🎈GET YOUR ASSES TO OLIVE GARDEN🎈

Sometime in the morning on Sunday, there are little notes that have been slipped under everyone's doors. Written in markers reads the following:

Let's celebrate getting Knuckles back at Olive Garden tonight at 6pm!!!!
Also I'm bored
-Percy

…Yeah………but hey, at least these notes will be customized! Each note has two characters, but, uh, these might not be accurate to who's actually in the room. He doesn't know who everyone's roommates are, so he's just hoping for the best I guess. (Someone's note includes the new guy, More. Shizuka is also on one of these as a pink dolphin with glasses.)

Anyway, the Olive Garden seems to have some balloons floating around. With the current state of the residents, nobody seems to care! There are also chefs in the kitchen who will make whatever you ask, but pushing them around enough will get them to leave the kitchen to anyone who wants to make something. (Thank you Redd.) Drinks are available for everyone, alcohol and regular soft drinks alike, and really? The world is your oyster. … Olive? You get the drill.

[...Dorothy is doing her best not to be Aggressively Herself though she does sigh a little bit and force herself not to tense. Let's not scare the poor girl--]

I was wrong about you. And perhaps more pertinently...I should not have spoken about you in such a manner. Though I had no intention to incite and offend, I can acknowledge that I'm...

[Beat.]

...Not exactly the kindest with the way I have said things in the past, and that was unfair to you. You've become something invaluable to us, and I...well. Suppose I wanted mostly to apologize for treating you like a child.

[toybombs]

[Taking a lil sippy of her Shirley Temple drink.]

Never have I ever been from a world other than Earth.

[toybombs]

[Drinking.]

It's actually a big hassle most of the time. But it's certainly better than hopping on a boat for months.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Is this really a good idea? We could get thrown- oh, right, well...

[ temple tap. No one's gonna throw them out when everyone's walking around like a robot. Ashley huffs a little and takes a drink. ]

...Never have I ever saved the world.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Oh- I'm sorry, that must feel just... Do you want us to stop?

[scythegun]

[Ooh, a sight for sore eyes! The bottle of wine, not you, you sussy old man.]

We wouldn't dream of it~

[They already have glasses filled, though...

Anyway, yeah, whatever, he'll scoot over, fork over the bottle!!!]

[ungratefuloz]

[they absolutely are.

...

viktor you know we're just nuts in a different direction right--]

It definitely is. It certainly feels like...I think the best way I can describe it is like one of the military balls I've attended once, but far less uptight. This genuinely feels like bliss. One we'll have to fight hard to make our normal, but...

One that reminds me of what we're fighting for.

[akademise]

[ Oh no, that's sweet... ]

Not at all. Maybe I'll be promoted into recalling something... and if I am not, I'm still enjoying myself watching the mayhem play out.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[ Ashley's eyes bug out so much they're likely to leap right out of their sockets, particularly at that invaluable. Reflexively, she shakes her head a little. ]

...I-I'm sorry too. [ It's rushed, and she drops her eyes to her notebook, right after. ] I was- I think I was a lot more...wound up, before.

[ Stumbling over every single word, but- ]

It's fine.

[scythegun]

Oh, I see!

[So she has such a place where she's from and it's making her homesick, got it!!]

Well, you're certainly right. We may get along rather well [mostly] but we aren't family. And I can see how this would bring back memories...

Will you tell me about your family?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[ ...Gulp. ]

I think I'd like to avoid anymore mayhem, honestly.

[ungratefuloz]

[Their favorite sussy old man has arrived...!! Dorothy finds herself chuckling a bit at that, before passing Raven a glass. Join the party.]

Oh, you haven't missed any more than a couple of sips while we talk! Come, join us! This certainly is the perfect environment for making merry with the three of us.

Yeager was just telling me about establishments like this in his own world, because mine have never had them--or at least, they were obsolete by the time that I was created. What about you, Raven, have you had any experiences in places like these?

[hexalding]

[well we sure ain't the normal ones-]

Oh, I always avoided gatherings like that. Miserable affairs, full of annoying shareholders. This, however...this isn't so bad.

[He let out a quiet sound, something between a laugh and the hitch of a fan.]

Part of me would remind them not to grow complacent, but...eh, I think we have earned a bit of celebration.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Oh, um... Well, sure, if you think you'd really like to listen.

I don't have any siblings or anything like that. It's just me and my mom and step-dad. Uh, and Jasper.

[ungratefuloz]

...Are you certain? I was quite cruel to you. I'm not going to deny you your anger if you still wish to feel it.

[...]

But I will admit...the environment was a lot of the reason why I had been so harsh, myself. It reminded me too much of the place I came from, and my mind had shifted to be focused on the mission to the exclusion of all else.

Here, it feels...well. Not necessarily as if I am going to worry less, but I do feel like we are a touch safer here. But even I can acknowledge I went a touch overboard.

[scythegun]

Of course I would. I've told you some about mine, ja?

[And he is content to listen, though...]

Who's Jasper?

[Not our Jasper, obviously. Are we talking a pet...??]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[ Got it in one! Ashley actually smiles a little. ]

My cat. He's a little orange idiot.

[scythegun]

Ah, how charming! Cats are very cute. Would you believe me if I said I've never had a pet before?

[guffawsungraciously]

...

I do not actually want to know what that means.

[he's not denying that he has one....]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[ Ashley listens, pencil down and eyes wide. It's like she's absorbing all the information she can. ]

...You were. I... It's not...just fine. You're right.

[ But... After a moment of sitting in that, Ashley wraps a hand around the fruity cocktail and pulls it closer, taking a small sip. ]

I hadn't expected you to say anything, though. I really hadn't. So...thank you, nevertheless.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Really? Never? Not even a...stray monster that followed you home, or something?

[guffawsungraciously]

That is quite targeted, you know.

[he knocks back a sip.]

[nyaxed]

[Also not drinking, because joke's on you (x2), he's never been to school, either.]

Think the point's to not be fair, yeah?

[hexalding]

Terrible.

[Rolling his eyes in the way of one blessed with military-grade sarcasm.]

[saltofthesea]

[ Lark looks at Oscar for a long moment, then takes his glass of juice. Well, barely 3 weeks in and he's thinking about whether he can make hangover cures... ]

Never have I ever been to school.

[ He's kind of curious. ]
