The Paperback Theater

Michael smiled again. Maybe this wouldn't be that bad

"We're doing 'Voices in my head', right?"

"Oh-hh it's ok-kay Asur-ra. I know I'm not, not that good" Charlie admitted

"Okay, that means Mike is up first, since you're filling in for Jeremy's dad." He then turned to Charlie. "I didn't mean you, mostly because I haven't seen you act, so don't even worry about it."

"Um, yeah, lemme find my line."

"You gotta buy her a rose, compliment her on her clothes," he started, half mumbling and half singing

Charlie shuffled her feet and stared at the ground. She didn't want to openly disagree with Asura of all people, but she knew she wasn't that good. Just listen to her talk normally and one could guess her acting skills were a 0 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Asura sang his line loudly, but a bit off key, trying to get people to laugh and maybe have some people loosen up. "Say you appreciate that she's smart."

Michael stifled a snort at the off-key singing. He started to tap his foot, starting to get into the music

Charlie shrugged and giggled softly at his attempt. She shuffled towards the back of the group, she wouldn't come in until the end.

Asura looked over at people, beginning the combined singing line. "And that's the way you get to her heart, trust me I know how it's gonna go, listen and oh…"

With a grin, Michael started to sing a little louder. "And that's the way you get to her heart. Trust me, I know how it's gonna go. Listen and oh!"

Asura smiled, glad that people were starting to loosen up.

(who's JEremy?)

Charlie mumbled along in the background to keep track of where the song was. She kept herself quite though, since it wasn't her part.

(I think I'm filling in for Jeremy) "And all their are voices in my ear, I guess these never disappear. I'll let 'em squeal and I will deal and make up my own mind. Might still have voices in my head, but now, they're just the normal kind.Voices in my head, but now they're the normal kind!"

(who's Jenna?)

(That's a good question)

(yeah…. who's gonna fill in then?)

(Maybe Jensen?)

(hehehe Asura could do it but he wouldn't be very good at it)

(You could make him grumpy about it lol)

(Ellie could)

"Shit, I don't think we have a Jenna," Asura said. He tried to raise his very deep voice, and his voice cracked majorly when he did. "Just summon strength from within!"

Michael couldn't help but double over cackling. "Oh my god dude, your voice cracked so bad!" He kept laughing, putting his hands on his knees

Ellie laughed but caught her breath to say her line. "Don't get hung up on your skin."
