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.]

Turo, that outfit is amazin'!

[He's 100% serious, this is exactly his jam.]

And even I can't deny you're a good-lookin' guy.

[tworo]

[Turo is visibly shocked by every part of this!]

Oh, uh........thank you...?

[reallyfishy]

[Why are so many of you surprised to receive compliments tonight!!]

What prompted the wardrobe swap? I wouldn't've expected ta see ya in somethin' like that.

[tworo]

Ah. [He winces.] Just - an experiment, I suppose.

[reallyfishy]

[Turo, buddy, what's got you so down.]

Hey, nothin' wrong with experimentin'. Fashion's a good place as any fer it!

[tworo]

The feedback has been broadly negative. I will return to my previous mode of dress after this.

[It’s just about data, that's all. It doesn't matter to him. As long as it doesn't matter, he cannot be hurt.]

[reallyfishy]

Tch, they're just a buncha killjoys. I say ya dress in whatever makes ya happy.

[tworo]

It does not make me happy to experience group mockery. I do not need to dress in any particular manner, so I will adjust accordingly.

[reallyfishy]

If you're sure. Sorry ta hear you've been mocked.

[That sort of stuff rolls off of Raven's back, but Turo might not have much experience with it. Bummer.]

[tworo]

Quite sure, thank you.

[This is what led to the disaster of this party, probably. If he just never wears anything outside of the prescribed guidelines again, he'll be fine!]
