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.

[Maya didn't expect a stone-cold badass like Olivia to get shy about her accomplishments, but even hardasses can get embarrassed, she supposes]

No, it was really cool! You were all like.... Woosh!

[Maya poses and thrusts out her hands Magneto-style, as if to signify Olivia's powers. She's shaking her soda can as she does] It was awesome!

[She does sober a little bit at the 'it all worked out'.... because, well, it only kind of did.] Yeah, I guess so.
winces: (( twenty ))

[ stone-cold badass.................

anyway she cringes a little when she sees some of maya's enthusiasm die. rather hastily, she endeavors to change the subject. ]


H-How have you been since then? Are you quite close with Mettaton?
feytality: (PLACEHOLDER 5: BRIDE OF PLACEHOLDER)

[personal profile] feytality 2017-04-30 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
He's my agent! [She responds, with renewed enthusiasm... she doesn't stay serious... ish... for long, apparently]

I've been good! This planet is waaaaay better than the last one, filled with cute little kitties. Hey, how do you know MTT?
winces: (( ninety-one ))

[personal profile] winces 2017-04-30 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I'd met him when he was first part of the team, back on a different mission. He'd put together a lovely concert of sorts, in an attempt to lift the natives' spirits.

[ she doesn't really explain that she'd been part of the performances oops.

but, ah, there is something she cannot help but turn back to with a tilt of her head. ]


Sorry — you said agent...? Agent of what...?
feytality: feed me and you might live (might be plotting your murder)

[personal profile] feytality 2017-05-05 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like him! He's pretty thoughtful in his dishwasher way.

[share your secret singer past, Olivia...]

Weeeell... this is kinda on the downlow, but he's helping me start a career as an actress! Pretty cool, huh?

[it's hard to say if she's serious about this or not...]
winces: (( twenty-eight ))

[personal profile] winces 2017-05-10 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh—!

[ she perks up almost instantly. it doesn't even matter if maya is serious or not — olivia is now completely invested. ]

Is that your dream, Maya? Oh, how wonderful! We had very many great actors and actresses in my troupe.
feytality: (kneeling before Zod)

[personal profile] feytality 2017-05-10 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Kind of more of a hobby..... [But hey, if Olivia's into it, so is she]

[But also--]


You've got a troupe?! What kind of adventures do you get up to?
winces: (( five ))

[personal profile] winces 2017-05-11 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah — adventures? [ she has a hard time attributing that word to the day to day she lived with her troupe, if only because all the stories she'd read and heard about with actual "adventures" were always so much more exciting. ]

N-None? I don't think...? We traveled frequently, performing for whomever will have us...
feytality: (hay gaiz wuts going on in this thread)

[personal profile] feytality 2017-05-14 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like an adventure to me! [Maya starts shoveling popcorn into her mouth, attentive and enthusiastic] What sort of places did you perform at? What kind of performances? Did you have bears?

[don't talk with your mouth full, Maya]
winces: (( five ))

groans apologies for the wait ;n;

[personal profile] winces 2017-05-21 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
O-Oh, no... we weren't a circus. [ she looks sheepish and apologetic for that. ] We were merely a troupe of singers, dancers, and actors. We would put on productions for whoever would have us, really. Oftentimes we were left to construct our own stages, but they weren't much.
feytality: EHHH?? EHHHH? Nah. (rolling in the dough)

never threads with u again

[personal profile] feytality 2017-05-22 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
That's even better! I didn't know people still did that.

Did you guys put on old timey plays or stuff? You must have lots of stories! [share the deets, Olivia]
