Hey everyone! This might sound a little out there, and I'm still new, but! I couldn't keep this to myself, not when it sounds like so much fun!

There's this place that does something called karaoke? Which from what get is where you go to a place, and they have all these songs that you can sing! And you can sing with other people too. Maybe you know the song, maybe you don't, but I think it's half the fun!

They do group discounts too! And they have liquor and food and stuff to help people keep singing.

So if we were to book a couple of nights from now...who'd want to come?!

Well I'm in. This sounds like endless entertainment.

[You know, in the form of seeing how many people can't carry a tune in a bucket, and how many others can't hold their liquor without needing one.]

[shockshot]

Great! It'll be good to see you again, Joseph!

[Can you tell she's excited? She's excited.]

[hamonfisted]

Oh yeah? Did you miss me much?

[Did she...]

[shockshot]

Maaaaybe~ it is nice to have a friendly face around!

[miraculo]

THIS IS A GREAT IDEA

i don't think my shinki even knows what karaoke is, so this should happen soon! sign us up!! [ Sorry Lu Meng. ] when is it?

[shockshot]

This'll be the great way to introduce them to it! Great! I'm thinking the 17th? It's close, but not too close!

[miraculo]

that's perfect!

my name is sanae, and my shinki's name is lu meng! we'll definitely be there :)

[shockshot]

Wonderful! I'll be happy to meet you both sanae :) I'm Masaki, nice to meet you!

[wadoichimonji]

You had me at liquor.

[shockshot]

Great! Looking forward to seeing you there!

[wadoichimonji]

Where, exactly, is there?

[shockshot]

Oh! It's Happy Beats, it's not far from the cat cafe Calico's? A couple blocks east?

I think there's a way to do the exact directions on your phone if you want me to do that, and I can give you the address!

It doesn't sound out there at all. It's definitely a good way to bond with people, and it's not as if you're going to be singing in front of a whole crowd of people. Most Japanese karaoke places have private rooms for groups, instead of an open space.

Even if you don't know everyone, it's just one group of people that'll sing along with you, instead of just you alone on a stage in front of strangers.

[shockshot]

Oh nice! Because I don't think everyone would want to be on a stage in front of people.

Some might! But in groups-I hope it'll promote friendship.

[socials]

No, I know quite a few people who would be pretty shy if you asked them to step up on a stage, whereas it doesn't bother me very much. [ Naoto, Homura... ]

It's a good way to break the awkward tension, I think, so there's a lot of opportunities for friendship with this idea.

[shockshot]

Yeah, standing up in front of people-that might be too much. I don't want to cause stress.

But yeah! I'm hoping that's what will happen. We need to work and play together, don't you think?

[thirdbeauty]

Wouldn't it be really embarrassing if you got a song you didn't know in front of a bunch of strangers?

[She wouldn't have replied at all if she wasn't feeling kind of drawn to this, though.]

[shockshot]

I think you can select the song? And there's words across the screens so you can give it a try?

But I've never done it before

So I know I might mess up, maybe even messing up now

But you don't have to either, it's supposed to be fun not scary

[thirdbeauty]

[Oh no, did she really sound that worried???]

I didn't mean that it would be scary! Just maybe a little embarrassing, if you don't know everyone.

I don't mind singing songs I know in front of people. I get the feeling I've done something like that before. And it is kind of fun...

Oh! I know about karaoke! It's really fun! If you don't mind, I'd like to come along.

I'll ask my shinki if he'd like to come too, if that's okay.

[shockshot]

Oh, wonderful! Yes, please come, and your shinki is welcome too! The more the merrier!

[thekillerwhale]

Thanks! I look forward to it! Hopefully he'll want to come, too.

[Spoiler alert: Haru won't want to come]

[purehonkproject]

Oh! I love singing! I'd love to come!!

[shockshot]

Great! See you there!

[purehonkproject]

Oh wait, I don't think I can drink.

Would that make it weird...?
