“Welcome to Caritas!”

That’s what you’ll hear when you make your way down the stairs into the Karaoke Club. Dark and atmospheric, with glowing tables and a stage that faces the bar, if the sights don’t make it obvious this is a karaoke bar, the crooner up on the stage will.

He’s dressed to the nines in a cream suit, deep purple shirt shining under it as he belts away, welcoming you in. He apologizes for the intrusion, but it seems the ship wanted more than just his beautiful, sultry voice.

“My name’s Lorne, and I’ll be your host for tonight! So hit the bar and drink in your courage, Sailors. Because you might not be able to leave until you give us a show!” That's all he gives you before slipping into what he thinks is a pretty appropriate tune for the occasion.

If you didn’t come here by choice, hopefully Lorne’s words will give you a hint? The ship is hungry for bad belting. For some, the door will reappear after they chirp a few bars. For others, a few songs are required.

Some people have even gone up, struck with the strong feeling that they must do so, even if they’d been railing against singing at all just a minute ago. The ship just really wants everyone to sing and enjoy themselves, OK?

the trio of wonder

[resuming]

There are three vital things to keep in mind here, denizens of Voyagers.

1. This was all Caroline's idea.

2. The girls are slightly intoxicated following a generous amount of fruity drinks not even vampires are immune to.

3. This was all Caroline's idea.

Life can get far too serious, far too often. No one knows that better than Bonnie Bennett, Caroline Forbes, and Elena Gilbert. That's why they've decided to paint the boat red tonight and have themselves a girl's night. It's also why Caroline is ushering her two best friends up on stage to sing - and neither one of them is putting that much of a fight. It's all those appletinis, really. They're here, they're dressed fabulously, and you should all be paying attention.

Magic will be happening in 3, 2, 1...

Of course this was Caroline's idea. Who do you think you're talking to?

That being said, she's a little boozy, the three of them are already up on stage, and it is a karaoke club. If they walked out of there without singing, she's pretty sure that's a crime against nature. And then some.

And naturally, Caroline called dibs on Bette Midler.

"You don't own me," she begins with a smile. "I'm not just one of your many toys."
