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...]

[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!

[shockshot]

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

[wadoichimonji]

You had me at liquor.

[shockshot]

Great! Looking forward to seeing you there!

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.

[wadoichimonji]

Where, exactly, is there?

[miraculo]

that's perfect!

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

[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

[shockshot]

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

[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...

[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!

[shockshot]

Oh, oh good!

[What a relief. She didn't want to scare people, just have fun.]

Yeah! It's going to be a lot of fun, I think! A bunch of people singing and chatting and saying they like this song or that...do you want to come?

[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.

[thirdbeauty]

Would that be okay? I wouldn't want to be in the way or anything...

[shockshot]

Yeah, it'd be okay! You wouldn't be in the way at all!

[thirdbeauty]

Okay, then. I guess I could come!

Oh, and I'm Lightning-sama's shinki, Natsuru Senou. I don't think we've met. I'm still pretty new here...

[shockshot]

Ah! Lightning, I've met her, she was at the bakery! She was quite kind, even if I was being kind of weird.

Or really weird. But I'm new too, I only showed up like...barely a week ago? How about you?

[thirdbeauty]

Oh, you came to the shop? So you probably saw me! I was the girl advertising outside.

It's only been about a week for me too. We must have arrived at the same time.

[shockshot]

Yeah I did! I'm sorry I should have said hi!

I guess we did come at the same time then. How strange!

[thirdbeauty]

It's okay! I might have been busy talking to another customer.

It sounds like people always come in groups. I've met a bunch of other people who arrived on the same day. Both shinki and gods.
