[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!]

Is there a reason you came? There doesn't need to be, but I'm curious now, I'll admit. [Maybe she was wondering about what karaoke itself was like...]
no subject
[So, kind of.]
no subject
[Otherwise people would have no patience for waiting between songs.]

[She's not really much for this kind of thing -- performing in public, or really even being in the public eye -- but the experience might be worthwhile.]
no subject
[Group influence can help, but in the end it's still down to the preferences of whoever the one making that choice is.]
Have you heard any songs you know yet?
no subject
...well, "newer" to me, anyway. I was born in the 1900s and last had contact with the humans' popular music in... hm. Couldn't say, exactly. Maybe the 1940s.
[/Nyx continues to bullshit a little because, well, that kind of thing doesn't get stated in canon.]
no subject
[Never let it be said she can't compromise on the fly.]
no subject
Let me think for a moment...
[She's in fairly unfamiliar territory. This might take a moment.]
I think jazz was just starting to gain momentum at the time where I lived. It took a while to get there. Though, I suppose a lot of that, and that which preceded it, is not exactly well-suited to a place like this, is it?
no subject
Maybe not the original style of jazz, but they'd probably have some jazz fusion on the machines here - it's a later style of jazz mixed with rock, though it's still downtempo and much calmer than rock.
[It's not a style Maria's overly familiar with herself, but she does know the basics, and she's fairly certain it has some representation in Japan.]
no subject
[Well, not all of the books in the library she used to live in were old. Without even getting into what she'd encountered here.]
no subject
I could try pointing you to a few of the bands I know do it, at least, and see if you like anything.

[She's going to look over her shoulder while she does, though, on the off chance she catches sight of something she recognizes.]

There really is a lot to go through here...
