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.]

Uh. [ He blinks very dumbly at Basilio for a moment. ] That's real flattering, but I'm still sayin' no. Just can't see myself loving again this late in life.

[There's a long sip of his drink... and then a barely-hidden cough, because man. Liquor? It burns, actually, and he's a youngin' with a sensitive tongue.]
Not sayin' I oughta be considered or anything, but you shouldn't count yourself out so soon, yeah? Figure you'd make someone out there real content.

And after a borderline awkward long pause, he shakes his head. ] Can think of a few who'd agree with you, but I've only got a few years left in this ol' body. [
even less than that if redd would just let him die in game] Wouldn't want to fall in love, only to leave them alone in a blink of an eye.... 'Sides, I've loved more than enough in my life. I'm content.
