[BACKSIM] PNPC Lieutenant Sylvie Doucet - The Spirit of Karaoke
V'Nille
(( Lounge, Mission Pod Level B, USS Chin’toka ))
Doucet: Yup! I have no idea who put all this together but I consider them a genius, honestly. A lot of the music is from Earth, so I assume they were humans. Some of the songs are from Vulcan and Andoria, though, and of course, the computer itself can play anything stored in the ship’s library.
Dasal: Hum I’ve never heard Andoria music. Note for self to look up later… What kind of music is your favorite? Or what would you pick to sing?
He held out a PADD containing the full catalog at her and she glanced at it, then at him with her hand half reaching for it.
Doucet: Are you asking me to choose? ::grins:: You might not like my tastes.
Dasal: I’ll sing whatever you pick at least one. Just no holoimages, I don’t need blackmail on my first day.
Sylvie chuckled and shook her head before accepting the PADD. She flipped through it idly and landed on a song from a band that apparently performed in the 1990s, just over four hundred years ago. She picked a song at random.
Doucet: “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys. You look like you would have fit in with them.
The doctor held out the screen for him to see before confirming the choice. He fumbled around with the mic a bit before getting into the song.
oO I wonder how he would handle late 21st century English. Thankfully, the computer translates the lyrics into Federation Standard. Oo
Dasal: 🎶You are… my fire… the one… de-si-er, believe… when I say. I want it that away. 🎶
Dasal made a brave attempt at the song, stumbling through the words. It was a dramatic performance, complete with missed notes, half-audible words, and … interesting gestures and facial expressions. At least it was entertaining, seemingly more to him than her honestly.
It was as if the spirit of karaoke possessed the Angosian.
She clapped politely at the end of the song and gave him a smile.
Doucet: Good job, Korin. Karaoke might be your calling. ::chuckles:: I wouldn't suggest you go and actually join a boy band though.
Dasal: Response
She waved him off, then set the PADD down on the table.
Doucet: Oh no, I don’t do karaoke unless I’m drinking too and right now, we’re still on duty … ::holds her hand up:: slow as it is.
Dasal: Response
Doucet: Sure, maybe next time we’re both off or one of the crew parties. For now, let’s go back to Sickbay, aye?
Dasal: Response
Sylvie reached out to pat the taller man’s arm, smiling up at him, then gestured for him to follow her back out of the room and into the turbolift. It was time for them to get back to work.
