[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!]

[She does look like she's not having as much fun as Tsuzuki is. He blinks at her before breaking into a reassuring grin.]
Then you should try doing a song! That's more fun than just sitting out here.
no subject
Are you sure about that?
[It's less "performance anxiety" and more "everything anxiety." If it can be termed "anxiety" at all, it's probably just more of a general distaste for the public eye.]
no subject
[One of the books of available songs is sitting unattended on a nearby table. Tsuzuki slides out of his chair and scoops it up, returning triumphant. He sets it down on Patchouli's side of the table.]
-- here you go, why don't you see if there's any songs in there you like?
That's half the fun! [He leans his elbows on the table, grinning cheerfully as he tries to read the song list upside down.]
no subject
[She takes a look through the list of songs.
Well, crap. She doesn't recognize many of those. This is what happens when you don't dig too deep into human popular culture in life.]
no subject
Anything good in there?
There's a bunch of classic songs under that tab.
[He waves at a divider near the back labeled 'Traditional.']
no subject
[But also, on that advice, she'll go ahead and turn toward the back. Something older might help her a bit more.]
no subject
If they're from this world?]
How about those?
no subject
[She searches through these. See, one of the problems is that this wasn't a major area of study (probably a bit of a misstep, she'll admit), so a lot of this missed her.]
Some are familiar. However, I think a lot of them didn't make their way to where and when I last was on Earth. Well, before the whole "became a god" thing.
no subject
[Or maybe she was just visiting a different country. He's still a little nervous about the time travel thing. It's bizarre, and it makes him wonder about what he knows and what he remembers, too.
Which is... awkward.]
no subject
The last time I was on Earth was many years ago. I didn't really listen to a lot of records when I was younger, either. I remember a time before even those were widespread...
no subject
... or maybe she's a really old alien? No way: that's funny to think about, but she's a kid, obviously. He grins cheerfully at her.]
Well, anyway, there's a lot of new music you can pick up on, then! I must not've paid too much attention to new stuff myself; I've never heard a lot of this.
no subject
Certainly. There is a lot to be investigated here. [Seventy years or more! Humans are remarkably prolific.]
no subject
[There's got to be something! And maybe it's even still on the karaoke lists. Really classic stuff tends to be.]
no subject
no subject
... So, like. Postwar jazz?
[He repossesses the songbook, flipping through it. There's got to be some. Sure, it's old now, but it's classic old.]
In English?
no subject
It took some time for records in English to arrive. I heard a few, though. Most of it was in French.
no subject
[Yeah, that's way beyond his linguistic abilities. He stops on a section towards the back of the book, with a handful of jazz standards, some in English or other languages, some translated, and scoots it over towards her.]
Here you go! Anything you recognize on there?
