Karaoke Contest

[redcinemareel]

Sing loud and proud! Beware of flying tomatoes if you suck.

Rip van Winkle

[singinghuntress]

[Is she surprised she has a sponsor for this? Hardly. Even though this is for charity, Rip views it as publicity for one of her least violent talents. So when she takes the stage, she waits for the music to start and then just.. starts singing.

She definitely does NOT suck, though she IS wearing a rather large toothy grin as she sings as if there's something about the song that she finds funny.]

Vietnam

[hoasen]

[Vietnam promised to do a dance along with her song(s) if she got a lot of charity donations. IT'S A SACRIFICE FOR A HIGHER CAUSE. Part of her regrets it, but as someone who makes a promise, she will not back down!

So she did it, the solo version of some Korean classic that she often did with Taiwan back home as long as Korea actually wasn't looking. At least she has a cute voice (first half) and thanks to being strong and fit, she's got the routine down! But it's clear her enthusiasm lies more at wanting to run away. (That and she's kind of exhausted.)

SHE DID THIS FOR YOU, CEREALIA. RIP.]

[swordboning]

[Good job, good job.

Yes, Archer paid good money for this.

And he's sporting the smuggest smile as she finishes. Heck, he'd vote her winner, just to see if she'd get embarrassed over it.]

[hoasen]

[Final pose for the end song! She wants to die!

That gives her time to spot Archer with that smug look on his face. She knew he was her biggest sponsor. So...generous...

She's going to kill him (no she won't but she can imagine.) Just let her move on over to him anyway.]

Thank you for your support. [It's clear she's really about to explode despite trying to say this as cool as possible.]

[cordated]

[ makes it rain cash money $$$ at her performance

no jk, makoto was far from the highest sponsor, but he was the one waiting with two drinks — one fizzy soda and one plain water bottle by the stands. even under the influence of his weird earthy zen, he manages a commiserative grin at her when she finishes up her routine. looks like it melted his heart?!

he can't wave her over with both hands preoccupied, but if she wanders over after her karaoke/dance routine hybrid, he'll definitely let her have first dibs on the fantastic options of either pure carbonated sugar or clean spring water. consider it a reward for a job well done, vietnam! ]

[hoasen]

[SHE'LL DANCING AS HE MAKES IT RAIN WHOA

He was already one of the highest, and considering his age, he provided a lot! Also look at how generous he is. She didn't expect him to have drink ready for her, she was already happy enough to see him. Despite still being embarrassed about her performance. Did she overdo it?!

She still beams up at him once she makes her way over, since his zen like ways made it easier to not be completely embarrassed. And she's too tired to give it much thought.]

Makoto!

[buildyourworld]

[ Good thing Tieria isn't all that knowledgeable in Kpop or he would have an opinion, regardless of whether it's a good or bad one. But since he doesn't, he's just going to clap and hope that 1000 credits he invested isn't going to waste. ]

I didn't know you can dance.

[hoasen]

[Yeah, he should keep that opinion to himself, as they all probably share half of it.

At least he's pleased(?) since he did give her a lot of money to do this.]

A-ah, I'm not that good at dancing, but I am able to pick it up after much practice since I work out. My sister and I did this routine frequently for karaoke.

[cresthopes]

[Meanwhile, it looks like you have a fan Vietnam! As Takeru and Patamon listened to the young woman sing, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at what she was singing. Although, that didn't stop him from attempting to sing along with her!]

That sounds like some of the sounds that would play on the radio! What was it called again? What did my brother call it?

K...pop right?

[hoasen]

[It's okay, she didn't even know what she was singing for the longest time until she found the translations (she didn't want to ask Korea). There's a cute boy singing along with her though, so when she finishes...]

Oh! Yes, it is Kpop. Is your brother a fan? Did you like it?

Inaba Himeko

[dereban]

[ While Inaba hasn't sung in a while (she has some fond memories of karaoke, after all) she's honestly not half bad. Besides, it's a good way to pass the the time and doesn't require too much hard work. Is she surprised that she got a sponsor for this? A little, actually, but... she knows Ryuko considers her as a friend, even if Inaba herself doesn't really consider her as a friend (???) out loud. She's very protective, after all.

Today, she's decided to sport something pretty casual -- black's her color, after all, so why should she do things any differently today? On stage though, the song that starts to play out is something a little more energetic than she seems.

At the very least, she's not a horrible singer. In fact, it's quite the opposite! And she seems to be singing with quite some emotion, something that's actually pretty rare for her. Or at least, the emotions she's pouring out is something different for most people who know her. ]

Ai Thao Kha

[emotive]

[Ai Thao is someone who loved singing, although singing in public and for charity was something entirely new altogether. But hey, for a good cause right? She dresses up in a simple, but pretty blue dress and sings some songs. Three even!

✪ Die Young
✪ Fly Me to the Moon
✪ Quiet

How is she? Not bad really, in fact, it's even rather sweet especially when she begins to enjoy herself a lot more, gaining confidence with each song.]

[hoasen]

[SCREECHES INTO THE SUN. Only not really she doesn't screech.

She's clapping!!]

Ah, what a lovely voice! [Thank god it's all a lovely and sweet performance.]

[emotive]

Oh! Thank you very much, Chị!

[Ai bows her head shyly partly because full bowing isn't necessary here.]

I'm glad I was able to contribute this way! It was more fun than I thought.

[buildyourworld]

[ He remembers her and her singing from the party Natalia organized. Enjoying the second song the most, he claps when she finishes and wonders if he should vote for her even though he's pretty sure he's voting for Vietnam who he sponsored... ]

You looks like you had a lot of fun.

sorry for the late tag!

[emotive]

Oh! Thank you!

[Ai smiles at Tieria, bowing her head shyly before looking up at him again.]

And I did! I thought I was going to back out because of nervousness, but so many people sponsored me so I went for it anyways!

Ene

[digiteyesed]

[Ene is a vocaloid and pretty much obligated to join in here. Also, singing is fun, and if she can sing and help out the residents here, why not try? It's a little nerve-racking being on stage in front of so many people, she's had to play games in front of crowds and that was mortifying, but this isn't some zombie shooter, it's completely normal for cute teenage girls to like karaoke right?? Right!

She's hardly going to sing any of her canon songs since they are extremely personal and/or traumatic, but luckily her singing VA has a pool of songs I can draw from. Ene hops onto stage, enthusiastically launching into Rising Hope.]

[failsaver]

[ Have a bout of eager clapping from this guy here. ]

Whoa, Super Pretty Cyber Girl Sir Ene-chan! You're good! Really, really good!

Minato

[moribound]

[Some might notice Minato looking a little hesitant before going up on the stage since he's new, but this quickly changes once the microphone is in his hands. He's determined to do something to help the residents and he can't let down his sponsors friends, so it's with gusto that he'll launch into performing this song!

Those who have already seen Minato might be surprised by how energetic and lively he seems compared to his usual lethargic appearance, and his voice rings clear to the audience. Although there's a definite amateur-ish tone to his performance it's obvious that Minato's been singing karaoke for years and he has raw talent for it.]

[failsaver]

[ Ket was totally wiggling about shamelessly during that song. Now he's shamelessly cheering and clapping for his usually-sleepy roommate! ]

That was great, Sir Minato! You didn't look sneaky or tired at all! [ He doesn't look sneaky normally, either, but technicalities. ]

[popsometags]

[ Rinne sat still for the most part, watching Minato with a nod of his head. Honestly, he wasn't expecting Minato to be that energetic. It was a pleasant surprise.

For that, Minato gets a polite applause. ]

Namur

[om_nom_namur]

[Namur looks half asleep and like he isn't entirely sure where he is. Someone has really dressed him up for the occasion, somehow finding a white jumpsuit, beaded in shades of blue and green with colorful, split bellbottoms and an elaborate cape that both fits an eight foot tall shark fishman and makes room for his fin. There's even blue and silver glitter gel glinting in his black hair. The music starts, and he groans.]

Y' shittin' me, seriously? A'ight, fine. Shitty song's for Thatch an' Grell. 'S their fault 'm here.

[He dutifully begins, perfectly on beat, though he sounds tired. Also his voice is more akin to fighting cats, or the static interference that comes through a radio. You're welcome, Cerealia.]

Jus' a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Jus' a city boy
Born an' raised in wherever the hell that is
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

[If the fruit isn't already flying by this point, he'll wind up shaking his head a few times during the musical interim, trying to keep himself awake. Seriously, this too tired to do shit thing is getting really old.]

A singer in a smoky room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share a night
It goes on and on and on and on

[He couldn't help but smile at that part. And blush a little.]

Strangers, waitin'
Up an' down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night

Streetlights, people
Livin' jus' t' find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the niiiiiiiight!

[Hey, if he's going down in flames, he's gonna burn it down with him. He gathers up what energy he has and throws it all into that one, high, caterwauling note, imbuing it with as much emotion as he can dredge. It's a good thing there's another musical interlude right after that because he needs a moment to recover.

Someone please start throwing shit at him now, otherwise it's gonna get boring.]

[redcinemareel]

[A flurry of tomatoes is coming his way! Having all that energy this month makes it easy for her to pelt him.]

Rubbiiiiiish!

[She'll pay for dry cleaning because that's a nice suit.]

Sorry Not Sorry

[fierybluebird]

Get off the stage, yoi.

[JUST THIS FACE.]

[Unlike Grell, Marco doesn't throw things. He just orders. And his tone makes it pretty clear that it shouldn't be disobeyed.]
