... 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

*Matt is curious. Music is pretty. Pretty sounds + Curiosity = Spacey. He wanders in, and immediately goes straight to the stage, grinning. He's not nervous at all; in fact, he starts dancing in time with the music as he sings along with it, his lips moving quickly with the lyrics:*

Well you’re walkin' and a talkin

[firstpuzzle]

God, as always, finds Matt charming and amusing, and applauds enthusiastically. He could probably fight this room's effect, but he's feeling extra-benevolent, so he takes his turn with an appropriate song, just a bit glad that he doesn't see Mello in here yet. Then he goes back to greet Matt.

Your song could not quite compare to you on coffee, but it was still extremely fast.

*Listens to Near's song with a tilted head, and then smiles happily when Near comes down to greet him*

Hi!
Yesss, that's one of my favorite human-bands!

You have a nice voice, Near.

[firstpuzzle]

He smiles too.
I know. The song choices are not entirely voluntary, but I cannot fail to appreciate that one.

Thank you!
He doesn't bother with a chair, instead sitting in midair.

How are you, Matt?

[Mikami is, needless to say, not familiar with the works of Fall Out Boy. This doesn't stop him from giving a pretty good rendition of You're Crashing, But You're No Wave when the room drags him onstage]

The DA is dressed to the nines

[misamisal]

::though he tries to lose himself, she smiles and catches him::
Mikami? You did a very nice job. :) That song is very good.

((ooc: Since he has the eyes, he'll be able to see that she owns a Death Note. :) ))

[He notices her lack of lifespan, and remembers that the Matt of his world mentioned her name when he arrived. Obviously those rumours about her connection to Kira were more than rumours.]

...Thank you, Amane-san. [there's no need to pretend he doesn't know her name] I suspect I had help. I've never even heard of 'Fall Out Boy'.

[misamisal]

::her eyes flicker in realization:: Oh, did you know a version of me in your world?

::she laughs slightly now:: They're a pretty good band. I got lucky and was able to sing one I knew quite well.

Have you arrived recently, or have you been here a while?

[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,
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.

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.

[lastrunnerup]

*...This should be his room.

It quite obviously isn't, though, and for a moment he stands in the back, watching people sing. What is this, karaoke night?

As soon as he thinks that, apparently it's his turn; he finds himself walking up to the stage without wanting to, and when the intro of the song starts, he knows it's one he's heard on the radio, but he can't place it right away

[firm_detective]

*He stares until after the first line of the chorus, then turns his head to converse with misamisal in a low voice. When the song is over, he looks surprised, as if he hadn't noticed the passage of time, and joins the applause at a level indicating neither enthusiasm nor disdain.*

[lastrunnerup]

*Mello hasn't been this embarrassed since his days at the Wammy's House, being one-upped by Near. He runs a hand through his hair and leaves the stage immediately, passing L with a short,*

Sorry.

[firm_detective]

*His voice has a slight note of command in it; he doesn't use this tone often.*

You missed my songs? It made me sing twice.

[teenteru]

[It's the last thing Mikami would think of doing, but somehow he finds himself on stage, singing a song he'd never heard before - Stars, from the musical Les Miserables.]

You know your place in the sky
You hold your course and your aims
And each in your season returns and returns
And is always the same.
And if you fall, as Lucifer fell
You fall in flames

And so it shall be
And so it is written
On the doorway to paradise:
That those who falter and those who fall
Shall pay the price...

[He finds himself singing quite passionately, by the end; and once the song finishes he looks a little embarrassed.]

[emo_raito]

*enthusiastic applause*

hey, that was really good!

[teenteru]

Oh - thank you, Yagami-san. [He bows, still looking embarrassed.] It isn't a song I know... I've never done that before.

[emo_raito]

i didn't know my song either. *tiny shrug*

really, you haven't? some of my friends and i used to do karaoke all the time in junior high. it's been a while though - i kinda forgot how terrifying it is. *tiny grin*
