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!]]

The only reason Wyn asked is because she knows Jamie's not from a time period when the Internet was around; even if he knows what it is now, there's no reason for her to assume that he knows what she's talking about. "A meme is a catchphrase or an image or a video or whatever that spreads from person to person on the Internet, usually just because a group of people think it's funny."

Well, that's a simple enough explanation that Jamie can understand it without too much thought. There's a faint frown as he puzzles his way through it and then he nods knowingly. "So...this song is one of those meme-things, then?"

There's a pause, and he adds, "What's it like?"

Wyn thought you'd never ask, Jamie.

"yaa tsi tsup ari dik ari dull an dik ari dill an dits tan dool
la dippyduppy dull la roop uttyroopy la goorigan gook aya gittygangool..." she sings quickly, the words remaining untranslated by Stacy because they're pretty much Finnish gibberish. "I can't remember the rest of the words, but good luck getting that song out of your head now."

There's a lot of blinking coming from Jamie as she sings and he tries to wrap his head around the gibberish. "Och, are ye feeling okay? Because that's..."

He was going to say something along the lines that the song would never get stuck in his head. But he's still hearing the words, and he's afraid she may very well be right.

"...Verra catchy." After a moment's thought, he adds, "Maybe it's in the media library somewhere?" Because, if it is, maybe he'll be able to get it out of his head. He starts to whistle the tune, then breaks off, shaking his head.

"One of these days I'll learn not to ask."
