MN8 4 pm…

There are no sing-a-grams to deliver at the moment, so Tyron will spend the rest of the day auditioning at various venues in Starlight Shores, starting with MN8 its owner, Clarize Eastin.

Clarize: Nice to meet you, Tyron. I’ve heard great things about you.
Tyron: Uh, thank you, Miss Worthington.
Clarize: Please, just call me Clarize.
Tyron: Oh, okay.
(Tyron seems a little distracted. What is he looking at? Tyron, focus. It’s your career on the line here).

Clarize got overly excited when Ty agreed to give her an autograph.

And when he wrote “to my dear, beautiful Clarize,” she completely lost it. There’s no doubt Tyron knows how to sell his brand.

Clarize: I’ll frame it and hang it on my office wall. The other owners will be green with envy when they see it.
Tyron: Thanks, but I think it would be better if they heard me at your venue, rather than just seeing my signature.

Clarize: Oh, I see, you want to sing here at MSN8.
Tyron: That’s the idea, yeah.
Clarize: Well, you know there’s a protocol for that.
Tyron: You mean I have to audition, right?

Clarize: Well, there are other, um, quicker ways to get a gig, but yes, auditioning is standard protocol.
Tyron: Um, then I guess I’ll stick to the standards and audition, if you don’t mind. If you have time, of course.
Clarize: For you? Always, hon.

Clarize agreed to listen to Tyron sing. He’s confident in his talent and skill as a singer, but just to be on the safe side, he decided to give her his latest CD.
Tyron: But first, here, this is for you.
Clarize: Oh. And what do we have here?
Tyron: It’s my latest CD, Brokenhearted.

Clarize: Brokenhearted, huh? Sounds very interesting.
Tyron: Wait until you hear it, you’ll love it.
Clarize: That’s for sure.

Clarize: Okay, this one’s going to my office too, on my playlist for sure. But now let’s get down to business. How about we start with something simple, like a You are Special sing-a-gram.

Honestly, Tyron wished she had asked him for a romantic sing-a-gram, cause those are his specialty, and Clarize sure would have melted, but a customer’s request is never denied, so You are Special it is.

His rendition is much better than she could have hoped for.

Clarize doesn’t even hesitate: Tyron Cho will be one of the talented artists singing at her karaoke bar this week.

After a long business discussion with the proprietor of MN8, Tyron departs at dusk. He’s so cheerful and distracted that he doesn’t realize he just broke another heart, that of Alora Platt. Speaking of brokenhearted!

Things seem to be going well, but this is just the beginning; there are still several more venues to audition at!

NOTE: I mistakenly named the venue Mick’s Master Karaoke when it was actually MN8. The error has since been corrected, as has the name of the owner, who is not Laurel Worthington but Clarize Eastin. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
