They say you never forget how to ride a bicycle, yeah?

[Rose pans her mirror down from her waaaaay tall bicycle.]

I really hope that's true, because I don't much like my chances of getting back on it if I fall. Wish me luck!

[She sets out, and so far, so good.] Okay, so anyone else get jobs yet and all that? Give me sound my first night out, since I didn't wanna risk my cybud up here.

[Exclusively for her "roommates," there's a pair of cupcakes, one for 12 and Michael respectively. 12's is banana with edible ball-bearings, and Michael's is devil's chocolate with a paperclip. Both have messages.]

[paperclips are his bananas, Rose. if it were possible he'd invent a paperclip daiquiri]

Because it's the first thing a human ever gave me. I was thinking about something too much - or, well, more like I was pretending to, to stress her out - and instead of getting freaked out, she ... said I needed to not think so much. That I needed to have fun. And she made me this. And then she showed me karaoke.

It really wasn't what I expected. At all. Any of it.

[bigbadrose]

That's humans for you!

Satan would have gotten out of his prison if he just wasn't trying so hard to terrorize us, and cooperated instead!

So do you like karaoke?

[takeitsleazy]

He's got some grudges. And Daddy issues.

[he shrugs]

Karaoke? Yeah, it's great. I told the Doctor, I know all the words to something called "Blaze of Glory". He said he plays the guitar. We were going to find a bar but we ended up making pancakes instead.

[bigbadrose]

Sounds right. Well, if you don't mind a third party, I'll come with you, we can make a day of it.

[takeitsleazy]

I think that sounds like a lot of fun. Wherever we find the karaoke, I hope they have a crane machine, too. I got pretty good at those. I could win you a pointless, vaguely misshapen stuffed toy!

[bigbadrose]

Yeah? You know, no one's ever done that for me before.

[Soft laugh.]

[takeitsleazy]

Really?!

[he finds that surprising]

Not Mickey or ... or the other one, even? The human ones? Well, then, I'll have to do it.

[bigbadrose]

Yeah! Not that I ever asked them to, and I was always broke so there was more important things to spend money on, but mmn! I'd like that. A lot.

good to end here on this one?

[takeitsleazy]

It's a deal. You find me one, I'll win you something.

[he smiles, feeling a bit less weird about this whole thing. just a bit]

Good luck with the giant bike, Rose.

Yup yup!!

[bigbadrose]

Thanks, Michael!
