Frankie sips her fermented fish sauce and tries to be casual. ...What do you all think of karaoke?

“I'm a terrible singer, so I don't do it.”

She was telling the truth there.

[TalesofUnder]

Ah... Tiger Telematics.

(The Nerd decks Tiger in the face.)

That's for making a shitty games system whose only use is as an ass-wiping aid!

[Zanreo]

"OW! Hey, what the fuck was THAT about?" Tiger punches the Nerd back. "And what the hell did you say about the Gizmondo?"

[Dookie]

“Hey!”

Cass stands between the two.

“Don't you think it's’ dumb that you're gonna start a fight because someone's name is a common word that is also the name of both an animal and a video game console?”

[Kennifer]

Tonya has kind of shrunk into the corner now, between their hostess kind of giving her the creeps and people looking like they're about to fight... this was not a good start to what she thought would be a fun gameshow thing.

[Zanreo]

"Well, you'd find it annoying too if people kept thinking you were someone else... besides, this bastard also started talking shit about my console!"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Then a black man with a white Armani suit and a purple shirt shows up.

Hey, now.... let's all keep cool here. We all gotta be friends here, you all feel me?

[PointMaid]

...I'm sure it was an honest mistake.

[Kennifer]

Tonya nods at the newcomer. She doesn't know who he is, of course, but what he says makes a lot of sense.

...besides that, she already admires his sense of style. She also thinks the loud girl in the fancy red hood has neat style but is pretty intimidated by her...

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Nice to meet y'all. Name's Lance Vance. Now save the jokes, I heard them all back in elementary school. Anyway, I'm new around here. Just came from Vice City.

[Kennifer]

"N...ice to meet you too, I'm Tonya. Oh. Um... someone mentioned karaoke? That... could be fun, um... I'm probably not the b...the best singer but I do like music."

She... okay, that's an attempt at a sweet smile but she still looks super nervous.

[PointMaid]

Frankie smiles too, genuinely at Tonya's interest in her karaoke idea, and a bit unsurely at Lance. Frankie.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Hey, hey, hey, Tonya and Frankie, Lance says with a chill laugh. Karaoke, sounds like fun. Don't worry about bein' the best, sista. Just get out there and do your thing, ya feel me? Lot more fun like that, you know?

[PointMaid]

...Wait, though. Is there a pool? We could have a pool party too. As long as you all brought your swimsuits, I guess. I don't need one.

[Dookie]

Wow. Someone cool and concise. Cass liked this guy.

“What's Vice City like? Also, nice to meet ya!”

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Ivi waves at Lance. "Hey, I like this guy! You know what you're talking about, you know! I agree; we should all get along, you know! And trying your best is always good; especially when it's something your passionate about. Anyways! I'm Ivi!"

[Kennifer]

"Well, that approach works um, when I play Guitar Hero, so..."

...ah, there's the genuine smile!

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Vice City is quite a town. All bright and colorful, beautiful to look at. But you gotta watch yourself too. Lotta people there who wanna kill you if you do one wrong thing. But get yourself a nice little hot piece like this, Lance says, answering Cass's questions about Vice City as he shows off his gun to prove his point, you'll make it just fine.

He puts away his gun.

Nice to meet y'all too, he says to Cass and Ivi, before he says to the latter, You're pretty cool, too. You got spirit. I like that.

[artsyGeek]

[A girl wearing a red jacket is here as well. Whether she's been here since earlier or just arrived is. .a bit dubious.]

". .hey."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Ivi looks at the Vance with a grin, and then glances to his gun. "Well then! Vice City sounds like a real interesting place to be in. Kinda reminds me of my home back in Helium City, you know! Nice gun! Pretty shiny."

They then look at the new girl. [/b] "Oh! Hey there, new kid! Come join us!"[/b]

[LavenderDream]

[A girl wearing a red jacket is here as well. Whether she's been here since earlier or just arrived is. .a bit dubious.]

". .hey."

Oh hello there! Scarlet exclaimed. Please go ahead, take a seat and introduce yourself!

[Zanreo]

"...Oh hey!" Tiger introduces himself to the new people. "I'm Tiger... Tiger Telematics!"

[artsyGeek]

"A-ah, nice to meet you all. My name's Wendy." [She says awkwardly as she joins in the others.]

[PointMaid]

Frankie also introduces herself to the newcomers...

[Dookie]

“So what's there to do? Can we check in yet?”
