Renewal
Vincent smiled and waved to the cab as it departed, some old acquaintances of his already calling it a night. After his talk with Kristoff, and some more work on his project, he'd decided to treat himself to a night out. He hadn't really hit the club circuit in a while, and it felt good to get out and feel the pulse of the city again.

Adjusting his scarf, (he didn't really need it, but it completed his look), he strode down the street, waiting for another drink special, smell of food, or song to catch his attention and lure him inside.

It had been some time since she had left her brother and sister and the others, appointing the mortal, Dawn Roberts, to watch over both them and Zoey.

In that time, she had learned much, arranged a few... specific events, and traveled amongst the mortals, seeing how they viewed the world, and made their way in it.

Cloaked in mortal garb, she again found herself in New York City, making her way through the streets.

She passed someone she thought familiar and turned, realizing her thought was true. "Vincent?" she called out.

	He hesitated, then his head turned. That voice.. "A-- ASLEIF!" His eyes widened as he saw her, and he bolted to her, vaulting a trash can to avoid colliding with another pedestrian. He threw his arms around her. "I.. I thought you were..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Alsief returned the hug, grateful to see her friend again, especially after so long a time away. She supposed she should have come to see him sooner, truthfully. But she had not realized just how much she had been missed either...

"I was... displaced, for a time," she told him, speaking in the words of mortals. She had become practiced with it over her sojourn, along with what fragment of Dawn's memories remained with her. "Penance for my arrogance."

	"Penance..." Vincent shakes his head, still holding onto her, although taking the time to silently weave a spell to verify it was her. Take him for a fool if this had been some sort of trap. "I'm familiar with the concept." He loosens his hold enough to pull back and look at her. "I didn't think I'd see you again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My life for that of a mortal's I all but ended. And the chance to see the world through new eyes," Asleif said. "I am sorry to have worried you so." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm glad you are yourself once more." Vincent smiles. He finally takes a step back and looks her over, smirking to see her in 'mortal' clothing. "Or so I thought." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2010-11-06 01:16 am UTC (link)
	She smiled ever so slightly. "I am yet myself. My perspectives have simply... expanded." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-11-06 01:28 am UTC (link)
	There is nothing slight about Vincent's own smile. "Well then, oh venerable culture warrior, might I assist you with your explorations?" He seems content. "I was happy when we spent time together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2010-11-06 01:55 am UTC (link)
	Her smile grew a bit bigger. "As was I," she said. "One of precious few happy memories in some time. Your assistance would please me greatly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have been told my singing voice is... not entirely unpleasant," Asleif told him, smiling again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vincent just smirks as he gets out his phone and dials a number. Speaking Japanese, he exchanges a few bits of information as he raises an arm to hail a cab. (He could have flown them, but he was making an effort to be less reliant on magic for everyday things.)

"Arigato. Mousugu tsukimasu." He ends the call just about the same time as he's opening the door for Asleif.

"I've made us reservations at a place I like. I'll call some other people along the way to help fill the room. Karaoke is best done as a group."

	quitethecharmer 2010-11-07 12:07 am UTC (link)
	"Musical selections altered to remove the original vocal components, hooked up to an apparatus to allow others to sing instead." Vincent smiles. "It ranges from entertaining to hilariously painful." He starts sending out a mass text. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What strange things mortals doth invent, to pass their brief time," Asleif mused, slipping briefly back into more formal speech. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent snorts lightly, feigning umbrage. "Well, when we needn't spend our time fending off frost giants, dark elves, and trolls, it leaves us much free time for ingenuity." (Reply to this)(Parent)

At the Karaoke Parlor

Vincent escorted Asleif into the room as they were shown to it. It was spacious, with couches lining most of the walls, tables with books full of song listings and menus, and even some gentle spotlights on a miniature stage. Two monitors showed some Japanese animated feature while no song was selected.

He thanked the attendant and put in an initial order for some drinks and snacks, before sitting down to look up the new additions to the database.

Shanna had been surprised by the invite. But given how poor her social life was right now she decided she would go. Trying to make ends meet on Earth was harder than she thought it would be.

But tonight she wasn't going to dwell on that. She put on her netter clothing and made her way to the karaoke place and greeted Vincent and his friend with a cheery smile.

"Hi! Thanks for inviting me... And who might your friend be?" She smiles in an open bubbly manner in Aslief's direction.

	"I am Asleif," she said. "It is a pleasure to meet a friend of Vincent's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Karaoke Parlor quitethecharmer 2010-11-07 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	Vincent gives Shanna a hug in greeting, smiling at both of them. "Asleif, this is my friend, Shanna. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume this will be her first bout with karaoke as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No. Actually we have something like this o my home world," she says with a smile. "You drink a lot and sing popular songs together, yes? It seems much the same." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Karaoke Parlor godlierthanthou 2010-11-08 06:12 pm UTC (link)
	This tickled Asleif's amusement. "It would seem to be the same wherever you go. Though I suspect the words are cruder where I come from." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I vaguely remember something about fleeing Hildy's home with Moira and Danielle when Volstagg got into some very old mead and started on hunting songs." Vincent shrugs as he sits back down and finally chooses a song. He takes care to show the girls how the remote works with this setup as he selects "This Afternoon" by Nickelback.

	"Your childhoods must have been more... adventurous than my own," Shanna comments. "On my world we are taught early on. There is little time for play. We have too much to do. I have heard the lands you come from have seasons, Aslief. Is that true?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Karaoke Parlor godlierthanthou 2010-11-14 03:04 am UTC (link)
	"Ever has the Golden Realm been one of adventure," Asleif agreed. "And aye, there be seasons in Asgard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vincent smiles at the two at least being able to make small-talk as he takes on the first couple verses.

"Oh, looking like another Bob Marley day
Hitting from the bong like a diesel train
And now we're hanging out this afternoon

We got weeds in the backyard, four feet tall
Cheech and Chong probably would have smoked them all
So, I'm on the couch this afternoon"

He pushes the spare microphones towards them in case they want to take this song on.

	Shanna shakes her head. She doesn't know this song so she'll sit this one out. "We... don't have the kinds that Earth does. Not at the same lengths anyways," Shanna offers with a silm shrug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Karaoke Parlor godlierthanthou 2010-11-22 02:29 am UTC (link)
	Asleif shook her head as well. She was not familiar enough with the material. "I think... I shall pass on this one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Karaoke Parlor quitethecharmer 2010-11-22 03:03 am UTC (link)
	Vincent shrugs and finishes out the song happily, then helping them look through the books as the snacks arrive. He helps himself to some edamame and pocky. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Shanna is careful to go for things she knows won't cause a reaction. Then looks over a song list and starts giggling when she finds this one song. "I'll try this one at some point," she decides out loud not bothering with the name. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Karaoke Parlor godlierthanthou 2010-11-22 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	Asleif peered over her shoulder to see what choice she had made. "Interesting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Karaoke Parlor quitethecharmer 2010-11-23 11:23 pm UTC (link)
	Vincent grins and opens a can of soda for himself, urging Shanna on. "Go ahead, give it your best shot." (Reply to this)(Parent)
