[He's still not too comfortable with English, so the translator is still translating what he's saying. However, instead of translating audibly it translates with text, putting it at the bottom of the viewer's screen like subtitles on a foreign movie.]

I have an announcement. I guess.

[Whatever it is, he has no excitement about it. Even if it was something he would like he probably wouldn't be anymore excited than he is now. This i likes a 1 on the excitement scale.]

For some reason the band hasn't kicked me out yet. [Government bonuses for having an imPort in the band perhaps?] And they "booked a gig." I was supposed to hang up fliers but. [He holds up a stack of papers with a shrug. But he just didn't.] Sooo...figured I'd say something on here at least.

It's . . . [He holds up a flier to read off the info; he doesn't even know this off the top of his head.] It's at a place called Tipsy Bird in Maurtia Falls. Starts at 7PM. All ages but it has a bar. [Puts down the flier.] That's important to know, I suppose. So come. If you want.

[He moves to turn off the feed and post but stops as he remembers something else to say.] Oh, and I'm the singer.

[THEN he posts. Anyone paying attention to this video will note that he is not very charismatic at all and has a dull, not-melodic voice. Plus the fact he doesn't appear to know English. And he's saying he's the singer. Have fun with that.]

((OOC: Open log for the gig here!))

Oh my God, it's Moby! Great music, man, although I kinda prefer your earlier stuff.

[It's a bald joke, okay?!]

[heroforhobby]

[If it wasn't clear enough he had no finger on the pulse of any sort of music scene, it's made even more clear by him not knowing this reference at all.

He does know one Moby-based reference, though.]

I don't think the whale ever put out music.

Also, I'm not a whale.

[Wow. Wow, this is something else. Joker can't tell if this guy is, like, purposefully trying to act disaffected for some 3edgy5you reasons, or if he just has the personality of sponge cake, but he's intrigued either way.]

I'm probably gonna regret this on a deep and fundamental level, but I actually think I'm gonna show up for this. So exactly what kind of music do you guys play?

[heroforhobby]

That'd be nice if you come so that way I can say I did advertise.

[Once you hear the sort of music they play you will most definitely regret going:]

Crooner music. Like Frank Sinatra or Bing Crosby.

[He says it in that way that he's trying to seem knowledgeable but you know he just barely learned this info. Which was true: just a few weeks ago after he wiki'd it. Out of all music genres, this one probably requires some of the most charisma...]

[boneitis]

[Oh, sweet baby Jesus, this is either going to be the most amazing thing in the world or absolutely terrible, and Joker can't miss it. He can't.]

No shit? [This is going to be a train wreck.] Were you a singer before you got here, or did you just kinda get stuck with the job?

[Call him morbidly curious.]

[heroforhobby]

Do I sound like I was a singer?

[Sighs, pinching his nose, finally showing some emotion]

No. I was a hero.

[boneitis]

Y'know those things aren't mutually exclusive, right?

[You could sing and be a hero, because people can be talented in more than one area. Kind of like how Joker can be both an ace pilot and a smartass. Talent!]

And, hey, what do I know, you could be a regular Nat King Cole or some shit. But yeah, not gonna lie, you sound like you've got the personality of a goldfish, so... Good luck, I guess?

[ Wow, she literally understood none of that - his language, obviously, or his band speak. She's surprised she could even read the subtitles in time. ]

Um... you can sing? W-What types of songs do you sing?

[thepalinpaladin]

You're the singer?

[heroforhobby]

Really? I'm not sure you can be a proper hero if your focus is elsewhere, too.

[He doesn't sound really judgemental, just that's how it is to him.]

Great, thanks. [ :| ]

[heroforhobby]

[If she didn't understand his "band speak" then she is sadly more out of touch with the music scene than he is.]

"Sing" is subjective. They're a crooner band.

[heroforhobby]

The people that brought us here seem to think so.

[thepalinpaladin]

What songs are you going to uh. "Sing."

[heroforhobby]

Uh, do you know "crooner" music? Like Frank Sinatra?

[thepalinpaladin]

WOW. Really?

[heroforhobby]

You seriously know that??

[Because Saitama didn't and he isn't riding robot lions in space!!]

[thepalinpaladin]

I know who Frank Sinatra is.

[heroforhobby]

Yeah, well . . . he probably just wasn't popular in my world . . .

[thepalinpaladin]

What singers do you know?

[heroforhobby]

Uhm....

[Listening to music isn't a hobby of his back home. Plus, he's recently discovered there's quite a number of differences between this Earth and his, and music was probably one of them. Still, he lies:]

Ruka-chama and the Eggplants.

[thepalinpaladin]

. . .who.

[heroforhobby]

I answered your question!

[gemmeus]

[ Oh, she probably is. At least you've got that going for you, Saitama - more music savvy than a little girl. ]

Croon-her? Who is being crooned? [ also what's crooning ]

lol i just now looked at her app and saw how old she is...

[heroforhobby]

[He would say "women" bluntly, but he does have some respect for the youth.]

Just people. People who wanna see a band.

[He cocks his head at her.]

How old're you, kid?

[VIDEO]

[calibrating]

If you really wanna get people to go, you should try singing a little something.

Kind of like a free sample to hook 'em in so they'll come see you and the rest of your band.
