Caritas - Open [6/27]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica was still running on nerves and caffeine when she got to work. She was grateful to see Tino was back from wherever he'd been, though he snorted at her when she asked if he'd had a nice vacation.

Aaron hadn't appeared to her again since Anakin chased him off. She was hoping that was a good sign, even though Piper hadn't been able to help her.


[ETA: Since I've heard that a number of people are showing up tonight, I'm turning off notifications. If I miss a ping where you need me, let me know on AIM (veronicamarsFH) or in the OOC thread.]

The Stage [6/27]

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner boogied on up to the stage and had a word with the zombie band, which might have given him a look of "OMGWTF YOU ARE INSANE." But he was bound and determined that if this song was going to be stuck in his head, then by God he was going to make it get stuck in everyone else's head too. Honestly, that was his only motivation, but Conner after a couple of drinks was not exactly inclined to think things through.

He bopped his head along in spaztastic goofiness to the acoustic guitar intro and grabbed the mic. "And it goes like this," he said, and launched into the song.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I can't tell you why
But I can't stop thinking about you, baby
Oh yeah
Don't you think it's time
I walked around
every word you're saying
Oh yeah (yeah)

Trying hard to figure out
Tell me what it's all about
Cuz I don't want to freak you out
Freak you out
Freak you out

I want to know, know where you're at
I'm at the front but you're still at the back
Oh, can you tell me where it's at?
I gotta know, know where you're at
I'm all alone waiting for you to ask
Oh, can you tell me where, tell me where it's at?

It seems like when we talk
You haven't heard a single word I'm saying
Oh yeah
I'm over here so listen up
Sit back, tune in, pick it up
Yeah -- I'm just waiting here

Trying hard to figure out
Tell me what it's all about
Cuz I don't want to freak you out
Freak you out

I'm trying hard to figure out
Tell me what it's all about
What it's all about

Conner should never be allowed to play air guitar solo. This was quite possibly the most embarrassing thing ever.

I want to know
Know where you're at
I'm at the front
But you're still at the back
Oh, can you tell me where you're at
I gotta know
Know where you're at
I'm all alone waiting for you to ask
Oh, can you tell me where
Tell me where you're at?

Freak you out freak you out, freak you out, freak you out
Freak you out, freak you out, freak you out

Didn't I try to let you know?
Didn't I try to tell you so?
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I want to know
Know where you're at
I'm at the front
But you're still at the back
Oh, can you tell me where you're at
I gotta know
Know where you're at
I'm all alone waiting for you to ask
Oh, can you tell me where
Tell me where you're at?

Ever seen a zombie band singing "I want to know" as background vocals in a frighteningly peppy way? It might be a good thing to avoid if at all possible.

(I want to know) Can you tell me where it's at?
(I want to know) Can you tell me where it's at?
(I want to know) Can you tell me where it's at?
(I want to know) Can you tell me where it's at?
(I want to know) Tell me!

I want to know
Know where you're at
I'm at the front
But you're still at the back
Oh, can you tell me where you're at
I gotta know
Know where you're at
I'm all alone waiting for you to ask
Oh, can you tell me where
Tell me where you're at

Freak you out freak you out, freak you out, freak you out
Freak you out, freak you out, freak you out

As he headed off the stage, he thought it was probably a very good thing that Kira wasn't here to hear him slaughter one of her songs. Ptera-Scream or not, if she knew she'd find some way to make his brain explode.

What he didn't think of, though, was how horribly badly his song choice was going to be misinterpreted tonight, particularly given who he'd shown up with. Silly drunk Conner.

Blair took the stage bouncing, holding the microphone stand tightly. "Yay, this is a song that everyone can sing, yay!"

"Kumbaya!" Blair grinned out at the audience. "I got it right!"

"Kumbaya, my lord, Kumbayay
Kumyaba my lord, Kuymamba
Kubbyams motherfucker
O loooooord, Koomboobyay!"

"Okay, everyone join in!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter made his way up onto the stage with as much dignity as a drunken butler could muster, muttered his song request to the zombies, and launched into a rather embarrassing rendition of Anything Goes.

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows, anything
goes

Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words writing
prose
Anything goes

The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today
And black's white today
And
day's night today
When most guys today that women prize today
Are just silly gigolos

So though I'm
not a great romancer
I know that you're bound to answer
When I propose, anything goes

When Nadia told the Zombie band what she wanted, one of them rolled his eye. Or possibly his eye just kind of rolled. Who knew?

Either way, they started playing.

Once I was the Queen of Spain (now I eat humble pie)
Oh... my unspeakable life's been chequered (now I eat humble pie)
I'm telling you I was the Queen of Spain (now I eat humble pie)
And now I work at Empire Records

Royalty, lord it looked good on me
Buried in silk in the royal boudoir or going nuclear free
Or playing Crokinole with the Princess of Monaco
Telling my jokes to the OPEC leaders, getting it all on video

Once I was the Queen of Spain (now I eat humble pie)
A palatial palace, that was my home (now I eat humble pie)
I'm telling you I was the Queen of Spain (now I eat humble pie)
And now Pippi and I talk about the wee gnomes (once she was the Queen of Spain)

I can't wait, I'm lowering interest rates, my people say:
"Queen, how are you such a genius?
There's a roof overhead and food on our plates!"
It's laisez-faire, I don't even give a care
Let's make Friday part of the weekend
And give every new baby a chocolate eclair

Once I was the Queen of Spain (now I eat humble pie)
Hey Alberto! Hey Georgie! Got problems? You phone me (now I eat humble pie)
I'm telling you I was the Queen of Spain (now I eat humble pie)
Now my song at Caritas should win me a Tony (once she was the Queen of Spain)

Now some of you are probably wondering how I cam to be living in Fandom
after being royalty in Spain. Should I tell them, guys?

The zombies muttered something that might have been "Tell us, Queen."

You see late one night when the palace was asleep
Out of my royal chambers and into the garden I creep
And I wait till the appointed time, when the moon is lighting the pitch
At which point my peasant friend, who looks just like me
Arrives and we make a switch
Princess and pauper, junior and whopper
World made up of silver and copper
Out of my own volition, I took a change of position
So next time you drool in the pancake line
Remember, slower pancake's more luscious
The Queen of Spain never rushes!!!

Once I was the Queen of Spain (now I eat humble)
I was looking for off-handed ways to improve us (now I eat humble pie)
I'm telling you I was the Queen of Spain (now I eat humble pie)
And now I'm jamming here at Caritas! (once she was the Queen of Spain)

Seras bounced up to the stage and gave the band her request. She then grabbed the microphone and then and launced into about as good a Billy Idol impression as a youngish girl can do. Hamlet had said she might get to hear his 'Rebel Yell'.

Last night a little angel Came pumpin cross my floor
She said "Come on baby I got a licence for love
And if it expires pray help from above"


In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to be me babe
What set you free I need you hear by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"

Dean decided as he got up on the stage that if he was going to do this, he was going to try and make the best of it. But still, he was careful to announce before starting, "I just want everyone to know that this is the result of a bet and I do not now feel or have I ever felt like a woman. Just so that's clear." Then he launched into the song,

"I'm going out tonight-I'm feelin' alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Wanna make some noise-really raise my voice
Yeah, I wanna scream and shout
No inhibitions-make no conditions
Get a little outta line
I ain't gonna act politically correct
I only wanna have a good time

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun (fun, fun)

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts-short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction
Color my hair-do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!

The girls need a break-tonight we're gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don't need romance-we only wanna dance
We're gonna let our hair hang down

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun (fun, fun)

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts-short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction
Color my hair-do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!

I get totally crazy
Can you feel it
Come, come, come on baby
I feel like a woman"

Sam got up onto the stage and tried not to think about exactly how many people were there, watching. "I would just like to state for the record that this is also the result of a bet. If you're disturbed by this song, blame my brother." Then he started to sing,

Body...wanna feel my body?
Body...such a thrill my body
Body...wanna touch my body?
Body...it's too much my body
Check it out my body, body.
Don't you doubt my body, body.
talkin' bout my body, body,
check it out my body

Every man wants to be a macho macho man
to have the kind of body, always in demand
Jogging in the mornings, go man go
works out in the health spa, muscles glow
You can best believe that, he's a macho man
ready to get down with, anyone he can

Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Macho, macho man (macho man)
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! Ow....

Macho, macho man
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man (yeah, yeah)
I've got to be a macho!

Body, its so hot, my body,
Body, love to pop my body,
Body, love to please my body,
Body, don't you tease my body,
Body, you'll adore my body,
Body, come explore my body,
Body, made by God, my body,
Body, it's so good, my body

You can tell a macho, he has a funky walk
his western shirts and leather, always look so boss
Funky with his body, he's a king
call him Mister Eagle, dig his chains
You can best believe that, he's a macho man
likes to be the leader, he never dresses grand

Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Macho, macho man
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! (all right)

Macho, macho man (yeah, yeah)
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! All Right!

Ugh! Macho..baby!
Body, body, body wanna feel my body,
Body, body, body gonna thrill my body,
Body, body, body don'tcha stop my body,
Body, body, body it's so hot my body,

Every man ought to be a macho macho man,
To live a life of freedom, machos make a stand,
Have their own life style and ideals,
Possess the strength and confidence, life's a steal,
You can best believe that he's a macho man
He's a special person in anybody's land.

Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Macho, macho man (macho man)
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! (dig the hair on my chest)

Macho, macho man (see my big thick mustache)
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! (Dig broad shoulders)

Macho, macho man (dig my muscles!)
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho!

Macho, macho man
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! HEY!

Seras moseyed up onto the stage, gave the band her request and announced, "I'd like to dedicate this homage to the Fab Four to Mortimer, my other favourite beetle."

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right

Nadia got to Caritas a bit early for Operation Get Blair Drunk and had a seat at the bar. She hoped Veronica had gotten her message, but wasn't sure how to bring it up, so she just waved.

Re: The Bar [6/27]

Blair arrived carrying a video camera, a stack of notebooks and a very bouncy attitude.

Piper wandered into Caritas because she wanted to keep an eye on Veronica. She was worried about her. "Hey."

Bel wandered into Caritas in need of a good stiff drink.

Maybe alcohol would make Jack leave him alone for a while.

Archie walked into Caritas, glaring occasionally over his shoulder as if something was following him, and sat down at the bar.

::"Liquor won't make me go away, boy. You know you've tried that before."::

"And I'll try it again," he snapped, flinching away from an invisible hand before he collected himself and looked at Veronica. "Hello, Veronica."

"Tell me again why we're here?" Conner grumbled, stalking into the bar and plunking himself down on an empty stool in the corner.

"Hey roomie," Cally said, wandering up to the bar. "You doing okay?"

Jamie was covering the store, so Lucas decided to attempt to be social. He hadn't been to Caritas in awhile, it sounded like fun.

Re: The Bar [6/27]

[superartie]

Artie had been remiss in his duties guarding Caritas. So in he bounded.

With Mortimer, of course.

The poor bug still couldn't remember anything. It was a shame, really.

[landlord-quark.livejournal.com]

When Quark saw that the obnoxious blonde was behind the bar instead of the assinine balding man, he sat on the far end on got a drink from Tino.

He was still recovering from whatever had him down for the count Sunday, but he wasn't doing too poorly.

Kaylee showed up at Caritas because she was bored. Maybe she would even sing.

Yes, there will be ghosty hijinks at Caritas tonight.
