Karaoke Night [OPEN]
I just need a way to relax.
He suddenly heard music, and opened his eyes to what appeared to be a high class nightclub, but filled with the strangest creatures he had ever seen, even since arriving on the ship. Behind the bar, a green-skinned redhead with horns, more conspicuous for his paisley shirt and purple ascot, was trying to get his attention.
"Hey, kiddo, didn't you hear them call your name?" The demon said, smiling. "You're up, bubbulah. Don't worry, I picked a good song for you." Peter eyed him warily. Wherever this place had come from, it was not his head. But decided not to question it, and went to stand in front of a karaoke machine on stage. He picked up the mike and saw the song, and smiled. He loved this song. EVERYONE loved this song. Luckily, a few years in boy's choir had given him a sense of tune, and puberty had left him with a decent tenor. So, he began to sing.
o/` I can't fight this feeling any longer,
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow... o/`
That was all it took. As if suddenly injected with 100 ccs of pure rock ballad awesome, Peter closed his eyes and began letting the music take him, eventually rocking out. He had forgotten what it was like, honestly. Forgotten the fun of just letting go and having fun. And as he finished up the REO Speedwagon classic, breathing heavily and feeling alive, he wished he hadn't.
But then he opened his eyes to notice more than just his holographic audience had filtered into the "club".
"Uh... Next?" He said as he hastily replaced the mike and went to get a holo-beer.
That was embarrassing. He could only hope someone would follow him up and make it slightly less so.
[ooc: Start a subthread with your character approaching the stage and singing a song. Characters can react to other's performances even if they aren't singing themselves. And any song you'd like, Lorne has the entire mutliverse on karaoke. I'm not asking, and neither should you.]

"To family," he whispered with a raised glass. But the faces flashing through his head weren't the blood relatives who may or may not have been in stasis in the Pod Caverns.
Billy lapsed into silence then, and he might have even started to relax. The music was not unpleasant.

"I am---how is he? I would've stayed, but he wanted to be left alone for a while. And I certainly can't blame him for that." Even if he didn't like it. Billy dropped his gaze to the counter, wondering what the Black Ranger felt then.

"Physically? He'll be fine. I'm going to do a followup with an actual doctor with him later. As a medical professional, I can't give you word on his psychology without his consent." Peter wasn't about to give that stuff out to anyone, period. He did have his standards. "But the way you jumped to ask how he was... I can at least say he's lucky to have a friend like you. The only guy I have who would act that way for me is my brother, and he would only do it half the time. You really are a good person. That should have been our toast." He smiled, somehow feeling like a good person for saying that himself, as he took a drink of his beer.

Billy took another sip and ducked his head, unsure of how to respond to the other comments. "I can't say I'm qualified to speak about sibling relationships, but Adam's my friend and teammate. We're the only active crew members from my former universe. If he'd been infected by the zombies while I was locked on the other side of the wall..." He trailed off. Peter could fill in the blank with whatever horror he chose to.
"I highly doubt I would have elected to make such a self-congratulatory toast, but I appreciate the thought." There was the tiniest of smiles on his face. "'To compassion' would've been my alternative. As a medical professional, I hope you can understand that."
no subject
"To compassion. And to the understandings that lead to that compassion." He smiled at Billy. They certainly had common ground, and Peter could see it after Billy's suggestion for a toast.
