Music is Love [1/19]: Period Two

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

The introduction music begins as Lorne appears on the stage in a flash of light.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! CHILDREN OF ALL AGES! DEMONS WHO CAN CARRY A TUNE! THIS IS MUSIC IS LOVE!"

Lorne then turned and looked at the camera. "Ryan Seacrest? Eat your heart out."

"Today our class will be focusing on the theme of "Blood, Ammo and Ice" in honor of our guest judges Emily Frostburn and Wading Pool!"

Lorne then gestured over to the judges table where (most likely) they were wondering what the heck Lorne was thinking.

"Let's get this class started kids! Who's up first?"

[Waits for the OCD is up!]

[ETA: *facepalms* Credit for today's class theme goes to the wonder likeasponge whom I've forgotten to credit twice now. *hides from hair product packaging thrown in my general direction]

Jo looked much the same as Door, she stopped giggling once Door poked her and cleared her throat.

Anything you can do I can do better,
I can do anything better than you

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

Door tries to make a shocked and argumentative face, but the snickers probably don't help carry that across well.

No, you can't!

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

Jo tried and failed to put on an arch expression and nodded a bit too vigorously.

Yes, I can!

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

No, you can't!

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

Yes, I can!

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

No, you Can't!

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

Yes, I can! Yes, I can!

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

Door rolls her eyes exaggeratedly....and almost stumbles off the stage.

Anything you can be, I can be greater.
Sooner or later, I'm greater than you!

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

Jo lunged towards Door trying to keep her on the stage.

No, you're not!

And then they sang the chorus in a manner that was even dorkier and louder than the last time, yet somehow more entertaining than, for instance, reading about it would be.

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

Door rights herself, clinging onto Jo for a second, then lets go and pretends to dust herself off like a cat who TOTALLY MEANT TO DO THAT.

She points at Jo, then mimes firing a gun into the air.

I can shoot a partridge with a single cartridge!

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

Speaking of, Jo frowned and wondered what happened to her shotgun.

She put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow.

I can get a sparrow with a bow and arrow

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

If Door knew what Jo was thinking, she'd eep a little and in her head she'd practice pointing out that it's only slightly dented.... Lucky for her, she doesn't.

So she just crosses her arms and sings I can live on bread and cheese!

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

Jo seemed might unimpressed by this claim.

And only on that?

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

Yes!

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

So can a rat!

Then she made little squeaking noises.

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

Door blinks. "You just said you like swimming in moldy soup." She squeaks back the correct translation of 'So can a rat.'

Then she turns to the audience.

"While I have your attention, I'd like to point out that while rats are very amazing and adaptable creatures and can live on bread and cheese, it's hardly a proper diet for them. They like vegetables, oats, seeds, yoghurt drops, and bits of coconut Bounty Bars." She tilts her head. "So do I, actually."

Then she bows. "Thank you; this has been the boring educational portion of our performance. We now return you to the silly song, already in progress."

Any note you can reach, I can go ^higher!

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

^{I can sing anything higher than you!}

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

Door squeaks the response in rat.

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

Never one to be deterred, Jo sung her response even higher than before.

It was possible that several of the windows in the classroom now had cracks.

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

Door turns to the audience. "You really don't want to know what that means in rat."

...Then she screams into the microphone.

She has a remarkable scream: it can, with no artificial assistance, go through your head like a new power drill with a bone-saw attachment. And amplified, it is simply a paragraph taken directly from canon and transposed into present-tense unearthly.

The torch goes out in the Statue of Liberty, and birds in Australia randomly start moulting.

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

Jo staggered and shook her head. "You didn't do that last night not dirty."

Rather than try and top that, she launched into the next verse.

Anything you can buy I can buy cheaper
I can buy anything cheaper than you

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

Door takes a breath and coughs.

A lot.

It's safe to say her sinuses are probably clear now too.

Nobody said pulling off that scream was without a price.

Fifty cents! she croaks.

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

Jo pointed at a random audience member and made the international sign for "Water, now", then pointed to Door.

Forty cents!

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

Door just croaks, "SOLD!" and rushes offstage to grab the nearest offered water glass.

Half of which she pours down her throat and half of which she splashes on her face.

When she makes it back up onto the stage, there's water dripping from her hair, but she looks.... well, fractionally more awake.

Anything you can say, I can say softer.... she whispers into the microphone.

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

Jo just mouthed her next line.

I can say anything softer than you
