trans_9 | Karaoke Night [OPEN]

Between nearly killing himself trying to help people and his talk with Nathan, Peter was exhausted. Even with his upbeat demeanor, it was hard to not say he felt stressed. His flight-breaks no longer helping, he decided he needed to take a few hours. He found himself at the sensoriums, a place he had heard talked about like the holodeck from Star Trek. As he walked in, it was a blank room. He closed his eyes and thought to himself.

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.]

Seeing as a great deal of the "Outsiders" team had gathered here, it didn't look like it would be too bad to hang around here as well. But, seeing Sonic get up on stage and sing? There was no way he was going to let him go off and brag that he could sing.

Taking the mic, Shadow let the the song start up, beginning with a soft piano solo for a good 30-40 seconds before the song really picks up with the drums and guitars. Tapping his feet he wait for the moment to start...

...and began singing.

It's been a long, rough road
And I'm finally here
I move an inch forword,
Feels like a year

Everything you feel,
It's so unreal
Is it true?
Is it true?

I take one step forward
Two steps back
I have a hundred-thousand pounds
Sitting on my back

Up, down
All around
Don't know quite what to do
To get through

Well I'm on my way
On my way
On my way
On my way

Here I am (Here I am)
Made it to
The end of you

Never had a chance when I'm around (No, No)

No No No No

Well now I'll never turn back (Never turn back)
I'll never turn that way
No matter how life tries to face me,
I turn the other way

Now and then (Now and then)
My head starts to spin (Starts to spin)
I'll never turn back....again!

From this moment on (Moment on)
I am moving on (Moving on)
And I'll never turn back!

I guess I'm doing alright
I'm on my way
Facing every moment
Day by day

Take a chance on black
Or tunnel into light
Head straight
Head straight

What will I become if I don't look back?
Give myself a reason, for this had lack

I can learn
I can turn
I can stay right here
Where I'm at
Where I'm at

Well I'm on my way
On my way
On my way
On my way

Well here I am (Here I am)
Made it to
The end of you

Never had a chance when I'm around (No, No)

No No No No

Well now I'll never turn back (Never turn back)
I'll never turn that way
No matter how life tries to face me,
I'll turn the other way

Now and then (Now and then)
My head starts to spin (Starts to spin)
I'll never turn back....again!

From this moment on (Moment on)
I am moving on (Moving on)
And I'll never turn back !

I
I
I'll never turn back!

Static clapped. "Very nice, my anthropomorphic friend. Very nice indeed. Glad to see you takin' the mic up."
