Theme: 15. Once More

November 10, 2010

"Why are we here again?" Maka asked, her hand tugging on the microphone Black Star was hogging. "I don't know how much longer my ears can take this without bleeding."

"Shut," Black Star sang, each word being drawn out longer than the last, "up—Maka—at least—I don't—sound like a—dying cat! Oh baby!"

"What!" Maka shouted and made a quick move to attack the assassin, but was held back by Soul. With the swift tug to hold her back, she wound up in her partner's lap.

Liz and Patty were harassing Kid, who was judging how symmetrical the room was and freaking out about it; he wouldn't bother singing until he found perfection. However, the Thompson sisters' harassment included lots alcohol, courtesy of Blair. She was sitting cozy on the other side of Soul, taunting him and Maka for their newly acquired position, squealing how "they should just do it already!" Crona just hid behind the couch.

Tsubaki watched the whole scene with half-lidded eyes, wondering how they had all made it to this point. Black Star's song ended; she didn't know how many of the words he actually sang, but she clapped a couple times for him in support. Black Star threw the microphone at Maka, who yelped when it knocked her head, before grabbing the cup Tsubaki had been drinking out of.

After taking a large gulp, he coughed. "Tsubaki, this isn't water!"

"It's not? I've been drinking it all night," she said, smiling at him. She giggled, and then waved the idea off with a flit of her hand.

"Alright, who spiked her drink?" Black Star said, swinging around, not even bothering to scan his friends before landing on Blair who was pretending to look innocent and failing.

"Oh, forget about it," Tsubaki sighed, tugging Black Star back to sit down next to her. "Just sing with me! Once more! After Soul and Maka get their turn, and whoever else wants to sing, so it'll be fair."

"If you say so…" he responded, unsure. Taking her cup, he continued to drink. "We're getting more of this, right?"

"Yes, yes."
