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.

A grudging smile. "Turn it down, sunshine. We're in public."

"Afraid someone's going to see you enjoying something nice?"

"I have a reputation here, St James."

Jax raises his brows and jerks his thumb in the direction he came from. "You want me to leave? I mean, I'll go."

"Smart ass." He very pointedly pulls Jax into his lap. "I didn't say to leave."

"Damn, Adri, buy a man dinner first." But Jax is laughing and slinking an arm around his shoulders, much like he did with Dom. "I didn't figure you'd show up."

"I have to at least look social." His arm is wrapped lightly around Jax's waist. "It's a trade off: every person I make cry is one minute of social enrichment I have to suffer."

"Appreciate you suffering with us. It must be such a hardship to be around your peers."

"I appreciate your appreciation. Personally, don't know how you talk to most of these people without rolling your eyes."

There's a wistful smile. "Culture thing. We like to talk a lot and in depth in the South. You'd hate it."

"I absolutely would. What happened to the days when people practiced stoicism?"

"They still do, but maybe not in the places you're lookin'." Jax links both arms in place now. "If you wanted stoicism, I was the wrong person to seduce."

"Did I seduce you?"

"The only other alternative's that you let yourself be seduced by a pretty face and nice legs, but don't let me put words in your mouth."

"I am a slut for nice legs."

Jax pinches the back of Adri's shoulder. "You know how I feel about that word, but I'm hearing the compliment."

Adri laughs. "Good, because I'm not giving you another one for six business days."

"I'll just have to live. If I need someone to tell me I'm pretty, I'll beg Flip."

"He's good for an ego stroke." Hands slip under Jax's shirt.

"He is good at stroking, isn't he?"

"Among other things, but he's not here and I am. Guess you'll have to settle."

"Adri, we're in public," Jax admonishes in a half-whisper. Like he's not straddling his lap. "I'll settle for you later if you'll have me."

"I suppose I can wait." He places a kiss to Jax's jaw then pushes him off. "Find me when you're ready to go."

"Yessir." There's a cheeky two finger salute, and then Adri gets to watch him walk away, you're welcome.
