The machine waits, it sits in the corner near the piano and the jukebox blending in and watching for its moment.

Cassian walks in from a busy street and slips his way through the crowd of Milliways towards the counter, but there's a turn he didn't expect. Then suddenly he's holding a device and singing. When he tries to stop singing he can't so he sings along with anger in his voice, he hates being the center of attention.

Well, no cannonballs did fly, no rifles cut us down
No bombs fell from the sky, no blood soaked the ground
No powder flash blinded the eye, no deathly thunder sounded
But just as sure as the hand of God, they brought death to my hometown
They brought death to my hometown, boys

No shells ripped the evening sky, no cities burning down
No army stormed the shores for which we'd die, no dictators were crowned
I awoke from a quiet night, I never heard a sound
The marauders raided in the dark and brought death to my hometown, boys
Death to my hometown.

They destroyed our families, factories, and they took our homes
They left our bodies on the plains, the vultures picked our bones

So listen up, my sonny boy, be ready for when they come
For they'll be returning sure as the rising sun
Now get yourself a song to sing and sing it 'til you're done
Yeah, sing it hard and sing it well
Send the robber barons straight to hell
The greedy thieves who came around
And ate the flesh of everything they found
Whose crimes have gone unpunished now
Who walk the streets as free men now

Ah, they brought death to our hometown, boys
Death to our hometown, boys
Death to our hometown, boys
Death to our hometown, whoa!

When the song ends with a dramatic flourish, he stumbles to a table as the karaoke machine moves to its next victim

OOC: The Karaoke machine is awake. I'm going to set up threads for others to sing and to watch in horror. Open to any reactions or to make your characters sing whether they want to or not. Tag in wherever works. And open for ages. Link in post leads to a video of Bruce Springsteen singing.

“But there are still ones fighting?” That must be tricky for this omnic to deal with.

Bastion finds a blank sport on the whiteboard. 'Some countries allow omnics to serve in the military, and some started attacking during the war and never stopped. So, yes, but not all in the same way.'

"That must make things difficult for you, but it sounds like from what you said before, you have a team to help."

Bastion nods, and erases everything but the drawing from the whiteboard. 'Correct. It's useful to know people who can verify that I'm not going to shoot everyone I meet.'

"I do that for Kay," Which can be hard, he knows what an asset Kay is for the Rebellion.

'It sounds like we have a lot in common.'

"I think you do," Though their approaches are different.

The conversation hits a lull there, which means there's nothing to distract the two of them from Daniel's singing in the background. The machine's found another victim.
