What the hell's wrong with everybody? Singing these weirdass songs... This one of those tricks the gods play, or is everyone messed in the head?

You'll never catch me giving in to that...

[And he starts singing uncontrollably, trying to hide it and switch off the video, but, 40-something from the 80's, what is dealing with technology.]

I am Jack Bauer
always in danger
I am Jack Bauer
I never die
I am Jack Bauer
I get pissed easily
I am Jack Bauer
I'm actually a cry baby...

[Fluttershy has been hovering around outside for most of the afternoon, tending to the plants and trying to help them rise up and grow. Her heart is filled with song and she's been humming and fluttering about on her tiptoes, as usual. Anyone watching or listening in will hear her voice rise up softly to this tune.

She seems to be exercising her power on some of the budding plants, helping them bloom as she touches and sings to them, softly and almost hauntingly. Her tone is full and very different from her usual speaking voice--

Let's listen...]

Come to my garden... Nestled in the hills~ [Smiling gently, her hand waves around the bud of a pale-colored flower and it opens slowly.] There, I will keep you safe beside me.

[Her hand floats down the line of flowers as she steps away and goes to some more, allowing them to open.]

Come to my garden~ Rest there in my arms... [She leans over a small hedge, one leg extended out behind her while she balances on the ball of the other foot.] There, I will see you, safely grown and on your way...

[Swinging the back leg forward again, she switches her balance to that one, alternating between as she twirls along the walkway into the grass on the other side and under a tree, where she brings her arms around grandly.]

Stay there in the garden~ [Reaching to gently cup a flower on the tree.] Where love grows wild and free~

Come to my garden, sweet child--

[It blooms in her hand and she lets it go, fondly fluttering until she reaches the walkway again. She stops and her hands float in the air and her eyes widen as if she's distracted by something in the distance.]

Come, come to me...

[OoC; HEY I'M NOT DEAD. If you would like for me to hit up backtags, let me know! And this has been a presentation of Don't Let Theatre People Write Posts.]

[When the video feed starts, Parasoul glances at at the screen for a couple of seconds, her one visible eye blinking (winking?) curiously. Once she was certain the feed was working, however, her expression quickly reforms to a controlled stoniness as her right hand shifts on the handle of her elaborately designed umbrella.]

Though this is my first time, addressing the network, I won’t waste your time with the meaningless questions one would perhaps normally be plagued with, in this particularly odd situation we were all tossed into.

However, though my - facetime with that helpful maid answered a lot of my inquiries, I was still left a few unanswered questions:

Who presides over this kingdom? I’m aware of the presence of gods, but surely there’s someone who looks after the well-being of it’s citizens on a constant basis. [Parasoul frowns slightly, angling her head to the side.] Tell me, at the very least, there’s some sort of criminal justice system in place? If so, I’d like to speak with whoever is in charge.

[She then glances off to the side, her expression softening slightly.]

I may not be in a position of power here, but I still wish to assist in whatever way I can.

[Especially if it meant it would benefit her own kingdom, as well.

And while she was set to end her feed on a dignified note, it seemed she wasn't quite done yet.]

Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Ella, ella, eh--

[And with that, her eyes went wide as she bit her lip to try to stop herself, abruptly ending the feed.]

[When Leeloo comes on the feed she's bright, happy, and smiling. You can see her only so far as her half shirt and bright orange suspenders, naval visible, from where she's sitting cross legged on her bed.]

Music is GOOD!

Assta taban o afta taytay'kita!! Bom podo! ["These words are so strange!! But amazing!"]


[It isn't long before Leeloo's hips sway to the beat that no one else can hear and she starts to sing.]

Visions of your pretty face, send me into hyper space, caught up in a planetary whirl. Breathing in, you give me air, I'm living off your solar flare.

Could you be my Super Nova Girl? [Her arms are also moving in a type of dance that suggests she's fairly inexperienced with anything but fighting techniques. It looks more like subtle and much looser movements of Karate and Kung Fu than anything close to an actual rhythm.]

Interplanetary, mega stellar, hydro static. There's no gravity between us! Our love is automatic!

[Audio/Action for Sigyn]

[Whether by coincidence or not, the audio function on Hibiki's bracelet seems to have activated. Judging by the crinkling sounds indicating a paper bag or something similar pressed against the thing... it's probably the former.

Still, the voice of a young girl can be heard over the crackling, singing a rather cute song to herself.]

The big dumpling family
The big dumpling family

The mischievous roasted dumpling, the gentle bean jam dumpling
The moon viewing dumpling is a bit of a dreamer
The sesame dumpling always looks prim, the quadruplet spitted dumplings
Put all of them together to make a family of one hundred

The baby dumpling is always in the midst of happiness
The old dumpling narrows his eyes

The friendly dumplings all hold hands and create a big round ring
They laugh together while making towns on the dumpling star
The rabbits wave from the big moon in the sky
It takes all the happy and sad things and rounds them up...

[She suddenly trails off as she realizes what she's singing.]

...Huh? Where did I learn that...?

[Lyon somehow managed to hold out until the last minute of the musical event without breaking into embarrassing song, but it looks like all of that is changing now as she's sitting in the park trying to relax. And to top it off, her bracelet is on while she's singing, so everyone in Asgard can get a taste of just how badly she's being affected at the moment. She's no diva or anything, but her voice is decent, and despite the apparent emotional tenor of the song being inflicted upon her, the look on her face does not at all match the mood of the lyrics.]

~Come what may
come what may
I will love you
until my dying day~

[It's a very beautiful love song and all, but Lyon seems horrified and embarrassed at every step of the way.  She belts out the entire song, both parts and all, but her face is as red as a tomato the entire time.  Once she's done, she looks down at her bracelet in apparent horror, only now having realized that everyone in Asgard must have seen that little display.]

Wh-what was that!

So like, everyone keeps singing around here. It's like, kinda wierd. Do you guys do this all the time?

[Today we see LSP has left her room! She's currently strutting through the Freya district, looking like she's going nowhere in particular. She's eating some sandwich.]

I totally have some questions because I got this questionnaire and I was all "what the lump is a hemospectrum anyway" and I like, really want to get these right... [she starts humming this song.] And I'm like, really hoping someone can tell me what a cup size is. And I just like... want to totally get it.

And I mean, I'm totally hot! Totally! And Don'tcha wish your girlfriend was hot like me? Don'tcha wish your girlfriend was a a freak like me? Don'tcha?

[why yes she's about to just start dancing down the streets of Freya asking these questions]

[ooc: so responses are going to be the lyrics to this song and then she'll actually talk...at some point. So tags might not make sense for a few minutes!]

[Hi, Asgard! Mary's face pops up very suddenly.]

Hey, Merlin, Morgana- I'm on my way home, I picked up dinner. See you soon.

[She presses a button on the bracelet, but obviously not the right one, as it keeps playing. The scene changes as she walks outside into... some random-ass part of what appears to be Odin that's most likely utterly unfamiliar to anyone who doesn't actually live there. Mary's humming a tune that she honestly doesn't know, but has been in her head for days. She isn't a stripper, contrary to the video, but she is sporting some pretty rad hot pants and mud on her cowboy boots.

After a few seconds the music overwhelms her- she runs at a streetlight and spins on it with the arm not carrying food, bursting into song. She's a pretty good singer, shockingly.]

What's the time? Well it's gotta be close to midnight!
My body's talking to me, it says time for danger.
[She obviously has no idea she's being recorded, and has started to stop random faceless people and sing with them.]
It says I wanna commit a crime- wanna be the cause of a fight.
I wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt with a stranger.

[Mary goes on like that, singing to the stars as she goes through the streets, running her free hand through her hair in obvious pent-up energy. By the time she gets to Thor, she's reached a sadder, slower part of the song, and has stopped to sing right at a confused-looking gray person.]

In the evening, I've got to roam,
Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome-
feels too damn much like home when the Spanish babies cry.
So let's find a bar so dark we forget who we are...

[She gets visibly pissed-off suddenly, turning around and whipping the box in her hand at the building across the street, narrowly missing hitting a gray person in the head. Her bracelet goes flying too, hitting some gray person in the eye and just catching her almost screaming the last line.]

Where all the scars from the nevers and maybes DIE!
Let's go-

[It was bound to happen one of these days. And, to make matters even more interesting, Hermione is humming - and then singing - a song that she has never heard before.

Thank you, Asgard. You have officially stumped the Hogwarts brainiac.]

Hm, I can't remember ever... [A short pause and then she begins to hum.

That hum soon turns into lyrics. All in all, her voice isn't bad. It just isn't sure.]

( Not an IC cut. The song lyrics are just too long. )

[When she finishes, she allows herself a small laugh. She was just singing to herself, right?]

[OOC: Here's the song if you want to listen to it. ♥]

No!

[ Aqua sits straight up in bed, in so doing turning her bracelet on. She sits for a moment, breathing heavily, staring around her in open confusion. ]

... Is this ... Asgard? I'm still here? But how? I was just...

[ She looks down at the little bracelet, to see it recording. ]

That's right... I was lost. When I finally found my bracelet again, I was so tired... I must have fallen asleep. Did I dream all of that? How long ... was I gone?

[ A moment's thought, and she swings her legs off her bed. Her eyes are narrowed in thought. In some sadness. ]

I can't believe... The Master... Ven--

[ ... wait, he's --

Aqua springs off her bed, alarm and urgency lending her a sudden adrenaline surge. ]

Ven! Are you there? Can you hear me? Please tell me you're still here!

[Like everyone else, Sora's had a song itching in his brain; now he just can't control himself anymore! He gets his bracelet ready to record the greatest performance on earth. He's on his way to the main floor of Freya house from the second floor, dancing all the way.]

Hey everyone, listen to this! I got two words that will solve all your problems!

Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase!
Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze!
It means no worries for the rest of your days!

It's our problem-free philosophy,
Hakuna Matata!

Remember it, okay? Hakuna Matata! It's about overcoming the past.

Ugh. What a nightmare! I can't belieeeeeeeeve how long it took me to find this stupid thing.

[ Here is a girl, Asgard. A young human girl with bright blue eyes, though she's a bit green about the gills right now. She sounds familiar, too... ]

Hey, wait, what...

[ At least she's noticing something is amiss. Her head feels really light. From where she's kneeling on the ground - her bracelet was hiding in some corner, okay - she tries to stand, and moves all wrong. Like she's expecting extra weight on her head. Her balance goes off instantly and she just collapses, which is really uncool. ]

What the-- what's wrong with me? What the hell did they--

[ Vriska pushes herself up enough to pat at her head. No horns. She stares at her hands, aghast, to see dark brown skin. HUMAN skin. ]

AUGH! They made me human! This is so disgusting and demeaning I don't even know where to start!

[ She tries to stand again, pretty pissed, and is only overcome by dizziness once more. FUCK THIS DUMB HUMAN BODY, OKAY. Unfortunately, she lost her bracelet outside of Baldr House, and outside is where she is right now. Unable to get home on her own, apparently. She groans, and presses a hand to her head. Deciding ... well, fuck it, basically, she pushes her back up against the nearest wall, and gives the video feed a very flat stare. ]

Whatever. So! Who wants to tell me what I missed?

(ooc; replies will come from 8rutal!)
