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.

Who, me?

[He aims a very expressionless look over at Vaughn. This man is not okay. Maybe his brain will never be the same way again. He'll have musicals in his head forever, now.]

Hardly not. I'm quite comfy, really. [He frowns.] I'm fine where I am.

Oh. [ well, shit. now he feels bad. ] Okay. Sorry, I'll just...

[ he gently places the pillow back where it was, restoring full integrity to Keats' little fort, and clears his throat quietly. anyway. ]

So, not a fan of these things, huh? Musicals, I mean.

[ he's clearly a fan of pillows. ]

What could've given that away?

[He says, his tone ever so mockingly light.]

Really, I'd be fine if I didn't see any in my lifetime. I'd be perfectly fine with that.

[ please excuse Captain Obvious over here. he shrugs sheepishly, even though Keats probably can't even see him through all those pillows. ]

That bad, huh? [ he pauses, thinking. ] Well, you could have declined the invitation, sooo I guess that makes you a good friend. I'm sure Mettaton appreciates it.

[ (wink.) ]

[See Keats. See Keats' cheeks suddenly flush red in the span of a few seconds.]

Oh, poppycock. [WHO EVEN SAYS THAT, KEATS.] Look at him. He's having the time of his life. I'm sure he's enjoying my absolute misery.

[He lies, like a liar.]

[ you're lucky his vision of you is mostly obscured by pillows, good sir. ]

What? No way. I bet he wants you to have a good time. I mean, did he know you didn't like musicals when he invited you?

[ ...actually, that seems very possible. maybe he should switch gears back to the "you're a good friend" argument. ]

—Uh, regardless, I doubt he asked you to be here just to watch you be uncomfortable. You're good friends, right?

[ (wink.) ]
headlining: (i just count the hours)

[personal profile] headlining 2017-04-29 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
We've known each other for a while. I'd be shocked if he didn't.

[He just...casually inches further into his pillow fort.]

Good friends? [He lets out a short, barking laugh.] Don't make me laugh. He's a nuisance, I tell you.

[A NUISANCE HE HAS A CRUSH ON, LEAVE HIM ALONE.]

Well...

[ the pieces are starting to come together, here. ]

Okay, if you don't like musicals, and you don't like him, then why are you here, exactly? You know, if you don't mind me asking.

[ he's pretty sure Keats minds, but now he's curious. ]

[personal profile] headlining 2017-04-29 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I got invited.

[He says, like those three words are enough to explain everything.]

That's all.
moneyman: (* why can't replicators make cheetos)

[personal profile] moneyman 2017-05-03 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Obviously. Sorry, I guess that was a stupid question.

[ there's clearly nothing going on here. ]
