[open + mingle] at least let's sing "i love you"
Who: Maria and anyone who wants to come to the karaoke bar!
When: August 7th, evening to late
Where: A karaoke bar in Shibuya - details were provided in a public network post here.
What: Open karaoke night mingle! All welcome for singing, drinks and general mingling shenanigans.
[The place that Maria has settled on for this outing is a fairly simple, but neat karaoke parlour on a major street in Shibuya. It shouldn't be difficult to find for anyone interested in joining in the karaoke night she suggested on the BBS a few days ago, and there are a variety of options to choose from once there.]
[Single Booths]
[Shy singers have the advantage of being able to take a room to themselves, where they can practice for a while before getting the confidence up to sing in a group later on. Try not to spend too long in there, though - someone might be inclined to come encourage you into a group song on the way out.
On the other hand, if you just want a particular person as your audience, that's an option here too. After all, it's unlikely the staff are going to notice a second person joining any Far Shore resident in the rooms, and sometimes you just need that extra reassurance that you can sing in front of someone else.]
[Group Singing]
[Of course, there's also the option of gathering together a bunch of friends who want to sing together and going all-out with them instead of doing it alone. No matter your skill level, there's no shame here - especially not from Maria, who'll be standing by to flesh out any groups who might need an extra person or two to get rolling.
Though taking up the stage too long with just one person is frowned upon, that just means it's encouraged for every member of the group to get a go. Pick your song (there's a variety of English songs as well as Japanese on there, for anyone who's more familiar with those) and pretend you're belting out a performance of it where nobody else can hear you. Or pretend you have an audience of thousands, if that's more your speed.]
[Refreshments]
[Unsurprisingly, there's a restaurant and bar area inside for anyone who wants to sit things out for a while and unwind with some food and drink. It's not too expensive, but the food is good and the service is quick once you can actually catch the attention of the waitstaff.
The bar has drinks for all ages, soft drinks for younger participants and a variety of alcohol for anyone older. Anyone who wants to get a little buzzed before taking up the microphone isn't going to have too hard a time of it as long as they're old enough.
Later in the night, Maria retreats there herself for a while for a late dinner. Anyone who approaches her will get a soft smile and a gesture to join her at the table.]

[Something else you want to do in the bar? There's a lot of options, so feel free to make up other prompts and scenarios to your liking!]

[Alex had seen the bbs post Maria had made. At first she decided against going, but at the last minute changed her mind. She needed a drink anyway.
Sitting at the bar she turns the martini glass between her fingers. Every now and then she would look behind her to watch people around her enjoying themselves. It was a pleasant sight. She fer comfortable in this setting too since it was a familiar scene.]
[Single Booth]
[After another glass Alex worked up the courage to sing--in the private room. She's sung in frnt of an audience before, but just for work. Right now she just wanted to sing for herself, to unwind and relax. She hadn't been letting herself do that.
She was glad to see songs she knew on the list too. Picking a familiar ballad, Alex takes another sip of her drink before starting on song number two.]
Refreshments
[Maria herself is around the bar area with a single glass of white wine, offering Alex a polite, friendly smile as she takes the seat across the table. Given the attention she's paying to the people around her, Maria assumes she must be a Far Shore resident even if they've never met before.]
I don't believe we've met, but I'm glad the message got out to so many people.
Re: Refreshments
I am, thank you. I've never seen so many people singing in one place like this before.
[She gives her a nod.]
I'm Alex. Um..it's Maria, right?
no subject
It is. It's a pleasure to meet you, Alex. And I'm used to this kind of setting, but there's still something magical about watching people come together like this because of music.
[Lacing her fingers together, she rests them under her chin.] Are you the type to prefer watching, or joining in?
no subject
Ah, me?
[She gives a sheepish smile.]
I prefer to watch. I like seeing people having fun. I get to appreciate it more.
no subject
I'm trying to coax everyone into at least one song, but there are always people who'd rather not get up in front of a crowd. The fear might override the fun for some of them.
[And there definitely seem to be a few quiet types around here tonight.]
no subject
[Alex takes a sip of her drink as she looks over at where someone is currently belting out a passionate performance.]
Will you be singing?
[She turns back to Maria.]
no subject
Running a finger around the rim of her glass, Maria shakes her head a little.]
Not on my own, most likely. I'm happy to sing with others, but it seems a bit attention-seeking to me to organise a party like this and then steal the stage.
single booth
When she had opened one of the private rooms, she didn't notice someone else occupied it until she heard the singing coming from the inside which will gain her full attention upon first hearing it. All she can think of was:]
...how pretty...
