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...]

That doesn't make any sense. If you're playing with fish they aren't dead, and most sushi is made with dead fish.

[ohgoodgrief]

But, er. You'd have to take them out of the water to play with them?

And then they die.

[inflictwounds]

Oooooh.

Okay, okay, maybe fish are a bad idea. But it's still better than cats!

[ohgoodgrief]

Maybe so...

Maybe we need some other animal entirely. A therapy chicken, maybe?

[inflictwounds]

Are chickens really that good? I mean, they can be pretty tasty, but. They're schemers.

[ohgoodgrief]

Hmm. They look fluffy and cute, though...

I haven't had one as a pet. Are they really schemers?

[He's getting another drink. It's necessary to continue this line of thought.]

[inflictwounds]

Lots of things are fluffy and cute but are actually terrible! That's like...everything in the Outlands!

[Another drink is a good idea, though.]

Most birds are schemers. That's a fact.

[It is not a fact.]

[ohgoodgrief]

Hmm, that's a good point. Though I met some ogres and trolls once. They weren't very fluffy or cute?

[He sips his fourth old fashioned, and contemplates.]

Maybe we should hire them to help avert Nightfall.

[inflictwounds]

Hire ogres and trolls?

[He contemplates this for a moment.]

I mean, I do think we need more help from the Outlands, but I dunno about ogres and trolls. Could probably get them and some more demons on our side if we tried.

[ohgoodgrief]

No, no! Hire birds!

[inflictwounds]

Ooooh. That makes more sense.

Do birds have a concept of money?

[ohgoodgrief]

Well... I've fed them bread crumbs.

Maybe they'll accept that as payment?

[inflictwounds]

So we're just...feeding them?

I mean, most people work so they can eat, so it's not the worst idea.

[ohgoodgrief]

Yes! And then the chickens are on our side! It can't go wrong!

[inflictwounds]

Well, it probably can, but it probably won't! Chances are good!
