Pirate Karaoke emergency (OOC)

[hectorbarbossa.livejournal.com]

All righty, everyone. I desparately need some people to join Barbossa in his karaoke quest, as there are so many wonderful piratey themed songs to be sung.

I need characters who would sing with Barbossa (if needed we can RP the details later) on the following songs:


A Pirate I was Meant to Be (Monkey Island 3): Barbossa and 3 others
A Pirate's Life for Me: The more the merrier.
You are a Pirate (Lazytown): I was thinking Barbossa, Pippi, and maybe more.
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Several people.

Well, come on mateys!

Owl for Elliot

( Elliot )

Sent with an owl not the reindeer, he didn't want to scare her.

Karaoke!

Ryuuji grinned easily at the crowd that had amassed, tossing his ponytail out of habit, and stepped a little closer to the mike, "Good evening, everyone! Welcome to Hogwarts' third karaoke night, hosted by myself, Sara the Ravenclaw Prefect, and Oz the Gryffindor Prefect. When you come up here, intro yourself, please? It's a big school, and just keeps getting bigger."

That said, he tilted his head at Sara and Oz, indicating it was their turn to speak if they wanted to say anything.

"Thanks, Ryuuji! Isn't it great to see everyone here for a night of fun and music? We've got a lot of talent among both our staff and student body, so I hope to see lots of you on stage tonight! And don't worry if you don't think you've got any talent. I'll be happy to buy you a little courage at the bar. Sometimes those performances turn out to be the most memorable. "

Sara winked and looked to Oz.

Oz nodded a couple times and waved. "Hey."He waited a moment before pointing out the obvious. "I'm Oz. If you're Gryffindor and... are being eaten by a flesh-eating virus, just let me know. Even if you're not Gryffindor, just tell me. Those things are nasty."

"Gods, yeah." Ryuuji agreed easily, then waved a hand at the machine in the corner, "That's the karaoke machine, by the way. Just type in the name of the song you want to sing, and it'll start up the music for you. We'll demo it out for you."

Passing Oz the mike, he went over and typed in This Much Fun -- Cowboy Mouth, returning in time to cheerfully belt out the lyrics with the other two. When it was finished, he laughed and waved at the crowd, "Alright everyone, come up and take a turn!"

With that, the three Prefects left the stage.

((Remember, if your char ICly needs enabling or other people to join in a crowd song, just stick a plea in the subject line of your comment. ^_~))

The Hogwarts Hocus IRC Channel

[fm-elric.livejournal.com]

Since it's been so long (almost 6 months!) since the Hogwarts Hocus IRC chat FAQ was first posted here, I figured it was time to repost it (Thanks, Prima):

( mIRC FAQ, for Windows )

( For Mac Users )

( Snak FAQ )

( IRC for Trillian )

( Chatzilla for Firefox )

Got questions? I'll try and answer them in this post.

Edit: For those who don't know what IRC entails, it's a chat medium. #hogwarts_hocus is the chat room where a bunch of us like to hang out and come up with cracktastic plots in.
