Thanks for your patience, everybody. Blank Label is experiencing a little “technical difficulty” as they used to say back in the day. Things should be back to normal very soon.
As the team hits the karaoke bar to blow off some steam, tensions rise and hidden rivalries come to light. Desdemona stirs things up by inviting management to the mix, and Count Spurlock is not ready to let go of his Bohemian Rhapsody solo. Meanwhile, Cassie and Miss Match have a heart-to-heart that’s as intense as any power ballad.
Panel 1 (Narration box):
That night, at the karaoke bar…
Miss Match (toasting Cassie with her bottle of beer:
OK… You weren’t just singing…
That was some full-on Patti-Lupone-level belting!
Panel 2 (Miss Match and Cassie standing with drinks):
Cassie: Songs are like men. It’s all about tension, tempo and timing.
Panel 3 (Miss Match putting a hand on Cassie's shoulder):
Miss Match: And trust. Cap told me how you were there for him when he needed you.
Panel 4 (Miss Match, serious):
I don’t want things to be weird between us.
Cassie: Treat him right, and we’ve got no problems.
(Cassie continues):
Treat him wrong, and, well… Ballads aren’t the only thing I’m good at belting.
(Catnip and Desi are singing passionately on stage with a mic, as the background screen shows karaoke lyrics to “I Kissed a Girl”. Others watch from tables.)
