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! ]

It is? I suppose the lighting could be considered dramatic.

[ Though her standards may be skewed, since she works as a magician's assistant so flashy lighting is par four the course. ]

[eyescar]

Yeah, a little over the top, but it was nice that it was organised to begin with!

[ He's clearly delighted. ]

Especially with karaoke! I never thought to do that here.

[cathasahat]

Oh, is this type of thing common where you're from? It's my first time.

[eyescar]

What? You've never done karaoke before?

[ Say you're joking!! ]

[cathasahat]

No. I don't think it exists in my world.

[eyescar]

Well... Do you want to do one together? Then I can show you!

[cathasahat]

[ She looks a little startled, her tail twitching in surprise as well ]

--ah, I'm not very good at singing. But I can watch you?

[eyescar]

You don't have to be good at singing to do karaoke! And don't worry, I'll sing loud enough so that only I can hear you!

[ What a hero. ]

[cathasahat]

That's very nice of you.

[ She says it very seriously, but he may catch a tiny smile before her expression smooths out again. ]

[eyescar]

It's not that big of a deal, really! Let's go pick something?

[ There's gotta be an easy song, right... ]

[cathasahat]

[ She has no idea what any of the songs are like, so she isn't going to be much help with this. ]

These song names are very different from what I'm used to in Fontaine.

[eyescar]

Don't worry too much, because the words will show up on the screen.

[ He points, excited. ]

And you can follow my lead.

[cathasahat]

All right.

[ She does try, and doesn't do a terrible job of getting the words and melody mostly correct, though probably at a much soft volume than Yuji ]

[eyescar]

[ Yuji definitely sings much, much louder than her in order to give her the chance to adjust. ]

See? Not that bad!

[cathasahat]

Thank you for the assistance.

[eyescar]

It was no problem! Do you wanna do more?

[cathasahat]

Is there a favorite song of yours that you would like to try?

[eyescar]

I'm usually happy to sing whatever! As long as the words are there it's fine.

[cathasahat]

Okay. Let’s see…

[ She studies the screen before poking around until she finds the random song button. After a moment, “Kiss the girl” starts playing. ]

[eyescar]

Oh!

[ Yuji grins. ]

This one is really cute! Are you ready?

[cathasahat]

As ready as I’ll ever be.

[eyescar]

[ Yuji starts to sing, and he's not... Terrible? It's a little awkward as he tries to hit some of the notes, but overall he's doing his best and doing a decent job! ]

[cathasahat]

[ Lynette somehow finds some maracas and starts using them as accompaniment while she sings. ]
