Ryouta shows up beaming a few moments later and hands Sora a glass of water. He has water too. He knows he can't drink too much tonight. Mostly because he wants to impress Sora.

"Here you go!" he chirped and sat back down. "Did you pick out a song?"

[consocius]

"Yep!" He waves his ticket in his hand with a grin, takes a long swig of the water from his glass, then hurries to go turn his song choice in, yelling behind him. "Thanks for the water!"

"No problem!" Ryouta called after him and began to flip through the book again. He saw a few duets that looked fun, and chose a few more songs that he felt suited his voice while he waited for Sora.

The DJ said it would be maybe five minutes before she called them up. So he used this time to mentally prepar himself. This was a performance after all, even if not an official one. He needed to be at his best for the crowd.

... And maybe he wanted to show off for Sora.

[consocius]

Once Sora returns, he nudges Ryouta's arm gently with his own, looking excited. "You ready?"

[yellowcopycat]

"Yup!"

Soon their names were called and Ryouta all but bounced on his way to the stage. He grinned at Sora, then at the audience and waited for the music to start. Sora was doing Aladdin's part so he'd sing first.

[consocius]

Sora heads up to the stage just as excited, even giving his karaoke mic a little twirl by the cord before the music actually starts. He returns Ryouta's grin.

He settles in a little before he begins, taking in a breath. Finally:

"I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did,"
this last part sung in his friend's direction rather than the audience, then he decides that it works better like that and mostly looks to Ryouta as he sings, occasionally gesturing or facing the audience when it fits.
"You last let your heart decide?

"I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

"A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us "No"
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming"

[yellowcopycat]

Now it's Ryouta's turn. He wonders if the audience is surprised that he's singing the Princess's part.

He does feel his heart flutter a bit when Sora sings at him, and he's going to ignore that. At least for now.

"A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you"

He pauses as Sora sings the little aside before continuing with his verse.

"Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feelings
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world"

He looks towards Sora for most of the song as well, but turns to the audience near the end, as if experiencing a whole new world with Sora.

[consocius]

Grinning broadly, Sora raises his hand to give Ryouta a high-five when they're finished, both as a congrats on a job well done and to pass the next song onto him. "Alright, your turn!"

Then he'll take his place in the audience.

With a grin waited for his song to start. Once the guitar started he raised the mike to his face and begins to sing

Once done he gives the mike to the next singer and heads over to Sora. "You're after this dude," he told Sora and sat. "What did you think?"

[consocius]

Sora tries to keep his voice down during the other guy's performance, but he still gives Ryouta a friendly nudge and a smile. He leans over to actually talk to him. "You were great! You should do like, singles of your own sometimes or something."

[yellowcopycat]

"I'm actually working on that," Ryouta said grinning. "As a side thing."

He returns the nudge. "I mean, it's not like I'll be with Surviving Friday forever. I've got ambitions."

[consocius]

Instantly Sora is beaming at hearing that. "Really? Maybe one day we'll both be big enough where we can like, do something together officially without our labels getting in the way."

Then he's considering all of what Ryouta has said, and realizing for the first time that he'll probably only be able to stay with Flashstep for a few years. He doesn't usually think too much into the future, but that definitely makes him feel sort of sad, and his expression falls.

[yellowcopycat]

"That would be fun!" Ryouta beamed. He seemed to be collecting a few people who think it would be cool to do collaborations with him.

He notices when Sora's face falls and nudges him with his elbow. "What's wrong, Soracchi?"

[consocius]

He quickly shakes his head, simultaneously shaking off the sad thoughts and brightening back up. "Mm, nothing to worry about. Don't you think you'd miss your band mates though if you went solo?"
