Ishiyo blushed and sit the microphone back down, taking both a seat and a drink. "Well at least everyone learned not every Crane is born an artist." She laughs a little at her own expense.

Akihiko smiled in support, always a kindred spirit for self-deprecating humor. After a couple of drinks from his beer, the Lion pilot starts thinking about his next song, hoping to perform a little better with something more to his style.

Hyeon-ju laughed a little as well, softly and quietly.

"Still, no shame to sing with the voice you have when among your fellow pilots. Pilots get used to the embarrasing stuff, probably because being a pilot demands so much of us."

Shinjo Yul · **Posts:** 1219 **Joined:** Tue Aug 25, 2020 4:54 am

"And we all get it." Yul added. "Or, get each other. I mean, on some level, I think."

He took a deep breath. "Well... looks like it's my turn." Yul took the microphone, then paused for a few moments, considering. Finally he nodded, and, solemnly, pulled his aviators from his pocket, putting them on. "Now I'm ready." Pressing a few buttons, and what may have been a familiar tune fired up.

Yul's performance was not good. The most charitable word for it might have been enthusiastic. But it certainly was that, Yul putting his full body and voice into the performance.

"DANGER ZOOOOOONNNNNEE!" He yelled into the mic one last time as the song came to an end.

Ishiyo watched the performance with a neutral expression. It was clear to any who looked at her that...the Crane was trying not to laugh at the Shinjo's antics filled singing.

Akihiko can't help but sing along on the chorus of a near-anthem of starfighter pilots. Amid his own fun, he notices Ishiyo's restraint, and then turns to Hyeon-ju.

Utaku Hyeon-ju · **Posts:** 1511 **Joined:** Tue Aug 25, 2020 5:26 am

Hyeon-ju, while normally reserved, could not help herself either when Yul was singing a pretty classic tune. One she'd heard him do many times before. She was allowing herself to be a little more relaxed in the company of her fellow pilots, and singing along at the chorus parts.

As the song concluded, she gave the performance some applause. "The day that song is no longer on the karaoke lists is the day a part of you dies, Cricket," she ribbed her wingmate with some good-natured humor. It was probably the friendliest she had been with Yul in a long time.

Yul grinned, peeling off his aviators and putting them back in his pocket. "No way is that ever gonna happen. If it does, well, I'm just bringing my densai and a pair of speakers to karaoke." His voice was just a touch hoarse.

Picking up his beer, he downed the rest of it in a few gulps. "Alright, who's next?" He grinned, waving the microphone around. "If someone wants to do a duet, I'm suddenly feeling a lot better about it." Partially because he'd already wingmanned once, and partially because, well, drinking.

"I think I wanna try a solo," Hyeon-ju said, looking up from the menu of available songs. "If that's alright with everyone else?"

Shinjo Yul · **Posts:** 1219 **Joined:** Tue Aug 25, 2020 4:54 am

With a shrug, Yul flipped the microphone in his hand, offering it to Hyeon-ju.

Utaku Hyeon-ju · **Posts:** 1511 **Joined:** Tue Aug 25, 2020 5:26 am

"Thank you."

She cast a glance to the Firefly. "And then you're next, right Hotaru-san?"

Her selection flashed on screen, and the instrumentals began. It was an anime known for outrageous poses and manly men, particularly those of a remarkable bloodline battling evil across generations. It was considered to be very over the top and somewhat silly entertainment.

And the opening song Hyeon-ju had selected was originally sung by a man, but it was still a surprise that she made the effort at least to drop her voice a few octaves while singing with full enthusiasm, including the trademark poses at the start.

Akodo Akihiko · **Posts:** 439 **Joined:** Tue Aug 25, 2020 12:42 pm

The Lion grooves happily with Hyeon-ju's song, clapping and whistling at the end of her energetic performance. "Well done, Utaku-san."

Shinjo Yul · **Posts:** 1219 **Joined:** Tue Aug 25, 2020 4:54 am

Yul laughed and clapped as his wingmate finished. "As good as always, Wasp." He said raising his fist in another Unicorn-style cheer. He didn't like to admit it, but she did do a pretty good job with that song.

He nodded to Koseki. "Alright. You're up next." Yul grinned.

Utaku Hyeon-ju · **Posts:** 1511 **Joined:** Tue Aug 25, 2020 5:26 am

"Thank you, thank you," she gave a sheepish smile at the praise, but now she had at least joined Ishiyo and Yul in making a fool of herself solo as well.

The microphone was handed to Koseki, the only one who was still left to embarrass himself now.

Daidoji Ishiyo · **Posts:** 1326 **Joined:** Mon Aug 24, 2020 6:25 pm

Ishiyo smiled but still managed to keep from laughing, feeling it would be rude. Her eyes moved from one person to the next as she waited to see who would be next.

Hotaru Koseki · **Posts:** 548 **Joined:** Sat Aug 29, 2020 11:37 am

Koseki had been listening to the tracks and politely applauding where appropriate. Yul got a few cheers for his classic rendition of Danger Zone. As the sake flowed he realised it was past his turn so he walked up to the stage and picked out a solid track.

"Okay, my turn! Thanks everyone for your wonderful voices, now brace yourselves and prepare to rock..."

Quote:

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday, it seems we're wastin' away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I fly all night just to get back home

I'm a bushi, in a steel bird I fly
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
The people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the sochu that you drink
And times when you're all alone all you do is think

I'm a bushi, on a steel bird I fly
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
Wanted (wanted) dead or alive

Oh, and I fly!

Oh, and I'm a bushi, in a steel bird I fly
I'm wanted dead or alive

I fly this space
A load of missiles on my back
I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still, I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces
And I've rocked them all

I'm a bushi, in a steel bird I fly
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
I'm a bushi, I got the Fortunes on my side
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
And I fly, dead or alive
I still fly (I still fly) dead or alive
Dead or alive, dead or alive, dead or alive, dead or alive

Dead or Alive

Akihiko rocks along with Koseki's song, politely ignoring a couple missed notes and singing along on the chorus after he picks up the tune. By the end of the song, the Lion is overflowing with applause and praise: "Ah Hotaru-san, such a great song! Well done, well done," he says with sincerity.

Utaku Hyeon-ju · **Posts:** 1511 **Joined:** Tue Aug 25, 2020 5:26 am

Hyeon-ju was helping herself to some of the drinks and snacks as Koseki sang, though she joined in at some part of the chorus to keep the good mood going.

At the end, she joins in the applause. "Good choice of song. Have you done this much before?"

Hotaru Koseki · **Posts:** 548 **Joined:** Sat Aug 29, 2020 11:37 am

He offered a polite bow at the applause. "Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!"

As he grabbed another cup of sake he turned to look at the Utaku. "More than my fair share in the scenic mining bars of Firefly stations." He chuckled. "I'm told I have the voice of a drummer."
