KARAOKE DANCE PARTY!!! [OPEN, COME GRAB FREE CR!]

[climax-jumper.livejournal.com]

Everyone had been so nice to Ryo since he had awoken a day prior. He wanted to show his appreciation to his friends and the crew, and get a chance to meet others. So, he walked back into the sensoriums and imagined a place. As he opened his eyes, there was the Milk Dipper. Wood finish, stars decorating the place, rough hewn wooden tables and the telescope in it's pedestal at the center. Everything was as it should be, except for one thing. Behind the counter, looking very confused, was a green-skinned demon who bore no resemblance to Airi. Ryo registered his shock as the demon spoke.

"This... is NOT my bar..." The green one said, his own shock evident. He looked at Ryo. "And you're not Peter..." Ryo, not knowing what to do, bowed quickly.

"I'm sorry, Oni-san, I just wanted to throw a party for everyone, with karaoke and dancing, and I didn't mean to summon you!" The demon shook his head, waving Ryo off.

"It's Lorne, and you had me at karaoke. Now, this place.... I like it. Kind of a kitsch-meets-class thing going on... It does need to be bigger, though..." Lorne snapped his fingers and the cafe expanded, now as large as an auditorium. The telescope pedestal sat firmly in the center of a well-polished dance floor, underneath a disco ball and lighting set up. To the left of the counter was a stage with a karoake set-up, and behind the counter was now a lot more than just coffee. Otherwise, the decor remained the same.

"Alright, Ryo-kun." Lorne said with a smile. "Give everyone the heads up and get this party started." Ryo nodded, amazed by the demon's abilities, and gave a call on the omnicomms.

[[ OOC: It's karaoke dance party time! Start a sub-thread with your character singing a song, socializing, or just being a wallflower, and let the CR flow! Especially great for newbies to meet folk and influence people!]]

As people began shuffling in, Ryo got up to the stage and chose a song. It was one of the few american songs he knew, and it had been one of Airi's favorites.

"My Nee-san loved this song, and sang it to me every time I felt bad as a kid. I hope you all enjoy it, and please join in if you know the words." With that, he cued it up. The familiar Phil Collins backbeats started and Ryo sang. He had a surprisingly good voice (almost as if he were an idol in an alternate universe. Weird, huh?)

"o/` You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you fell so small

But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow... o/` "

Raucous clapping from the guy who thundered out of work at the sound of karaoke.

Ryo was quite an exceptional singer, Billy thought. It was an honor to listen, and the song admittedly lifted his spirits a little.

"That was excellent!" encouraged Billy from below. "Have you participated in a band?"

All Static did was nod at him as he finished and offer him a fist pound as he came off the stage.

"Nice."
