I'm plenty old you know? If you go around disrespecting your elders, you'll end up with more than just a bruised ego.
( for as coolheaded as nana had remained about this entire affair, reflecting taunts and teasing as they rolled in, she couldn't let this one slip past her. all the things she had gone through in such a short life at the very least earned her the title of 'cool aunt'-
although it didn't escape her that she might be now called an old grandma or whatever else mai could say with that quick tongue of hers. just as quick though, nana made sure to tell mai to order a few sapporos to really get her vocal cords loose and full of unbridled anxiety that may have suddenly crept up on her. there was a vast difference in performing towards a faceless crowd than there was performing to a single individual. for some reason or another, she actually began to care about mai's opinion- not so much on her singing ability, but proving she was actually on route to being someone big [that's if she hadn't already read all the filthy tabloids and all their miserable rumors]. )
Of course, I need to warm up and it would be weird for you to sit there gawking at me while I sing alone.
( thankfully for them both her english when it came to singing wasn't too terrible, in fact she was able to pronounce things quite decently with an accent. when it came to actually speaking it in a conversation, where her voice could not stretch and force an elongation of each syllable and verb, well it certainly proved she wasn't as proficient as she seemed to be. )
Let's see...I don't want to sing anything too sappy....and we need to liven up the mood.
( she pulled forth the book and began to flip the sheet protectors in the folder, the crinkle of plastic filling the air. it was finally when she got towards the 'popular hits of 2001' that she placed her index finger [ordained by a vivienne westwood knuckleduster ring] on a particular song by a ska-punk band. )
How about you follow my lead on this one? Has a good amount of repetitive hooks we can sing together.
( whether mai agreed to it or not, she was already punching in the code for 'hey baby'. )
