In the Corner the Karaoke Lurks

[wheatencrown]

Demeter had entered Milliways in a very good mood, she has plans and Felix is smiling. Somehow she ended up in the corner with the karaoke machine and its rather compelling.

Apparently even a goddess can't bargain her way out of it and soon she's singing with a look of horror and then laughter as she just enjoys the vulgarity of the song,

"I like that-
my body rocks a rhythm
you beat my drum hard
I might just kick it kick it
you wanna lick it lick it
I love to stick it stick it
from London to LA
yeah that’s the ticket ticket
come on and kiss it kiss it
I like that-"

Join her, save her, dance with her, the karaoke machine is awake.

(OOC: Consider this a party post. Your pup can tag Demeter and try to save her from the karaoke and get taken up themselves or they can just get sucked in all on their own. Open for ages, have fun! Since I put this up rather late, I forget to explain the karaoke machine, its karaoke without the choice. So pick a song that will embarrass your pup and just go for it.)

Data is people-watching from a table that is relatively near the karaoke corner, and turns to observe Demeter's performance.

"That is an interesting song choice," he comments between verses.

Certainly not something he would have expected from a revered goddess. But then again, he had never met a goddess before he met Demeter.

"I didn't choose it."

She manages to say before the machine has her sing again.

[ol-yellow-eyes.livejournal.com]

Data is now thoroughly confused. He runs through some possibilities of what Demeter could mean by the statement.

"You are somehow being forced to sing it, then?" he guesses. She did almost seem to interrupt herself, as if she could not help it.

He knows she will not be able to answer until this verse is finished.

[wheatencrown]

She nods, its a fun song but not what she would have chosen.

As carefully as she can, Demeter moves towards him to see if she can hand him the miecrophone or put it down somewhere.

Seras is sitting close to the singing and dancing and evil. She looks up and smiles a little at the funny scene playing out in front of her. She is wearing the dress Zak had gotten her. Only problem about the dress is that all the dark scars from where she had blessed blades stuck in her were showing and she had to wear a choker to hide the holes in her neck... and it barely did that.


Lord knows she need the cheering up.

[wheatencrown]

Demeter is partway through a verse and waves at the young woman, offering the microphone.

[flail_victoria]

Seras shook her head.

[wheatencrown]

The karaoke gets her singing again, Demeter is trying to enjoy this but its a rather bouncy song.

There was a curious goat god snickering, if suitably wary of the machine. Of course Pan ends up getting too close, and dance music starts.

"Ohhh you touch my tra la la..." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPrnduGtgmc)

[wheatencrown]

Demeter hands him the microphone and flees out of reach before laughing,

"Enjoy it."

[thatinyourpipe.livejournal.com]

He gave an annoyed bleat at his aunt, but well the lyrics are fun. Not his style of music, but well when in Milliways...

"oh, you touch my tralala,
mm my ding ding dong.
la lalala lalala...."

He even danced around, getting into it.

[wheatencrown]

She applauds and claps along, its so much more fun when she's not singing.

After the music ends, a woman in a black leather mini, high heels and a man's shirt steals the microphone away. Flashing a grin to Demeter, she strikes a pose before she starts to sing.

"Let's go girls...

I'm going out tonight-I'm feelin' alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Wanna make some noise-really raise my voice
Yeah, I wanna scream and shout
No inhibitions-make no conditions
Get a little outta line
I ain't gonna act politically correct
I only wanna have a good time

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun (fun, fun)

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts-short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction
Color my hair-do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!"

[wheatencrown]

Demeter is glad to give up the microphone and orders some wine as the other woman sings.

[7twistedwishes]

The Devil is singing about why she loves Milliways... and delighted in doing so.

"The girls need a break - tonight we're gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don't need romance - we only wanna dance
We're gonna let our hair hang down

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun (fun, fun)"

[wheatencrown]

Demeter on the other hand is going to get a glass of wine and stay far away from that machine.

[hoopsonfire]

Curiosity, impulse, accident, a pale figure in a black minidress observes a moment, before stepping up: the music changes, and she starts to sing in a deeply passionate voice.

"Find the end, let us start again
Feelings lost now surge as oceans
So grey she rises to the world
And her name shattered years ago
Scattered with the northern snow
Fragments hidden well within our minds

Til the rains fall no more
Til the nights no longer find us here alone
Til the rains fall no more
Til the night no longer finds us here alone"

[wheatencrown]

Demeter doesn't understand why the woman, perhaps not alive but woman actually wants the microphone but Demeter is glad to let it go.

[hoopsonfire]

Ah, when you are dead you have few things to interest you in existing: the Beast wants to feed, the human wants to stay human.

Song is a way to keep your soul living.

"In death's eyes sorrow lingered once
Seeing her life torn apart
The shackles fell to see her free to walk the earth
In her eyes life is present still
Through the day I watch her sleeping
I hold her close forever more...

Til the rains fall no more
Til the nights no longer find us here alone
Til the rains fall no more
Til the nights no longer find us here alone"

Boromir was sitting in one of the booths when the music started. He looked over his shoulder to see the look of horror on Demeter's face and, though he noticed it change into mirth, he still walked up to the goddess with a slightly concerned look on his face.

"Are you all right, Lady Demeter?"

[wheatencrown]

She waves to him, but can't speak only sing. The space between the verses finally allows her a moment,

"No, this machine is cursed."

[sonofwhitecity.livejournal.com]

Concern replacing alarm, Boromir looks at the karaoke machine, his right hand moving to the hilt of his sword. There is a minute hesitation, because after all she is a goddess, but Milliways doesn't seem to care much about that kind of thing. With the whisper of metal on metal, the long blade is drawn and Boromir approaches the evil machine.

Zevran, of course, would not miss this for the world. Pretty women and vulgarity are two of the things he's best at. (Best at being, even, but that's work-related.)

He leans lightly against a nearby table, an amused expression on his face as listens, watches quite intently, and lets one hand bounce. The physical rhythm that he's keeping is perfect, but as he starts to hum along after a while... well. That's not quite so polished, beat-wise.

[wheatencrown]

Demeter finally finishes the song and puts down the microphone, almost running away from the machine.

She turns and says a curse to it in Greek when she notices the man humming, "That machine is cursed."

[antivan-leather.livejournal.com]

"Cursed?" The elf looks amused, and he stops humming. "Are you sure, bella?"

Then Zevran gives a broad grin. "Though if it is, it certainly has good taste in who to possess. I will give it that."
