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.]

Dorothy seems to start a bit when the bottle lands on her, blinking once, twice, thrice--oh. This is...actually happening, isn't it--]
...Oh, my. [Dorothy looks to Yeager, definitely not disinterested, but considering the flirting earlier--] It would seem that fate really does have something interesting in store for us.
[She is at least going to check him over and not move just yet--is he okay with this? It was one thing back there, but...]
no subject
But again, Yeager is no coward. He shrugs at Dorothy's words and downs the last of his drink before getting up to join her.]
So it would seem! I trust you're still willing to play?
no subject
Of course I am. What exactly do you take me for, some sort of coward?
[Get over here, you. You're infinitely better at initiating these kind of things anyway, as she...unfortunately found out...
But still, she almost looks a little excited. Nothing to worry about at all, even if she's trying to temper it down because They Are Being Perceived--]
no subject
[He's just going to pretend that he didn't see her looking so delighted, okay!! Don't give him a feeling right now!!
Anyway, Yeager reaches out to touch Dorothy's cheek, to guide her into a brief, chaste kiss. Nothing special! Nothing worth 👀ing over!! Don't make it weird!!!]
no subject
But Dorothy will absolutely let herself be guided into that kiss and--oh. Oh, that's cute and nice, actually--she'll return it briefly at least, but her hand winds up moving before her mind can stop it and she'll kind of just...
Reach out to twiddle that loose strand of Yeager's hair, if he's otherwise unopposed? She'll let go the second they separate but that was...]
...That was remarkably sweet.
no subject
Really, I don't know what else you expected, miss Dorothy.
[...he may be turning slightly pink shut up—
Oh, and he'll reach up to catch her wrist, lacing their fingers together for a moment as he pulls her hand away from his hair to press a very gentlemanly kiss to the back of her hand. It's not like he's opposed to her toying with his bangs but girl we are in public?? This is totally a smooth transition to him winking at her and getting back up to return to his place in the circle, it is definitely not a retreat because he's embarrassed!!!]
no subject
Yeager definitely isn't the only one turning pink now, because what the fuck. That was smooth??? She honestly did not know what the hell she was doing and just kind of moved more curiously than anything, but she kind of just clams up and--
Yeah. Maybe it's for the best we don't acknowledge this the rest of the night!!! Dorothy is just kind of going to scoot out of the circle after--]

Chief among them being that he kinda wanted in on that. Hm.]
