Then the answer is not to take damage. Then healing is irrelevant.
That tends to be my strategy as well. As GM, I can tell you that it's not likely to work out that way. Not all the time, anyway ;)
I like the stat generation, if I get in I'll be using the ten point buy.

I think I'll roll up a summoner- I've had an idea for one kicking around the back of my head for a while now. Should solve the arcane casting problem and even the in combat healing problem; if I put my half-elven skill focus in UMD I should be able to hit a DC 20 pretty consistently.
Semsephiel Godscourge was once feared across the planes. He'd traded blows with archfiends and demon lords. He'd created pocket realities on a whim, he'd commanded a vast legion encamped across the infinite planes. A thousand worlds he once had ruled.
This morning he'd gotten in a drunken brawl. And come out substantially the loser.
Almost three kilometers from his summoner, Evalee Ribbinz, he'd been fighting at a fraction of his usual shade of his former strength. Or rather, a fraction of his stamina. At the edge of his range his bones cracked like plaster and his skin split like someone with really thin skin. (For lack of a better metaphor.)
Now the one time duke of hell limped as he walked down the street, shoulders hunched and head bowed, threadbare cloak and hood drawn tight around him. He was trying to blend in- with limited success. His abnormal height (2.3 meters) and nightmarishly gaunt form were hard to hide. He wiped tar black ichor from his face, flicking it off his hand into the dusty street. It all came off in one solidified piece. If he were smarter, he'd be wearing baggier clothing. It would hide his bone-thin pseudo-body. But Semsephiel was not particularly smart. As an eidolon, his attributes were constrained by the skill of his summoner. An unimaginable age of experience, spells that could shake the foundations of hell, locked away in some untapped portion of his mind.
But he had more pressing concerns than exposition. That very afternoon he'd lost the third menial job he'd held this month - fired for instigating a fight. Well, that was the official reason. In reality he was fired for bleeding tar black blood.
How am I going to explain it to Ev?
He didn't need to eat- but his summoner did. And she was too young to hold a job of her own . . . the spells that bound him to this plane required that he obey Evalee Ribbinz, and his Geas required that he act in her best interest.
More than that though, Semsephiel disliked disappointing his superiors. Ev hadn't ever ripped off his limbs or frozen him in ice, but somehow he dreaded her optimism and platitudes more than infernal torture.
Ribbinz, you old bastard . . . how dare you die and leave me to raise your kid? I'm a fiend, not a father. How am I supposed to know what to do?
I'm not smart enough to think my way out of this.
...
I like what you have so far, but don't forget that the "audition" needs to actually include your character auditioning to join the carnival.
"Hey Sephy, wanna join a circus?"
The demon (devil, daemon, demonodand, Evalee's always thought that demon just rolls off the tongue better, and anyway, who wants to keep a gazillion names for outsider(evil) straight?) The demon slumped against the wall of the tiny apartment his slim budget could afford could afford, keeping his weight off his injured leg - a fact that went completely over Ev's head. At length he gave the tired reply, "Circus, Ms. Ribbinz?"
"I think you'd make a hella scary clown,"
"Undoubtedly. But does that qualify one for the position?"
"Think so. Is that a yes?"
"No."
"But come ooooooooon. It'll be fun. See new sights, meet new people. Rip their faces off. Maybe. Probably. It'll be an adventure! Don't you want to go on an adventure?"
The demon stared down at her, unconsciously menacing as ever. Evalee couldn't read his face - but then, she wasn't particularly adept at the art of reading faces. Still, his prolonged silence unnerved her.
"You all right?"
"It's chore enough to protect you while you are more or less stationary, Ms. Ribbinz. I fear that following you around the continent would tax even my exceptional abilities. Besides. What act do you intend to perform, at this circus? You aren't a trained performer."
"I was thinking that I could put on a magic show!"
"Magic? Sephy seemed more than a little skeptical of the idea. "What do you know of stagecraft or legerdemain?"
"I can cast spells, Sephy."
"Oh . . . that kind of magic." There's a pause. The two look at each other. "Very well then. I assume you have a traveling circus in mind?"
"Oh." Ev hadn't actually thought that he'd agree. "Oh. OH. Alright. Alright. Alriiiiiight. The Sirensong Traveling Carnival. They're doing auditions tonight."
"Tonight? You'd best pack your belongings. I don't know that we will be returning here."
"Isn't that kind of abrupt?" Surreal would be a better word for it. Sephy never does anything without thinking it through first. It seems . . . almost as if he'd already decided. I sure as hell didn't convince him.
Is there something I don't know? Put it to the test.
"Actually, I was just kidding around. I don't really want to join a circus. If he insists then I can be veritably certain that-
"Are you sure? I think that a change of pace would do you good. It can't be healthy to sit around in the dark all day. Humans should socialize with each other, otherwise you contract all manner of disorders."
"I have books to read. The people in them are better conversation than the people I've met." But more than that, you could insist that I join a club, or a society, or something. Why would a traveling carnival be your first choice?
Ichor on the floor. Tar-black and sticky. A limp. "Are you running from something?"
"Pack your things, Ms. Ribbinz. We wouldn't want to miss auditions."
"NEXT!"
"Hi, I'm Evalee Baker," introduced the platinum blond kid in ceremonial robes far too large for her (But at 150 centimeters, it's hard to find wizardly clothes that fit.), "And today I'll be summoning a demon for your entertainment."
There are mutters in the crowd. The general air is one of skepticism.
With great flourish the child draws an intricate chalk circle on the ground. "This ritual is not for the faint of heart," the summoner warns. "But know this: as long as I am here with you, you will come to no harm."
The audience is not convinced that any such demon will appear. Which is why they're surprised when, after a flashy one-minute ritual, a demon appears in the circle. Or, a devil actually.
Without his ratty coat Semsephiel strikes an imposing figure. Supernaturally tall and thin, with eyes that issue flame and fingers that taper into long talons, an infernal rune that glows on his bald forehead. "Mortal," he booms, "You dare summon me, Semsephiel the Godscourge? You will die most painfully."
(This proclamation likely breaks the suspension of disbelief for any members of the audience who are know much or anything about devils- there's now way that someone just summoned Semsephiel into the big top.)
"Break my circle if you can, fiend!"
Semsephiel makes a show out of pacing the perimeter of the circle, then he makes another pass crouched low, probing at the chalk with his fingers.
"Your circle is strong, young summoner."
"Glad to hear it." The summoner pauses a moment, to take a breath. She turns to the audience. "Now give me all your money or I'm going to smudge the circle!"
Members of the audience gasp.
[/i]"What?!" The bound demon exclaims. "[i]That wasn't on the script. If you can't take this seriously, I'm leaving." And he walks out of the circle and off stage.
Sephy is going to aid another Ev's Perform(Comedy)
For a total of 18.
There are nervous laughs from the others in line, and you think you can make out a couple from the shadowed stands as well, but you can't be sure. The nasal voice that spoke up earlier, however, laughs uncontrollably. Clearly, at least one member of the carnival found this performance entertaining.

Decided to go ahead and post the audition with everything. Myth-Weavers sheet is up, and backstory written in the alias.
------------------------------------------------------------
Pogug heard the yell of "NEXT!" and recognized it as the shout they did before everyone came up. So he did, bumbling in front of the audience with a fiddle in hand.
Pogug did notice that everyone liked to give a short introduction, and Pogug did like talking about himself. So he decided to do that too.
"I is Pogug! I come from tribe of goblin, then orc, and a little bit of human!" He grinned, baring his teeth. "I play Vween-maker! It make good sound, but sometimes too scratchy. But I do it best! No scratches!"
With that, he placeed his bow upon the strings, gliding it across. A musical hum built from them, before ceasing. Always test the tone, Pogug recalled his teacher saying, Before you play. Though Pogug didn't know what "tone" meant, he decided to do what his teacher always did before he played.
Pogug stopped for a moment, giving a brief pause. Then, in an instant, his bow danced across the fiddle, give jumpy, quick yet beautiful notes that would have been shocking on a street performer, much less a goblin. It was catchy tune, and rose in tension and volume as Pogug continued.
Pogug played for a small time, around half a minute, when he became quite bored. The tune was boring human song. So he decided to transition into a tune he had practiced in the forest, which he recalled from the orcs. Of course, he had changed the lyrics a bit.
"In fierce flame or ocean blue,
May your fortune be kind to you,
And if an attack may have you slain,
And all your efforts been in vain,
May you remember in your rest
Pogug, Pogug, is the best!
His legs swifter than the gods,
His arms akin to metal rods!
So forget any earthly grace,
and focus on Pogug instead."
Ending his song with a staccato note, Pogug jumped and gave a cheer, then shuffled offstage.
Decided to go ahead and post the audition with everything. Myth-Weavers sheet is up, and backstory written in the alias.
Seems like a fun character. That Scribe Scroll bonus feat doesn't make much sense for a goblin, though. Feel free to replace it with a spell focus or skill focus of your choice.
Indeed - I thought about doing scrolls as sheet music, but decided that if writing steals words from your head, notes should steal songs from your head. Poor Pogug has to memorize all his songs.
I think replacing it with Skill Focus(Perform(String)) would be good.
Characters that have completed their auditions:
Ashak the Acrobat (Hobgoblin Knife Master Rogue)
Erin Reynor (Halfling Primalist Bloodrager)
ClydeMcClod (Human Brawler)
Aphrashai the Mystic (Human Mesmerist)
Nathaniel Whitecloak (Human Flying Blade Swashbuckler)
Calaveras the Flying Frog (Grippli Aerokineticist/rogue)
Pogug (Goblin Skald)
Waiting for character sheet(s):
Evalee Ribbinz/Semsephiel Godscourge (Human Unchained Summoner?)
Kinda curious to try my luck at the audition - but first some questions!
1) How important is having a fresh alias for the application process?
I have one (this one!) that I simply edit for my applications just so I don't end up with too many 1-3 post aliases.
2) How important is having an external character sheet?
I usually place mine in the profile to avoid having to bounce around too many sites to make posts. But I get that this might be a preference thing - or maybe mythweavers have some nice feature that let's the GM get a quick overview (or simply make it easier to double-check builds!).
Anyhow I thought I might just ask, worst case I'll just have to go find my mythweaver login again eh :P

Now to see if the dice are kind!
Merp, not really!
Oh well was thinking of making an Arcanist so auxiliary stats shouldn't be *too* important.
Cheers //Lessah
I'm still doing my Daredevil / Flame Dancer Bard... just got sick for several days (bad timing... sick on vacation. Ugh.), so didn't have a chance to work on it, but I will have it up by Friday night / Saturday morning, and earlier if possible. Sorry for the delay. She will definitely have spellcasting. :)
Mekulu and "Pavlova" stand in line waiting for their chance to audition.
"Interesting group, I guess. Somewhat competent. But they certainly have absolutely NO class at all. I mean, a strong man? A frog who can jump? Clearly, we're far, far superior to them. I wonder if we're so superior that we just won't be chosen? Possible. These people look like the sort who wouldn't know quality if it clawed them in the arse. Speaking of which "
He looks up at Rhania and sends here am encouraging look. In that wordless way that they can almost communicate, he tells her
"Don't worry, you can do this. You're MUCH, MUCH better than the rest of them. You've got it"
Pavlova and Mekulu stand in line, their forms hidden by cloaks. Pavlova is obviously nervous but seems to be encouraged by Mekulus chittering at her.
When they are called up, they both throw off their cloaks.
Revealed are a beautiful young halfling woman and a small feathered bipedal dinosaur. Both of them are wearing gorgeous flowing clothing that both reveals and conceals them as they move.
"Uh, hello. My name is, uh, Pavlova. And this is my good friend and partner Mekulu. Mekulu, say hello to these nice people"
The dinosaur makes a strange sound that could, conceivably, be hello
"We will be singing the song and dancing the dance to tell a legend told by my people. It is the story of a young princess, a great prince who has been cursed by evil Fae, and how she manages to free him from the curse and restore him to his kingdom. As in all good stories, the two fall in love"
At that, she and Mekulu start to sing. Mekalu's voice is amazingly melodic as he sings a wordless croon acting as a background to Pavlova. Pavlova sings in a beautiful but somewhat tentative voice, describing the lost prince, the princess, the dangers that they fave together.
After describing the story, they then both start to dance it.
At first, as they are meeting, the dance is a ballet. Mekalu leaps around the stage. Pavlova primarily dances by her self but sometimes Mekalu catches her up and holds her aloft.
And then comes the climax of the act. They join together, expressing their love of each other. The dance resembles a tango, a very very erotic tango. Despite the fact that one is a bipedal bird and the other a halfling girl one can almost feel the erotic tension between the couple.
For this finale, Pavlova goes all out, obviously completely losing herself in the dance.
Almost exhausted, Pavlova nearly collapses, held up by Mekalu.
"And then, the two lived happily ever afterwards. Thank you"
This sounds like fun. Looks like a good fit for a character of mine. I have two problems though. I don't have a myth-weavers account and really don't want to make one. Hope that isn't a hard requirement.
And a 6? With no help from racial bonus? Isn't that a little low? 8 or 7 is the lowest O've ever been willing to go. I don't usually make characters with such an extreme flaw. I usually go for balance and breadth of experience then extreme focus.
A 6 and a 7? Well.

1) How important is having a fresh alias for the application process?
I have one (this one!) that I simply edit for my applications just so I don't end up with too many 1-3 post aliases.
That's an interesting way to handle it. So you change everything but the alias name, then transfer all that information to a new alias if/when your character is accepted into a game? I'll accept that.

I use mythweavers for all of my characters, including the NPCs for this game. I prefer to have sheets that match for player characters as well. I've already made one exception for a character using hero lab, which has a pretty good stat block output. Most other statblock outputs, including the one on mythweavers, are not very good, and I don't like the PDF sheets that hero lab produces. What I'm really trying to avoid is having every character have their sheet in a different format, be it a bad formfill PDF somewhere or random, unformatted scribblings on their profile page.
And a 6? With no help from racial bonus? Isn't that a little low?
Sure is. Like I said up front, I'm looking for characters with clear strengths and weaknesses, and players who will roleplay both. I totally understand that some players like to play characters with 12s and 13s for all of their stats, but I find that boring. There are plenty of other games where the GM won't bat an eye at that, but I'm looking for something different in my game.
I'm trying to figure out how to build the idea I currently have, of a little, very creepy child who, through trickery and training, hides from the shadows and aids other's performances in secret.
Previous build idea was an alchemist, but not sure how exactly to work from the shadows while actually doing things every turn, especially without my go-to spell Full Pouch. There's some 3rd party options that could work (Spheres of Power's Creation Playtest has some awesome stuff for firework users), but I can't think of any way to do it without breaking the wallet or the fluff.
E: Forgot dice rolls

Hmm. Mechanically, it sounds like you want to build a buffer, maybe with some battlefield control? Bard is an obvious choice for a buffer, but they can't really hide very well while they do it.
You should be able to build any of the full caster classes as a buffer, and given the lack of healers so far, it would be useful for you to have some of that as well. Oracle and witch come to mind as good options that might be more thematic than the core classes. If you choose witch or another class with a familiar, the valet archetype might be really useful.
If you want to be even more behind-the-scenes, occult classes are probably the best for stealthy casting, since psychic spells don't have vocal or somatic components.

Yes, exactly. : )

I usually go for the same layout as the bestiaries which, granted, can be a bit vague in what-comes-from-where. But uh that's really pretty close to the last one so I'll just go dig out my mythweavers stuff.
@From-the-shadows - Occult classes might work. Both the Mesmerist and the Occultist have some nice options. Some of the tricks of the former could be quite entertaining even!
If you want to be even more behind-the-scenes, occult classes are probably the best for stealthy casting, since psychic spells don't have vocal or somatic components.
I suppose I should attempt one of the Occult classes. I haven't built a character with them yet, but the idea I had featured a lot more, for lack of a better word, "Practical" effects, rather than magical.
I suppose a different character could be built to fill in party role of support caster, which I do enjoy mechanically, but I can't really think of one besides "Generic Sideshow Freak" which seems pretty generic.
A silly idea would be a pickled punk turned into a 10 RP race (0 movement (-3), Half-Undead (5), tiny (4), Telepathy (?)), ala 3717, but that might be a bit much to stomach. As a Psychic caster, though, it's an option, though I'll be required to be carried around.
Erp now that I see that someone already pulled off an summoning trick maybe I'll just grab the mesmerist myself. Though there seems to be one of those too ... Hmm the class is versatile, I think there's room for another performance : )
Edit: Orrrrr I'll just flip-flop a bit between arcanist and mesmerist for a while I think
I haven't picked my second class for my undine yet, so I could easily mix in some cleric or life oracle for healing.
I got stuck on motivations with the character I was making. Dropping my interest here now.
Not going to have time to polish off everything so I will back out of the running as well.
I have an idea for a Shelyn cleric. So an elf with a 6 con would still have a 6 con, or foes that mean we cannot put them into racial adjusted stats?
DM mentioned earlier that you *could* negate a racial negative with one score, as long as you negated a racial positive with your other score.
I have Semsephiel and Evalee's mythweavers sheets linked to their profiles now.
A question for the DM- does Semsephiel (the eidolon) get background skills? I'm assuming no for now, but I know what skills I'd like to add if I can.
I'm also wondering if Semsephiel can take a character trait and drawback. And if the answer is no, can he take a drawback anyway? I have one in mind.

Hmm, good questions. Summoner is a pretty powerful class already, even the unchained version, so I'm reluctant to do anything to further imbalance the class. On the other hand, I really like where you're going with the roleplay there, and I think that background skills and traits/drawbacks will enhance that, so here's what I'll do. If you give Semsephiel a drawback, you can also give him a trait OR background skills, but not both. Sound good?
Sounds excellent. :D
Too much flip-flopping and too little actually creating for me. I too shall withdraw my (non-existent) application. Best of luck everyone else : )
Zarine steeled her nerves and walked up on stage as her name was called. She really, really wanted this job, but she couldn't let it interfere with her performance. How bad can it be, really? The worst I can do is fail.
Luckily, once she was in front of the lights, everything fell into place, like always. She felt like a different person, and she knew she could do anything, and be anything here, and it was okay. She advanced to the ladder in her long-sleeved, full-length black leotard which showed no skin between neck and ankle, but still complemented her figure. Her raven hair streamed behind her as she scrambled up the ladder with a very small, light backpack on her back.
When she got to the top, just to show them what she could do she did a couple of flips from one swinging platform to another... the basics, showing that she was competent on the trapeze.
Then she cast prestidigitation on her clothing, changing the colors to bright clown colors. She moved to the high wire, doing a flip and then feather falling from one to the other, first pretending to panic, and then waving at the audience as she fell. acting surprised when she ran into the wire on the way down. Then she jumps on it a little, starting on way, and then back another. Doing a cartwheel and still somehow being in the middle of the wire.
She shrugs at the audience, acting really confused, and takes off her backpack, pretending to almost fall several times as she struggles with it. She digs through it, throwing out flowers and light bouncy things that the audience could catch, and several short pieces of wood that are suddenly clearly torches when Zarine pretends to have a sword fight with herself, and somehow a spark falls onto the fallen wood, setting it on fire. Zarine doesn't seem to notice this, and finally finds what it appears that she has been looking for. A rope.
She tries to tie the rope to the tightrope, but it keeps coming undone, and she gets frustrated and puts her hands on her hips. Then, she touches her forehead in the universal sign of "I have an idea," and she reaches out her hand and suddenly a flute appears in her hand.
She plays the flute
And a horrible screechy note comes out. The audience can *tell* it is screechy because it is VISIBLE and it stays in place, there next to her. She covers her mouth in shock, backing away, but then looks curious and goes back. She touches it. She pushes it. It doesn't move (though she does, making the tightrope sway and almost falling again, with the fire below).
She has another aha moment and ties the rope to the note, and proceeds to climb down the rope, right into the fire. She dances there, awkwardly, jumping out of the fire. The she looks at her feet, and they aren't burned. She gets a huge grin on her face and jumps back in and over it a few times, and then falls when she is trying to jump, and as she is falling suddenly gallons of water appear over her head drenching her, and putting the fire out . She looks confused up at the sky and turns around to dig in her backpack again and finally finds her umbrella, and starts walking off the stage, but pauses, and bows to the audience, and as she does, she disappears.
While she is invisible she returns to her seat, reappearing there soon after.
I'm totaling up my equipment now, and that is the last thing I had to do, so everything should be complete by the time you look at it.
I do not have a Mythweaver's sheet up. I know you told a couple of other people that it wasn't absolutely necessary, so I'd like you to look at my alias and see if it is good enough to stand alone. I like to think that I make very clear and complete profiles. However, if you look at it and still want the Mythweaver's sheet, I will do that in the morning. I don't mind having it, but it would be easier for me to only have to maintain the character in one place. I always build my characters using the online Mottokrosh sheets, but I typically only update them afterward in the alias itself. Anyway, your call.

I'll take a closer look at that later. For now, it looks fine, and you are on the list to be considered.
Characters that have completed their auditions:
Ashak the Acrobat (Hobgoblin Knife Master Rogue)
Erin Reynor (Halfling Primalist Bloodrager)
ClydeMcClod (Human Brawler)
Aphrashai the Mystic (Human Mesmerist)
Nathaniel Whitecloak (Human Flying Blade Swashbuckler)
Calaveras the Flying Frog (Grippli Aerokineticist/rogue)
Pogug (Goblin Skald)
Evalee Ribbinz/Semsephiel Godscourge (Half-elf Unchained Summoner)
Pavlova/Mekulu (Halfling Courtly Hunter/Velociraptor)
Zarine Greenblood (Human Daredevil / Flame Dancer Bard)
As I said, I have an all-day event tomorrow, so I won't make my decision until late tomorrow or sometime the next day. If I didn't list you and you think I should have, or if you're just running late on your submission, I'll give you until then, but since I don't know exactly when I'll get around to it, the sooner the better.
I also have something that I'm considering, if the group would be amenable. In addition to these regular "auditions", I had planned some additional tasks that the characters must complete before being allowed to join the carnival. For my in-person group, I may have to manipulate these tasks to ensure that the players (eventually) succeed, but since I have a much larger group here, I was considering picking a larger number (probably 6-8, enough for two teams) from this group, to make it through the initial audition and go on to a "round two" of selection. Not to spoil too much, but this second round would involve participating in performance combat, and if I decide to do this, the first round will be player-vs.-player (though the real goal would be to impress the "judges", rather than just beating the other team). Based on that, I would then narrow it down to a smaller group, which would proceed as I had originally planned.
I would appreciate it if you could all weigh in and let me know how you would feel about participating in something like that, knowing you might not make the final cut (though it would at least give you a chance to try out the character you built). Please use your character alias when posting your response, so that I can tell who is who.

Because it isn't a traveling carnival if there isn't a bloodsport . . . "Ms. Ribbinz, I fail to see how fighting this . . . McClod character is in your best interest at all. As your legal guardian, I would highly advise not brawling with the human mountain."
"C'mon Sephy. It's not like it's a real fight anyways, whole thing's staged. I'm sure they wouldn't let us do it if there was any chance of someone actually getting hurt."
I'm game, but of course combat isn't my character's specialization, and she is bound to lose if you throw her into a melee battle against someone who is. She's willing to try though (and unreasonably confident). :)
Fine here.
Clyde chuckles under his breath.Oh now, one must suffer for their art. Clyde licks a gumdrop and pops it into his mouth Perhaps I can fight with one arm behind my back.
I'd be willing to try, but much like Zarine, Aphrashai isn't incredible in combat. For the less martially inclined we couldn't try one of the social combat/ verbal duels if you'd be willing to run it.
I would be putting you in teams, so those who have more of a support combat role will have someone to support.
Indeed, Pogug is not very effective without friends (and by not very effective, I mean... not). But hey, I'm game.
I'm down. I don't want to post with my actual character anymore until I know if I've been selected. Right now that alias only has another three posts before it's locked.
"Beat each other up for the entertainment of strangers? Hey, there are worse ways to make a living." Erin shrugs. "Count me in."
I'd be willing to try it out, for sure.
I'm super sad I didn't have the time to finish my undine watersinger For this campaign, but it looks fun and so I will be lurking to watch your adventure!
I might be making a last minute edit to my character- switching my eidolon to a polearm for better battlefield control. If I did this, I'd be taking the 'push' evolution so that I could use my claws to knock people back into range of the polearm. But I don't know if this would work- am I allowed to use my secondary attacks (claws) before my primary attack (weapon)?
Khouri, he did say that he has an all-day thing today, so if you have time to finish today, you're golden.
I think that I'm going to have to withdraw my application. I've realized that I'm already in too many games right now, adding another one (even one that sounds as fun as this is likely to be) is just too much.
I DO love the idea of a PVP audition, mind :-)
oooh, I might still have time to finish then! GM question: can you use perform (sing) for performance combat?
(His all-day thing also means he probably won't be able to answer questions.)
Personally, I would say just go forward as though it is a real combat (where singing is just support), because I think that is what he meant.
But of course, if it is a sing-off, I'm totally down as well. ;)
