ooc: OPEN LOG karaoke fun come join if you're inclined

[justicereigns]

Who: Anyone who feels like stopping by + Smoker
Where: Karaoke Bar on Shambun Island (Rinali's fall island) If you know OP canon songs, feel free to use them or drinking songs but I think it's safe to assume this bar gets other-world patrons so our world songs are a go for IC.
Why: Smoker is stuck waiting for an informant and I enjoy torturing him~ Also come sing karaoke at him. It's fun. I promise.
When: Sometime between August 30th and when he gets chibi'ed.
Rating: Well it's open so I'll edit if something happens. Feel free to do NC17 stuff with each other or something idek. I'll just stalk.



Smoker threw his head back on the edge of the red cushion of the booth seating, a small cloud of smoke hovering above his head in his irritation. Some idiot was blaring Jolly Roger and attempting to croon despite the drunk stupor giving the moron the wrong notes. Great. Just what he needed. His favorite song in the world. And here he'd been appreciating that he hadn't heard it since leaving Loguetown. So much for that, this was the 5th time tonight in the last three hours. If the marine informant didn't show up soon Captain Commodore Smoker was going to break some legs. In a more literal than luck sense.

"Another rum honey?" the blonde waitress asked with a soft smile despite the proximity to a No-Smoking area.

"Yeah that's fine, thanks," the marine growled. Drinking alone was fine with him but there wasn't much to remove the irritation of the singing other than alcohol. Probably why they HAD the karaoke at the bar. Great. He rubbed his temples and prayed for a change of pace in music selection.

"Well, better than thirty feet off the ground anyway," Phoenix replied, allowing himself to be pulled to a table. He told the waitress to bring him whatever her favorite was, not wanting the burden of deciding at the moment.

"Same for me!" Maya trilled cheerily, completely ignoring the fact she was underage. Pirates, pirates drank, right? And besides, she bet the proprietors of the place probably wouldn't care. Once the waitress left, Maya turned abruptly and knelt in her seat to get a better look at the stage, squinting excitedly at the mike. "Are you ready to sing your heart out, Nick?! Hey, how do you pick the music out, anyway?"

[turns-it-about.livejournal.com]

"I think you just request it," Phoenix said, watching someone do just that. It didn't look too different from kareoke bars back in LA, except it had musicians instead of a music machine.

"Hmm. D'ya think they know how to play the Steel Samurai season 4 opening theme?" Maya clapped her hands in anticipation as the waitress reappeared, bearing their drinks. "Wow, that was fast!"

[turns-it-about.livejournal.com]

Phoenix took his drink and took a sip. It tasted like vanilla and pineapple. His brows raised in surprised. This didn't have alcohol, did it? It was too good. Well, in that case it was alright to allow Maya to indulge in some of the sweet juice. "I'm not sure, if kareoke places back home would even have that, but it wouldn't hurt to ask," he said, smiling with amusement.

[burgersplzthx.livejournal.com]

"Okay, that'll be our first song! You better remember the lyrics, Nick!" Maya took a long sip of the drink, sighing in contentment when she lifted the glass away from her lips. "Mmm, this is really good! I bet Pearly would love to try some of this!"

She snapped her fingers, brightening at the idea. "Say, Nick! Why don't we invite Mr. Edgey to bring Trucy and Pearly? It can be a party!"

[turns-it-about.livejournal.com]

Phoenix decided not to say one way or the other whether he remembered all the lyrics... mostly because it would be embarrassing to admit that he did. "Yeah, I'm sure she would. I wonder what kind of juice it is?" It was so sweet, and all that fighting Maya to stay on the ground had made him thirsty. He finished it the second time he brought it to his lips. "Yeah, that'd be fun!" he said, smiling, "It'll be like a family party!"

one day Nick you will truly appreciate the Steel Samurai ok

"Dunno. Tastes kinda pineapple-y?" Maya finished hers to match Phoenix, cheeks already beginning to flush with the faintest hint of pink. "Okay, I hope you remembered your cellphone! We can call after another round and this song! I'll go ask about the music, 'kay?" Without waiting for an answer, she slid out of the booth and bounced towards the musician's corner.

[turns-it-about.livejournal.com]

"Sounds good!" While Maya was requesting their song, Phoenix flagged down the waitress and ordered drinks for himself and Maya, and three extra for the other three who were going to join them.
Just as fast as last time, the waitress brought the drinks to the table.

[burgersplzthx.livejournal.com]

Maya arrived shortly after the waitress, flopping into the booth and sweeping up her drink in the same motion so that it nearly sloshed on the two of them. Laughingly, she raised her glass up to Phoenix. "Lucky us, Nick, they do know it! Aren't you glad you're not stuck in your room anymore? Cheers, cheers!"

[turns-it-about.livejournal.com]

"Cheers!" He clinked his glass against hers and drank a long swig--that nearly emptied his glass. "I am glad. Thanks Maya. I still think the crow's nest was a terrible idea, but this was a good one!" Phoenix giggled, "Hey, too bad Mil--Edgeworth won't be here for the Steel Samurai song... I bet he'd have loved to sing that with us."

[burgersplzthx.livejournal.com]

Maya gulped down a good half of her own drink, settling the the glass on the table with a loud thump. "Of course, Nick, I'm full of good ideas! And we can always request it again when he gets here. C'mon, they're signaling for us now!" Grabbing Phoenix's wrist, she slid out of the booth to head up to the stage.

[turns-it-about.livejournal.com]

Phoenix laughed, but fished his phone out of his pocket, "Wait, wait a second Maya, let me text Edgeworth and Trucy..."
He quickly typed in a message:
Guys! Grab Pearls and meet us on shore It's the big builfing with the pineapple on thefront... cant miss it!
"Okay!" the defense attorney followed Maya to the stage and grabbed one of the microphones, ready for the music to start. They'd have the perfect harmony for this song!

Pearl stood to the side, trying to find her friends. She'd run ahead of Trucy and Edgeworth and was now thinking that probably wasn't the best idea. Skirting a wide circle around Smoker, she moved to the front.
"Mr. Nick! Mystic Maya!" She yelled, smiling and waving her arms as she saw them on stage.

[justicereigns]

Smoker hadn't recognized the voices of the others but Pearl's was a voice he'd recognize almost anywhere. And a karaoke bar wasn't a great place for a little kid who'd already gotten a hangover before.

"Pearl?" he turned his head quickly looking out with some concern.

[mrnickxmaya-otp.livejournal.com]

Pearl turned at the sound of her name. "Hi Mr. Smoker!" She said, momentarily distracted from the show. "Are you gonna sing a song too?"
She leaned in close, attempting to whisper to him. "If you're nervous I'll sing one with you!"
She wasn't going to admit she was nervous herself. Nono, that's preposterous.

[justicereigns]

Ah so she was just here to sing then. That was okay. And adorable that she was trying to comfort him if a little unnerving. "I don't really sing," he replied dryly. "Are you planning on a song?"

[turns-it-about.livejournal.com]

"Pearls, there you are!" Phoenix jumped down off of the stage as his song with Maya finished. "You want to help me pick the next song?" he asked happily.

Phoenix glanced up at Smoker, "Oh! Hello there! Sorry to interrupt! You just continue your conversation." Smoker was a nice fellow, so Pearls could spend as much time talking with him as she wanted.

He took a step back and cheerfully motioned to the table that belonged to himself and Maya. "Our table's over there, Pearls, when you're finished talking to Mr. Smoker and want to come to sit with Maya and me. Take your time," he srtode back to the table and sat down. He looked at his empty glass and then picked up a full glass that was supposed to be either Pearls', Trucy's or Edgeworth's and started on that one. He could always order them one when they got there.

[mrnickxmaya-otp.livejournal.com]

Pearl nodded at Phoenix. "Hi Mr. Nick! And yes! I'll be there in a minute!"

She turned back to Smoker, smiling. "Why not? It's fun! You get to be on stage! It's more fun with someone else!" She giggled.

Upon receiving the message, Edgeworth was quick to nab Trucy and Pearls - not that he was too excited to go or anything. Upon arrival, all he could do is stand there and watch Pearl run of to the others. Eventually, he managed to follow and even walk by her since she was stopped by Smoker. Already did he want to leave.

[turns-it-about.livejournal.com]

Phoenix reasoned that since Pearls was there, Trucy and Edgeworth should be as well. He searched the room, until his eyes fell upon the tell-tale magenta suit and cravat that could only belong to his special prosecutor. "Edgeworth!"

[prosecutorisrdy.livejournal.com]

Hearing the all too familiar voice, Miles glanced over to where it came from. He gave a slight wave and maybe a even a smile. "Wright."

[turns-it-about.livejournal.com]

"C'mon over," Phoenix beckoned to the silver-haired man. "Maya's looking for another song for us to sing."

[prosecutorisrdy.livejournal.com]

Naturally, Miles walked over towards the other. "If you're expecting me to sing then you're insane."

[turns-it-about.livejournal.com]

"Hahaha, you don't have to sing... yet," he added the last word with a sinister smile that vanished a moment later into his previous buoyant expression, "but you'll want to when you see how much fun Maya and I are having!"
