Singing and logs and things

Who: Max and anyone who wants to come + other starters
What: Max is gonna sing and you're gonna feel better darn it
When: This week, but the singing is at 4 p.m. on ... Sunday?
Warnings: n/a
Where: In this part of the Eglaf Government Housing:



Max doesn't expect a lot of people to show up, both because there aren't that many supers based on what he can tell, and he's not sure how many of them would be down for a gathering like this. From what he's learned — and experienced — in a very short amount of time, he's a little out of his league here. But he doesn't let that deter him from trying to do something helpful. Plus, a small part of him is really curious to see if this alleged power he has is actually real.

There's no setup of any kind. No microphones, no amps, no speakers. He's just gonna be singing to like, 3 people tops right?

But Max does spend a lot of time trying to figure out which song to sing, and in the end, he chooses something that's just meant to make people feel happier — regardless of why — which seems fitting, given that he's not exactly sure how to process all his newfound experiences of dying, over and over again.

Once it's about 4:15, Max gets started, assuming that at least one person shows up.

The song he picked, is Can't Stop the Feeling. Max has a pretty great voice, and he isn't bad as a dancer, either, and as the song starts to ramp up, he'll try to encourage others to dance with him — all the way until everyone is pretty much dancing and partying until the end.

[ ooc: I'm going to make a top-level for Max. If you want to make top-levels/starters for your characters interacting with each other and not Max, that's fine by me. Also, here's a sample of Max's PB, Skylar Astin just kind of singing. I think the silliness of this is close to what Max is doing here.

In terms of his powers, when Max sings, everyone who can hear him starts to absorb his feelings — which in this case is just: forget your troubles and enjoy dancing — and the effects can last as long as you want to after the song is over, especially since even without powers, sometimes positivity carries forward throughout your day. You can also make it stop immediately. Anything you'd like. It could also somehow just not work on you. ]
