[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.]


[Wild]

[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!]

I think one of the other two used to serve another god before joining us. I don't know the details. Myself and the other arrived here at the same time. I've just not really thought about asking about it.

Is there something I should watch for in case she starts to overextend herself?


[Sharak is definitely the sort to try to hide it if she is.]

Where do they go if they vanish? Do they move on?

[Celty can't remember if she heard or ready anything about this before. She certainly hopes nothing bad happens to them.]

Ah, I see. I guess if nobody's sure then at least nothing bad has happened hopefully?

[At least, if it was a flashy sort of badness she assumes most people would know something more about this than they do.

....unless aliens are involved maybe?

I see. Probably best not to pry but I'll see if I can learn anything. Do you want me to let you know what I find out?

[She won't push this too hard but she thinks it's a thing worth looking into. Carefully.]

[She nods, taking a moment to think about things.]

I'm sorry. This is supposed to be a fun event. I didn't mean to bring up something so serious.

[She shifts to look at the exit, and then back to the party room.]

I suppose we should get back to the party? People must be wondering where we went.

[No harm in staying a little longer.]
lookingforhead: (Sitting Politely)

Likewise. And thank you for being so welcoming.

[And rather than depart the venue like she had originally planned she walks with Maria back to revel with the others for just a little longer.

She's still not likely to sing of course.
