Who: Yvette, Pentium, & You
Where: Olive Garden
When: Day 505

[ The Olive Garden now has the chill vibes of a Jazz-age speakeasy: the lights are dimmed, there are pitchers of cocktails and unlimited baskets of breadsticks, fresh out of the oven. A horse and a booze fairy play beautiful jazz renditions of Your Favorite Tunes, but how does one get to the venue? ]

[ A mass text about the not-so-secret secret way to enter the land of infinite italian-esque carbs:

Fifty Shades of Grey; For some good music, good drinks, and good food*,
head to the Olive Garden and knock four times on the back entrance.
Not one more or one less.
And then say the phrase "when you're here, you're family."
An evening of relaxation and breadsticks awaits you, friends.

so come relax and have fun!!! ]

[ after a couple of sets, pentium turns to address everybody in the club, ] If you’re interested in performing, don’t be shy~ [ he motions to both the piano and the assortment of instruments sitting nearby, ] the stage is yours, but do consider the mood.

( ooc; It's a secret BARiTONES bartending & performance Live! everybody's invited~! )

Comments

[abovefate]

Mmm, I'm not sure. Does the general populace deserve my performances?

[tradesecret]

I would personally be happy if you performed, but I won't force you~

I'm happy to entertain you instead.

[586]

...hmmmm~ [ circles him and then purrs into his ear. ] I wouldn't mind if you kept it a secret, something that only BARiTONES gets to enjoy.

Besides~ I can just perform another song for you!

[tradesecret]

I'm glad we were finally able to do this together, Pentium.

[586]

As am I. Ever since we talked about playing together I've been really excited about doing so.

[sangreine]

[ This vampire got pleasantly drunk before this Live was announced (and happens to know the secret way even without the text, thank you Saffron). In defense of her pregaming it’s been a horrific week, but on the upside she’s actually feeling good enough to be hungry and what’s better for the depressos than carb loading? ]

[ Being so old means Aliza has a big soft spot for 1920’s and 30’s jazz, and she’s nowhere close to too drunk for her voice and violin skills to be anything but great, so she goes up and makes use of both to perform Dream A Little Dream of Me. Hopefully that suits the mood enough. ]

[ Otherwise she can be found eating her weight in breadsticks and pasta. Daintily, as she does. ] Ahh I needed this!

[586]

[ pentium's going to sit nearby and rest his head on a table, enjoying the sound of both even if she doesn't think she's all that great. he certainly does!!! once she's finished he'll flag her down so they can gorge themselves on breadsticks together, because that's how you do it. ]

Who knew when they said unlimited it would actually be unlimited!

[tradesecret]

[ Applauding ]

Bravo!

[heavyliesthecrown]

[Breadsticks with Oneesan? Count him in! He's seated and enjoying some food, but...!]

I would love to watch some performances. ♪

[586]

[ he just finished playing the paino with yvette, so he's taking a break and is casually munching on a breadstick. ]

Do you plan on performing too?

[tradesecret]

Then I shall do my best to entertain you~

[at_heart]

[ Every time he sees Tsukasa someplace with alcohol, he feels the need to check in. ]

Feeling okay?

[at_heart]

[ This is silly and sort of spooky in a fun way, and he's definitely enjoying being able to walk places again, so. Once he's inside, he takes a seat — and eyes the menu thoughtfully.

Will he get buzzed enough to actually try singing in public, who knows. ]

Too secret for counter-lives?

[ Mostly a joke. Photography's easy, but he's not here for points. ]

[586]

[ pentium is going to slide a chair up to lupine's table. ] Not that secret, no~. And besides, it's on them to try to figure out where the pictures are being taken. It may not be completely obvious. [ it's probably pretty obvious, pentium... ]

[tradesecret]

People made it here, after all. So it wasn't that secret.

[sangreine]

[ flops down beside him fresh from singing a super swanky song, in a much better mood now since she's clearly pleasantly drunk for the second time in as many days ]

Isn't this place the best? [ She's eaten so many breadsticks, Lupine! ]

COUNTERLIVE: SELF-CARE

[bondsofsuffering]

What if I just wanna relax? Take a little self-care day?

[By helping himself to unlimited breadsticks obviously.]

Re: COUNTERLIVE: SELF-CARE

[tradesecret]

Also acceptable!

Re: COUNTERLIVE: SELF-CARE

[586]

Definitely acceptable. The music should help with that. [ he goes back to the piano to play something relaxing. ]

Re: COUNTERLIVE: SELF-CARE

[at_heart]

The more lives, the merrier.

[ Snapping a photo of you. ]

And garlic is obviously self-care.

[constellationprize]

Oh, it's really nice - ... it's, um - the atmosphere is something that you tried to work very hard on, isn't it...? Good work...!

[ while she passes on the breadsticks by all indications she immediately goes for the drinks ]

Are the two of you interested in music...?

[tradesecret]

Somewhat. Someone I'm close to enjoyed playing piano. With the free time I have here, I thought it would be good to learn.

[586]

Thank you. [ his tail wags, because he's proud. ]

I am. It's something that meant a lot to me back home, so I tried to continue to trend here. In a different way, but... [ he just gives a nod. ] Playing piano has become a hobby of mine. It's one of the only instruments I can play, but I really enjoy it.

[sangreine]

Hey, Dia! [ Someone's been drinking off the hell of the last 7 days, in booze not in blood which is why she's so affected ]

This place is great, isn't it?

[gemuinemanagement]

[Thank goodness he has text to speech on his phone now or else he wouldn't be able to get in.

Robin obviously can't sing, but he does gravitate to the guitar. He strums something relaxing - nothing too fancy, but it's clear he has put some time into the instrument.

He's a little bit nervous to be on stage, even if there aren't that many people here.]

[sangreine]

[ Once he's done, she veers over to say hello. ]

I didn't know you can play! You're pretty good. [ It's been a minute and she's been through about every sort of hell which might explain why she's well on her way to being pleasantly wasted. (Again.) Never underestimate the power of refusing to drink enough blood + occasions which serve abundant booze + desperately needing to not feel things for a while. ]
