Life Support

[leadinghome]

The chairs are set, the snacks are picked, and the friendly listeners are discreetly hanging about. It's that wonderful time once again...



LIFE SUPPORT

- Feeling lost and lonely?

- Bored or hungry?

- New to Milliways?

- Needing something to do tonight?

Pull a chair, sit a while, everyone's welcome!



Rhyme Jam Night, Poetry and Karaoke

(Hm yes, that's a portable karaoke machine right there.)



[ Open until the next one, all tags will be picked by at least one of the life support staff. Thread-hopping is also encouraged. ]

Alex - who, fortunately or unfortunately, was brought home to the reality of Milliways by the very solid, very un-dream-like slippers stashed under his bed - eyes the circle of chairs warily.

But he does feel a bit lost, to be honest, and he is new to Milliways. And, as his stomach is reminding him, he's a growing boy in need of his food.

Hmmm.

"Hey." Connor looks up from the portable karaoke machine's manual, flashing a smile. "Come on, have a seat?"

[v-accidentprone.livejournal.com]

"I'm Alex," he says, awkwardness written all over his body language. "Um. What, exactly, is this?"

[leadinghome]

"I'm Connor." He gets up, offering a hand. "Life support is a little... well, a little event organized by Doc Guppy Sandhu. The idea is to help people socialize, offer them a light meal, listen if they want to talk about something bothering them. But in general, you can do pretty much anything you want, as long as you follow The Rules."

"Hallo everyone."

Carlotta comes over, her right leg in plaster, and sits down. She looks tired and fed up.

"What's 'rhyme jam'?"

[leadinghome]

"Hey." Connor looks up from the portable karaoke machine's manual, flashing a smile. "A mixed rhyming session. People can sing, or they can read poetry."

[fiery_ring]

Carlotta smirks.

"I'm not sure you want to hear me sing. I say, is it the magic karaoke machine?"

[leadinghome]

"No, I asked Bar to borrow a normal one." Really, that magical thing would not be a good idea for Life Support.

"Hey, the fun of karaoke is singing, not singing well..."

This, Rose suspects, is the event that Remy informed her of. For the moment, she will observe, and not interact.

(Feel free to disabuse her of this notion.)

[leadinghome]

"Hey." Connor looks up from the portable karaoke machine's manual, flashing a smile. "Come on, have a seat?"

[seeswithhereyes]

"I suppose," she replies. After a moment, she grudgingly selects a seat.

[leadinghome]

"Oh, no, only if you want: this is Life Support, as long as you stay inside The Rules, you do whatever you want." He nods. "I'm Connor."

[numbered_doctor]

It takes a little while for Remy to spot the familiar girl, but at least she's more alert than she was last time they talked. She raises a hand in greeting.

"Hey, Rose!"

[seeswithhereyes]

"Hello Remy," she replies.

[numbered_doctor]

Smiling, she wanders over to her, sliding her hands into her pockets.

"I see you found us."

[seat_five_girl]

Far be it from Ako to force people into anything.

That said she does have a chair open where someone else could also look at the binder full of songs titles for the karaoke machine.

[seeswithhereyes]

Alas, Rose has no interest in karaoke. An empty seat, however is perfectly inviting.

[seat_five_girl]

It's mostly a nondescript binder. Besides, girls with odd hair colors should meet in passing at the very least.

Never mind that Ako is flipping ahead past the song titles in Aubresh. English is bad enough, thank-you.

"Hello, stranger," Annabelle teases, sliding onto one of the chairs near Connor. "Seen anything interesting lately?"

[leadinghome]

He looks up from the karaoke machine's manual, flashing a smile to Annabelle. "Well, I just saw the most beautiful, fantastic woman in the whole world."

[aeons_crackshot]

Annabelle glances at the manual, but is mostly focusing on Connor. "Did you? My, my, whatever are you doing talking to me, then?"

She's teasing, well, mostly teasing.

[leadinghome]

His reply?

To kiss his girlfriend.

There.

[seat_five_girl]

Ako is looking at the karaoke selections. That should be safe right?

[leadinghome]

Connor looks up from the portable karaoke machine's manual, flashing a smile. "Hello."

[seat_five_girl]

"Oh, hi," says Ako with a tiny, reflexive bow that might be mostly a nod.

"There are an awful lot of songs here."

In very tiny print.
