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.]

Nah, I'm fine basin' it off of ten; I don't need to have it be that specific.

[ suppose this means that it's only fair that wolfwood ""rate"" oscar too, right? ]

Yer not bad yerself—not gonna give ya a number though.

[sacrificialpawn]

Thanks for the 10.

[He will take it and he will run with it, thanks! In his defense, Wolfwood left himself completely open to that.]

But my 9 still stands.

[is2g]

Welcome, but if anyone bothers to double-check, I'm denyin' it. [ because not even his beloved plant would get a perfect ten from wolfwood. ] Also didn't realize bribery was on the table for a better number.

[ not that he would want a better number. he'll take the ratings that he has gotten so far, thank you. ]

[sacrificialpawn]

Not from me, but I'm not gonna speak for anyone else. [...] Though I guess that'd go against the whole "be honest" part, and I'm not really feelin' like chasin' people down over somethin' like that.

[He grins.]

Especially when it's clear that honesty was all that more than a few people needed.

[He's been watching everyone else, he sees!]

[is2g]

Yeah, it's not worth it. We're all here for some good fun. [ wolfwood will raise his glass. ] Or drinks. It's no reason to ruin someone's day.

[ there are plenty of other ways for it to be ruined that don't need to be due to any of their individual actions. still— ]

I wonder what it'll be next week. Yer knockin' two things out now.

[sacrificialpawn]

Haha... some of us are here for both.

[And to studiously try to ignore the guilt over finding out that a whole bunch of their number got attacked when he wasn't there to protect them! Mmmm we love that survivor's guilt--

He'll raise his glass in return, though.]

Y'mean for a game? Maybe I'll let someone else have a turn to start things next time. There's gotta be some stuff from other worlds that I don't know about.

[is2g]

[ cheers! and with that, wolfwood will knock back the rest of his drink. ]

I don't have much experience with games like these. It's not exactly somethin' I had a lot of time with.

[ not that wolfwood is volunteering for this by any means. well, not unless it came down to it? it's not like he wouldn't but also he's not going to take matters into his own hands.

hmmmm. ]

Two truths and one lie is the only other one that I know of.
