As soon as the previously annoying girl picked the song, Markus forgave her. Not only was it a lovely choice, but it would be amusing to watch this inexperienced grouch try to sing that pile of mush. In fact, when he started, he was so amused that he nearly cracked up. Didn't quite though, since Veith's performance was... lacking to say the least.

"More emotion, child," Yes, he was going to call him 'child' from now on, because it seemed like he needed so much guidance. Even in something so simple as showing emotion while singing such a heartfelt song. He pushed the microphone back to Veith and only sung a couple of lines quietly so he could get the tone right. Since they missed a line or two because of Veith being shy, he had to skip ahead a little,

"Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on... Now go. And be passionate!"

He flicked his tongue out when he noticed a new person enter the room, wondering if this was going to turn into some karaoke party. He certainly hoped not.

Storm sat at a table not far off from the group of students. They were attempting to sing some sort of song. It gave Storm the distraction that he wanted. He Pushed away his books and leaned back in his chair putting his hands up on his head, relaxing into the moment. He hardly knew the men up on stage singing but he did know that they were horrible! He chuckled softly with a smile on his face. Another one, kasie, came in and greeted them all. He gave an amused grin in her direction.

This reminded him of the many times in the past when he sat at a piano and played show tunes for the men and women in the saloons and bars and taverns and inns. So many places and faces and songs. In the end he missed all those days yet was completely glad to be in this moment as well. Such a contradiction he was.

Veith frowned. Well, he was already frowning so he just frowned even more so his face probably looked like a big wrinkle or something. "I'm just assuming you're telling me to shout." Veith said as he narrowed his eyes at Markus as he took the microphone from him.

He glanced at the screen. "Near... Far... Wherever you are..." Veith said flatly with a louder voice. Since he didn't know the tune, it was just one... note. All his singing was done in one note since he had no idea how to do other notes. "I believe that the heart will go on--"

What in the-- KASIE!? Veith dropped the microphone and froze like a deer caught in headlights and his face was so hot, he felt like it was going to explode like a volcano.

And possibly, his soul might be traveling out of his mouth and moving on because, dammit, she probably might tell Sethrian and Kamil about ths.

Markus was only distracted for a brief moment while that strange girl ran off to go talk to the new guy with the big books. Hopefully she wasn't recruiting another person into this train wreck. And, if she was, hopefully he was capable of showing at least a little more emotion than Veith. Because, jeez, the child seemed soulless.

He was just about to complain about Veith's flat voice during one of the more emotional parts when that nosey ghost girl just had to burst in. And say something like that. Why would he have a male mate? It made no sense. He couldn't bear him any children, and even if he could, they would probably be weak and scrawny like him. Well, maybe he could get some passion out of Veith, whether it was positive or negative. And it would be good revenge for... something. Maybe something he may do to annoy him later. He'll just be getting revenge early.

"Kasie, babe, didn't you know? This man has always been in my heart," Yep, acting skills were great to have right now. Especially when he saw Veith's gaping mouth and thought of the most evil way to make his act much more convincing. He grabbed Veith (rather roughly, of course, since this was a bit torturous for him as well), and snogged him. Or, at least it looked like it to everyone else. He made sure to place a carefully concealed hand over Veith's mouth to avoid getting any of his germs. And he felt no shame for this either. This was just another act to him, though it wasn't a very enjoyable one.

”All say, ‘How hard it is that we have to die’
- A strange complaint to come

It was so nice and cheery with the two blondes, and yet, it was just awkward with Veith and Markus. Judging by the look on Veith's face, she stumbled into some trifling matter that should have been kept a secret. Oops. She didn't mean to put them on the spotlight, but it was just the strangest discovery. However, it certainly seemed like they weren't affected mainly Markus since they decided to broadcast their affections to everyone.

"......" For once, Kasie was speechless because all that went through her head was a single 'WHAAAAAAA?!. Just like what that blonde chick said, she had to agree. Totally. Unexpected. It was a long moment before she finally blurted out the first thing that came into mind. "Congratulations! You two make a lovely couple, so I'll make sure to spread the word?! I hope that you both are happy and get married with lots of kids. I mean.... I don't know if you can have any, but who knows? Adoption is always an option, and there could always be some sort of male pregnancy thing and stuff. Anyway, er... Go get a room you two!" That didn't sound right, and what was with the extremely loud volume? Awkward~.

Storm was still trying to figure out which one was the pansypants and which one was Mr. Crabby when He was suddenly being threatened for standing her up. Or perhaps it was a warning not to stand her up. But before that realization came to The men on stage began snogging.

Its not like that was the first time he had seen men going after each other. In fact living this long you have seen things you wish you hadnt. Fallen for men you really didnt want to fall for. All the same, he gave out a Whoop of agreement and laughed wholeheartedly urging the men on. He missed those days where Men could express his feelings openly without repercussions. Though the other guy seemed to be devastated kicking and trying to make it look like it wasnt his true feelings at all. He seemed way too flustered about the passionate kiss to even talk straight. "Dude no point in hiding it! Express how you feel!" He hollered to veith.

in the end he turned to tshila and softly brushed the back of her upper arm and leaned in to whisper in her ear.
"You dont have to act tough dear.. The ocean is the love of my life, and your beauty is a close second... i wouldnt pass up a moment like that..." He let his words drift and he glanced back up at the stage as if he hadnt said anything to her at all.

"It's like watching a really, really bad drama," Tshila said when a third guy showed up and started talking about taking care of Veith. "I wonder why Crabby is so popular though." Sure, he was attractive. But the personality left much to be desired. then again, she really should just stop expecting normal reactions from people here.

She shivered slightly when Storm ran his fingers over the back of her arms. Ooh! Ticklish! She giggled. There he went again. Flatterer.

She set a hand on his shoulder and leaned up to rest her chin on his shoulder. "I'd believe it more if you weren't so distracted by the other people in the room," she teased, flicking his earlobe.
