KARAOKE!

((Sorry about the delay but it took me a while to decide how to play this. If you think it's unrealistic for your character to have been drunk enough/influenced by Ryuuji, you don't have to play along. Otherwise, pick any song you think your char would have sung, upload it to yousendit, then comment with a link. Easy way to share musical tastes! And if your char was drunk enough, pick a song they'd never normally sing and upload that. XD))

Over the course of the evening, everyone had been roped into trying out the karaoke machine at one point or another. Or trying it out several times, since Ryuuji hadn't been quite sure if he'd caught everyone and had compensated for that by pushing anyone he caught onto the stage and insisting that they serenade the pub.

For himself, he'd ended up performing once to break the ice, once for the hell of it and once near the end of the evening to prove he was still sober. And the fact that he thought that would prove he was sober probably testified to the fact that he was more than a little intoxicated by that point.

Songs were:

Every Me and Every You - Placebo.

The Calender Hung Itself - Bright Eyes.

Irresponsible - Voltaire.

Earlier in the evening, Stephen Maturin had resorted to his private store of coca leaves, which left him energized and relatively free of care. To embark upon serious consumption of Madeira at this point was probably not wise, but Maturin had suffered the stresses of this odd place and its odd people long enough to need some consolation.

And conviviality. A pub outing seemed just the thing.

However, the Madeira made him feel a bit morose and maudlin. Thoughts of long-departed comrades clouded his mind: his late wife Diana, the many shipmates he had lost in battle, the faraway admiral Aubrey. He began to sing ... a love song ... about dissection.

(( At this point, probably anyone could get into the Doctor's pants. Especially if they bear a resemblance to Jack Aubrey. ))

"..." A little taken back, having been unfortunately sober enough to listen to the lyrics, Ryuuji nevertheless applauded. Sara must have liked that song. It sounded like it would have been down her line, anyway.

((Oh dear. Let's hope nobody tries XD))

(( well, after singing a Nick Cave song while thinking about Jack Aubrey, the good Doctor *is* primed for slashy love ... >:D ))

(( OOC: Yeah!! I didn't notice before that Lupin had sung The Soldiering Life. :D I have been addicted to the Decemberists ever since reading about them on greygirlbeast 's LJ. Actually I'm trying to think of a way to get Maturin reading greygirlbeast 's fiction at that, but he would probably be too embarrassed to be seen reading, say, Frog Toes and Tentacles.)

((The Decemberists are local - when I first moved here, Colin Meloy was playing dive bars to audiences of three people, and now he's a globe-trotting superstar. I'm so proud of him. ;) ))
