Rock Band Party, Tuesday Evening, First Floor Rec Room

Karla and Warren had celebrated their return to their proper forms in the way that many teenagers would find appropriate: they'd headed back to the modern mainland, found a toy store, and bought a gaming system (or three). Along with the games they bought to go along with said system, they also picked up a few guitars, a keyboard, a drum set, and two microphones.

Once back in the rec room, the rest of the afternoon had been spent setting up the systems and buying every single song available for the game. Waiting for them to finish downloading actually took longer than the initial setting up, even taking in Karla's attempts to 'help'.

But now the system was set up, the songs were ready, and the instruments prepared.

Fandom High? Get ready to rock.

[Open for anyone who wants to play. [livejournal.com profile] not_a_parakeet modded to an ungodly degree with permission! Just a warning about SP and Karla's threads--I will be AFK all day, but if you're willing to wait until Thursday that's fine by me.]

"We're playing a video game!" Karla announced, giving Alexander a wave. "But I guess you can also even learn to play these instruments if you play a special part of the game."

But they weren't doing that, oh no. Karla was having enough trouble convincing Warren to sing.

"Wanna play?"

"Learn to play via a video game?" asked Alexander with curiosity, but he laughed; a bit of frivolity would be quite welcome with the presence of the cat statue, though he wondered if he should set it aside. "I think I might like to give it a try, yes. I should think I'd be a bit of a spoilsport if I didn't."

"We'd all make the saddest faces at you if you didn't," Karla informed him, demonstrating such a face. "And assume you didn't like us. You wouldn't want that, now would you?"

Curse blonde and their sad faces, with their strange magical power to make him do things! They had to have special meetings where they rehearsed, or something.

So it was a good thing he already planned on participating. He had been in Glee Club. This would be nothing.

"Perish the thought!" Alexander insisted. "I will sing, do not worry. Assuming, of course, that you will be doing the same, Karla."

Karla held up the second microphone and offered it to him. "Of course! Not that I know many of the songs on the game."

Which would probably also be a problem for Alexander, which put them in the same boat, at least.

"Gentleman's choice?"

"We shall have to be content to share that handicap, then," Alexander admitted, "though I suppose Glee Club had given me at least a little more knowledge."

Which meant his exposure to music had gone hand-in-hand with Ariel's tastes.

But he had the microphone and then looked at the screen with a bit of confusion. "I trust you know how to actually maneuver the game to choose a song?"

Computer class had done nothing for Alexander. NOTHING.

"I do!" Karla said proudly.

...But only because Warren had spent a painstaking fifteen minutes figuring them out with her.

Karla got them to the song-selection page and then began to slowly scroll down. "Stop me when you find one you like."

"There (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfUYuIVbFg0)," Alexander said, grinning as he saw a song crop up that might be good for both of them to sing since they both had microphone.

And one thing you learned out of being in Glee Club was every Journey song known to man. It was in the rules.

"I actually know this one!" Karla said excitedly. "It was on the ipod Dinah gave me!"

Though she doubted she'd find a version of her friend singing Que Sera Sera on this game, sadly.

"Harmony or melody, Alexander?"

"Gentleman's choice on the song," Alexander offered, "so lady's choice on that."

"I'm going to have to claim melody then," Karla decided. "Since I only barely know the song as it is. I'll sound slightly less foolish on melody."

A little bit of musical introduction and then Karla lifted up the microphone and sang, "Just a small town girl...living in a lonely world...she took the midnight train going aaaanyyywheeere..."

This song was absolutely made for these sorts of things. Even if Alexander wanted to be guarded about his singing, once he started, there was no holding back.

"Just a city boy...born and raised in South De-troi-oit; he took the midnight train going aaaaannnnyyyyywheeeeeeere."

"A singer in a smokey room!"

This really was an amazingly fun song to sing. Gold star, Alexander.
