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]

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

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

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

Door just sticks her tongue out, because it's not like she can say anything softer than that. Though at this point her throat is scratchy enough that she'd try.

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

Jo just snickered and stuck her tongue back out at Door.

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

Which just starts the giggling up again.

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

By this point Jo was giggling so hard, she had to sit down rather than risk falling off the stage.

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

I can...lick her faster than a flicker? Door's sort of forgotten the words a bit, yes.

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

Jo was barely able to stop laughing long enough to sing I can do her quicker and I'll keep her knickers

Yet another reason the karaoke machine at Harvelle's had a very short tenure.

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

Door stares, and then just bursts into outright snorts.

I can open any -- [FOR SOME REASON THE MICROPHONE EXPERIENCES A HUGE, LOUD BURST OF FEEDBACK RIGHT ABOUT THEN]

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[wannabehunter]

Jo looked incredibly impressed. "Really? How?"

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Suddenly Lorne has leapt onto the stage. "Fantastic kids! Yes! Kids! For a FAMILY show! Yes! Everyone give it up for Joey and Doorknob!"

Re: Sing: [1/19]

[notajar]

Door blinks at the interruption, then shrugs and goes with it.

"We've got a band name! We're called Concussion!"
