it does look kinda fun. [Though right now she has no intention of going up there yet.]

I see. I don't see the appeal in this in particular, but that doesn't mean that others don't enjoy it.

[April gives a nod as she takes another sip from her drink.]

Yeah, something like this isn't what I would usually do for fun, but I might go give it a try.

I would rather not.

[Hold on, she's gonna try to imagine him doing something like that before grinning slightly and giggling.]

I'll admit, it's not something I can imagine you doing. But you don't have to worry about me dragging you up there yet. [The 'yet' is because she will probably try to when she gets drunk.]

I appreciate your kindness. [Thankfully, he misses the 'yet' part of that.]

[She gives him a small smile, before going to finish off her drink. Though she's soon up to go get another one, but she turns to Ledah first.] Ah, do you want a drink or anything?

Water will be fine, thank you.

[He doesn't drink alcohol.]

[Yeah, she had the thought that he didn't drink alcohol, so she nods and goes off to get the drinks. She's back after a few moments, and she holds a glass of water out to him, her glass of alcohol in her other hand.]

[Accepts it.] Thank you very much.

You're welcome! [She sits back in the seat next to him and takes a sip of her drink, before moving to get the book of songs and having a look through it.]

Do you recognize any?

[He hasn't looked, of course. That would be a waste of time.]

[She continues to read through the book, tilting her head a bit before she frowns and shakes her head.]

Nope, I don't know any of these... Well, at least it'll be interesting trying to sing one.

I wish you luck in your task.

Thanks, I just need to work up the nerve first. [Now just gonna take a sip of her drink.]

Does alcohol help you with that?

Yeah, it helps me relax, so I won't be as nervous as I usually am. If I went up there now, I would just end up getting pretty embarrassed.

It seems embarrassing either way.

[She laughs at that, but nods in agreement.] That's true, but at least if I'm a bit tipsy then I won't care about embarrassing myself that much.

Until you recover.

Hehe, well, so long as I don't too much of an idiot out of myself and end up stuttering, it'll be fine. [Another sip of her drink.]

Try not to choose the songs with the obscenities in the titles. I imagine that they would be particularly embarrassing.

[She laughs with a nod.] I'll make sure not too, since I don't think I would be able to handle that much embarrassment even if I got completely drunk.

[April keeps flipping through the book as she sips her drink some more, though she soon stops flipping when she spots a song that might be interesting.]

Have you found one?

Yep, it's called "Firework". Hopefully it'll be a good one. [Since she had seen pictures of fireworks and they looked pretty, so a song about them should be alright.]
