Who: espersions, belfire, moribound, popsometags, their cr, their cr's cr...
When: Early April
Where: Source Below: Cerealia's most surreal karaoke bar
What: How do you come to terms with death and disappearance? Get hammered and sing about it, obviously.
Rating/Warning: alcohol, hot tubs, death mentions, and j-pop
Ket Whiss is gone for good, and Minato has returned from his PLAYER ONE GAME OVER moment, courtesy of a hungry monster. And there's the residual trauma of everyone's jungle/elemental adventures.
So, well. Why not have a party?
Source Below is Cerealia's most popular — and most surreal — karaoke bar. It features a costume closet, with hundreds of outfits to try on, for that full idol experience. There are themed rooms: one with overflowing candy, another built to resemble the interior of a spaceship, one full of robotic cats who yowl in time with the music, to a pitch-black room filled with pairs of enormous, glowing, slowly-blinking eyes....
But Team Catastrophe's party isn't in any of these, because none of these losers made a reservation. Instead, they got stuck with the only one left, covered in white tile, with a hot tub in the center.
This is a bad idea on so many levels, but it's not as if that's ever stopped anybody.
(ooc: open to any extended cr, feel free to handwave how you heard about it. the more the merrier!)

The funny part was that Hiro would've just paid him with a trollish reply or a blase easygoing one since he'd do whatever he wanted, anyway! Kazuya could keep his grump and butthurtness all to himself as long as it didn't get in Hiro's way. However, the sight of him looking happy and naked was less comforting than he was used to.
Dismissively, Hiro simply waves a hand in the air as if he was saying "Shoo shoo" to a fly. He's keeping his side of the room where some of the somber people where!]
Um, I was invited here... I didn't know you guys were throwing a party, so I had to jump in. [Being the emphatic guy that he was, Hiro couldn't help and show a little concern.]
But um... Are you feelin' alright? Is it someone's birthday or something? [If so, then he could see cake laced with alcohol coming right up.]
no subject
[Kazuya didn't seem bothered by Hiro's dismissive hand gesture, and leaned against the edge of the hot tub with his arms crossed. He looked half-asleep despite his cheerfulness - his eyes were slipping closed every so often, like his body was trying to force itself to drop unconscious but was meeting stubborn resistance. Kaz had Bel to thank for that, since the demon was doggedly manipulating the Messiah's bodily functions to delay the inevitable alcohol poisoning and/or killer hangover, which was, ah, causing some strange effects i.e Kazuya's odd mood]
This is a "cheer up" party, which is, y'know, where you just forget everyyythiiiin'~ [Kazuya waved a hand about aimlessly] Which, I have! Well, no, that's a lie, I kinda remember everythin' but, like, you know, it's like, the bad stuff that go with it aren't there at all!
[Yeah, he isn't making much sense]
no subject
And to some strange extent, he could sort of understanding where Kazuya was coming from. Everyone had weird ways to destress and he frankly was no different...]
Weeeeell, as long as no one is getting hurt and people are having fun... ♪ Then I guess it's okay to cut loose a bit. [The more healthy way would be talk about it (which he knew alcohol was a quicker way to make it happen), but even Hiro knew that mere talks didn't wish issues away. He certainly couldn't consider himself a complete miracle worker.]
Never been to a "get drunk, get no troubles" party before. Killing demons or dicking around with people is usually how I blow off stream. [Thankfully, there isn't a former option around that could harass people here.]
no subject
[He made a vague gesture that somehow conveyed extreme violence towards some poor supernatural creature. As much as he despised fighting for his life in the lockdown, there was some, almost twisted enjoyment out of venting frustration and feelings of uselessness by annihilating some powerful demon. Kaz was going to blame demonic influences on those emotions]
But, none of that here. So! Only option really is to drink! Or go out to the jungle, but 'nuff people (coughMinnycough) have gotten eaten an', like, torn apart by monsters in there t'risk it by yourself.
no subject
[After they spent nearly a month or so traveling in there?! That was just being a glutton for punishment. He'll take another swag from his drink as the question marks pop up around his head. So this definitely had something to do a surprise jungle adventure...]
Unless there's a really cool treasure waiting out there... I don't see the point of exploring around. What exactly were they trying to accomplish out there?
no subject
[Kazuya scowled, his mood visibly dropping a few notches. He didn't know why Minny went out into the jungle with Yu-Yu, and he didn't want to know. The less he knew about the jungle adventure, the less angry he could be about it all. He stubbornly shook his head, trying to dismiss his sudden sour mood. Nope. Nope. None of that!]
But it doesn't matter, it's over and done with and in the past! [He clapped his hands twice, as if that was the end of that (and it was)] No point talkin' about it anymore!
no subject
[He'd bug someone about what happened later as he was naturally a Curious George. So after taking a drink from his glass, Hiro will step up and take a moment to stretch as if he was about to go out for a little jog. He was suddenly struck with a little idea!]
And by "present"? I mean us singing some karaoke. And by "future"? I mean you utterly losing to me. [It didn't matter how big or small the situation was, Hiro's competitive spirit push him to do many things.]
no subject
Me? Lose in a singin' competition? Not gonna happen. [He puffed up with obvious pride, jabbing a thumb against his chest] I'll have you know that I did choir for ten years. My teachers said I have the voice of an angel.
no subject
Oh yeah? If that's the case, then you better hope those skills haven't gotten rusty. Or windows don't shatter in your wake.
[He had a bunch more quips darting around in his head, but he'd save them for later. In any case, he'll be walking over to grab a microphone.] Since I'm a real nice guy, I'll be generous and let you pick the first song.
no subject
Hold on, hold on. [Kazuya's tone was sly, and he leaned forwards slightly against the edge of the hot tub, his grin morphing into a confident smirk. Oh, the swagger was in full swing in his body language] Let's make this interestin'. If we're tryin' to compare our singin' abilities, best do it at the same time, huh? Let's do a duet.
no subject
[Lord knows if he was just that confident or just going with the flow. Might as well give Kazuya his (potential) shining moment of glory while he still had it.] Soooo... What song are we talkin'? "Feelin' Alright?" "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart?"
no subject
[Hey, Kazuya needed to play to his strengths, and the strong, powerful vocals of that iconic Western song was perfect. Though, okay, in his drunken state, he probably won't be as flawless as he would otherwise be, with the minor slurring and all, and puberty meant that he couldn't quuuuite reach the highest notes without straining something, but to beat Hiro? It was doable. Easily.]
You know, the song where Christine and the Phantom sing their duet together in the cellars. Really cool scene, I loved it... [The only reason why Kazuya passed English in school was because of his love of Western music, clearly] I can sing Christine's role, and you can be the Phantom. Fair?
no subject
[Daichi had always said that Hiro's tastes were... out there. At least, in his opinion they were weird. Everyone thought Hiro was weird and he was perfectly content with acting like that. It was how he preferred people to think of him, anyway. He flash Kazuya a carefree wink and a smle as he nods.]
Sounds fair to me! [He'll grab the remote to start flipping through the shuffle arrange of songs. There's some playful humming before he ends up finding that selection.] Let's get this party started!
no subject
[Since when did he give off the impression that he had bad taste in music, huh? Despite his minor irritation at this, Kazuya didn't comment further on it, instead lounging about against the edge of the hot tub, toying with the microphone and looking half a second away from dozing off as Hiro hunted for the correct song. Scratch that, he did drop off into a light doze, only jerking awake when Hiro's voice rose when he finally found the correct song]
Snnh? Huh? Oh... [Music. Song] Y-Yeah! S'time to kick your ass in-
[Alas, his trash talking was cut short when the music started playing, and he hurriedly broke it off as he listened to the intro, waiting for his cue. Ah, and, three, two, one... he took a breath-]
In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice which calls to me and speaks my name
And do I dream again for now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind~
[-and, despite being drunk out of his mind and being a few years out of practice when it came to professional singing... Kazuya was good. His voice was clear and controlled, and was hitting all of the notes, despite them edging close to his pitch limit (puberty really did cripple him in that respect). You better bring your A-game Hiro]
no subject
... Well, Kazuya's feminine levels skyrocketed so much that it's hard to keep a straight face. Hiro could bring himself to be mature (or try) at times when he had to, but when nothing serious was on the line... Maturity was overrated. But whenever his part comes up, he holds back his snickers before he begins to belt out his side.]
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me to glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your mind~
[He's certainly not on Kazuya's level... Nowhere near that. But it's average enough that if he worked hard as much as Kazuya did, then he'd be pretty great. Hiro could take comfort that he could top Daichi in karaoke at least when they were screwing around. Call him small and petty, but that was enough for a gold medel for him.]
no subject
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear...
[He really liked duets, even if Hiro wasn't Yuzu. There was something very calming about them...]
no subject
It's me they hear...!
[Even Hiro had enough common sense to give it his best shot for the synchronization part. He's not sure what he was feeling... But this was a lot different compared to what he sings along Daichi. And it wasn't a bad kind of different.]
My spirit and my voice in one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is here
Inside my mind...
