"I suppose that I need a drink after that!"
He reaches out, shakes Grant's hand and does as required.
"We need to do this again because if I'm not engaged in this type of activity, the ladies I'm here with are going to force me to embarrass myself singing."

"Yes, get yourself a drink and down in one. These guys, Steve and Pete, are still willing opponents."
The other two are smiling, Steve is a fairly burly guy, Pete is slim and wiry.
"So you go to Uni?"
On the stage selections are being made and a few people gather to watch in anticipation. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,028 Likes: 7 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,028 Likes: 7 | {Skye}
"We'll grab them on the third song." Skye took another shot, punched play, and grinned wickedly, pulling Em up on stage. She snapped her fingers in rhythm.
"Let's go girls..." she growled. "Come on."
I'm going out tonight, I'm feelin' alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Want to make some noise, really raise my voice
Yeah, I want to scream and shout, ah...
As the song went on, it was clear that Skye had emulated the video moves many times. And fortunately, she wasn't too bad especially when hiding under Em's voice. Though occasionally - she'd over emphasize a phrase or two with a bit of extra sass.

He sits back down to enjoy his drink too, while Levon has to down his drink after losing his first arm wrestling bout. His attention turns to the singers for the moment, and asks Miranda, "You said you sing in a choir. A church choir or something else?" He nods to the small stage. "You going to give it a try after them?" | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 Wizop Administrator | | OP Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 | She smiles.
"No, I sing in the Uni gospel choir. Love the music."
She sips her drink.
"I'd be happier singing with others, not used to performing on my own. Duet maybe?" | | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,298 Likes: 1 Administrator | | Administrator Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,298 Likes: 1 | Henri
He grins back and says, "Sure, but I'll need another beer, I think."
Henri figures a little liquid courage will help him, and also offer a good excuse for his potentially bad singing. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,979 Likes: 1 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,979 Likes: 1 | Levon
"Yeah. We all met there. How about you chaps? First, who wants to embarrass me next?"
He sits at the ready for the next arm wrestling bout.

Steve steps forward with a grin.
"Give it a try I guess."
He assumes the position.

They'd sang through the first first and chorus. Skye was still leaning into it with abandon.
"The girls need a break-tonight we’re gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don’t need romance-we only wanna dance
We’re gonna let our hair hang down
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun
Oh, oh, oh....."
She bumped Em's hip to urge the younger woman to take a bigger lead. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 Wizop Administrator | | OP Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 | [ooc Waiting for Mina & Levon ] | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,979 Likes: 1 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,979 Likes: 1 | Levon
"Well then, let's give it a try."
He grasps Steve's hand for the wrestle.

Perhaps his cheering was a distraction in the last one, so seeing Levon setup for a second round Henri will hold any cheer until after Levon wins. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 Wizop Administrator | | OP Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 | This one is an easy win for Levon.
"Guess you have the hang of it now."
Steve looks sheepish. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,298 Likes: 1 Administrator | | Administrator Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,298 Likes: 1 | Henri
Seeing Levon win easily, he claps his hands and says, "Way to go, Levon!"
To Miranda he says, "I think I see why all of you like martial arts. It is not all about being tough. It is a discipline, and with it the will to succeed in anything you want to do." | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 Wizop Administrator | | OP Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 | Miranda
"Definitely a mind over matter thing. You need technique sure but you have to have the belief to apply it effectively."
She takes a sip of her drink.

"I got to know Levon and Skye through the sound studio, since I'm studying to be a sound engineer. I shared a couple of computer classes with Emma. Ian, I got to know through Levon and Skye." | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 Wizop Administrator | | OP Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,561 Likes: 58 | Miranda
"Uni is a great place for meeting people and for trying out new things. So what are your ambitions with sound? Want to work in a recording studio?"
She smiles, seeming quite relaxed. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,298 Likes: 1 Administrator | | Administrator Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,298 Likes: 1 | Henri
"Oh, definitely. I grew up around a sound stage as my sister raised me when my father passed. As a kid I liked watching all the different switches and levels the engineers used when my sister was recording for various bands."
Memories flow across his mind, as he returns her smile with his and then takes a gulp of his beer. Sitting on a spinning stool in one studio when he was about nine years old, one nice technician even allowed him to flick a few buttons during sound checks but was never allowed to touch anything during an actual recording.
"You said your taking medical engineering. What would be your dream job once you graduate?"
