In the spirit of the recent Ministry Karaoke Night to bring in the New Year, your friendly neighborhood cashier decided he wanted to start a weekly karaoke night. Not exclusive to only ministry employees this time - although ministry employees are welcome.
Plastering signs up for the first weekly karaoke night, to be held on Friday nights because where else would you want to spend your Friday night except for singing terrible showtunes and meeting new friends - or reconnecting with old friends.
As you make your way through the hidden doorway to the dive you either have been before or only just discovered, you'll find yourself in the playfully decorated room of the Trumpeting Augurey. Whether you're here for a new brew to end your week, to try pizza with pickles, or to hopefully make Wizarding London realize you're the next big thing up on stage- the choice is yours. Kick back, relax, enjoy a pleasant night with friends or enemies!
ooc: Open RP thread for any character 18+ ... you're welcome to play as many or few characters as you feel you can handle =) If you have any questions or concerns, please ask me!

Was Adrian Quinn ready for this? Absolutely. But was all of London ready to put their earplugs in because he was definitely not the greatest of singers, even if he did enjoy it. "Come along, Bo," he said quietly to the blank space by his side, as he moved into the small karaoke bar to set up for tonights event. And hopefully he'd get a good crowd, yet even if not, the 21 year old was definitely keen on singing by himself. Or just to his "dog"....

It was James' turn to pick the shenanigans of the weekend and after the penthouse meeting for picking the day that worked best - much to the protest of some that Friday was being used for bromancing and not other things - the 20-year-old had announced that they would go check out the local karaoke dive's offering. Maybe they could make it a monthly thing or something. Every Friday was a bit much and their schedules far too unpredictable for commitment.
James had also, because he couldn't help himself, put out the invitation to a few other people to maybe-sort-of-just-so-happen to have a run in with him at the Trumpeting Augurey. Hey, just because his roommates hadn't thought about this loophole didn't mean he wasn't going to exploit it to his benefit. Not like they had all signed a contract or anything only they had but shh.
Stepping into the place (he had a white shirt tucked into his back pocket) with his seven other modeling mates, he perused the place before playfully punching one of them in the arm and nodding his head towards the pizza. Pizza that clearly WASN'T cauliflower. That was his first stop and, without any further examination, nabbed himself a slice and took a bite............and them immediately spit it RIGHT back out and on to the floor.
"BLEH...what is wrong with this pepperoni?!" Or sausage or...whatever the hell this was.
WHY WAS IT GREEN?!
PEPPERONI WAS RED!
WAS HE GOING TO DIE?!

Andi finally had a night off from both of her jobs and a night out sounded like the perfect way to unwind for the weekend. She wasn't sure how she felt about karaoke, to be honest, but one of the girls from work promised this would be a good time. And so here she was with a handful of her coworkers.
The twenty year old would need a drink before she would get up on stage, but she already had a song in mind. Could she sing though? She could belt out a tune or two in the shower, so she thought this wouldn't be much different... just with a bunch of people watching her. And judging her. Because you know she'd be judging everyone else.
But before she could peruse the song choices or sign herself up or even get that drink, Andi's attention was drawn to a loud voice complaining about the pepperoni. Oh great, James Summers was here. And spitting out pizza onto the floor. "Ever hear of a napkin?" Because who spit out food on the floor??

He had come here looking for a good time and this pizza situation was ruining that ambition! Racking his tongue with his fingers, it was almost as though he were literally trying to scrap off his taste buds off. ANYTHING to get the taste GONE. So his tongue was hanging out in a rather unattractive manner when he heard someone talking to him, or he assumed it was him, and he turned around to see who it was.
Of course his first instinct was to drink this hot blonde in, but there was SOMETHING in her slight scowl and tone that was familiar.
OH WAIT! THIS WAS THE N3RD'S G1RL!
"It was reflex," he grumbled as he grabbed his wand from his pocket and banished the bit of half chewed dough and half massacred piece of pepperoni from the floor. "Don't eat the pizza. The pepperoni is spoiled," offers as a fair and entirely well intended warning. "You're a sight for sore eyes," he grinned over at her. "How's Jordan?"

Delyth honestly didn’t know what surprised her more today. The fact that James had invited her to a karaoke bar or that fact that she was turning up, straight after work, still in her high waisted denim jeans and tucked in vest top straight from work. It was true that technically, she wasn’t even supposed to be in work today but there was no rest for the weary and this was one exhausted curly haired witch.
But she was here! Let it not be said she didn’t turn up when invited and if she was being honest, it was only her cat and a Mediterranean Chicken salad waiting for her at home so really, who wouldn’t choose to venture out instead?
Sidling in, her bag over her shoulder, the curly haired blonde eyed the room for a moment as she took in her unfamiliar surrounding for a brief moment. Go. She hadn’t been in a dive bar properly since her days up in Edinburgh for university. Boy, those had been messy, messy days. Promising herself that she wouldn’t end up on top of the bar dancing tonight, she headed over to James, giving a few of his modelling friends a polite smile as she did so (or at least she guessed they were his friends).
Giving the other blonde he was talking to a friendly smile (Andi), she grinned a up at him from behind her long lashes, curious he’d exactly chosen this place to come out to. “Hey stranger. Thanks for the invite”.

James was unaware that he was quite literally playing with fire when it came to Andi, but even if he had known he probably still would have been acting like the same cheeky little bugger that he was. Self preservation was NOT in the deck of cards.
Though his attention was soon pulled to another blonde and his lips curled into a grin. "Heeeeeeeeey. You made it!" he greeted with an arm around her shoulder. "Delyth...Andi. Andi...Delyth. Don't eat the pizza. It's gone rancid."
And was the bloke all the way on the opposite side of the room the host because...yikes, my mate. Yikes.
"So...what'll it be. You. Me. A duet?" He wiggled his brows at her and ignored some of the eye rolls from his flatmates who were clearly just being bitter that they hadn't thought to do this themselves. "Or a trio?"
He would have put an arm around Andi's shoulders too but she was looking all disgusted still from him spitting up on the floor.
The pizza. It was the pizza's fault.

Delyth couldn’t help but smile as James as he introduced her, putting his arm around her now. He always seemed to have this aura about him as though he was a child that just got caught putting his hand in the cookie jar again but just needed that one last cookie. It was…amusing. Endearing even at times.
“Well, you invited me silly so I’m not exactly not going to turn up?” he sleek eyebrow now arched as she looked up at him, ignoring his pizza comment. She wasn’t the type to turn down an invite for fear of being rude, even if she had just finished work and in all probability looked like she was dying a thousand deaths.
Alas, she was here and ready to relax with a drink and maybe even a song or two, depending on if the drink turning into two or three. She really wasn’t the type to get up in front of people and sing but exceptions could be made at times. Believe it or not, she was a Gryffindor once. She could be brave. Maybe. “A duet? Hold your horses. I’ve come straight from work and you want me to just get up there and sing? No drink? Some gentleman he is” her eyes going over to the other blonde with them now. “Why don’t you come back with a drink, and then maybe we’ll consider it”. Playfully, she gave him a soft push and turned her back to him so that her and Andi could talk without him, giving him a cheeky wink as she did so.
Boys. Think they can have their own way all the time with minimal effort. The audacity. Giving Andi a look that clearly said "Sorry about that" she continued "Men these days. Honestly. Are there no gentleman around anymore?".
A sight for sore eyes? Was she? Andi might have expected pretty much any other man in existence to have thought that she was a sight for sore eyes because she knew she was quite attractive and her looks often worked in her favor. But James Summers wasn't exactly her favorite person, for reasons, and his comment took her by surprise.
"Right... I'll keep that in mind," she drawled, in response to the spoiled pizza remark, her eyes watching as he banished the spit-out piece from the floor. Gross. Even if she didn't follow his advice, her appetite for pizza was kind of ruined now. Maybe they had some good appetizers here though, because she'd need something to go with whatever she'd decide to drink.
"Jordan's great, actually," she informed him with a sweet smile, just a hint of defensiveness in her tone. Perhaps she should have invited him here, but she figured this wasn't really his scene. A girl's night with her work crew had sounded like a better plan. And before she could say anything else, a woman sidled up to James and Andi gave her a once over as the former Gryffindor slung an arm around her shoulder.
Delyth. "Nice to meet you," she said pleasantly enough, but she had come here on an invitation from James so Andi could only imagine what kind of girl she might be. And she was about to retort something smart back to him in regards to the trio, when the other woman spoke up first. Andi couldn't help but to let out a little laugh when she said the word gentleman, but the rest of what she said? Andi decided that maybe she liked this Delyth as she had quite a snappy comeback, even if she had terrible taste in men.
"Make it two drinks," she said to James sweetly, having no intentions on doing a duet or a trio, then turned her attention back to the other blonde. "Certainly not in this dive," she added with a laugh. "How do you know James?"
