When not setting up streamers or strategically-placed confetti, Kite had been trying to calculate the best possible way to get minimal singing-time without hurting Linda's feelings (or suffering her wrath). Seeing as outright rejecting her would likely get a very bad reaction, he had to go with Jack's suggestion--which, unfortunately, still involved singing. A duet would certainly be a little better, but...

Well, there was a difference between singing for a very drunk Beast Boy in order to get him to stop and singing infront of a huge party of people, even if it was with someone else, and he didn't plan on getting everyone drunk first.

...That could be plan B.

"Nnn," Kite mumbled, bit of confetti falling off his shoulders. The stuff was literally everywhere. "Ah, yes, of course." The AI nodded. Maybe he'd get lucky and the whole mansion wouldn't all come tonight...

After depositing the rest of her confetti in a large heap in front of the doorway, Linda skipped her way over to Kite.

“Kiiitte,” she sang, twirling around him, “Are you like, totally ready?” She suddenly stopped behind Kite, placing her hands on his shoulders, and spun him around to face her.

“I hope you have a song picked out,” her voice became serious, “because it would be totally lame if you didn’t sing tonight, you know.” Suddenly, she smiled and giggled, her demeanor back to normal.

“So like,” she said, grabbing Kite’s hands and swaying side to side, “what are you going to sing and stuff?”

[azureflamegod]

His programming said this would be the part where he chuckled nervously and pretending that wasn't really scary. He just kind of shuddered and smiled instead. Why did she have to say things like that?

"Ahhhhhh..." he muttered, fiddling with a loose stitch on his glove. "Ah, well... maybe..." He completely forgot to actually find a song, and there wasn't enough time to search the internet for something. This was kind of not good.

"Err... duet?" he offered hopefully. Maybe if he could get her off his back for awhile he could find something. Otherwise something horrible would probably happen.

[teenidollinda]

“What do you mean “maybe?”” The singer’s voice became dangerous, a glare forming on her face. But her worry and anger was promptly dispelled when he spoke next.

“Duet?” Linda questioned, a smile spreading across her face. How romantic! How sweet!

“That sounds totally A-W-E-S-O-M-E!” She giggled happily, pulling Kite to the stage.

“What song?”

Good thing Beast Boy decided to come. They didn't have a disco ball, and everyone knows parties need disco balls to be awesome. Thankfully, BB had brought one along. The party was saved! They could thank him later.

He strutted in, disco ball in one hand and boom box in the other. (Why he brought it along is a mystery; possibly because his favorite CD is still inside after he kicked it and messed up the eject button).

"Linda, Kite! The party animal has arriiiiived!"

Just to make sure his entrance was dramatic enough, he took a handful of confetti and threw it in his path.

[azureflamegod]

Oh, Beast Boy was here! And he had some kind of... sparkly, reflective orb. The Azure Knight stared at the object, completely entranced. It was so... shiny!

Oh wait, right, Beast Boy. Kite shook his head, looking away from the fascinating sparkly thing to smile at his friend. "Ah, hello!" he said cheerfully in his normal zombish way. He was getting better, though. At least he wasn't moaning all the time.

He paused, looking back at the glittery, sparkly, shiny round thing again. "What's that?" he asked, pointing at it.

[master_of_dudes]

"It's a disco ball. If you stare at it long enough, it gets really trippy. I think the hippies used it in the 60's to fight off the Nazis and the French."

Beast Boy nodded, quite satisfied at his very acute and totally accurate account of history. Then he smiled, spinning the disco ball and making the room shine with spinning lights.

"Nifty, huh? So, uh, what're you planning on singing tonight?"

[azureflamegod]

Woah! Now it was sparkly all over the place! This concept simply amazed him! He stared at the pretty lights, trying to follow them as they twirled around the room. He started getting dizzy though, so he stopped and stared at the... disco ball? for a little while longer.

After a few minutes of that, he remembered BB had asked him a question. "Ah, singing?" he said, still watching the sparkly spinny disco ball. "Uhh... working on it." Maybe he could just grab something from Kite's memories or something. Kite sang, didn't he? ...Okay, maybe not, but it was worth a try.

"Yo!" Came the voice of one young chinese boy entering, casual. Though it was hard to keep himself from running max speed to get here. He'd finally be able to expose people to his kind of music. Figured most people here didn't listen to hip-hop or rap...

"Uh...shit..." Con said, pointing. Having eyes actually sort of messed with how well he remembered with sound, now. After a brief pause, he pointed at each one in order. "Okay, yeah, you're Kite, you're Beast Boy, and you're Linda."

[teenidollinda]

“Welcome and like woah!” Linda said, surprised that the man knew her name without looking (he had some silly thing covering her face), “Are you like, psychic or something?”

[watching_sound]

And up the bandanna went. Con really only wore it out of habit now. Well, that and he was awfully attached to them.

"Nah. I've just got really good ears, yeah? I've heard all of you talking in this mansion before."

[teenidollinda]

“Ooohh!” Linda nodded, listening to the explanation, “Wait, so like, you stalk people and whatever?”

[heartxwish]

Tifa hadn't really been out much since Christmas. Between the bar and coping with the emptiness in her room (it wasn't so bad, really. Just hard to get used to again), a party was just what she needed to get back on her feet.

So, tucking a few strands behind her ear, a positive look on her face, Tifa entered the dining room. She looked around, wondering if anyone she knew was here yet. If not, that was fine too. After all, Tifa was always for making new friends.

[teenidollinda]

“Oh!” Linda exclaiming from around the snacks (stocking up on sugar, of course). It seemed that yet another guest had arrived. And this lady had such pretty, pretty hair…

Skipping over, Linda called out, “Hello there!” When reaching the woman, Linda had to use all of her self control not to touch her hair own hair. It was nothing compared to this lady’s.

“Um, ah, welcome!” the singer said, feeling more than a little self-conscious.

[heartxwish]

She was admiring the decorations and the stage (how proper for such a party), until she noticed someone skipping towards her. "Oh- hi!" Tifa replied, waving and smiling instantly.

"Thanks. I'm Tifa. Who are you?"

[teenidollinda]

Tifa? Even her name was pretty! No fair!

“I’m Linda! It’s like, totally nice to meet you!” Linda held out her hand, because it was totally proper to shake people’s hands in this sort of situation, right? Especially with such a proper looking lady. She was probably a princess or something.

Tino had caught wind of a Karaoke party in the dining room and decided to check it out. He wasn't really big on karaoke, seeing as he was terrified of making a complete fool of himself. Sure Tish, Carver, Lor and himself had done it a few times together... but they were best friends and activities such as karaoke were never embarrassing when you were with your best friends. Tino wasn't completely sure if he wanted to sing tonight. He didn't know any of these people well, actually he didn't really even know any of these people.

Needless to say, he was a little scared and walked into the hall with an air of hesitation.

[teenidollinda]

“Tino!” Linda shouted from across the room, “Hey! Tino!” Reaching the boy, she half tackled half-hugged the boy, and smile bright on her face.

“I’m like, so totally glad that you could come!” Glancing around, she then asked, “Hey, where’s like your bear? I totally wanted to like, meet him!”

[capytndrednot]

"Linda?!" Tino was a bit surprised when Linda threw herself at him. He wasn't used to girls hugging him. He'd given Lor and Tish a few, but they were so much like sisters he never really thought about it. He hugged her back and smiled, "Thanks for putting on this party! The decorations are um... really cool?"

Tino smiled, he had thought of bringing Pizza but sometimes it was easier to go places without him. Pizza liked to adventure places and it was kind of a mess to go look for him. He also liked to bite on the edges of his pants, and seeing as he was getting pretty strong Tino wasn't sure if he wanted to experiment with that in public. "I decided to let him stay at home so that he could sleep or something, he's quite the handful."

[master_of_dudes]

"TINOOOOOOOOO!"

And suddenly, a huge green dog bounded across the room to meet up with his friend. Morphing back just before colliding into the smaller boy, he bent down and smiled at his friend. (He was actually quite pleased to be taller than someone for once).

"I didn't know you could sing!"
