Dropped the ball on gettin' together a Year's End party, yeah? Guess the whole "Christmas" baloney takes over even if you ain't celebratin' it.

M'gonna start workin' on an expansion for the Apple soon. Hope it'll make up for ballin' up Year End. Meanwhile. Found somethin' in the back of the place that I ain't familiar with.

Anyone know what a-- [

[Jin honestly wasn't expecting Ladon to talk to him anytime soon.]

I'm...still in the desert, sir.

That, ah, thing you mentioned, that sounds like a karaoke machine.

[rustigedraak]

[ Locking this. He doesn't need his nose broken twice okay ]

All right. Just... wanted t'make sure you're still alive.

[ Not that he cares or anything, s-stupid! ]

Yeah? What's it do?

[ Private voice ]

[supernova1006]

Do you...need me for something, sir?

It...basically plays songs and lets you sing along to them.

[ Private voice ]

[rustigedraak]

You just got a way of gettin' your ass in trouble, s'all. Wanted t'make sure that ain't the case.

S'what a radio does, yeah? Gramaphone, too.

[fuckinghubble]

I think you mean a karaoke machine.

And yeah, I do. You thinking of setting one up?

audio;

[rustigedraak]

Maybe. First I gotta figure out what it does.

[fuckinghubble]

It's for playing prerecorded backtracks for songs that you're supposed to sing to.

I can show you how it works, if you have one.

[rustigedraak]

[ Most of that sounds like jibberish to Ladon, but he's getting used to the feeling. ]

Found one in a storage area didn't know the place had. Got all kinds of buttons and shit on it, was afraid the damn thing'd blow up if I poked at it.

voice; private (Buffy encryption - thank you, Buffy)

[balancetheblood]

Nah, it wasn't a big thing. It's what friends do, right?

Anyway, I owed you for the thing before.

voice; private (Buffy encryption)

[rustigedraak]

Yeah well. Can't say I deserved it... but still, thanks.

Don't jump when y'see me next, yeah? Got the bandage taken off my nose. M'pretty damn purple.

[originaljoe]

Not only do ya have a bar but, a karaoke machine too? I think I might have a new favorite person on the station.

[Finally, a chance for Joe to expose the station to good music. By singing while drunk. Best plan.]

[rustigedraak]

[ Ladon is staying away from the video function for now, until his nose heals at least. ]

Yeah? You a fan of singin'?

Video;

[originaljoe]

Oh yeah. I think I can sing well enough and this place needs ta be introduced to some good music 'round here.

[Video]

[gotta_go_flash]

[A loud, irritating group activity? Flash is all over this.]

You've got a karaoke machine? Sweet find.

Think I could drop by and give it a spin, or is this one of those things I have to pay for?

[ Audio ]

[rustigedraak]

[ No video feed from him, nope. ]

Yeah, sure. Once I got it set up, feel free. No charge, just like the rest of the bar.

[Video ]

[gotta_go_flash]

[So far, Flash has a met a lot of strange, neurotic people who don't seem to like video calls. He's not too bothered by getting a disembodied voice.

He, of course, does opt for video, because he does so love being on TV.]

Nice; there is not nearly enough free stuff on this station.

What's your place's main attraction, other than the karaoke?

[rustigedraak]

[ Ladon just doesn't want to advertise his broken nose courtesy of Kimiko, thank you very much. ]

The Apple's got a lot goin' for her, but it's prob'ly the free booze that ain't bein' poured by a station drone. [ Pause ] That and we got a real looker for a waitress.

[ He has a feeling he's going to get swatted for that one. ]
