【OPEN MINGLE】SING YOUR HEART OUT WITH FEBRUARY KARAOKE
[ On everyone's Starnet devices, they'll get a message from one Inaban: ]
Karaoke party at 7 PM tonight.
Consider this a housewarming party.
Everyone is invited, as long as you're not being an ass.
Anybody who's being one will get their ass kicked out.
Food will be provided, but feel free to bring your own food as well.
And while this is primarily for karaoke, other games can also happen if you want, but they will have to be self provided.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns, message me here.
[ And that's basically it!
Directions to the new place on the first level will be provided and for those who went to where Inaba used to live, they'll notice that this one is much bigger and also in a more residential area, too. The living room is set up specifically like a karaoke place with the lights low and an entire karaoke setup.
There's glasses for drinks for everyone to grab a drink--all of them being non-alcoholic-- and the TV is set up with an in house karaoke setup. Since Inaba is the one providing the set up, songs are generally ones that you can either find locally from Starsand or songs from 2021 or before.
Since this is a mingle, feel free to threadjack (with permission), post your own toplevels for a song, a general toplevel, or even another separate icebreaker game if you'd like! Please let me know if you end up doing anything disruptive or destructive that warrants host intervention. ]

Is it allowed to record a performance if somebody wants to see it, but can't make it?
[ It's private because she knows someone will wind up in jail just via the thought of it.
But she also knows Inaba knows what she's talking about. ]

Hi, hi! My name's Ryoko Asakura-- I'm going to sing a favorite from home! It's called Rainy Rainy Future.
Ahem--
[ And so, she sings the opening to her anime. No, she does not know this is the opening to her anime. Shush.
Otherwise, unsurprisingly, she'll be around pretending that she was asked to actually help with hosting. As in, checking on others having a good time. ]
karaoke
Well done! I am surprised that so much of the music from our homes exists here.

Tap shows up to the housewarming party... but she's not alone! Accompanying her is a... chibi-styled robot, designed to look like herself! Though Tap is piloting the robot with a controller, the robot is carrying a large box... full of game systems.]
I heard about games! I brought my whole collection so we can play everything we want here! I brought fighting, and party, and sports, and, well, musou isn't multiplayer, but I brought puzzles too!
[Sometime later, though, it's karaoke time. And that means...
Tap stands up front. Her robot stands next to her.]
Hello everyone! I'm Tap, and I've found this song in my time here, and it felt a lot like me... so here we go! The MMO Addict's Anthem!
[She and her robot begin to do a synchronized dance as Tap sings... She's remarkably good for an amateur.]

At the actual karaoke, she contemplates a lot of the songs... and doesn't seem familiar? Kokoro, get out more. Still, she picks a convenient voice actor joke and sings energetically. After, she pauses before handing the microphone to the next person.]
...I did miss this, I must say.
[Or, just around the party, Kokoro might be looking at her phone in a corner and thinking, until she hears you approach and her head snaps up.]
-- ah, hello. My apologies, I may be. Distracted.

Uwaaaah~ It feels so good to be singing and dancing again!

As a result, she winds up finding a song she recognizes! It's this nonsense.
A little bit later, she's lamenting her life choices. ]
Shit, I should've picked a pop song or somethin'...
no subject
[Samantha is among those who happily clap for Ryuunosuke. She hops over after the song, hands behind her back, and smiles cheerfully.]
I don't know many pop songs either. I had no idea what our options would even be.

Once she's certain that no one will endanger her secret, she removes the sunglasses and goes about enjoying the party normally. Eating snacks is high on her priority list, of course. She lingers around the snack table for a long time, watching and listening to the karaoke with a neutral expression. When she sees a chance to join in, Samantha selects a song that is at least a bit familiar to her.]
Oh, this one is homey! Ahem~! [She loads up For Fruits Basket,] Let's go! Party!
[... this song is really slow. and calm. and not a party song at all.]

The first being Heart in Blue (lyrics) which she sings with a lot of passion and practice. It's clear that she's done this before.
The second one that she winds up singing, later in the night is Seine no Kaze ni.
Both of these songs sure are... choices, for sure. ]
Man, I'm definitely a bit rusty. Then again, I haven't done karaoke in quite a bit.
[ You can also see her around trying to keep an eye on everyone and their song choices. As well as their behavior, too. ]
no subject
I didn't think you sounded rusty at all! You were really good! I could tell how experienced you are!

This is my first time doing something like this, so please forgive me... I'm not really all that familiar with a lot of the songs here, so I am "winging it", as they say.
[ And yet she sings this without missing a beat. ]

[ She's also literally never heard this song in her life, but she sounded on key and the lyrics seemed to match? ]

I can't sing, but here.
[She's brought a bunch of ingredients for food to make hotpot with? Yakiniku even???
She's going to mostly just be hanging back and wallflowering throughout the party, or helping out in the kitchen. Even she can't fuck up yakiniku, right?]
no subject
It occurs to Ryoko that she... hadn't really spoken much to Fauna after everything went down. After she proclaimed what she had again... but, she owed it to her and to Taiga to just pretend nothing happened, right?
So, when she spots Fauna helping with yakiniku, she approaches. ]
Hey. Mind if I help too?

Once he's settled, Yuuto will sing one whole song so that he's participated. And if your character has finished singing, he'll excitably clap and cheer for them;] That was so good! What was that one called? The lyrics are so pretty~ Do they mean anything to you???
[After burning some energy, Yuuto will retreat to the back and watch quietly. He's not actually the extrovert that he thinks he is and needs to recharge!]
no subject
I kind of expected it, but... you have a really nice singing voice.

He sits beside Vanitas, posture straight and hands politely placed on his knees. He’s so happy! Whenever someone sings, he listens, gasping at their talent and applauding them when the song ends. Everyone here has such lovely voices! Speaking of voices…
He’s never heard Vanitas sing. He can’t wait to find out what he sounds like. By the time it’s his turn, he can barely sit still, fidgeting as he turns to his roommate. He didn’t mention this part to him.]
Vanitas! Vanitas, let’s do a duet!
[He reaches for his hands, laughing and barely noticing as he trips and nearly falls flat on his face in his rush to pull Vanitas with him. He doesn’t know the song, but the title is in his language and jumps out to him, so he’ll do his best! Mostly, he wants to hear Vanitas sing.]

Ooh! This is a song from Together With Maman! I'm surprised that's here!
[ It's the show he's on in his home world. He waves when the song he picks comes up.]
Hi everyone. I'm Iketeru, and I will sing "The Free Sample Tasted So Good, So Why Was It Just Normal When I Got Home?"
[ He sings an oddly popular children's song]

She opens up with this outfit as she sings a solo rendition of Niigo's Bug.
Her outfit changes when she sings the second song, Aishite Aishite Aishite.
She has one more song as well and outfit change--Shinkai Shoujo (lyrics).
Those... sure are choices for songs, huh. ]
Oh, if anybody has any requests, I can probably pull up my library of Vocaloid songs. Although there's also plenty of other songs that Kanade composed that I can go for, too, if you'd like.
no subject
But as the outfits change, and the songs change, Tap's eyes get wider and wider, practically sparkling with excitement as she bounces in place, before all but launching herself at Mafuyu to take her hands in excitement when she's done singing.]
That was incredible! How did you do that outfit change?! Were those songs Kanade-chan composed? You're so talented!

But performing like this in front of other people? That's... intimidating. Having all these eyes on her is enough to almost make her back down. But... Yuuto wanted her here. And she didn't want to disappoint her friends, so after taking a few moments to steel herself, she queues up a couple of songs, and takes the mic when it's free.
The first song she picks is one of Niigo's own; Saisei. Though she stands in front of the others stiffly and awkwardly, and her voice wavers at first, she slowly relaxes as she sings through that familiar song, that soft and calming tone loosening the anxious grip around her.
(it's different from their performance at the amusement park. This is smaller. easier to be more aware of all the eyes on you)
For her second song, she picks something a bit more energized; Eternal Blaze. (lyrics) Though she still has somewhat of a lacking stage presence, simply gripping the mic with both hands and tapping her foot along, she at least looks out on the other gathered partygoers as she sings - in particular, she tries to meet Mafuyu's gaze during the choruses.
When the second song ends, Kanade lets the silence hang in the air for a moment, before bowing politely and handing the microphone off to the next singer before scurrying back to her place at the back of the room.]
