Party Rock Anthem only it's played on kazoos

[Oscar is a practiced master at Coping (tm) in the face of things he would prefer not to address in any sort of healthy or rational manner. After the events of yesterday, he's somehow getting the feeling that he isn't the only one, which means that in his mind there is only one thing to do: this translates to yet another Walmart booze heist (even larger than the original), a few side trips to amass snacks because RIP his kitchen, and some haphazardly erected decorations in one of the spare rooms to try to at least give off something of a celebratory atmosphere... but let's be real here, this is just Misery x CPR x Reese's Puffs + alcohol.

Sunday morning will find handwritten notes tucked under everyone's doors inviting them to a party that evening, snacks and drinks (that particular word underlined a couple of times, just in case people didn't pick up on the meaning of "party") provided gratis.

There's alcohol, there's soda for the minors, there's plenty of junk food to eat, and there are a whole bunch of other people who are also Going Through It. What better recipe for a party could you ask for?

... don't answer that.]

Oh... Like... like you're the kind of guy who's effortlessly popular with everyone because your physically fit and conventionally attractive? And very masculine.

[sacrificialpawn]

[Okay but why you gotta call him out like that tho--

But he laughs, clearly amused.]

Can't not be fit when you're a soldier... but thanks, I think. Guess the 'masculine' part kinda goes hand-in-hand with that too...

[holeful]

Aah, I suppose! Though, physically strong women have a different sort of appeal, I think...

[sacrificialpawn]

[On this one, they are agreed.]

Gotta be careful about callin' 'em that out loud, though. Some of 'em don't like it bein' implied that they aren't ladylike.

[See: Fiori getting up in his grill when he commented on her being strong--]

[holeful]

Why would being strong make them less ladylike?

[sacrificialpawn]

See, I don't think it does! But sometimes they get touchy about it...

[holeful]

I hope I've never offended Miss Dorothy by calling her strong, then....

[sacrificialpawn]

Nah, somethin' tells me she's the kind of girl who appreciates that sort of thing.

[Like. Have you seen her in battle? Hot.]

[holeful]

Aah... Miss Dorothy really is perfect as usual!

[sacrificialpawn]

Cheers to that!

[Raising his glass to punctuate the sentence.]

Dunno where we'd be without her when it comes to fighting.

[holeful]

Well, you and Mr Basilio do a lot of good work on that front too!

[sacrificialpawn]

Hahaha... I'm a soldier, so it's just business as usual for me. Same's true for Bas, which is why we stepped up for that part of things.

I'd be a pretty poor soldier if I was lettin' all of the rest of you get hurt.

[holeful]

Well, we're all in this together, you know? I can't speak for anyone else, I suppose, but I know I want to try and pull my own weight too! Not just rely on you guys and the others who are more used to combat.
