(1407) Someone Said Party At Your Place

[Ixidor]

Ix can only grin fiendishly at Faith's comparison, between them. Things are moving along, and he's got singing and drinking to do.

"Soon," he just manages to slip to Asp, "I'll check their schedule, and if nothing good's coming up, I'll see if I can't push something on 'em."

But then Jack Starcutter, El Patron of Guardian Ass Savers, reignites the U2 engine. Ix still hasn't met the toast. So he waits, until after joining in on "Angel of Haaaarleeeeem..."

Then, he slams the shot back.

"Birdland on fifty-three
The street sounds like a symphony

We got John Coltrane and 'A Love Supreme'
Miles, and she's got to be an aaaangeeeeel


Lady Day got diamond eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies

~Aaaaangeel..."

Well, it ain't as good as his original howl, but he's distracted. Nudging Asp to join in, along with anyone else who is in arm's reach. Faith gets another nudge, even though she's already singing... maybe for encouragement?

If anyone tries to act like they don't know the words, be it feigned or truthful, he's on it. A phone as big as a small tablet comes out of his jacket pocket, and a tattooed thumb quickly Googles u2 angel of harlem lyrics.

He clicks on the first link. Sure, maybe it will take someone unfamiliar a few ticks to pick up the rhythm, but fuck it. This isn't a talent show; it's a heavenly choir.

Which, granted, looking around, this probably isn't the first image those two words conjure up...

[Star]

Pop Quiz: How do you find the hipsters in the crowd? Answer: Serve up a toast. Whoever can't manage a toast without changing it up? Hipster.

As he sang along with the other two, he sloshed the bottle across another row of glasses. Dang, Adrian. Them girls. All. Over. Jealous? Dunno, yo. Because of who they are. But, if that's the standard? OK, maybe. Probably. Fine... Definitely.

He slid the shots out.

Handed Asp hers, and gave her a quick apologetic look. My bad. He didn't know calling Tinks over was gonna get her hustle crowded in on. Maybe? Maybe not. He had no idea if Thearch Hair Braiding Party was like Guardian Foam Party, but... Dunno, yo. Looked kinky from where he was at.

"LADY DAY GOT DIAMOND EYES!"

Yeah, he yelled that, just hollered right over the other two. His line. Sorry, yo. Because Eyes. Diamond. Eyes.

Act right, dial it down, here we go, hitting the chorus. Seriously? This was kind of fun. Maybe the band thing was seriously A Thing. He poked Asp . Girl. You better start singing.

"Soul love
This love won't let me gooooooooo
Sooooo loooooong
Angel of Harlem
Angel of Harlem

She says it's heart
Heeeeaaaaart and soooooouuuul
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right now"

He waved his hands at Faith, and held one up and out. Come on, Tinks. Wanna dance?

  Yay! Didn't mess it up! 2 Successes

OOC

I'm taking it as everyone singing is doing it together rather than taking turns...

[Sirith]

As she was mixing the drink, Faith got her second shot. Some voice in the back of her mind, which might have been her common sense and that suspiciously closely reminded her of Eleagia, kept reminding her that if she's not gonna slow down, she'd fall asleep in the middle of the party, and hello, she might want to meet with the unknown Obrimos, create some business ties and actually do what Ixidor ordered her to do at the last Caucus meeting.

El Patron, Ixidor's closeness and music were muting this voice quite effectively.

So the Theurgist continued singing - and she was all warmed up now, it seemed. All tension went away and she finally decided on how she wants to sing it. Even nudges from Ixidor didn't distract her... much. (Though she kept nudging him back, smiling mischievously. The biggest advantage of height difference? Your elbows are perfectly on the level to hit.)

"Blinded you lost your way
Through the side streets and the alleyway
Like a star exploding in the night
Falling to the city in broad daylight


An angel in Devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an angel
Yeah, yeah, Angel of Harlem!"

Yep, it felt good. It felt good enough to ignore Asp getting all clinging to Ixidor and tone-deaf (although the next verse of the song kinda didn't suck, which was good). It even made her not kill the hipster guy who was totally tone deaf as she could hear while he came closer to her. "It's an Angel's Tit," she answered somehow managing to remain completely serious, "You may take care of it if you want." The redhead handed the glass over to the Glasses Guy. She had better stuff to do... Like dancing with Peter Pan.

With a wide, kinda tipsy smile Faith took Star's hand. Because hell, why not.

[Jaqen]

Magni didn't get a second beer, as Ixidor made the rounds he joined in the singing. It was more hilarious and awful than anything else, that icelandic accent clearly not used to singing English at all.

Angel Angel of Harlem Angel Angel of Harlem Angel Angel of Harlem Angel Angel of Harlem All right, that's all right, that's all right!"

Eh...maybe the angel thing isn't so bad. Fun songs at least. he thought as the rocker passed onward through the crowd of Obrimoi.

Chosing to fail the roll, as he has no expression and I can't see Magni carrying a tune in a bucket.

[Leo Lockheart]

Leo blinks a little as he takes the bottle from Reverb. A quick swig and the Obrimos grimaced, resolute in his desire to now check what he drank before drinking.

"Ew, dude, that was....ew." Vodquila. Not winning the endorsement of the First Talon today, or ever really. Though late to the toast Leo nabbed one of Cut's shots from El Patron, and it was soooooo much better. Singing was happening too, and Leo wasn't going to join in if he could help it. Then Ix laid the lyrics out and Hipster man and Magni stole his poor singing voice excuse. The bastards.

Despite the peer pressure Leo looks away from the group as the song slowly comes to it's end, Leo instead turned to Orpheus and leaned in. "When we get a chance I wanna talk shop. Your position in particular, but the Duel as well." A quick glance was shot to Reverb then back to Orpheus before slowly starting to move away from the raucous. "The Duel is near and I'm not sure what's going to happen with the cabal system. If we need to go back to Path Counselors I don't want to go into the meeting clueless. We should figure out who fits the bill that we can depend on."

It was a valid topic of discussion, and completely on the table because of Leo's discomfort with singing.

[Weavebreaker]

Weavebreaker couldn't help but smile at the various antics going about. The peer pressure Asp exerted did not get her to sing, but she did raise a hand up in the air.

Weavebreaker lowered her hand after Leo started talking politics. "Could always duel for the position of Path Counselor." She said with absolute seriousness, but could not maintain the joke before breaking into a laugh.

"Leo, wanted to get your take on teaching some aspects of Prime outside of the Arrows. With the type of threats Sacramento faces, I think people knowing how to dispel or counter-spell would go a long way."

Weavebreaker looked to Orpheus for a moment and then returned her attention back to Leo. "What are your thoughts?'

[Jaqen]

"Hallo!" he said, turning around while grabbing another beer. He headed over to the new face, curious who he was. "Are all the Obrimoi get togethers so boisterous? Might take some getting used to." he grinned as he popped the tab and took a drink.
