"Good work O'Malley. It really shows how we run things around here. We may be a bit destructive but we get things done and prevent worse things from happening. You go around eating random cows at night Shive?"
At this time Mercurio had gotten up and walked over to the group of would-be singers.
"Hey can I get in on this too? It looks like so much fun."
Shiryu proceeded to haul Shive back up to his chair so that no one would trip over or step on him. Just now taking notice of the silver robotic newcomer near the entrance he promptly invited him to come sit at the table with himself, Sol, and Shive.
"Hey why don't you come over here and take a seat. We can help you get situated here in Nightshade."
He pushed out a chair on the last line as the new member moved towards the table.

Kyokan, had his jaws not been sealed shut by the facial armor, would have bit his lip in insecurity. The Eva hesitantly approached the group that practically surrounded the emerald wyrm that Artecaex had directed him too.He just couldn't shake the feeling of overwhelming power that eminated from the dragon, like he was nothing but an ant compared to the other.
"H-Hello..." Kyokan began as he sat down at the offered chair. Something didn't feel right to the Eva in regards to the dragon.
Solranous turned his head to look at Kyokan, "Yes?" was the dragon's simple question, yet it started to unnerve the Eva.
Kyokan clenched his fist, unable to form words in the fear of somehow angering the mighty dragon so close to him.
Solranous shrugged, "Take your time if you feel worried about something."
Kyokan's eye unnoticably twitched. This other being was so powerful, and yet, so relaxed, he figured he could say many different things to the dragon, and he wouldn't ever get annoyed. However, the dragon was clearly much more powerful then he was, and he didn't want to push his luck and bring the dragon's wrath down. The Eva kept his peace, waiting for one of the others to speak first.
Kisara blinked as Mercurio came over, and smiled, "Sure, the more the merrier, and we were going to leave it open for anybody who wanted to... but..." she paused to gesture to O'Malley, "It's his place though, and we'll have to get his permission first before we start anything..."

Before O'Malley hopped off of the stage, unplugging the cord, he barked,
"Oh... and I'm sure some of you'll be wanting to do some karioke, so..."
Several microphones on stands shot out of the stage, and the droid exited the platform, waving his hand as he added,
"It's all yours, anyone who wants to go. Just tell me the song before hand, and I'll upload it..."
He plopped back down into his seat at Lora's table, muttering,
"Well that was interesting... can I go home now?"
Lora laughed, then playfully shook a finger at him, replying,
"No, not yet. There are srill people here, and you can't leave until the last one does."
O'Malley let out a mechanical sigh, shoulder slumping at the words, then laughed.
"Alright, alright..." He 'groaned'.
Lora leaned closer to him and smirked, asking,
"So.... is the band gonna play?"
O'Malley laughed, then abruptly replied,
"Maybe..."
Meanwhile, as Shive got back into his seat, he replied to Shiryu warily,
"Uhh.... no..."
The dragonkin paused, then looked around, muttering below hearing level,
"Where'd those two go...?"
It's been about a year now... I gotta do somethin' for it after the party...
He glanced up at the karioke mikes, then scratched his chin, adding,
Or during...
The man in the white jacket/coat was sitting back at the table with Ingram, smirking as the video stopped, then let out a merry chuckle. Ingram merely watched the screen with indifference, then glanced about and asked,
"Where's ZX-Tole?"
The spectacled man scowled slightly, replying,
"Outside, most likely... you know how that Zoanoid is."
Ingram merely nodded, staring ahead blankly. Mortis's tail swayed, eyes falling away from the screen as he still clutched to Cynder, then slowly gave a half-hearted smirk.

Mercurio noticed that O'Malley had left the stage open for karaoke. She asked the group, "Well what should we start with? I'm sure he has a decent setlist as is and could easily get more if we need to."
Meanwhile Shiryu shifted in his chair feeling uncomfortable because the newcomer felt the same way as well. Finally fed up with the akward silence he starts the conversation going again.
"So newcomer what might your name be, I go by the name of Shiryu. You seem to be uncomfotable around us but no worries we're all pretty nice guys here. Feel free to speak your mind around us and we'll listen and help anyway we can possible."
The video was still on his mind a bit however. In some circumstances the group that was saving the world seemed to be doing selfish tasks. Overall he realized just how destructive this small group could be now should something completely awry. After banishing these thoughts he turned back to the conversation he had just tried to start.
"I'm curoius about you as well newcomer you look mechanical but I sense some sort other organic being behind this shell. It's unlike anything I've ever felt before."
After saying his last bit he finally shifted to a truly relaxed postition knowing that something would come of his efforts.

Kyokan cleared his throat, he could tell that speaking to this person would be much easier, so he decided to stay low for now and 'work his way up' as it were.
"My name is Shiruba-Kyokan, but feel free to just refer to me as Kyokan." The Eva responded to Shiryu.
"As for Why you sense both mechanical and organic components within me... its rather predictable. An Evangelion unit is essentially a living being, but supported... and yet restrained by this mechanical armor." Kyokan continued.
"My nervousness, though... is from the fear of bringing down the wrath of those far greater then myself. Even now, I can feel it in my core just a fraction of his power..." Kyokan glanced at Solranous at that. "However, its probably better if we just begin with introductions..."
The emerald wyrm in question nodded with a smile, "Aye, Name's Solranous." He then held out a hand to the Eva, who grabbed and shook it, "A pleasure to meet you."
"The same..." The Eva responded, mentally thinking how surprisingly easy it could be to talk to the emerald dragon when they started with the basics. Maybe it would be a lot easier then he originally anticipated.
Kisara blinked in surprise when the mics came up, "Well, that was easy, but I don't know what I wanna sing yet..." She then furrowed her eyebrows, and glanced at Myrr and Xeno, "What about you two?"
The sisters gave various forms of negative responses, before the three of them turned to Mercurio, letting the unasked question hang in the air.

Mercurio jumped in surprise when the family of Sol looked at her. She blushed and began making nervous movements.
"Um well we could open up with a group song perhaps. If not then I'm rather partial to singing "The Middle". But I don't know if I can do this its my first time doing a performance because the only other person that's heard my singing is Shiryu though he seems to enjoy listening when he's not busy."
Shiryu shifted towards the Eva named Kyokan. He was wary about him but could tell that he had a good spirit within.
"So now that we know who you are we can better help you. And forgive my prying earlier but its just this is the first few weeks I've been in this day and age since I awoke from my thousand year rest. So how can we help you since you found a rather peaceful time to emerge here Kyokan."
Shiryu relaxed a bit as he watched the group of girls begin to slowly move Mercurio to the stage.
"Now what the devil is going on there?"

a moment later Draco skipped in and stopped next to Shiryu.
"Hey I heard someone karaoke was I right?"
A loud crash was heard and Blaze stumbled in the room holding a piece of uneaten rum cake
"OH LOOK! a party.... IMPOSSIBLE!"
He walked over and sat on Shives shoulders and began looking around, smelling his cake.

Shiryu greeted Draco as he stopped at his side.
"Nice to see you again Draco I presume that you found Blaze alright. Oh by the way meet a fellow newcomer, Shiruba Kyokan.", he said motioning towards the silver Eva.
Meanwhile Mercurio found herself right at the base of the stage staring up at it in wonder.
"Guys I don't know if I'm ready to do this yet. Why can't one of you go first?"
Shiryu reaches out to greet Blaze with a handshake, "It's a pleasure to finally meet you Blaze. I've heard a bit about you from the locals but not much. So you like karaoke as well maybe we can get my girl Mercurio up there to sing if someone gets up there and shows its all fun and games."

Garrett was staring up at the stage, leaning back on his chair with his booted feet up on the table. He chewed lightly on his lip as Ryouki came back in, sitting next to the teen and asked,
"Thinkin' about it, aren't you?"
The teen slowly nodded in reply, and Ryouki added,
"I say ya should... you've got some steam to blow off anyway."
Garrett shot him a dirty look, then sighed, muttering,
"I'll wait..."
Meanwhile, O'Malley did a double-take at Blaze and Draco, then muttered with a mental facepalm,
"Ugh... not those two..."
He resisted the urge to walk over to Blaze and break his knees, but grumbled about doing so nonetheless. Lora sighed and roled her eyes, glancing over at the conglomeration of women, and thought about investigating the situation. She too, then glanced up at the stage, then glanced unnoticeably at O'Malley before giving a small smile, and glanced back before O'Malley could catch her looking.
I bet I could get him up there... She thought.
Shive sat quietly with the others as Kyokan made his introduction, preffering to make introduce himself to the Eva only until the others all did. He pause,d then looked upwards at Blaze before cackling and grabbing the anthro, hefting him into the air.
"Didn't think you'd make it!" Shive laughed.

On the roof, Gurren Lagann stands, his arms crossed and his eye looking towards the moon. The luminous orb had been drawing closer to the Earth. The prophecy was going to be true. Gurren Lagann then spots something in the distance. It was a lion like shape, but it was completely white and could almost barely be seen. The red machine narrows his eyes to see closer, but a cloud of dust sweeps over the form and it vanishes.
Gurren Lagann shakes his head and rubs his eyes. damn...I'm seeing things... Gurren thinks to himself. He turns to the stair, wondering what the other robots where doing.
Downstairs, Great Mazinger releases a hidden, but drunken glare at the Evangelion that just arrived. He didn't like this...."robot". Whatever it was. Great Mazinger continues drinking, still glaring at the cyborg. Burning Gundam notices this and looks at the Mazinger. He shakes it off and offers his hand of greeting. "I am Burning Gundam. Pleased to meet you." the robot says. He looks to Great Mazinger and speaks, "He's Great Mazinger. But I'd worry about him if I were you, he's kind of drunk at the moment."
The Gundam tries to put on a smile to make the Eva not notice the Mazinger's glare. The Mazinger takes another chug of his drink and looks at the Evangelion, waiting for the "robot" to return a hand shake.

Kyokan hesitantly returned the gesture, shaking hands with Burning Gundam, "I am Kyokan, Shiruba-Kyokan." the Eva responded. He worriedly glances at Great Mazinger, noting the glare despite the Gundam's attempts to divert attention from it.
"I'll... remember to tread lightly around him..." the Eva muttered, motioning to Great Mazinger.
Kisara shook her head, "Eh, we'll be heading up with you as a group like you first suggested, same song you tossed out too, Sol knows the song will help us with the words so we don't screw it up."
The sisters gave gentle encourgement to the reaper and nudged her in an attempt to get her on stage.
Seeing as the reaper was refusing to go any further, the two Myrrs jumped up first and each grabbed a hand lightly.
"C'mon, nothing to be worried about, what's the worst they could do?" Xeno asked rhetorically.
"You'll do fine, just don't worry about it so much." Myrr continued.
Even Kisara jumped up with the Myrrs, before turning to Mercurio.
"Besides, you need to be a little more adventurous around here. Nothing to gain if you shy away everytime." she told the reaper.

Draco walked over to Shive and explained.
"excuses me sir but, I just feel that you need to know that Blaze here can't really hold his liquor, he just smelled a piece of cake with rum in it, and now hes pretty hammered."
The Wolf anthro took the cake from Blaze and told Shiryu the same before he sat in a nearby chair and looked around smiling, enjoying himself.
The half dragon wined a bit at the loss of his food then looked down at Shive.
"YOU THERE...SHIVE! Yea thats right I know your name. Just look at you....with your arms and such! IM, Im n-not just another guy for you to lift into the air, like some doll. I'll open up a can-o whoop-ass onYA! YEA!"
The anthro fell out of Shives grasp and hit the floor with a 'thud' before continuing on with more nonsensical rambling.

Shive blinked down at Blaze, then picked him up by the tail and threw him into a seat next to Draco, laughing.
"Boy, do we have to go over this again? I can pop your head like a grape with my jaws alone!" He barked, chuckling.
He then glanced at the stage, seeing the two Myrr's and Kisara try to get Mercurio onto the platform.
"Oh-ho? Stage fright, methinks... does not work well in a group performance." He pondered aloud.
He blinked, then glanced at Kyokan and muttered politely,
"Shive. Nice to meet ya."
O'Malley shook his head after watching Blaze's antics, then leaned over to Lora and muttered, gesturing to the stage,
"What... not gonna jump in?"
Lora raised her hands defensively and rapidly shook her head, replying,
"Uh... no..."
Garrett leaned back further in his seat, watching the four women take the stage. Lost in though, he leaned back a bit to far and fell backwards with a crash, causing Ryouki to glance down and stare for a few moments before letting out a short, barking laugh.

((Song is " The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World)) As the entire group got up on the stage Mercurio took the head mic. The music began and Mercurio let loose with unparalleled vocals for one so shy and nervous. "Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out
Or looked down on
Just try your best, try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves
When you're away." On the chorus the group sang in sync together fairly well on such short notice. "It just takes some time, little girl in the middle of the ride
(over, and over)
Everything, everything will be just fine (over, and over)
Everything, everything it'll be alright "(alright) At the end of the chorus the two Myrr's shifted to the head position for the next section of the song. The pair sang in perfect harmony together as the song rolled on. "Hey, you know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own (on your own)
So don't buy in.
Live right now
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough
For someone else" All but in better sync this time: "It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the
ride (over, and over)
Everthing, everything it'll be just fine (over, and over)
Everything, everything it'll be alright (alright)
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the
ride (over, and over)
Everything, everything it'll be just fine (over, and over)
Everything, everything it'll be alright (alright)" The Myrr's then left the lead to Kisara for the final section of the song. She took the head mic with authority and let the lyrics fly. "Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out
Or looked down on
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts, are gonna say" Mercurio adn the Myrr sisters joined back in with Kisara and had their voices synced to near perfection for the last chorus. "It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the
ride (over, and over)
Everything, everything it'll be just fine (over, and over)
Everything, everything it'll be alright (alright).
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the
ride (over, and over)
Everything, everything It'll be just fine (over, and over)
Everything, everything it'll be alright (alright)" The music faded and the group stood at the stage awaiting the reactions of the other party-goers. Shiryu called out and cheered happy to see Mercurio finally come out of her shell if only for a bit. He could tell that she was loving the song at every second whether she was singing it or not. This eased his mind knowing that she could at least open up to others if something should ever happen to him. |

Kisara and the two Myrrs grinned, and gave a thumbs up to Mercurio, "See, it isn't so bad," Kisara told the reaper. Solranous grinned and clapped to the quartet.
"Bravo you four, bravo." the dragon called up to them.
Kyokan just looked around, confused as to what was suppose to be going on. All he knew... he realized, was that he was made for a war that he is likely no longer able to participate in... he couldn't understand anything else.
Bloodshed, weapons fire, war, death... that was all he knew for certain, and it saddened him... but even that was dull.
'I'm... just a weapon...' the Eva thought with what he assumed was sadness. 'A weapon... without an enemy to wound or kill.'
The Eva's shoulder's sagged, and his head was soon hung low. He was so disturbed by this revalation that he didn't notice when Shive introduced himself.
Cynder sighed to herself. She wanted to do something to cheer up Mortis, or at least try to, but she just couldn't think of a song that would help soothe the azure wyrmling.
'I need some inspiration...' Cynder decided.
