i invited ortega over tonight to watch sliders in my room (closed)

CHARACTERS: Mettaton, Maya, Peridot, Feferi, Keats, Olivia, Vaughn, Oliver, Giorno, Fugo, Papyrus (and possibly Sans)
DATE: A bit after arriving in Terra Felis
WARNINGS: Some of the movies involve violence, but this is just a sleepover. On a cat planet.
SUMMARY: Mettaton invited his closest friends to a musical viewing planned for when they got back to Oska. They're uh... they're just gonna have to make due with what they have.



...this isn't what Mettaton expected.

The original plan was much more dour in nature, surely. He had a very specific intent to hole himself in his room in Oska, feel horrible for himself, and then force those whose presence he enjoyed into spending the night with him watching movies that he also enjoyed. It was meticulously planned to cheer himself up! To encourage his friends to meet with one another and talk about how wonderful him and his taste in entertainment was! To fill the gaping void of despair of leaving Woodhurst with love and admiration!!

Instead, he found himself surrounded by cats. That tends to blast a hole in any pre-planned pity-party.

But! The show must go on, even with a change in scenery or motivation. Besides, it isn't as if his wonderful, wonderful friends (and Keats) couldn't use something fun themselves!! He promised them a celebration! After everything they've gone through, they certainly deserve it.

So his hotel room has been decorated as beautifully as Mettaton himself. Blankets hang from the ceiling, creating one giant fort within the room proper. Glitter is seemingly everywhere. Snacks (...mostly meat-based, like hamburgers, thanks to the area) have been paid for and set up lovingly along more blankets on the floor. Several pillows are also on the floor, as well a steady pile of them in the corner of the room (for extra and/or lounging, you see). The bed holds even more pillows, and the vanity has been encompassed in the fort for any emergency midnight makeovers.

It's going to be a long night.

--

6pm to 11pm:
West Side Story
Little Shop of Horrors
Les Mis


Things are starting off particularly well! It's a trio of downers, sure, but there's enjoyment to be had with them regardless! Mettaton continues to maintain that these are classics and need to be revered as such, but this notably doesn't stop him from pointing out any terrible singing or riffing on anything silly, especially with the last movie involved. He encourages his friends to do the same and get as much fun out of the experience as possible. It's a fine start.

--

12am to 4am:
The Little Mermaid
Enchanted
Into the Woods


The snacks are beginning to wane. The weakest of those invited have begun to quietly drift off into the night, which is a shame for two reasons: One, these are more hopeful movies!! The joyful ones!! The ones Mettaton can't seem to stop himself from sobbing dramatically at. Two, he has a supply of glitter pens at his disposal and has suspiciously left them in plain view, as if challenging his guests to use them on one another.

--

5am to 7am:
Sweeney Todd
Chicago
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Grease 2


It's the dreaming hours, now. Most people with sane sleeping schedules or an ability to tune out Mettaton's gabbing have taken to the slumber part of this party. The movies have also gotten a bit more... questionable, in their content. Cannibalism, murder, badly-sung songs about reproduction... Anyone still awake has most likely reached that blissful, slap-happy state of all slumber-parties where everything is hilarious, the giggles cannot stop, and you're constantly trying to keep yourself from waking the rest of the guests.

Mingle, enjoy, and please keep Maya from eating all of the snacks.

PS: Don't trust the bone goblin attempting to sell catnip. He wasn't invited.

Honestly, yes, that would've solved all their problems.

[He can't help but grin at Mettaton's outburst.]

Ah, but I suppose it is a story. It wouldn't be as fun if she did know how to read, would it?
slapfight: (△we'll have to confiscate your retinas)

[personal profile] slapfight 2017-04-10 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
She signed the contract! It can't be legally binding if she couldn't even read it.

[she's not even paying attention to you two. she's being indignant.] The struggle could have been him dealing with understanding her as a person, and not just some vision he saw after he almost died.
headlining: (wow my keywords are dumb)

[personal profile] headlining 2017-04-11 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
You wouldn't believe how many people sign a contract without reading it. But eh, when it comes to stories like this, loopholes are rather the norm.

[He pushes up his glasses with a finger.]

That could be an interesting take on the story. I mean, this story has been adapted in numerous ways, that could be one of them.
slapfight: (△ but you didn't tell me your plan)

[personal profile] slapfight 2017-04-13 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh! [she flops backwards onto the pillows and stares at the ceiling.] Maybe I'll write my own! It would be easy to incorporate Percy and Pierre into this story... Percy as the passionate but tragically clueless fish person. Pierre as the brutish prince who sees a potential partnership in this mysterious man who saved his life. Together they could rule the land and sea!

[she makes grabby hands at the ceiling.] Paulette can be the witch.
headlining: (do it better than anybody)

[personal profile] headlining 2017-04-13 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
...Excuse me?

[Now those are names he's not familiar with. Keats stares at Peridot, frowning.]

Who are these people, and why do their names all start with "P"?
slapfight: (△ and then the rats came for them)

[personal profile] slapfight 2017-04-17 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Um. [she rolls over on her stomach and scoots closer, pulling up one of her Camp Pining Hearts episodes on her magitek watch. instantly, Keats is treated to two teenagers in camp clothes and thick Canadian accents speaking with overwrought drama in their voices.

"You don't understand, Paulette. This injury isn't just about the three-legged race. It's about the honor of the Blue Team. How can I face my own team if I sit this out?"]


That's Percy. He's a little emotional, but he can be brutal when it counts.

[Oh, she's showing him something? He actually leans closer, eyebrows furrowing as he sees the images.]

This is...a show? [It's not one he's familiar with at all. Judging by the accents, he hazards to guess it's American or something of the like.]

So you're referring to the characters of this show, then. I'm guessing you watch this a lot?
slapfight: (△ he's mostly devoured.)

[personal profile] slapfight 2017-04-20 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, yes! [she scoots closer, suitably distracted from what's going on on the other screen to focus on her own.] It has an extremely complex group of characters- except Paulette. She's garbage.
headlining: (do it better than anybody)

[personal profile] headlining 2017-04-21 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
And why is she garbage?

[He asks, slightly curious. He's never seen the appeal of television, so it is somewhat interesting to find why people like this format over, say, books.]

Let me guess. Is she the villain of this story?
slapfight: (△ DUMB LIKE A MOOSE)

[personal profile] slapfight 2017-04-22 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[why do people always ask her to explain this. PAULETTE IS JUST TERRIBLE.]

Not exactly. She just has no places in the camp hierarchy. She offers nothing. If she weren't there, the camp would function just fine, and we wouldn't have this useless person fawning over Percy every second.

[THE AUDIENCE MUST UNDERSTAND YOUR MOTIVATIONS FOR HATRED OF FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, PERIDOT]

Well, can't you just write a letter to the show creators and complain? I'm pretty sure that such people accept fan letters and the like.
slapfight: (△ yeah. i'm gonna make him hurt.)

[personal profile] slapfight 2017-04-27 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh I've done it. Hundreds of times. I've even reached out to my 140 characters!

[no one has explained to her exactly how Twitter works yet.]

Your...what? Which 140 characters?

[HE COMES FROM A TIME BEFORE TWITTER, EXPLAIN, PERIDOT, EXPLAIN]
slapfight: (△ there's a squid brain in your head)

[personal profile] slapfight 2017-05-02 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
The ones on the thought documenting website.

[like she really can explain twitter.]
