... is this thing on?

[emo_raito]

emo_raito has been moping around the mansion most of the week - he's not taking the breakup with commeo particularly well. he's wandering aimlessly through the hallways today, and he shuffles into an unfamiliar room without actually realizing it. it's a bar - a different bar than any that have already been seen around the mansion - mostly dark, fairly average

[Oh, whoops, wrong room!! A was looking around for the library, hoping to return a poetry book she took out...She looks around the bar, confused, and heads on stage. She opens her mouth to get directions...

Only for music to come out.]

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you,
Tomorrow I'll miss you,
Remember I'll always be true,
And then while I'm away,
I'll write home every day,
And I'll send all my loving to you.

I'll pretend I am kissing,
The lips I am missing,
And hope that my dreams will come true,
And then while I'm away,
I'll write home every day,
And I'll send all my loving to you.

All my loving, I will send to you,
All my loving, darling, I'll be true.

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you,

All my loving, I will send to you,
All my loving, darling, I'll be true,
All my loving, I will send to you.

[For a minute, A looks confused, embarrassed, and terrified, before letting out a small

[beyond_boredom]

A.

[always_ashes]

[She squeaks again.]

Ryuuzaki!!
Oh, uh...hi!!
You...everybody heard that. Great.

[beyond_boredom]

[He nods.]

A classic. Excellent choice. I sang Kate Bush, earlier.

[always_ashes]

[She blinks, suprised, before smiling a little.]

You...you think so?
I...didn't really pick, but...thanks, Ryuuzaki.

I didn't hear you sing. Bet you were good, though!!

[beyond_boredom]

I do.

You're welcome, A. I enjoyed performing. It actually appears to be my turn again.

[He shuffles toward the stage, and once he's behind the microphone, the eerie opening notes for "Red Right Hand" begin. He sings in a low voice, imitating Nick Cave with frightening accuracy. He grins as he exits the stage and returns to A.]

[always_ashes]

[She watches Ryuuzaki preform, fascinated. She grins and claps a little when he's done.]

Ryuuzaki...you're really good!!
I didn't know you could sing...

I hope I don't have to go again for a while, though. I...stage fright.

[beyond_boredom]

Thank you, A. I've never performed in front of people before.

[always_ashes]

Well, I thought you were really good.
My B can't sing, he's tried.

[That thought makes her laugh a little.]
Do you think they've got things to drink here? I'm parched...

[beyond_boredom]

It appears so. [Nodding toward the bar]

[always_ashes]

Oh, good!
[She smiles brightly and heads towards the bar]

You want anything, Ryuuzaki?

[beyond_boredom]

No, thank you, A.

[always_ashes]

All right!!
[She grabs a glass of water and smiles at Ryuuzaki.]

This room really isn't so bad...at least everyone here can sing, right?

[beyond_boredom]

Yes, it appears so.

You missed L. He sang earlier.

[always_ashes]

[That thought is hilarious to A...and she accidentally snorts her water. Coughing for a few minutes, she smiles at Ryuuzaki, breathless.]

Was...was he any...good?

[beyond_boredom]

He was wonderful.

Are you all right, A?
