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.]

[guffawsungraciously]

No, it certainly is not. I might be offended if you said it was easy for you, even.

[divinevoid]

Ah, that I expect as well.

You do know that I would never wish to see your handsome face express such sentiments towards my person, hm? Though, I do believe I see naught but approval right now, yes~?

[guffawsungraciously]

I would say that would continue to be the case so long as you keep being so complimentary. Do keep it up, will you?

[divinevoid]

Oh, keep it up, you say?

When you make such lovely demands, what can I do but aquiesce?

[ They don't leave it at that, in fact. No, not at all, they look pleased as they say what comes to mind, that fond affection dripping from their tone with relative ease. ]

Shall I speak upon how magnetic your personality has been from the very start? How easy it is to glimpse the lovely, entrancing spark in your eyes? The great poise and ingenuity I have witnessed off and on the battlefield? The relentless, yet admirable display of unwavering confidence? That unrestrained, endearing enthusiasm in embracing your interests no matter what they may be? How, when looking upon you I wonder if that golden hair must be as vibrant as the sun?

[guffawsungraciously]

Why, if I did not know better, I would say you are trying to make me blush.

[he's not. yet. but you know.]

If you keep going, you may very well succeed, you know.

[ ...A blushing Jasper.

The mere thought of it excites them - the other blond looking so touched with their praise that he shows such a cute reaction. They wish to be the one to manage it.

The amount of determination they suddenly feel in succeeding can't be rivaled even by the most stubborn protagonist. ]

I believe that I shall succeed~

After all, you do realize that I feel you are ever so deserving of that sheer amount of praise? To be exalted endlessly in even the way you cast your gaze. For each and every single deliberate movement you make?

Ahh...you forever captivate all that I am, just by simply being who you are. Do you realize how much I feel that being by your side is a privilege?

[ They reach out for one of Jasper's hands, just so they can hold it, green eyes looking into the man's, intent. They want their words to make him happy as well; not to simply overcome a challenge. ]

Dear Jasper, do you realize even what your smile does to even someone like me? It makes myself feel quite incredibly sentimental. Yes, to the point that it feels as if I gazed into the meaning of perfection itself. Which is a star that still pales in comparison to you in any form. After all, every side of you I have witnessed feels as if a reflection of that expansive, but profound universe. And, there is something else I must tell you...

...I had not known I was the type of individual who could cherish every facet of an individual, until I met you.
