The Lounge

Sit! Snark! Smooch!

Re: The Lounge

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

After promising Angel to sing earlier this morning, John slips inside Caritas and takes a seat in the lounge area. He's got isntructions not to sing until his friends get here so he'll just be sitting here, gathering up his courage.

Logan leads Allie into the lounge, looking around. "This place is awesome! I can't believe I haven't dragged you here before now," he says, putting his arm around her shoulder.

Piper wanders into Caritas, hoping Veronica doesn't try to talk her into singing again.

Krycek wanders into Caritas with Jake, mostly on a whim and because both players are on in the evening, amazingly, and they both take a seat in the lounge area. "I haven't heard anything about this place," he says to Jake, looking around curiously. "You?"

Having gotten Lee's message, Kara walks into Caritas and scans the room.

Vala wanders into the lounge, an adorable wolf puppy in her arms.

The Bar

Get your drink on!

Re: The Bar

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige walks towards the bar, she has her I.D just in case, she can't stand staying in her room for a monet longer.

"Double vodka and diet coke please," she says with what she hopes is a smile, but given her day it's unlikely

Re: The Bar

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She slips into a seat at the bar. Tino slides her a whiskey sour with extra cherries, and she slips him her credit card. And she drinks.]


((for timeline purposes, she comes in with Angel after 8))

Re: The Bar

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

After a long trip back from The City, The Tick wandered into Caritas still carrying his duffle bag. He ordered a milk in a tall glass from Tino and was somewhat saddened by the lack of whimsical umbrellas in the drink.

"Jarod gives umbrellas," he mumbled to himself.

[OOC: Lorne-mun, this isn't the visit we talked about or anything. It's strictly for a drink.]

Re: The Bar

[marieann-d.livejournal.com]

Rogue comes in and slides behind the bar. "Hey Lorne."

[[And mun had real work tonight, as pointless as that was.]]

The Stage

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Sing a song!

Re: The Stage

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica walks up to the stage.

"All right," she says. "Since no one seems to want to go first. I'll kick things off."

The music starts and she sings:

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
of what I need

[Chorus]

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

[Chorus]

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind end the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

Re: The Stage

Logan jumps up after Veronica, and dedicates his song to Allie, making sure to point her out so everyone can stare at her.

We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside

Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that’s why they say

Chorus:
Every rose has it’s thorn
Just like every night has it’s dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has it’s thorn

Yeah it does

I listen to our favorite song
Playing on the radio
Hear the dj say loves a game of easy come and
Easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you’d be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow
I guess

Chorus

Though it’s been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains

Solo

I know I could have saved a love that night
If I’d known what to say
Instead of makin’ love
We both made our separate ways

But now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
I guess

Chorus

Totally embarrassed by Logan, but determined to uphold her end of the bargain, Allie walks up to the stage.

She sings softly, but well.

I'm not quite sure what's goin' on, but all through and all night long,
I've been thinkin' about you,
I've been thinkin' about you.

The look in your eyes when you smile that way,
the sound of your voice sayin' my name.
I've been thinkin' about you,
just keep thinkin' about you.

This single minded fascination I've got,
do you call it love? If you don't then what?
All I know is I don't know what you've done,
and this train of thought ain't about to jump the track that it's on.

In the back of my mind, there's a secret place.
But the whole world knows by the smile on my face,
that I've been thinkin' about you.
Can't stop thinkin' about you.

I know it's crazy, callin' you this late,
When the only thing I wanted to say is that
I've been thinkin' about you,
Oh, just keep thinkin' about you.

Oh, can't stop thinkin about you.
I'm always thinkin' about you...

Lorne takes the stage

The band starts playing a familiar Steve Miller tune


Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me maurice
Cause I speak of the pompitous of love

People talk about me, baby
Say I’m doin’ you wrong, doin’ you wrong
Well, don’t you worry baby
Don’t worry
Cause I’m right here, right here, right here, right here at home

Cause I’m a picker
I’m a grinner
I’m a lover
And I’m a sinner
I play my music in the sun

I’m a joker
I’m a smoker
I’m a midnight toker
I sure don’t want to hurt no one

I’m a picker
I’m a grinner
I’m a lover
And I’m a sinner
I play my music in the sun

I’m a joker
I’m a smoker
I’m a midnight toker
I get my lovin’ on the run
Wooo wooooo

You’re the cutest thing
That I ever did see
I really love your peaches
Want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooo-eee baby, I’ll sure show you a good time

Cause I’m a picker
I’m a grinner
I’m a lover
And I’m a sinner
I play my music in the sun

I’m a joker
I’m a smoker
I’m a midnight toker
I get my lovin’ on the run

I’m a picker
I’m a grinner
I’m a lover
And I’m a sinner
I play my music in the sun

I’m a joker
I’m a smoker
I’m a midnight toker
I sure don’t want to hurt no one

Wooo woooo

People keep talking about me baby
They say I’m doin’ you wrong
Well don’t you worry, don’t worry, no don’t worry mama
Cause I’m right here at home

You’re the cutest thing I ever did see
Really love your peaches want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Come on baby and I’ll show you a good time

After promising to sing and then getting dared to...accompany the song, John takes the stage slowly. As his song of choice starts up, John starts moonwalking across the stage, making wild flaily *fingerwiggle buttery* hand gestures on the up beats and just singing horribly bad.

I’d drive a million miles
To be with you tonight
So if you’re feeling low
Turn up your radio
The words we use are strong
They make reality
But now the music’s on
Oh baby dance with me

Rip it up - move down
Rip it up - move it down to the ground
Rip it up - cool down
Rip it up - and get the feeling not the word

Oh everybody have fun tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody wang chung tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody wang chung tonight
Everybody have fun

Deep in the world tonight
Our hearts beat safe and sound
I’ll hold you so close
Just let yourself go down

Rip it up - move down
Rip it up - move it down to the ground
Rip it up - cool down
Rip it up - get the feeling not the word

Oh everybody have fun tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody wang chung tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody wang chung tonight
Everybody have fun

On the edge of oblivion
All the world is babylon
And all the love and everyone
A ship of fools sailing on

Across the nation, around the world
Everybody have fun tonight
A celebration so spread the word

Oh everybody have fun tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody wang chung tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody wang chung tonight
Everybody have fun

Callisto, looking rather pinker than usual takes the stage, unfortunately she's a bit too flustered to notice she pointed to the wrong song, and instead of "Yellow Submarine" the band play "I Touch Myself" By The Divinyls.

I love myself
I want you to love me
When I´m feeling down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me
I don´t want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don´t want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You´re the one who makes me happy honey
You´re the sun who makes me shine
When you´re around I´m always laughing
I want to make you mine
I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you
I get down on my knees
I´d do anything for you
I don´t want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don´t want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
I want you
I don´t want anybody else
And when I think about you I touch myself
Ooh, oooh, oooooh, aaaaaah

Vala wanders up onto the stage, The CamWolf Puppy in her arms. He struggles a little, but she hushes him, reminding him this is necessary. and maybe scritching his ear enough to distract him

Then she sets him down, center stage, adjusts the mic down to about a foot off the floor, tips the karoke screen so he can see it, and points the band to the most appropriate looking song.

Then she steps back...

This is going out to my hero of the night. Thank you Angel.

I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into

Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
you made me so happy, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
I need you today, oh Mandy

I'm standing on the edge of time
I Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

Yesterday's a dream I face the morning
Crying on the breeze
the pain is calling, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

Tom Servo is a regular Karaoke Junkie. He takes the stage, clears his shiny metal throat, and sings. Cheap Trick is teh awesome, after all.

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch"
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away

Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things"
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines"
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away

"Thank you, thank you. Anybody wanting an encore? I can do encores. I really love to do encores. Anyone? Bueller?"

For Wang Chung...

Lorne sits at the bar waiting for John. He has a drink waiting for him.

Re: For Wang Chung...

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John slips offstage, blushing red and sits down near Lorne. "Tougher then I thought it would be."

"Bridge Carson!" Bridge says and sticks out a- gloved, thankyouverymuch- hand.

"Space Patrol Delta." Bridge shrugs. "We patrol space a lot. I think the 'Delta' is because we usually have four active Ranger squads."
