Preparations

A few days before opening night, there's a lot of movement in the karaoke bar. Last decorations are put up, machines are checked and double checked and employees are being shown around to get familiar with the bar. Ren is around almost all of the time, guiding people and making sure everything goes smoothly.

The opening night

Because it's spring time, the karaoke bar has been decorated with cherry blossoms. The inside of the bar looks like a night under the cherry trees in japan: a sakura viewing, one might call it. It's a bit crazy to realize that you're walking in with how the interior looks. But it does become clear that this is the karaoke bar Ren has been talking about when you see the lobby where you can purchase drinks, snacks and rent booths.

Tonight though, all the snacks and drinks are free. There's a variety of colorful alcoholic drinks, not only suited for the sakura theme but also other rather interesting looking ones. Most of them can also be ordered alcohol-free. The snacks are mostly easy finger food, but also some very classy stuff like caviar (or closest to that you can find in Avalon). There is also a variety of soft and tea drinks.

The karaoke machines in various private booths are all available for testing as long as you wait for your turn patiently. There is also a karaoke machine in the main lobby and there is a chance to sing there as well. Though usually when someone sings in the lobby, others join in on the singing too.

Party Games

Various games have been set up! There's spin the bottle, twister and darts. There is also a karaoke game where the person who scored the slowest score has to put on a weird outfit that Ren has borrowed from the the theater.

If there's a game in mind, people are encouraged to set it up and have fun.


March 14th: White Day Celebration

The next day, anyone is invited to visit the karaoke bar again. Everyone is encouraged to pick chocolates they like from the selection on the tables and box them in a white box with a light pink ribbon. That box is later given to someone they like with well wishes. You can only make one box, so choose carefully who to give it to.

Of course nothing says you have to give it to someone. You could just eat them yourself.

"Oh!" Dear gods he's old. Again. "I thought you were at least 18. Sorry about that!" No, he should not introduce her to Allura just because she behaves more maturely than her age. Don't be ridiculous, Shirogane. "It seemed odd that a beautiful, mature young woman didn't have a significant other, that's all."
roseeclair: (Yay~!)

[personal profile] roseeclair 2021-03-26 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)

Oh. Oh wow, that's really high praise from a handsome guy who just poured his heart out to her.

"N-no no, it's okay, I'm flattered!" She just BARELY has enough sense to not ask how old he is, no Mako, he has a maybe-soulmate already. "You uh... you wouldn't happen to know any boys closer to my age, would you~?"

She has met Keith already- not that she knows the connection yet- and she will meet Allura at the ball. But yes, Makoto is sixteen and quite single. (It sucks being a tall, muscular girl with non-indicative gang coding in 90s Japan.)

vrepit_no: (You've got this)

[personal profile] vrepit_no 2021-03-27 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Shiro huffs half a laugh. "Well, I mean, I do, but I'm not sure how many of them are here, and those who are might already have dates. But if I find out one of them's free, I can always send them over here to ask for you?" He's half joking, but kinda half in earnest, too. If Hunk were here, he might offer to set them up, actually. Hunk's so gentle and kind, and completely terrified to ask anyone out, Shiro's pretty sure.

But since Allura's said that neither Hunk nor Lance have made an appearance, and he's pretty sure he would have hear Lance yelling about mermaids from several miles away if he'd dropped in, that leaves him with Keith. And Pidge, maybe, if she's interested in dating. He really hasn't asked. Actually, come to think of it...

"Should I be on the look out for eligible ladies as well? Or are we playing with a limited field?"

Makoto would absolutely love meeting Hunk in any capacity. (Heck, they're in a steady relationship and ridiculously adorable in another reality.) For now, she just grins at Shiro's offer.

"Oh my gosh, that'd be awesome, thank you so much! I'm mostly into boys, but I wouldn't mind keeping an eye out for girls in case some of my friends show up!"

Although considering how Makoto can't walk two feet in this place without seeing a guy she thinks is cute, she'd hardly call it limited.

Oh wait duh! Makoto blinks for a second before rubbing the back of her neck.

"But uh... I should probably get back to work, it was really nice talking to you, Shiro-san." She gives the box a light point. "Should I start with delivering that?"

vrepit_no: (Adorablush)

[personal profile] vrepit_no 2021-03-28 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"No problem, Miss Makoto. I'll point them your direction. Oh! Should I maybe--"

Her question catches him by surprise and he startles slightly, laughing at himself. "Ah... Yyyyes. Yeah, if that's all right. It can't hurt, right? Um. Would you be willing to write the note for me? My dominant hand is my right, and I haven't quite built up the ambidexterity to make my left hand legible yet."
roseeclair: (Cute Little Smile)

[personal profile] roseeclair 2021-03-28 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)

"Yeah, sure thing." Pen and paper get. "What do you wanna say?"

vrepit_no: (Star freckles)

[personal profile] vrepit_no 2021-03-30 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
...She's incredibly kind, Makoto. Reminds him vaguely of... someone. Can't put his finger on it. Though that might be because his dominant hand is gone.

"Hm. Alright, don't laugh at me. Would you please put down 'You've always been by my side. Thanks for chasing the stars with me.' Yeah, that's good."
roseeclair: (Best! Tea! EVER!)

[personal profile] roseeclair 2021-03-30 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)

"Oh my god, that's so sweeeet~!"

Nope, already tearing up, why kind of monster laugh at that?

vrepit_no: (Adorablush)

Shiro ducks his head with a self-deprecating chuckle. "It's cheesy is what it is. This is what happens with astronauts. So many star-related puns and jokes."
roseeclair: (Silly Rabbit~)

[personal profile] roseeclair 2021-04-01 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)

“Oh my gosh, you’re an astronaut? Wow, that’s REALLY cool. Okay, this guy would officially be an idiot not to say yes to an awesome guy this over the moon about him!” … Yup, meeting Hunk would be an explosion of beautiful food and questionable puns. “Where is he, by the way?”

vrepit_no: (Star freckles)

[personal profile] vrepit_no 2021-04-02 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, blushing. Again. Dang it. She knows just how to hit that button, doesn't she.

"I was an astronaut," he points out softly. "Somehow I don't think space travel is going to be a top priority here. Matt was an astronaut too. He was my navigator and communications officer."

"But, um, I can give you his address?"
roseeclair: (Leave it to me!)

[personal profile] roseeclair 2021-04-04 03:45 am (UTC)(link)

A romance blooming in adventure, even cuter~

"Yeah, you definitely can. You can count on me, Shiro-san!"

vrepit_no: (talk to me)

[personal profile] vrepit_no 2021-04-05 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Shiro quietly and carefully recites the address for her, specifying the basement apartment.

"Thanks, Miss Makoto. But please, just call me Shiro. There's no need for formality. I'm just a guy, like anybody else."
roseeclair: (Hey there~!)

[personal profile] roseeclair 2021-04-05 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)

Awww that's sweet!

"Thank you. In that case, call me Makoto; you really don't need to be that formal with me either."

vrepit_no: (sad affection)

[personal profile] vrepit_no 2021-04-10 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
He chuckles and shakes his head. "Only when you're off work. But seriously. Thank you. It means a lot that you'd talk me out of being a chicken." His smile holds more than a little self-deprecation. He stands and pushes the chair back in, offering her a hand up. "Are you also a cashier, or is there someone else I can go bother?"
roseeclair: (^_^)

[personal profile] roseeclair 2021-04-11 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)

Such a good gentleman, Matt really is lucky.

"Seriously, you're fine! I'll be back with your check in a few minutes, okay?"

vrepit_no: (Paladin - uh)

[personal profile] vrepit_no 2021-04-12 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh! Um, yeah, sure! Do you need my card or anything...?" It has been Some Time since he last had to use real money. How does this work again?
roseeclair: (Sure sure...)

[personal profile] roseeclair 2021-04-13 12:51 am (UTC)(link)

"Oh no, we have phone scanners here. Just one sec!"

Not unlike modern tablets at restaurants where you can input a tip and sign and such. Mako will bring one around and point to where Shiro needs to put his phone.

vrepit_no: (You've got this)

[personal profile] vrepit_no 2021-04-14 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! One of those! Wow, he hasn't used one in ages. Hang on.... The device makes a happy little chiming noise, which he assumes to mean that it went through okay.

"I think that worked. Okay, anything else you need from me, or should I get out of your hair?" he smiles.
