Karaoke Time!

Bishop has pulled out his coveted karaoke machine to make sure that the vibe onboard the Mnemosyne stays high. He has curated a list of Appropriate Songs (sorry, folx, but Don't Stop Believing is still banned), but if it's not on his list, chances are he can scroung it up.

And if he can't? Well, that's what acapella is for!

Games

For those who are a little too shy to sing in front of everyone, don't worry, there's something here for you, too! A stack of puzzles & boardgames has been set out for everyone's entertainment, including:

• Ticket to Ride
• Monopoly
• Jenga
• Battleship
• CLUE
• Candyland
• Risk
• Scrabble
• UNO

The Secret Club

For those of you in Bishop's very good graces, he has set up a small area in the library for video games. The collection is very minimal, but systems include: N64, PS, PS2, Gamecube, and the Wii.

To facilitate group play, he has only pulled out racing and fighting games. Oh, and Mario Party. Can't forget that.

Dom claps his hands on Jax's hips with a melodramatic sigh. "The lot of you grow hornier every year. I don't have one. Tell me about yours."

"It's just you, Dom. You're all I have eyes for."

"And if I wasn't available to kiss, into whose arms would you want to fall?"

A thoughtful frown. "I guess... Jamie? That's kinda it." Jax opens his mouth after a moment, closes it. Nope. "Yeah, that's it."

"And the network celebrated him for being an excellent kisser yesterday," Dom points out. Look, he's being encouraging!

"I'm already kissing two different people, and that's fine. Plus," the can is held up to drink, "I'm a whole decade older than him."

A little eyebrow quirk at that. "You're both adults. He's not twenty-one and he'd be lucky to be your number three."

Jax makes a little noise of doubt in his throat as he drinks. "Yeah, real lucky. Three's insane for me, if I'm honest."

"The point you need to worry is when you consider a new planner designated only for liaisons." He reaches up for the can while Jax is mid-drink and doesn't apologize for it. "Or when you confuse their names."

"Oh, that been happening to you? 'cause I can't relate."

"I've managed to avoid it for the past twenty years."

"That'd be embarrassing for everyone if you couldn't. Do you know anyone who even has a dangerous liaisons planner?"

"The question is, who do you know who most likely would?" The can gets a little shake — barely a slosh. "You drank my beer."

"I kinda remember you giving it to me first," Jax corrects him with an unapologetic grin. "I dunno who'd have a planner, though. One of the younger kids, maybe? Someone full of life and zeal."
