hotelcaelum | 🎤 🎂 ✨ (open)

WHO: everyone!
WHERE: floor 32
WHEN: evening of 3/20
WHAT: karaoke mingle! 🎤 and yuji's birthday 🎂
WARNINGS: n/a

[ Sometime in the late afternoon of the 20th, server member @ sumina notifies everyone (yes, @ everyone) that there will be a guest get-together at one of the large lounges on Floor 32. No one is expected to bring anything but themselves, though those who have diligently combed through everyone's birthday codes might realize that a party happening today isn't purely coincidental...

...And if not, it becomes clear enough upon arrival! The lounge has been turned into a karaoke lounge, but that's not all - there are birthday balloons and streamers artfully placed around the room, along with a banner that reads: Happy Birthday, Yuji! and a birthday cake on one of the tables.

The karaoke machine magically knows every song from every world represented here at the hotel, so don't even worry about not having anything to sing. Even ancient hymns are included on this bad boy. Not the type to sing? Too bad. The microphone will at times simply choose someone to sing, flying into one's hand Mjolnir-style, and the only way to get it out of one's hand is to sing your little heart out. Bonus: tell us what your character sings! Maybe the machine will even give you a (RNG from 1-100) score...

For those waiting for their turn to sing, there are fun little instruments like castanets, maracas, and tambourines to play around with along with this little guy, and also fun party hats and costume pieces. Guests are also encouraged to take photos with a Polaroid camera that's going around, but for some reason, everyone's photos are coming out with strange filters over their faces?

There's also a veritable spread of Japanese food, snacks, and desserts over all the tables as well. Yes, including Pocky... There's juice and also juice (for the grown-ups) and the staff are around should anyone have any special requests.

Have fun! ]

[Aether is very amazed by all the energy the other is putting into it and he's doing his best to support him with his own singing. He's definitely far more quieter than Yuji is, almost as if he's shy about making his voice heard, but seeing the other put so much heart into it makes him want to try to sing louder.

...Which he does not do, but it's fine!! They have fun!!]

We can take one for the each of you, certainly.

[ because wHAT... THIS AIN'T ABOUT HIM!! ]

But ah, both, you say? ...All right. I suppose I don't see why not...

[ if it had been anyone else who'd asked... yes, even if it'd been Gojo who asked, she would have insisted on no. But it's Yuji, and on Yuji's birthday, so... She takes hat and sunglasses both and promptly dons them. ]

H-Haha, how do I look..?

The chocolate complements the banana well.

[ Yuji, your priorities...

...are absolutely correct. Flashing him a grin, Gojo claps a hand against his shoulder, already steering him towards the microphone whether or not he has set aside the ginormous plush for now. It can sing with them. ]

About damn time you asked me! So, what do you wanna sing?

[ Unsurprisingly, he is willing and happy to belt out anything, whether he knows it or not. ]

[The high school teacher barely blinks as Gojo slides his arm around the innkeeper's shoulder. Amelia looks back and forth between Gojo and Sumina with narrowed eyes.

Sumina and Gojo. Su...jo... Go... Mina...

... 🤔

Another chug for the road and then she points at the pair almost accusingly.]

Are youuuuu... You know.

[Makes some sort of weird circular gesture with her whole arm, spilling some of her drink on the ground.]

That? Twitterpated??

Alright then. I'll be right back.

[Steinbeck-sensei is just gonna snap her fingers and disappear in a puff of green light! It's just a quick trip to her room and back. When she reappears a few minutes later, she's 4 lb. bucket of candy.

Yes, she's holding it out to Yuji with a completely straight expression.]

For you.

[He nods, then takes another one.]

This one is sakura flavoured... When I was in Inazuma they had quite a few recipes that used sakura petals.

[Goodness gracious. Well— she's certainly doing her best. He'll let her wrangle the offered sticks into a single bunch while he helps himself to the one he'd been tapping against her lips. She'd had her chance.]

Did we?

[It's like he never learns, despite being a dedicated scholar.]

I believe you informed me of such, instead— but I can't say I mind, in hindsight. I got to kiss you [sort of], so who really won in the end, hm?

Oh, I've always wanted to try that flavor.

[ After selecting a pocky and taking a bite, she gives it two thumbs up. ]

Subtle but unique.

Oh, anything would be fine! Do you have a favourite song, sensei?

[ Yuji is much the same, he's just excited about the prospect of karaoke...

He wanders over to the machine, checking behind him to make sure that Gojo is going with him, grinning before he leans down to look at the songs. ]

Something upbeat, right?

Woah!

[ That's... A lot of candy. He can already feel Nanami's gaze settling on him about how unhealthy it is, but whatever.

He's only going to live once... This time! ]

Thank you so much! This is so cool!

Yeah! Then I can decorate my room with them all.

[ Yuji is becoming something of a photo fiend these days, with his desperation to collect memories. He doesn't want to think about what will happen when he goes back home, so... Collecting happy things will help.

Looking at her, he covers his mouth to hide his little grin before he nods his head. ]

You look great, Mina-san.

[Her lips quirk into an almost smile. At her core, she really is soft with kids.]

You're welcome. Go on and enjoy your birthday for the rest of the evening. And I hope that bucket lasts you.

Look. Gale.

[Give the witch girlfriend a second, she's gonna munch down on on one, two... three pocky sticks at a time before shaking one at the wizard.]

If you wanna kiss me, we don't need Pocky to do it. Unless that's something you want to do then we can't do it when there's children around. Do you understand, young man??

[yes she is being uncharacteristically silly, but otoh it's amusing to see Amelia just kind of let herself go]
