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~! )

[ cutest niece. Yvette cuddles her, encouraging her to rest on her. ]

Precisely. I hold romantic interest in him, and he feels the same for me. It was not something I had planned for, but I am pleased by the development.

[constellationprize]

Is that so - . . .

[ settling in against her comfortably, taking another sip of her drink ]

Then, what is he like?

[586]

[ he nods. ] I'm glad. It can be easy to convey through the music, itself. But I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. That's half the fun. Being able to play, but also being able to make those you play for friends.

I don't necessarily think there are any I don't like.

Do you play anything?

[heavyliesthecrown]

I did not have anything in mind, but I could if people would like me to.

[heavyliesthecrown]

You never fail to provide the absolute best of time, Yvette-oneesan. ♪

[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.]

[586]

How about browsing the shop for a song? I'm sure I could find the sheet music to go along with it.

[586]

I know I wouldn't mind getting to see you perform.

[sangreine]

I have an idea. [ She sings a few bars of I Put A Spell On You. ] Do you know it? It has a great, escalating piano part. Classic blues stuff, lots of room for bends and riffing.

[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! ]

[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?

[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. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Robin's having water himself, but he won't judge her.]

It's just a hobby
It's a little embarrassing to perform when there are actual professional musicians here

[They have plenty of real idols, not just fake hell ones.]

[sangreine]

Oh, don't worry about that. Everyone's here to have fun!

[ Plonking down and helping herself to more breadsticks. And more booze. It's fine she could drink a swimming pool before the situation got desperate. ] Did you know they give you as many of these as you want?! It's the best thing.

[at_heart]

[ Absolutely clapped for her like a good audience member! By the time she gets to him, he's at least warmly buzzed courtesy of Pentium. ]

It's not bad.

[ From context by now you probably know that means 'good'. ]

Who were you singing for tonight?

[ Because he remembers you only took out the violin last time for Venti. ]

[sangreine]

[ Good then he won't mind when she's vaguely invading his space ]

Pentium asked. But I've been doing it more than I used to. [ Especially when too drunk to be anxious about it ] Venti and I spent some time recording music for this thing I'm doing tomorrow so I think I'm getting used to it.

COUNTERLIVE: Photography

[at_heart]

[ Shaking his head a tiny bit. ]

I'm sure I will. The entertainment's been great so far.

[ But........ ]

If you're not really trying to keep a secret, I might as well get us all a few more points.

[ He will get photos of all the entertainment, it's nice. Maybe also some of his food???? ]

[at_heart]

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

Feeling okay?

[at_heart]

[ He definitely won't! Even less bothered by it than usual for her specifically. ]

...Oh yeah?

[ Cuuuurious. ]

[sangreine]

Yep! That dancing date Doctor asked for, the reason I was bothering you for flowers. I don't know what he was thinking, I'm awful at all that stuff.

...But the music's good, at least. And I've got a killer dress.

[at_heart]

[ He would also have gotten help picking flowers that meant nice things, probably. ]

I think what you mean to say is that you're wearing a dress, so it'll be killer.

[sangreine]

I appreciate the vote of confidence.

[ Opening up her photos and showing Lupine a picture of her wearing this. ] He'd better like this thing, I spent forever picking it out.

[at_heart]

[ ...Brain unhelpfully supplying that he could compliment the flowers on the dress with matching flowers in her hair or something. Wow, this place, he has like thoughts about fashion???? ]

If he doesn't, check for recent game status ailments.

[sangreine]

[ Leaning over to bump him with her shoulder ] You're sweet.

I'm more worried about the gift I got him, actually. I can mess up the decorations, but it'll be sort of a disaster if he hates it. [ This goofy grin does not indicate worry especially, but then again booze ]

[constellationprize]

Oh, well - there's that one, and - . . .

My younger sister and I - when she was here in this city, the two of us would play the pipe organ together, too...
