“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?

She is totally willing and happy for that hug. As is the little nipper who coos and makes grabby hands for Lorne. Which is why Cordelia is more than happy and willing to hand him over for the time being.

"Angel will be happy to hear you're here."

Lorne nearly squees with joy as he takes Connor in his arms, pressing a warm kiss to his forehead.

"Oh, I'm sure of it. It'll be all scowls and near-smiles, hmm?" Once he's settled, hefting Connor a few times to get him comfy, he grins up at Cordelia. "The cruise sun's been doing you some favors, hmm? You're practically glowing!"

"You might even get a full smile if you're really lucky." At the compliment she grins broadly in return.

"It's amazing what some actual sunshine will do for you."

Angel keeps lecturing her on not tanning too much but she remembers sunscreen, okay?
