The Beach, Friday Night

[furnaceface]

Half the island seemed to have gone completely barmy, but the insanity had somehow managed to miss Jonothon somewhat. Difficult to burst into song when you had no mouth, after all

Arrive! Mingle!

[furnaceface]

There is a beach! There is a bonfire! And there's... seating, to some degree. Jonothon's innovative amphitheatre-making had ended right about the time he'd realized that chairs were expensive, and milk crates weren't.

If you don't like it, sit on a coat or something.

Ino was pretty sure that if she tried sitting out in the audience that Jono would kill her but, really, this singing all day thing? Would be a bit less worrisome if she could be sure about what was going to come out.

Since avoiding the concert wasn't an option--really not an option, for various reasons--Ino was wandering, looking around for other band members and friends.

Re: Arrive! Mingle!

//Ino!//

Run while you still can.

//Ino, luv, I need a favour of you.//

Re: Arrive! Mingle!

[flowering_mind]

Ino turned, more than a little dubious about that.

... Somehow, she was almost certain this wasn't...

"Somethin' wrong?" she asked, frowning at him.

Glee Club!

[furnaceface]

They've been working on their rendition of Hey Mickey! for weeks, now!

Because they're keeners that way.

[mouthy_merc]

And there was a Deadpool. With that kid that he seemed to always drag around.

Look, Jan was Quinn's understudy, okay? Someone needed to be awesome about singing Hey Mickey. Or, you know, keep singing about a goddamn backpack.

"No more Dora. No more."

Re: Glee Club!

[sith_happened]

"Swiper, no swiping!" Anakin said helpfully.

Re: Glee Club!

[mouthy_merc]

"Swiper no swiping!" Jan screeched at the top of her lungs, running over to... stop and stare up at Anakin. Stare into his very soul.

Deadpool, on the other hand, was glaring into this soul. "I loathe you for encouraging this horror."

Jonothon's As-Of-Yet-Unnamed-Band-Minus-One

[furnaceface]

Okay. Christian wasn't there. This was Not A Disaster. There were perfectly good vocalists on the stage already, after all.

Jono was totally going to weasel Ino and Ariel into singing for him, yes.

[Second verse, same as the first! Band members, feel free to tag in with whatever song you wanted to perform. Heck, we'll take requests if people in the audience want to comment to this thread yelling them out. Jono aims to please.]

Just Like Heaven

[theotherpeter]

Peter was on the stage with duct tape over his mouth, as the world did not need to hear him sing.

Instead, he lead the group in a rousing rendition of Just Like Heaven, with him on the keyboards, of course.

He was hoping someone else would take up the singing.

Here It Goes Again

[furnaceface]

Everybody was expecting Pearl Jam from Jonothon, weren't they? Huh?

Well, no dice. He'd gone for an Ok Go number, instead, because it was kind of stupidly fun to play.

And sort of made him want to dance while he was playing, only hooking up treadmills would have been a bit too much for the generator that he'd rigged up.

Here It Goes Again seemed like a fitting song for a day that saw everyone on the island randomly breaking into song, after all.

Re: Jonothon's As-Of-Yet-Unnamed-Band-Minus-One

[flowering_mind]

Ino wasn't really, exactly, best pleased with Christian's disappearance but being up on stage meant that she had to be focused on being up on stage.

Or Jono would kill her. Not to mention her own cover story...

Either way, she was totally rocking Evacuate the Dancefloor.

Everyone Else!

[furnaceface]

After the band vacates the stage, for anyone else who might have the urge to express their feeeeeeelings in song!

Because, hey, the stage is already there, right?

[Tag in! People can react! Mmm, simplicity.]

Re: Everyone Else!

[robinthefrog]

Oh, here it came. Robin was feeling very proud of Fandom and of going there. And today he'd been somewhat more aware than other days just how short his time here was.

All that built up and now, he could hear the music swelling. He hopped up stage right on cue, and sang his little heart out. There were bits of his crushes in there as well.

"We were drawn from the weeds, we were brave like soldiers..."

Fireworks!

[furnaceface]

Look, Jonothon is British, it's a British holiday, and he's going to set off some fireworks. Sit back and enjoy them. All of the money that he would have otherwise spent on food this month went into these, and they are properly loud and sparkly.

Mmm, explosions out over the water.

Re: Fireworks!

[boobs_and_bombs]

There were fireworks. Somehow, Kūkaku was there, like the smoking moth to the explosive flame.

Colour her unimpressed.

So unimpressed, she was singing about it:

"Why do you sing to everybody but me
Why do I let it go on
You know that you’ve got such a music rock song
In my head all day long

Baleful girl with wild eyes
Dressed in satin and lace
Oh but she’s just an end digging dime tonight
With a moon across her face

I can blow shit much better
If you can’t see it you’re blind
I can blow shit much better
Oh, y’know some day I’m gonna blow your mind.

Lala lalalala, La lala la
Lala lalalala, La lala la

I can blow shit much better
If you can’t see it you’re blind
I can blow shit much better
Oh, y’know some day I’m gonna blow your mind.

I can blow shit much better
If you can’t see it you’re blind
I can blow shit much better
Oh, y’know some day I’m gonna blow your mind.

Lala lalalala, La lala la
Lala lalalala, La lala la."

Then she grunted, "This singing shit has got to stop..."

Re: Fireworks!

[furnaceface]

Jono, at least, managed to take the criticism more or less in stride, here.

//Well, yer more'n welcome to out-do this,// he noted, easily enough. //I'm no pyrotechnics expert.//

He'd bought all the firecrackers he could! He was a high school student! Have mercy!

Re: Fireworks!

[boobs_and_bombs]

"That's why you hire one."

To that, Kūkaku only smirked, putting two fingers in her mouth and letting out a wail of a whistle that sent Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko running up. And, yes, Koganehiko was still wearing the red sparkly jumpsuit from class earlier.

"Go get the emergency kit!" Kūkaku ordered and both men grunted as they saluted and ran off again.

"Congratulations, you just got yerself the best damn encore you could hope to have in about ten minutes."
