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.]

[...Hmm. Dorothy thinks about this briefly, but...]

...I think you're a little too adorable for me personally, but I would at least rate you a 6/10.

[:CLOWN_STANDING:]

Adorable...

[Wheezes...]

There's something wrong with everyone here...

[ungratefuloz]

[--Hey!!!]

Come now, is it really so wrong?

[weepingclown]

Yes? There's no way more than one person could think I'm... cute...

[ungratefuloz]

Well, you're quite wrong about that, you know. I think you are at least charming, even if you're not someone I'd personally consider attractive.

Did you have someone who fancied you at home?

[Ah. Joker looks down at his drink, chewing on his bottom lip for a moment.]

...No.

[It's a difficult truth to swallow, but even if he could still make himself believe Natalie held affection for him...

Well. She's not there anymore, is she?]

I would never—that would never happen.
