KARAOKE PARTY!

[teenidollinda.livejournal.com]

Who: Linda, Kite, everyone else in the mansion who wants to come.
Where The Dining Room
When: Saturday Night, January 12th
Rating: PG. At most, PG 13.
Summary: Linda has been talking about a Karaoke Party with Kite for weeks now, and finally it’s a reality.
the Story:


The sky was darkening, and soon it would be night. It was almost time. Time for the party.

Linda had to thank the mansion. Over the past weeks, it had been giving her CD after CD and eventually a karaoke machine itself. By now, the musical collection for tonight was well into the thousands, containing any song that anyone ever might even think to sing. She was excited. No one would be left out because they lacked a song. In fact, no one would be left out. Or else.

Spinning about the dining room, a trail of confetti flying about behind her, Linda danced to the music in her head while finishing her decorations. Bowls of food and snacks lined the tables along the sides of room while a massive stage took up the back wall. All of which were now covered in a coat of confetti. The room seemed to sparkle, almost as if it wished to join in the party as well.

“Kite!” Linda called, “Kite! It’s like, almost totally time! We’ve got to like, totally greet everyone and stuff!”

"Silly... string?" Kite stared blankly. What the heck was this 'silly string'? And... 'boom box'? Did it explode? He wasn't entirely sure what to think of this threat. "Ah, plan...?" As usual, Beast Boy just confused him, but at least he wasn't having a panic attack anymore.

"Ahh... tinfoil?" Thin sheets of metal... All over his room? "Might disrupt scanners, internet, please don't." He really, really didn't want to let them down, but it would be a lot easier if he didn't have to worry about possibly losing his scanners for a day if he did. Kite didn't like the idea of not being able to detect anything outside his room. Or inside his room, if he moved outside. What if something happened to Elk?

"But... won't abandon. I'll try not to let you down." He nodded slightly. Even if he couldn't sing, he still wasn't going to just abandon them. That wouldn't be right.

"You'll see in good time." After all, it was going to take a couple days for his epic plan to be in full fruition.

Oh... so tinfoil wasn't a good idea. Pink hair dye in shampoo might be the way to go. Now he just had to find out if Kite took showers. Somehow he had to find a way to slip that into casual conversation.

Beast Boy opened his mouth to quite casually change the topic, but then Kite had spoken again. The words died on his lips, and the little shape shifter smiled.

"You won't let us down. I don't think you could let us down even if you tried. At least you wouldn't let me down, anyways. Even if you did abandon us--not saying that you will--I'd still be your friend."

For a moment, his face turned very serious. He stared Kite straight in the eyes, holding his gaze before whispering...

"Can you connect to the internet with your mind?"

"...Okaay." At least this plan sounded... interesting? Hopefully nothing would really be exploding, though. That might not be so good.

Beast Boy was pretty good at making the AI feel better, at least. Kite smiled--he was getting better at that, too. As long as they were still friends, it would be fine. Then again, it wasn't BB he was worried about. It was scary, violent Linda.

Hopefully she'd stay his friend, too. Or at least not try to kill him tonight.

He noticed the shapeshifter suddenly staring at him very seriously. Kite stared back, confused. He was about to ask when Beast Boy asked his very serious question. "Ah...? Of course, how else?" he replied, feeling a little foolish. How else was he supposed to access the network? He couldn't figure out those weird user-terminals, with all their lights and buttons... Too complicated.

One didn't have to stretch the imagination to know what Beast Boy's expression at that moment. It basically amounted to looking like this: 8D only more starry-eyed and jaw dropping.

He made a first attempt at properly expressing his feelings. "KFLDJASKLFE;WJAKRS;LAGFJLA;E"

He then cleared his throat and tried again. "THAT IS THE COOLEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD OF. YOU COULD DOWNLOAD A LITTLE DANCE!"

Apparently, to Beast Boy this was a pretty big thing. Kite wasn't nearly as impressed, but then again, he lived inside the network before. Not being able to connect to it would have been weird for him.

"Where would I download a dance?" he replied, chuckling quietly a little. "Wouldn't be required anyway..." An Ultimate AI could learn on its own, of course.

"I DUNNO. BUT YOU COULD." He was far to excited for his own good. Kite's mind was connected to the internet in addition to being a game character. That would make him the best online gamer in existence.

"YOU COULD DOWNLOAD EVERY EPISODE OF SPACE TREK EVER AND WIN SOLITAIRE AT THE SAME TIME AND DOWNL--"

Beast Boy's little tirade paused. Wait. He was supposed to be something right now...

"Oh yeah! My song!" He ran towards the stage thing, going to grab the mic. If he could do this once, he could do it again!
