"Let's face it, folks. Mistakes happen," said Mike, stepping out onto the stage. He turned on his microphone, tapped it, frowned, then started waving it around. "For example, you may start singing, only to find that the microphone is turned off, or you get feedback..." Here, he started waving the microphone around, trying to get feedback. There was only silence. "Or maybe you're trying to get feedback on purpose, and nothing happens," he continued, tossing the microphone in the air.

From the DJ booth, a voice shouted, "Sir, you're not allowed to throw the microphone!"

Mike grinned. "Or you get yelled at by the club's staff because they don't understand what it's like to be in the moment," he added. "Either way, something is bound to go wrong one day. How you bounce back from public humiliation can reflect more on your performance than how well you sing. Today, we're going to take the 'bounce' part seriously." Mike put the microphone back on its stand and turned as if he was exiting the stage, but his foot got wrapped up in the microphone cord. He fell flat on his face, but the stage floor transformed into a soft, cushy surface that just let him bounce around for a while.

Once he stood back up, he held his arms out triumphantly and took a bow. "Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. Man, I love the Danger Room!" he said. "We're all going to practice falling flat on our faces and getting back up. Just remember to smile and have fun with it!"

[~~Please wait for the~~ OCD is up! ETA: And if you want to sing after falling on stage, go ahead.]

With embarrassment!

The holographic wait staff are there to serve non-alcoholic drinks while you watch Mike fall on his face.

She sipped something fruity while she laughed at Mike.

The holographic audience is programmed to cheer for everyone. However, Mike didn't have as much time to work on new audience members, so they're just repeats from his other Danger Room simulations.

Mitch wasn't watching the show. He was too busy flirting with the waitresses.

Nessa was politely applauding for everyone.

Guess who got invited to check out another class?

Practice falling on your face and getting up. The stage floor is programmed to be soft and rubbery so no one gets hurt, and the holographic audience will applaud your every move.

This was harder than Amber thought it would be. To willingly fall on your face took great effort. She managed to do it a couple times, laughing herself silly while she did it.

It was, however, embarrassing.

Yes, he has a bar to sit at after class in his simulation. However, the bar only serves non-alcoholic drinks, so he's sipping a bottled water while watching Nessa and Madame Presley glaring at each other.

I'm having way too much fun with this.
