The distinction between Karaoke and other live music performances is a little lost on Shrieky. He knows that no one who comes to Karaoke plays their own instruments, and that the people singing often seem a little confused by what it is exactly that they're supposed to be doing.

Still, he likes the music, and he feels as though getting used to being in crowded places and the strange sights and sounds of Baedel, is quite an important thing for him to eventually manage to do. So he's found himself a spot at the bar in a Karaoke place which is still comparatively quiet, and is nursing a bright green drink which tastes like apples.

Drinks that taste like apples are the best kind.
