Wastin' Away Again~

[ohgoodgrief]

Who: Teachers! TA's! RA's! Other graduate students! Other students who are crashing (or god help them, working there??)
When: March 8, 2019, in the evening.
Where: A karaoke bar in Soleil.
Warnings: Alcohol

Sometimes, after tests are done and mysteries uncovered, the teachers need to relax.

Which is why there is karaoke! The faculty of Daybreak Academy have converged, through random inspiration and not a terrible lot of planning, on one unsuspecting bar in Soleil on a Friday evening. A few drinks (or more!) are to be had; however, there is also a stage, with a microphone and a big screen -- which shows a music video for whatever song is on -- and the lyrics. A friendly little green ball bounces over them.

It is time to sing your heart out.

It is time... for karaoke.

THAT DOESN'T EVEN RHYME!

[ohgoodgrief]

IT RHYMES IF YOU TRY HARD ENOUGH!

[arcadianvampire]

THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED REEDUCATION ON THE SUBJECT OF EFFORT WHILE UNDER PRESSURE!

[ohgoodgrief]

[Yang shakes a fist on the stage.]

You give love a bad name!

[arcadianvampire]

Don't think I won't shoot you right through the heart! ....If I'd brought my gun!

[Does Val even own a gun...?]

Oh, but please! Don't stop now, we're having such a good time! We're having a ball!

[ohgoodgrief]

So I guess you would say you're not, Jamie, sir!

[He nods, proudly.]

Because you don't have a gun!

[arcadianvampire]

I may not, sir! But what I do have is a sword! So watch yourself!

A lunge and a feint, a parry too late! A cut to the chest and you’re down.

[ohgoodgrief]

[Yang pauses, trying to catch that last one, and then:]

...Black Sabbath?

[arcadianvampire]

[And just like that, Val calms down, seemingly completely diffused.]

Nah... Iron Maiden. ...'M pretty sure.

[ohgoodgrief]

Ah, heavy metal isn't my area of expertise, I'm afraid...

[He thinks Queen is.]

[arcadianvampire]

I would advise listening to them sometime... they are, as the kids are fond of saying? Quite "rad."

[Val no, please stop trying to sound cool like the kids.]

[ohgoodgrief]

I've never once done anything quite rad.

[arcadianvampire]

Now's a good a time as any to start! It's never too late to start being rad!

[Val, Val no.]

[ohgoodgrief]

How... how does that work? I didn't think you could just decide to be rad.
