If you know Li-Na through school or work or the dance studio or the February mission or even just chatting on the app... you'd have gotten a bubbly text from Li-Na, inviting you to celebrate her birthday with her. The location? A private room at a karaoke bar. Anyone who shows up and tries to back out is quickly pulled along for the ride.
[though the room is a liiiittle bigger than this one]
The room is rather low key, though a button on a certain remote will lower a small disco ball from the ceiling if so desired. It can comfortably fit about 20 people. The karaoke equipment is at the front of the room next to the door and the rest of the room is taken up by a table and seating.
But singing isn't the only thing going on here. The karaoke club also has an extensive menu and a phone in the room that allows you to place your orders without leaving your playlist. Milkshakes, ice cream sundaes, bubble tea, crepes, sushi, curry rice, omurice, pizza, wings, all manner of Japanese and American finger food. You can even get salad if you want, but why would you? It's not maybe the best food ever, but you won't leave with an empty stomach. Unfortunately, since a number of Li-Na friends are under 21, no booze.
Don't like something on the playlist? Feel free to hook up your phone to the system and play one of your own songs. The point is to sing, eat, wish Li-Na a happy 18th birthday, and maybe make some new friends. Oh, and yes, there will be cake.

[Gar doesn't seem to realize that this might be a personal sort of question. He doesn't... really have any dreams that are anywhere close to being reasonable.]
no subject
I want to dance professionally. Either somewhere here in America or in Europe. If I were to be a little bold, I would say I want to join the Royal Ballet or the Paris Opera Ballet.
[which is PRETTY DAMN BOLD because these ballet companies do not take just anyone]
no subject
[...Gar doesn't know a single thing about dancing, but it certainly seems like it's an ambitious goal.]
...You can do it!!
...I don't know anything about dancing and I've never seen you dance but I totally support ya anyway!
no subject
[she then flips the question to Gar]
What about you? What do you dream about?
no subject
[He blinks for a second.]
...I'unno. The next cool game that comes up. ...Summer vacation. I don't really think about the future.
no subject
Ahhh, you are a very 'live in the moment' person. That is good. Some people spend too much time thinking about the past or so worried about the future. They end up not enjoying what they have now.
[besides, Gar still has a couple years of high school. he doesn't have to start worrying about the whole post-high school thing just yet.]
no subject
[He flashes a couple of finger guns with a slightly forced grin.]
I don't wanna do anything! I can't find anything I wanna do, anyway.
no subject
That is okay.
[she reaches over and pats his arm]
Enjoy your youth, Gar. You won't be this age a second time.
[she sounded like someone's grandma there, didn't she]
You will find something you want to do, just be patient and try lots of things.

[He gives a shrug.]
I dunno, I just don't really... like anything. 'Sides like, things you can't actually do for real.
no subject
Things you cannot do for real? Like what?
[about the only thing that comes to mind is 'monster hunter']
no subject
[hopefully li-na isn't too surprised]
Ooooor professional mattress tester! Either works.
no subject
[She taps her chin]
But, I know the first exists and there are whole tournaments. There was one in Hong Kong a couple years ago. Not that I went, but I had classmates who went to watch.
no subject
[He grins.]
Yeah... it would be super fun to make a living off that kind of thing! I think I'm pretty good, but like. ...Maybe not that good.

[He wasn't sure if esports even allowed spectators to be around, but oh well.]
...Hey, I'm gonna go and look at what food they have. You can go ahead and sing something else if ya want.
