[VIDEO] It's my birthday and I'll break your eardrums if I want to.

Well babes, it looks like Michel's birthday is today and he's turning 17! And considering that's not exactly something any of you would know, he doesn't mind telling you himself! [Because he can, and he likes to show off.

It's going to be quite lonely without the rest of his friends or Miyabi to celebrate, truthfully. But he's intent on making the most of it.]

So! He requires that you share your secrets and tell him the finest Karaoke establishment you've discovered that you think the city has to offer! Nothing that would be illegal of course...besides he doesn't drink and smoke anyway, but he's sure that there's bound to be something quite musically inspiring in Hinoto-Ri!

Man, I don't know of any karaoke bars but I'd love to find one, myself!

*Oh my, a girl.*

I can't say I've been karaoke, but I'm betting the demon operated ones are crazy.

"Nothing illegal" crosses out "anything worth the time."

_{[..okay, she's just teasing, but really. 17 years old and Michel's following the letter of the law?]}

Karaoke?

[The word sounds familiar, and maybe she has seen a few around the city but it would help to know what one is right?]

If I get more info, I'll be sure to let you know!

Oh! Happy birthday!

I hadn't even thought to look for karaoke places here... Oh, I'd probably get too embarrassed in a big group... [BLATANT LIES]

Wait, are we talking in person^3.

[. . . . . . . . .

Well, it is his birthday.]

I haven't entered the establishment, but--I did see one that seemed promising, while I was walking about. [Now for the embarrassing part, admitting where she's found one...] Ride the tram to the Taurus district, get off at the third stop, and walk west two blocks. It will be on the left side, towards the end of the street, with a large neon sign on the front. It's called, The Good, the Bad, & the Off-Key.

...yeah probably. Not too sure if that's a good idea or not...

[When you've been chased by demonic toilet bowls, after all...]

[HE LEAD BE EXAMPLE. Granted he gave up being boss but...STILL BY EXAMPLE!]

Michel doesn't need that stuff when he's got Music, Art and Karaoke!

Art isn't always on the side of the Law, you know. What kind of art do you do?

_{[just this face forever]}

You were given life today, Eikichi-san? [ What do humans say in this situation again... Cheerfully; ] Then congratulations on living for seventeen years.

[ Yes, that was totally the right thing to say. He should pat himself on the back. Pharos' idea of him saying "happy birthday dude". Moving on! ]

Karaoke?

[ That's what his friend(s) did to ~~boost their stats~~ as a hobby when they weren't visiting the tower of demise, right? That did mean it had enough merit for him to experience personally? He's curious as a default, so this interests him. ]

[He grins.]

It's singing, babe! Usually with friends, the more, the better!

I haven't been to karaoke here yet, but --

[We need to re-bond, right?

She smiles.]

Mind if I join you?

Oh. Yeah. I keep forgetting not everyone likes demons like I do...

I know not what this 'Karaoke' is, but I must tell you:

Your hair is beautiful. It is so vibrant...!

Well it depends if they established a contact with me or not, personally...

All sorts of mediums. Never was great with sculpting. I specialize in portraits...

[see that might have worked with someone else, but one of Eikichi's canon specialties is being able to tell when people are lying. Ergo, look at him on your video screen, giving you a slight doubtful look.]

Are you sure about that?

[-!! ... Fold, or double down? Fold, or double down?]

Um, well... if you watched too intensely, I definitely would... [technically true]

...yes?

[What.]

[Don't worry about it Eikichi's not one to judge! He'll just think of terrible things, that's all.]

Hmmm that does sound promising...[Strange name but...]...how about it? Would you accompany Michel there? Perhaps we could go an entire group together!

[Hey it was more than acceptable. Although where you thinking more like this?]

Yeah! Singing with a group of friends. It's fun...especially when Michel is involved!

That shouldn't even be a question when you're involved! You'll get VIP treatment as far as Michel is concerned!

[SLAM. RIGHT INTO EIKICHI'S EGO.]

Babe, I'm glad you noticed!

It is difficult not to notice! You have colour coded your make up and clothes magnificently as well! How did you get your hair like that? I am most intrigued!

[Anant looks as excitable as a puppy. If there was one thing they liked more than humans, it was brightly coloured, passionate humans!

So prepare for an all you can eat buffet of praise and compliments, Eikichi's Ego!]

[ ... Pretty much, now that one thinks about it. ]

Really? [ Friends. Friends are important. He would like to make more of them. Egro, coming along and having 'fun' with other people, would help him make friends? ] May I come along then... and why are you referring to yourself by the incorrect name?

[ Pharos doesn't understand why the narcissistic man is suddenly talking in third person either. ]

[No, no, no! She was just curious about the City, that's all! She took a wrong stop off the tram! Once she got there, she had to verify that it was a den of sin!! THIS IS ALL JUST AN ACTIONTAG MISUNDERSTANDING...]

You'd like me to come with you? Why? [Cloche thinks over the prospect. She's not sure what she thinks of going out with a bunch of strangers, but...

The prospect of singing--just for the fun of it!--is intriguing to her.] Well, I could at least accompany you to the shop. It would be a shame if you couldn't find it.

"'Established a contact'?"

You're talking about yourself, right? Using your own name. Ergo, person^3, yoctogram.

[OH GOD. HE'S ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.]

I believe I saw one or two in the Virgo Ward.

Happy Birthday.

...I don't know about the finest Karaoke establishment, but the one I like best so far is The Good, The Bad and The Off-Key. ... they have good rates and clean rooms. [ And they didn't get mad when he fell asleep in the room he was using by himself. ]

Thanks babe, someone else suggested that too!

Do you know what's the biggest room in that establishment, by any chance? If Michel's going Karaoke, everyone should come!

[YOU MEAN BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING, RIGHT?]

Thanks for the info chica! If Michel finds a good one, he'll let you know so you can come along!

[Oh gods, what have you unleashed?!]

Stage show quality makeup, baby!

>He goes on for a good twenty minutes about his hair and makeup process. It's quite...extensive.

Edited 2012-11-19 06:32 (UTC)

[NO. ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO USES A THIRD PERSON FOR NO REASON.]

I..... uh, look forward to it?

This might sound strange, chica, but a Slime demon taught us how to establish a contact with demons.

[He then goes off for a while about demonic contacts and how demons have emotions and depending on what you do, they might get angry, happy, interested or scared, it's a good time and lots of talking is involved.]

[What does she mean by that.]

Do you get nervous on the stage, babe?

Babe, you had Michel confused for a minute there!

Yes I'm talking about myself.

[Sometimes he switches to both it is terrible.]

I do not, I'm afraid. I've only used their small rooms.

[Anant listens attentively, even taking notes with the text function of his COMP. They didn't really understand much about hair and make up (they couldn't since, well, mask), but it was still a wonderful thing to watch someone chatter so passionately about something they enjoy!]

Interesting, interesting! You are such a passionate young man! Thank you for indulging my questions~

... Why.

[SHORT, SWEET, TO THE POINT]

Edited 2012-11-19 22:13 (UTC)

Happy birthday Michel.

Um, I've seen a few places on my way to work, but I don't know their opening times, so...

That's very sweet of you! I knew you were a true gentleman!

This doesn't sound strange to her. In fact, she's positively fascinated, hanging onto Eikichi's every word. She loves to talk shop, and somebody willing to explain their demon system to her is always a pleasure to find.

"I see... I had no idea demons could have such a system! In my world a Pixie told me to talk to demons, and, well, I went from there..." and she goes one to detail her adventures in recruitment, like the one time Cu Chulainn tried to woo an Archangel during the full moon and got a ton of money for it.

Thank you, chic--I mean Saori!

That's alright, I've gotten some pretty good suggestions so far.

[Should he even...]

...d'you feel like coming to Karaoke this weekend? It's more fun with a group than just alone!

I'd love to.

[Hmm...well last time she went to karaoke it was fun. Even if the results weren't pretty....Hmmm.]

Um...who else is going?

Oh, just... um... you know... Sometimes around... guys, you know? [Hiding in the refuge of "technically true"!] ... But I do like singing! [Bam! Truth! That's 100% truth, that's distracting right?]
