🎤 🎂 ✨ (open)

[airdnd]

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! ]

[cathasahat]

Let me know if you need help carrying them.

[ Lyney will make a face when he finds out she had this many desserts, but it's fine. She'll just burn it off later--it's worth trying new foods, after all. ]

[startraveler]

Alright.

[Thankfully they aren't heavy at all. Just small little snacks and Aether comes back with a nice selection of them. There are all kinds of fruit flavours, matcha, chocolate, even cookie flavoured.]

Here you go.

[cathasahat]

Wow, this is more flavors than I expected.

[ Not that that's a bad thing, but it will take her longer to go through all the different flavors and select one to start with. She picks the matcha. ]

I wonder if this will taste like the tea.

[startraveler]

I thought we may try a bit of everything. It was difficult to pick.

[He laughs. All of these sounded good, so can you blame him?]

Hmm, maybe it will taste more like a matcha cake?

[A bit of distinct matcha taste but mostly sweet.]

[cathasahat]

I won't object to having more delicious options.

[ After trying the matcha pocky, she gives it a thoughtful look. ]

Sweeter than the classic tea, but I think that works better for a snack.

[startraveler]

Sounds good.

[He takes a different pocky, "yuzu flavoured", it says. He gives it a try and after a moment smiles.]

Hmm, this one is quite refreshing.

[cathasahat]

[ She also tries one, eyes widening a little. ]

As you said, it has a refreshing citrus taste. How nice.

[startraveler]

Oh and how about this one? It's cookie flavoured.

[He gives it a try.]

That's quite nice.

[Maybe they should make a list and rank them later.]

[cathasahat]

Oh--the coating doesn't look that exactly like a cookie, but somehow it tastes like one.

[ If they make a list, then next time they'll know which flavors are the best ]

[startraveler]

[Aether nods, then again looks at the many flavours they have gathered.]

Maybe we could make a list of these and write down which one we liked the most.

[They could even give them star ratings.]

[cathasahat]

That’s a good idea. We must be able to get them from somewhere in the hotel, so we can figure out which flavors we like best for the future.

[startraveler]

True! And we should share some interesting flavours with Lyney as well.

[cathasahat]

Exactly. Do you have paper? Or maybe the phone devices they give us here have a recording function. Lyney has mine, I'm afraid.

[ Since otherwise it would probably meet an untimely demise within the day. ]

[startraveler]

Hm, let me see... [He takes out his phone and examines the options available.]

Oh, it looks like we can write notes. Recording is also possible.

[Useful.]

[cathasahat]

That’s helpful. It doesn’t seem to be too complicated either…

[ probably, but she might still manage to get it wrong. ]

[startraveler]

That's true, but if you're still worried I can take care of noting it down.

[Leave this to him!]

[cathasahat]

That’s probably for the best. Thank you.

[startraveler]

No problem. Do you have anything I should already note?

[cathasahat]

Hm, I liked the yuzu and the cookie. What about you?

[startraveler]

I think yuzu is my favourite so far.

[He notes it down.]

[cathasahat]

It’s a unique flavor.

[startraveler]

Yeah. And that makes me excited to try the others.

[Surely, they will find more unique flavours.]

[cathasahat]

[ She starts perusing the options again. ]

Hm, choco banana. I assume it’s chocolate and banana.

[startraveler]

It seems like that.

[He takes one to try.]

...That's a really nice combination.

[cathasahat]

The chocolate complements the banana well.
