🎤 🎂 ✨ (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! ]

Thanks! That's really cool of you!

[ He waves his hand, beaming. It's obvious that his name is Yuji, given the banner, but he bows all the same. ]

It's nice to meet you, I'm Itadori Yuji! Thanks for coming, even if you don't know me! I hope you enjoy yourself.

It's nice to meet you as well. [He grins.]

I'm having a lot of fun. This is the first time I've been to this kind of party.

[A pause, before he realizes that it may have sounded like he's never been to any birthday before.]

I mean I've never took part in karaoke before.

Really? Then you should definitely enjoy as much of it as you can! I didn't think about karaoke here, but I definitely want to do more of it!

[ Like a puppy in a playground, or on a walk, or something... ]

We can do a duet, if you want.
startraveler: (this is not what I expected)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-03-24 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems like a lot of fun... I'm not really sure if I should sing though.

[He was mostly just supporting with various instruments up till now and watching other people sing.]

I... don't think I'm really good at it. And there was once this incident where my singing made a monster appear.

[It only happened once and he seems to be getting better at singing, but...! The worry is still there.]

You have to at least sing one song, right? That's what a karaoke party is about!

[ Who cares if you sing badly? It's all for fun! ]

If a monster shows up, I'll take care of it. We can do a duet if you want.
startraveler: (for the better tomorrow)

[He lets a small laugh.]

Alright... Let's sing together.

[It'll be definitely more fun that way anyway.]
eyescar: (Default)

[personal profile] eyescar 2024-03-30 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah!

[ Yuji is quick to make his way over to the machine, beaming. ]

Do you want something fast or slow?
startraveler: (thinking)

[personal profile] startraveler 2024-03-30 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aether takes a moment to consider his options.]

I don't think I know any of those songs so... let's start with something slow?

[personal profile] eyescar 2024-03-30 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Right! Let's find something...

[ Yuji skims through the ballads and picks one at random. Sorry, Aether... ]

[It's fine, he doesn't know what to expect by the title alone anyway! He'll figure out how to sing it as he goes. That's how he always did things.

The music slowly starts.]


Alright... that doesn't seem too bad...

It'll be fine!

[ Yuji kind of recognises the song, some kind of power ballad from the US that got big, and he takes a big breath in before he starts to sing. It's not... Bad, necessarily, but with how much energy he's putting into it he's kind of off key. ]
startraveler: (it'll be fine)

[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!!]
