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.]

[ also considers this, but only after a quick sip of his drink. ]

...yer got a point. Most of us are nice to look at.

[holeful]

[Nodding.]

Our disagreements aside, you're certainly especially so, Mr. Wolfwood. Especially your chest. 80 points at least.

[is2g]

[ he's going to assume that's out of 100 and then glance down at his chest before looking back up at fukuda. ]

Especially my chest, huh?

[ wolfwood needs more alcohol in his system before he can make any jokes about fukuda being a tits guy, tragically. ]

I'll take the "at least" 80.

[holeful]

[It's less about his preferences and more about how Wolfwood's manner of wearing his suit that draws attention to it.]

Aah. The way your leave your shirt partly unbuttoned draws attention to them.

[is2g]

[ his boobs draw much attention and he's aware of it. ...and refuses to do anything about it. ]

Well, not the first time I've heard someone tell me that.

[holeful]

Then at this point you're doing it on purpose?

[is2g]

Yeah, but only because I want to. I don't care if people are lookin' at it or not.

[holeful]

I mean, I suppose your shirt isn't much lower than mine. You just have... more underneath.

[is2g]

Guess I do.

[ this isn't wolfwood being humble about it but just... well. ]

I'd go as far as to say that there's a bit more underneath in general.

[ you know. like muscles. ]

[holeful]

... Yeah.... That's true.

[Looking Wolfwood over with a vague hopeless bisexual type of expression.]

[is2g]

[ WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!?

either way, wolfwood is just going to quietly stare back. or calmly?? ]

Did ya need a refresher of what I look like?

[holeful]

I was just reflecting on what you said!

[is2g]

Right.

'nd what did ya learn in yer reflectin'?

[holeful]

You have a nice body in general.

[He shouldn't be allowed to drink he even more unfiltered than usual.]

[is2g]

[ BRO WHAT DOES HE EVEN SAY TO THIS?

...

allow wolfwood to have a sip of his drink. ]

Thanks.

[holeful]

You're welcome!

[He pauses, before he adds;]

You still need to work on your personality, though.

[is2g]

What? Don't think my personality is part of the charm?

[ BECAUSE IT HAD TO BE SAID!! ]

[holeful]

Well, you're a kind person and clearly care about people, but then you bend over backwards trying to stay distant, and that's what annoys me, to be honest.

[is2g]

[ a bit late to say that he was being sarcastic but oh well!!!

and there's no way he doesn't click his tongue when fukuda calls him kind. here stands wolfwood, a man who hates being called kind, but also unable to do anything about it. ]

Maybe there's a reason for that.

[holeful]

[You can't expect Fukuda to pick up on that, you should know that by now, WW.]

And what's that?

[is2g]

[ he does but it doesn't mean he has to like it. ]

Past experiences. It was better for everyone if I did that.

[holeful]

That sounds like the kind of thing I'd say and you'd scold me for saying.

[is2g]

[ ...... ]

Maybe.

[holeful]

[Slightly drunken point.]

That's the thing I'm talking about! That's what's annoying!

[is2g]

[ who knows how much wolfwood has had to drink by this point, but it also probably doesn't matter how much he has had to drink. ]

Well sorry if ya find me annoyin'.
