A large banner is posted on the roof of Caritas saying:


Tonight!
The Wonderful Illusions of:
GOB!

Ladies and Gentlemen..... GOB!

The Zombie band begins to play "The Final Countdown"

Re: Ladies and Gentlemen..... GOB!

When the music began, GOB walked out onto the stage and stopped. He was amazed to see anyone in the audience. It had been weeks since anyone was actually in the audience. After a moment, he began to bounce with the music, getting into the act a bit cautiously.

He bounced around stage waving his arms. Suddenly he had some cards. Suddenly he had flung the cards into the audience. He walked across stage the other way and pulled a chain of handkerchiefs out of his sleeve, only to throw it into the audience as well.

Finally he walked to the the front of the stage, went down on one knee, cupped his hands together, and gazed up at the lights. He pulled his hands apart and from a sudden cloud of smoke flew a single dove.

It was the same exact thing that he had been doing for weeks, but he seemed to do it a bit better this week for some reason.

He then motioned for Tino to bring out a large, fake-ancient-looking box, and cued the band to play a little more quietly. "People!" He said into a microphone. "Tonight I present to you no mere box. This illusion will boggle your mind. It will make you fear for your existence! This is a cursed casket that is home to a Mayan ghost. Who knows what will happen when you enter... The Aztec Tomb!" He gestured dramatically to the Tomb itself, then said into the mic, "I need a volunteer to braze the Tomb! Who will step up?"

Angel watched the entire introduction completely enraptured. When GOB asked for volunteers Angel's hand immediately shot up so fast a mortal probably wouldn't have been able to track the movement.

Quinn's just gonna watch, kthx.

Bridge watches as GOB's show begins, but as soon as the call for volunteers goes out, he immediately looks away from the stage and tries to shrink down into his seat.

Yuffie is totally just watching. Because she likes to watch.

Rose walks in with Victor and sits down as the magic show gets started.

Bar: 1/6

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Get your drinks!

Re: Bar: 1/6

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica arrives at work after an incredibly wacky day some of which is still being played, hoping that tonight goes smoothy.

Re: Lounge: 1/6

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi rushes into the bar and hopes she's not late for the show.

She orders a sarsaparilla (with umbrella), waves to Lorne if he's looking, and goes to mingle.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

After the show (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomtownies/513327.html?thread=19983663#t19983663) Angel goes to the bar. He doesn't really need a drink, but he's hoping to get a chance to thank GOB when he's done.

He also keeps an eye out for any unfamiliar faces.

Nadia very nearly stalked into the bar, but managed to restrain herself just a little. She pondered a beer, but decided that wouldn't get her drunk nearly fast enough. She signaled to the green guy--what was his name? Thorn?--and hoped he'd hurry. She wanted to get something to drink before meeting Sydney at her dorm.

"Hi I'm - uh -uh" Blair stuttered to a stop. Green? Oh well, couldn't be weirder than...oh hell, he didn't even know anymore. Blair muttered under his breath, "let it go" and then bounced. "I'm Blair Sandburg. How was the magic? Can I have a water, please?"

Lounge: 1/6

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Sit and converse...

Re: Lounge: 1/6

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel got a table, trying to pick one that had enough room for the people he invited. He ordered a drink, then kept his eye on the door for both familiar and unfamiliar faces.

Re: Lounge: 1/6

[sooo_cute]

For the second time in two days, Quinn is at Caritas, looking slightly freaked out. The phone? Is definitely at home.

Re: Lounge: 1/6

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

After about 20 minutes of trying to *find* the place, Yuffie had reached Caritas. She had seen the posters for the magic show and figured it was better the sitting in her room. She looked around to see if there was anyone she actually knew around- it would majorly suck to sit alone

Re: Lounge: 1/6

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

In an attempt to avoid the strange calls which have been plaguing her, for reasons she can't quite comprehend, Mac decides that the best course of action is to get out.

A magic show? Seems innocent enough. Not seeing anyone she recognises in the lounge itself she takes herself off to a seat near the side.

After singing a little ABBA (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomtownies/513327.html?thread=19998255#t19998255), Cordy sat down at an empty table, watching the people. Sure, she knew a few of them, but she could be a little shy, especially after just meeting someone.

She sipped her drink, hoping someone would come to her.

Stage: 1/6

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Sing...

Re: Stage: 1/6

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

[this is before she talks to Mac, but after she talks to Cordy]

Veronica takes the stage and gives Logan a pointed look before she starts singing.

Kiss today goodbye,
The sweetness and the sorrow.
Wish me luck, the same to you.
But I can't regret
What I did for love, what I did for love.

Look my eyes are dry.
The gift was ours to borrow.
It's as if we always knew,
And I won't forget what I did for love,
What I did for love.

Gone,
Love is never gone.
As we travel on,
Love's what we'll remember.
Kiss today goodbye,
And point me toward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for
Love

What I did for love
What I did for... love
Love is never gone
As we travel one
Love's what we'll remember

Kiss today goodbye.
And point me toward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love.
What I did for love.
What I did for love

[[I just can't resist the ABBA!]]

Cordelia decides that there's no better way to make friends than to get up in front of them and sing a silly song. So she does.


Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando

Now we're old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...

Pippi does love to sing...


You keep saying you've got something for me.
something you call love, but confess.
You've been messin' where you shouldn't have been a messin'
and now someone else is gettin' all your best.

These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

You keep lying, when you oughta be truthin'
and you keep losin' when you oughta not bet.
You keep samin' when you oughta be changin'.
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet.

These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

You keep playin' where you shouldn't be playin
and you keep thinkin' that you´ll never get burnt.
Ha! I just found me a brand new box of matches yeah
and what he know you ain't HAD time to learn.

Are you ready boots? Start walkin'!

"Well, I know what I'm doing the nest time I'm bored, then. thanks." Yuffie grins.

Pippi's pocket starts making a noise that sounds strangely like her and sever strangers yelling "OSCAR! OSCAR! COME AND GET THE TREASURE OSCAR!" which turns out to be her new cel phone. She walks out side to take the call (http://www.livejournal.com/users/strongestgirl/975.html?thread=3279#t3279) dispite the fun and excitement of Caritas.

"What an extra-ordinary day."

She says as she starts dialing.
