THEY SAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Who: Everyone in Prospero!
What: Issei's birthday party
When: The evening of Saturday, March 3rd
Where: The entire karaoke parlor.  Sakurako rented the whole thing out for everybody.
Warnings: Probably none, but who the hell knows!

[Well, it's Saturday night, and as promised, Sakurako has spent the entire week calling and texting every citizen of Prospero she could get a hold of in preparation for Issei's 18th birthday party.  The entire karaoke parlor is rented out, including the larger rooms.  Drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic are included, and everyone is free to mingle as they wish.]

KARAOKE

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[All of the rooms are open, and people are free to come and go as they please. The karaoke parlor has an impressive array of songs from both America and Japan, including most of the popular hits of the past 50 years. Refreshments are regularly restocked every half hour or so.]

[Sakurako herself spends almost the entire night in one of the karaoke rooms, waiting her turn but never leaving the rotation of people waiting to sing songs. Girl lives for nights like this, and she's belting out mostly j-pop hits all night long, but also periodically sings stuff that would be on the American top 10 lists along with some things she's heard on classic rock radio stations here and there in town.]

[Yo. Madoka's here to support her friend. Yep.

...Okay and maybe sing a song or two if she can, but only if there's not a lot of folks around when she gets the chance.]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Kugimi, Kugimi! Your turn!

[Sakurako grabs her and yanks her over when she sees her, sitting her down in front of the microphone.]

[kugimin]

Wait! I thought it was your turn! It's your turn first!

I don't even have a song picked out this time!

[Oh hey, she's saying this all rather quickly into the microphone... Whoops.]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Nope, you're up! C'mon, show everyone what you've got!

[kugimin]

But I have no idea what to sing! I haven't looked in the catalog or anything!

[And yet music is starting, guess someone already did that for her, didn't they?]

Why's the music starting?!

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Better hurry up and sing!

[kugimin]

OH GOD OH GOD WHERE'S THE THING THAT SHOWS THE LYRICS!!

[No choice now, she's going to have to sing whatever it is!!]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[It's 'Born This Way' by Lady Gaga, in case you're interested.]

The lyrics are right there! Now go!

[technologic]

[While there was some hesitancy about coming to a party for someone she didn't know, she decided hey, why not. So after leaving her gift on the table (a cookie cake she made), she decided to look at the karaoke.

She tended to shy away from singing when others could hear, but this was all for fun, right? So, she'll be up singing a few times, most of them songs she heard off the radio, and she's actually pretty good.]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[Sakurako claps enthusiastically at the conclusion of one of the songs.]

That was great!

[technologic]

[And April immediately blushes brightly, but she still gives a small smile.]

Oh, u-um, thank you!

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

What's your name? I'm Sakurako.

[technologic]

Um, I'm April. It's nice to meet you, Sakurako.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Nice to meet you too! Do you come here a lot? I don't think I've seen you around before.

[Because seriously, she's at this place at least three or four nights a week before the Dark Hour.]

[technologic]

Yeah, I, ah, don't sing often, so I haven't really been here much before.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Do you practice at home?

[technologic]

Ah, yeah, I do. Though I don't usually sing much, to be honest.

Re: KARAOKE

[doudemoe]

[Well, karaoke is one excuse to step out from the shadows. Minato could sing for hours if he wanted. Given his reclusive nature, it's kind of strange for him to sound so...passionate.]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[Clapping!]

[doudemoe]

[>You sang at a party, in front of a large crowd of strangers.
>Your Courage has increased!

>1. Take a bow
2. So what's next?]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

I guess I'll go again next. Any requests?

[doudemoe]

[1. Stayin' Alive
2. Waterloo (ABBA)
3. Get Down Tonight]

[OOC: Um...you can choose what he says. XD]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Stayin' Alive...? I guess I'll give it a shot!
