KARAOKE!

[dice-addict.livejournal.com]

((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.

Oh, it really was fun singing, and hearing other people sing! Door was enjoying herself, but she was a bit nervous that her rather... disturbing... housemate might try to engage her in conversation again. Talking to Teatime about quidditch was one thing, but making social small talk with him made her acutely nervous, and she suspected he knew it. Be nice, Door. You don't have to trust him, but you haven't seen him actually do anything wrong, and he's been nothing but polite and friendly to you.

Still. If she was talking to someone else, he was less likely to start being all intense at her, right? And really, she should be mingling anyway. She spotted a couple of girls she thought were from Gryffindor. Seemed like a good enough time to mingle! She approached their table.

"Hello. I don't think we've actually met, I'm Door. Are you having fun?"

"Allo! No, we haven't met! I am Tenna! () And sheeeee..." Tenna glanced over at Devi and blinked. "Can't hold her alcohol." She looked back up at Door and smiled encouragingly. "It's alright - fun to see these people out of their normally serious lives! How about you?"

"Seems to me that a lot of the people here can't hold their liquor. Or, really, that they can, but they're trying to hold several other people's shares as well. But it is amusing hearing people sing. They choose some very interesting songs." A glimmer of an idea made her smile. "You know, a few people are singing duets and that really looks like fun. Do you know the words (http://www.stanrogers.net/songs/bp-sng.html#sherbrooke) to "Barrett's Privateers" (http://s56.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3RP1CYOK35XOG0GW4BBCLCFIL5)? Your friend could sing it with us, it's a good song for a group." Door blinked, tilting her head. "Or if you'd prefer something with more optimistic lyrics (http://www.stanrogers.net/songs/mec-sng.html), we could do "The Mary Ellen Carter" (http://s56.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2GNL19WVXGGF72VXTXJYPU9R5E)." Laughing, she shook her head. "I don't know why I've gotten all nautical but..." Door shrugged. "They're fun songs."

"Hehehe, yes indeed!" Tenna stroked her chin in inner debate. "Hmm. I could definitely do that! I haven't heard Barrett's Privateers, but The Mary Ellen Carter is a FUN frickin song, ain't it?" She grinned and took another sip of her drink (randomly a beer now). So you want to? Devi wouldn't do it if you had two liters of vodka in her system (well, maybe that much. Because then she'd be passed out. You could prop her up on strings, hehe) but I'm all up for a good song!"

"Wonderful!" Door took Tenna's hand and half-dragged her to the stage.

Tenna half skipped behind her to keep up.
