Karaoke Time!

*There is a karaoke machine in the bar. It is very large and very pink.

Therefore, Xander assumes that it must be evil.*

Wow ... didn't know they had an open mike night ...

*He approaches the karaoke machine slowly. It lights up and looks inviting-- as inviting as a possibly-evil-because-of-its-pinkness karaoke machine can be.*

Whoa!

James gives him a dubious look.

"A little paranoid, aren't you?"

Little does James know. He takes the microphone.

"I wonder if it knows any hymns . . ."

James gives him a rather puzzled look.

"Well," he says, patiently, "if it knows hymns, it can hardly be evil, can it? Let's see what it does if I key in Good King Wenceslas -"

James opens his mouth and starts belting.

"Good King Wenceslas looked down
On the Feast of Stephen . . .
"

He really has a very nice voice.

Okay - better than nice.

However, the smug look is less about than than about, 'see? Hymns! No evil!'

"When the snow lay roundabout . . .

It's a shame," James says, breaking off. "This song's really best with two."

The machine waits, expectantly, looking almost hurt.

"But see," James says earnestly, "it really can hardly be evil. It's nto done anything evil, has it?"

James looks terribly confused.

"I didn't know the Japanese made pop songs."

He perks up. "Here, I wonder if it does the Beatles!"

"So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green,
" James choruses happily. He is having the time of his life, and rather wonders where the Stantons could get one.

"And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submariiiine . . .
"

"And the baaaand begins to plaaaaay . . . you'renothalfbadyouknow We all live in a yellow submarine!"

"As we liiiive a life of eeeease

Sky of bluuuuue and sea of greeeen

"I told you," James says smugly, and gives the machine a friendly pat. "It does hymns and the Beatles. Can't be anything wrong with that."

"James Stanton," James says, with a grin, and sticks out a friendly hand. "You?"

[identity profile] sixth-son.livejournal.com 2005-03-16 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm from England," James says cheerfully. He hasn't quite gotten into the habit of putting his date after his name, yet. "Small town that you've most likely never heard of. You're American, aren't you?"
