Thanks to everyone that showed up at the bar the other night, I had fun and it was great to meet some new friends and old! I hope there weren't too many people getting sick the next day cuz that would just suck a lot. Anyways, I just want to thanks for the nice presents and well wishes and I hope that everyone enjoyed themselves.

I would like to say happy birthday to those also having one this month. It's a great month to get born in, I admit! Anyways, this goes out to a Mr. Wright and a couple others I don't quite remember their names but I really think that you should all have a good time too. Even if the alcohol here is a bit bitter.

Also, has anyone seen Kumagoro? He's a really bad bunny and stayed out all night last night and hasn't come home yet.

OKAY! It's time to have some fun! I mean, sure it's cold and wet and all that, but look at all that snow! It's calling to be turned into snowmen and snow families and snow angels and snowball fights and forts and igloos and all sorts of stuff! And and and I bet it would be a lot more fun than sitting around talking about how bad it is because it really isn't that bad cuz weather is just weather and people is what makes it all bad!

And I know I'm right about it too!

SO! Let's have some fun! Last person out there gets a Kumagoro BAZOOKA BLAST!

[ voice | English ]

KUMAGORO MIRACLE BEAM!

[ There's a loud 'thud' and laughter. ]

Got you!

\end transmission


[ ooc; Anyone want to get hit on the head by a pink rabbit? Here's your chance! But nothing rough or really weird - this is just for fun and such (and is taking place in the hospital right now). ]

SHUICHI!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ARE YOU WORKING ON SONGS? CAN I SEE?

[ voice | Japanese ]

[ There's a rustle of paper and then you hear Ryuichi singing. ]

yasashi sa yori tsuyoi chikara wo
suketa ai ni kanjiteru
doko demo yuku nan ni demo naru
kimi no yami ni furesasete

OFF kara ON ni kiri kaeta machi ga yoru wo te guri yoseru
akke nai kyou no ketsumatsu wo tsuki tsukete

So what does everyone think so far? It sounds good, right? Course, we'll need to work on the arrangement first to really play it... So back to work we go! If you wanna hear more, you'll have to wait until we're done, but I can sing other stuff.


[OOC; The song's by a nice little J-pop group called Iceman.]

[ And here is Ryuichi standing on a stage, wearing a jean jacket over a black tank top and some torn jeans, his hair a stylish mess and his grin as wide as ever. The stuffed rabbit he takes with him everywhere is not in sight, but there is pink fuzz surrounding the camera - Kumagoro is holding the communicator. Ryuichi waves, and then goes down in a full split, springs back up, does a flip, lands in a split and comes back up. He jumps a couple times, spins around and falls flat on his stomach, laughing, as he presses his nose against the camera. ]

See Kumagoro? The stage is too safe. Pfft!

[ He springs back to his feet and stretches, eyes closing and fingers reaching up. Holding that position, he runs through a couple of voice exercises, all of them pitch perfect even with the way he's stretching out his rib cage. Then dropping his arms, he twists, sings a few bars of 'Sleepless Beauty' then he goes off into 'Ava Maria' for a few short verses, before sticking his tongue out and looking up at the ceiling. ]

Okay, so the acoustics are a little wobbly, but it'll be okay. Now, to figure out what to do for lights if it's dark...

[ He wanders off-camera, muttering in Japanese. The camera times out after a minute or two. ]

I'VE GOT LOTS OF CANDY! THANK YOU! Looks like I can give stuff out to kids and have some for tomorrow!

Shuichi! Let's go to a party! Yuki can come too! And and maybe we'll do some singing, okay?
