[The Cantina, Bar]
A polished wooden bar reflects the light of candles housed in wall sconces, the only illumination in the room.  The dark color of the bar is echoed in the wooden bar stools. The patrons of this establishment are quiet and solitary, content to nurse their drinks in the comfort of the relative darkness.  The only sounds are the quiet hum of air-conditioning from an air vent behind the bar and the chords of a classical guitar floating in from the dining room to the north.  You also see a karaoke list, a brass-framed plaque, a brass plaque, a karaoke machine, Philip Gaser and a silver-framed plaque.

Altdorf Gosslershausen and Bartenstein hold up all the fingers on their hands and say, "And we are ten time international fleeping champions of the world."
Keanu Witherspoon exclaims, "And Bartenstein!"
Bartenstein Gosslershausen says, "We are here to fleep for the man himself, while we perform our Phil Megamix! Perhaps we too can receive the ladies, fame, and streep steaks that Phil himself indulged in a mere two decades ago."
Altdorf Gosslershausen performs a stunning triple fleep, landing next to Phil Gaser and leaning on him, exclaiming, "Kick it off, brother, ja!"
Horribly off-key, Bartenstein Gosslershausen sings:

    "There's this girl that's been on my mind, ja
     All the time, Sussudio oh oh
     Now she don't even know my name
     But I think she likes me just the same
     Sussudio ja ja"

Bartenstein Gosslershausen begins to leap into a mind-blowing acrobatic stunt, but suddenly halts and says, "Ja, me and Phil have the same problem, no lady seem to ever remember my name either, but perhaps this is because of its sheer length."
Bartenstein Gosslershausen says, "But my name isn't the only thing that's long, babies."
Bartenstein Gosslershausen winks.
Horribly off-key, Bartenstein Gosslershausen sings:

    "Oh if she called me I'd be there
     I'd come running anywhere
     She's all I need, all my life
     I feel so good if I just say the word
     Sussudio, just say the word
     Oh Sussudio"

Bartenstein Gosslershausen fleeps back onto his hands and walks offstage on them, making room for his brother.
Altdorf Gosslershausen sashays to center stage and grips the microphone, giving it a swift fleep between his masculine hands.
Horribly off-key, Altdorf Gosslershausen sings:

    "Please give me one more night, give me one more night

     Ja one more night cause I can't wait forever "

Altdorf Gosslershausen sways to the romantic mellow beat, while tipping his top hat to reveal his thinning Phil-like hair.
Horribly off-key, Altdorf Gosslershausen sings:

    "I've been sitting here so long
     Wasting time, just staring at the phone
     And I was wondering should I call you
     Then I thought maybe you're not alone "

Altdorf Gosslershausen places his hand between his ear and face, like a telephone and winks to all the fine ladies, while mouthing "Call me, ja."  He sexily shuffles to the side of the stage.
Bartenstein Gosslershausen who is still on his hands, walks back to the front of the audience on them, before fleeping back to his feet with a smug smile.  He removes the microphone from its stand and twirls it around his fingers confidently.
Horribly off-key, Bartenstein Gosslershausen sings:

    "Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
     Cause you're not anywhere
     That I can find you, nein
     Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
     Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh"

Bartenstein Gosslershausen pulls out a hot pink handkerchief embroidered with tiny bratwursts from his suit pocket, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead before tossing it into the audience.  He takes a deep breath and then bellows into the microphone.
Horribly off-key, Bartenstein Gosslershausen sings:

    "Don't give up
     Keep running, keep hiding
     Don't give up
     Billy, if you know you're right
     Don't give up
     You know that I am on your side
     Don't give up
     Oh Billy, you better, you better, you better run for your life, JA!"

Bartenstein Gosslershausen fakes running manically in place before jogging offstage in slow motion, his neon orange suit glinting in the spotlight, returning the microphone to its place and cueing his brother for the next song.
Altdorf Gosslershausen shuffles onto the stage towards the microphone, hoisting his pant legs up to reveal his sockless loafer-clad feet, while doing a smooth dance.
Horribly off-key, Altdorf Gosslershausen sings:

    "Ja think twice, it's another day for
     You and me in paradise
     Ja think twice, it's just another day for you,
     You and me in paradise "

Altdorf Gosslershausen winks towards Gwyneth while arching his studly body into a back handspring.  The unicorn decal on his shirt stretches and tears apart as his muscles expand.  He follows through with the handspring, making a scuffing sound with his loafers as he lands and leans into the microphone.
Horribly off-key, Altdorf Gosslershausen sings:

    "She calls out to the man on the street
     He can see she's been crying
     She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
     Can't walk but she's trying "

Altdorf Gosslershausen fleeps across to the back of the stage and quickly turns around, drops to his knees and slides towards the microphone.  He dramatically dips the mic stand and sings the last lyric with pizazz.
Horribly off-key, Altdorf Gosslershausen sings:

    "Ja think twice... "

Bartenstein Gosslershausen and Altdorf clasp hands and fleep backwards three times and then to the front for three, finishing with a deep bow.
Keanu Witherspoon says, "Excellent, let's give Altdorf and Bartenstein a most excellent round of applause!"

Gwyneth Wahlberg exclaims, "What a great "Cracker" Jack singing about the Ritz!! Woo! Kim!"
 

Keanu Witherspoon says, "The crooner of Cricket Corner  Catriona Anjheliko"

You see Catriona Anjheliko.
She appears to be in her late teens.
She stands 4 feet tall and has a trim build.  She has pale skin, ankle-length straight deep purple hair, and emerald eyes.
Catriona seems to be in a nervous mood.

Catriona Anjheliko is wearing a plastic pink watch, a very wide black leather belt with a large silver buckle and small silver chains draped across the front, a shoulder harness, a dragon tattoo, a PBR communicator, some lip balm, a 'Long Live King Matthew!!' t-shirt, a pair of combat boots, a University of Morada class ring, a pair of black vinyl jeans, an ebony journey pack shot through with narrow strands of steelsilk, a pair of prescription eyeglasses with steel frames, and a mauve collector's case.

Catriona Anjheliko snickers.
Catriona Anjheliko steps up to the microphone, looking very nervous and locks her legs into place as the music starts.
Horribly off-key, Catriona Anjheliko sings:

    "I'm just a gigolo, and everywhere I go,
      People know the part I'm playing.
      Paid for every dance, selling each romance,
      Every night some heart betraying."

Horribly off-key, Catriona Anjheliko sings:

    "There will come a day when youth will pass away,
      Then what will they say about me?
      When the end comes I know they'll say just a gigolo as,
      Life goes on without me!"

Catriona Anjheliko grins broadly, winking at a few people in the crowd.
Horribly off-key, Catriona Anjheliko sings:

    "There will come a day when youth will pass away,
      Then what will they say about me?
      When the end comes I know they'll say just a gigolo as,
      Life goes on without me, 'cause... "

Catriona Anjheliko inhales deeply and giving a huge, flirting wink to Jay Ryerson in the process!
Horribly off-key, Catriona Anjheliko sings:

    "I ain't got nobody,
      Nobody, nobody cares for me!
      Nobody!! Nobody!!"

Jay Ryerson smirks.
Catriona Anjheliko flails her arms out in a odd imitation of a Fosse move, and throws her right leg out in a poor kick, mostly in time with the beat.
Horribly off-key, Catriona Anjheliko sings:

    "I'm so sad and lonely.
      Sad and lonely, sad and lonely...
      Won't some sweet mama come and take a chance with me,
      'Cause I ain't so bad!"

Jay squints at Catriona.
Horribly off-key, Catriona Anjheliko sings:

    "Get along with me babe, been singin' love songs,
      All of the time!
      Even only be, honey only, only be,
      Bop bozadee bozadee bop ditty bop!"

Catriona Anjheliko makes a couple kissy-faces at Laera Saevus!
Horribly off-key, Catriona Anjheliko sings:

    "I ain't got nobody 'cept love songs in love! "

Catriona Anjheliko licks her lips seductively and then makes a rather attractive pouty face which dissolves as soon as she goes into her next line.
Horribly off-key, Catriona Anjheliko sings:

    "Hummala bebhuhla zeebuhla boobuhla hummala bebhuhla zeebuhla bop!!"

Jay Ryerson blinks.
Leyra Saevus blinks.
Horribly off-key, Catriona Anjheliko sings:

    "I ain't got nobody,
      Nobody, nobody cares for me!
      Nobody!! Nobody!!"

Catriona Anjheliko stretches out her left hand near her face and waves it back and forth, doing a weird sort of hula movement with her hips while her feet stay perfectly stationary.
Horribly off-key, Catriona Anjheliko sings:

    "I'm so sad and lonely,
      Sad and lonely, sad and lonely...
      Won't some sweet mama come and take a chance with me,
      'Cause I ain't so bad!!"

Catriona Anjheliko turns around and shakes her bottom, attempting, perhaps to show you that she really isn't all that bad.
Horribly off-key, Catriona Anjheliko sings:

    "Get along with me babe, been singin' love songs,
      All of the time,
      Even only be, honey only, only be... "

Leyra Saevus snickers.
Horribly off-key, Catriona Anjheliko sings:

    "I ain't got nobody, I know...
      'cuz Nobody cares for me. "

Keanu Witherspoon exclaims, "Catriona Anjheliko!"
Gwyneth Wahlberg exclaims, "Hummala bebhuhla zeebuhla boobuhla hummala bebhuhla zeebuhla bop sounds like a new great perp name to me!"
Catriona Anjheliko walks away from the microphone looking rather red.
 

Keanu Witherspoon exclaims, "That singing officer of law Auguste Delatour!"
You giggle.
You say, "Not exactly."

You see Cross-stitcher Auguste Delatour.
She appears to be in her early twenties.
She stands 5 feet and 9 inches tall and has an average build.  She has creamy skin, long red hair pulled into a French twist, and green eyes.

She is holding a small leather suitcase in her right hand.
Auguste Delatour is wearing a gold charm bracelet, a long strand of pearls, a peacock pin communicator enameled in jewel tones, some cranberry lipstick, a slender golden hairpin, an antique silver pocket watch, a black and yellow ribbon affixed with an American flag pin, an ivory shoulder bag with a colorful floral cross stitch design, a tailored silk blouse, a grey skirt, a grey blazer, and a pair of grey pumps.

You smile.
You say, "When I first read about the theme of today's contest in the newspaper, I was a bit puzzled about what to sing but soon thought of a solution. Being unconventional as usual, I have chosen a song from "Chess," a 1980s musical about love and political intrigue at a Cold War era chess tournament. I'm afraid my costume is rather boring but I doubt that a chess champion's assistant would be a fashion plate. Anyway, the song is called "Nobody's Side."   "
Auguste Delatour places a suitcase and a pile of clothes on top of a table before putting a CD into the karaoke machine and pushing a button. Getting into character, she glances around the room with a dazed look on her face. As the music starts, you note that it doesn't sound like a conventional showtune.
You sing:

    "What's going on around me
      Is barely making sense
      I need some explanations fast"

You frown.
You sing:

    "I see my present partner
      In the imperfect tense
      And I don't see how we can last"

Auguste Delatour emphasizes the next two lines, singing them a bit more loudly.
You sing:

    "I feel I need a change of cast
      Maybe I'm on nobody's side"

You sing:

    "And when he gives me reasons
      To justify each move
      They're getting harder to believe"

You shake your head.
You sing:

    "I know this can't continue
      I've still a lot to prove"

You sing:

    "There must be more I could achieve
      But I didn't have the nerve to leave"

Auguste Delatour takes on a determined expression as she approaches the table with the suitcase and clothes: blouses, skirts, and dresses, all in the styles of the eighties.
You sing:

    "Everybody's playing the game
      But nobody's rules are the same
      Nobody's on nobody's side"

You sing:

    "Better learn to go it alone
      Recognize you're out on your own
      Nobody's on nobody's side"

Auguste Delatour roughly runs her fingers through her hair and shakes her head slightly.
You sing:

    "The one I should not think of
      Keeps rolling through my mind
      And I don't want to let that go"

You sing:

    "No lover's ever faithful
      No contract truly signed"

You sing:

    "There's nothing certain left to know"

Auguste Delatour clenches one of the blouses on the table as she bitterly concludes the thought.
You sing:

    "And how the cracks begin to show!"

Auguste Delatour flings opens the suitcase and starts to pack as her determined expression returns.
You sing:

    "Never make a promise or plan
      Take a little love where you can
      Nobody's on nobody's side"

You sing:

    "Never stay too long in your bed
      Never loose your heart, use your head
      Nobody's on nobody's side"

Auguste Delatour holds the last note of the line as an electric guitar wails away in the background. After taking a breath, she continues somewhat cynically.
You sing:

    "Never take a stranger's advice
      Never let a friend fool you twice
      Nobody's on nobody's side"

You sing:

    "Never be the first to believe
      Never be the last to deceive
      Nobody's on nobody's side"

Auguste Delatour picks up a watch that had been hidden among the clothes and glances at it before tossing it into the suitcase.
You sing:

    "And never leave a moment too soon
      Never waste a hot afternoon
      Nobody's on nobody's side"

You sing:

    "Never stay a minute too long
      Don't forget the best will go wrong
      Nobody's on nobody's side"

Auguste Delatour puts the last of the clothes into the suitcase and snaps it shut.
You sing:

    "Better learn to go it alone
      Recognize you're out on your own
      Nobody's on nobody's side"

Auguste Delatour picks up the suitcase and walks away as the song finishes.
Keanu Witherspoon exclaims, "Woo! Auguste Delatour!"
You curtsy.
Auguste Delatour retrieves the CD from the karaoke machine and returns to her seat.
Gwyneth Wahlberg exclaims, "Did you hear that electric guitar?? Rock on, Auguste!"
 

Keanu Witherspoon exclaims, "The smooth sounds of Kri Caselli!"
Kri Caselli giggles.

You see Tap Dancer Kri Caselli.
She appears to be in her mid-thirties.
She stands 5 feet and 1 inches tall and has an average build.  She has creamy skin, shoulder-length strawberry blonde hair twisted into a bun, and brown eyes.
Kri seems to be in a mischievous mood.

Kri Caselli is wearing a dainty gold ring set with a deep blue sapphire, a leather satchel, a shimmering backpack embroidered with a motif of iridescent faeries and colorful spiraling stained-glass butterflies which leave sparkling trails of diamond-like dust in their wake, a rose candy necklace, a jeweled arm bracelet of vining red roses, a dusky blue beaded tote, a thin silver belly chain with dangling bell charms, a card collector's case, some zigzag metal hairsticks topped with sparkling red crystal flowers, some diamond earrings, a PBR communicator, a smooth malachite toe-ring, a pair of red wax lips, some red lipstick, an antique silver bracelet etched with flowers and twisting vines, an expensive watch, a pair of strappy metallic pink slides, a bright bikini patterned with lush tropical flowers, a mosaic fish printed blue t-shirt, and a jeweled ear cuff of vining red roses.

Kri Caselli breathes deeply flashing you a smile.
Kri Caselli walks out onto the darkened stage and you hear faint music begin to play and shimmering light playing off of a disco ball glitters around the room. Kri looks out into the distance and begins to sing for you.
