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.

Really? You looked like you were enjoying it.

[He hasn't quite realized the problem yet...]
winces: (( twenty ))

[ she keeps a hand over her mouth, cheeks growing darker. ]

I-I was... up to a point...

[Well, there's only one thing that can make someone look so uncomfortable when they're eating popcorn.]

Is it in your teeth?
winces: (( thirteen ))

[personal profile] winces 2017-04-30 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ a soft gasp, hand now flying up to fully cover her mouth. ]

C-Can you see it...?
catphishing: (54)

[personal profile] catphishing 2017-04-30 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oliver laughs, shaking his head.]

Not if you cover your mouth like that.

[|He grabs a toothpick from the snack table, handing it over to her.]

Here. See if you can get it out. You'll feel a lot better.
winces: (( five ))

[personal profile] winces 2017-05-01 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ luckily, olivia recognizes what a toothpick is, and eagerly grabs for it when he offers it to her. ]

That is all? I am just to fish it out?

[ OH THANK NAGA for a while there she was worried this was meant to be part of the... experience. ]
catphishing: (7)

[personal profile] catphishing 2017-05-01 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
That's all.

[See? An easy solution.]
winces: (( thirty-eight ))

[personal profile] winces 2017-05-02 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ah, please excuse her then as she fiddles with the toothpick behind a hand. she even turns half-away to continue along with propriety.

when she finishes, she turns back looking both surprised and triumphant. ]


Oh—! It worked! Oliver, you're a genius!
catphishing: (29)

[personal profile] catphishing 2017-05-02 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really. I think my mom taught me how to do that.

[He's flattered, though, despite the simplicity of it. It's always nice to be appreciated even if it's just a little thing.]

Better now?
winces: (( five ))

[personal profile] winces 2017-05-03 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh much, thank you. [ olivia is rubbing at her cheek as if it were actually sore, but really she's just marveling at how much better she feels. it might have been a minor thing, but it had definitely felt strange and uncomfortable. ]

I hope I didn't disturb your viewing, though...
catphishing: (162)

[personal profile] catphishing 2017-05-03 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oliver shakes his head, offering her a reassuring smile.]

No, it's okay. I've seen most of these before now.

[Multiple times for some of them.]
winces: (( twenty-eight ))

[personal profile] winces 2017-05-04 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? [ olivia perks up at that, unconsciously scooting a little closer to oliver in her intrigue. ] Do you come from a world where many of these exist?
catphishing: (7)

[personal profile] catphishing 2017-05-04 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oliver nods, clearly enthusiastic about the subject.]

Oh, yeah. There are so many good musicals out there. Some of the ones Mettaton's chosen aren't even close to being in with the best ones.
catphishing: (14)

[personal profile] catphishing 2017-05-04 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Grease 2, Mettaton. You're including Grease 2.

[He's not joking.






(Yes he is.)]
winces: (( fifty-nine ))

[personal profile] winces 2017-05-10 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Is the second not as good as the first? [ she's confused... surely a continuation of a story can only be good! ]

But — what would you have liked to see, then?
catphishing: (201)

[personal profile] catphishing 2017-05-10 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
It's really not. You need to watch the first one sometime.

[You'll regret that question, Olivia. There are so many...]

Grease. [Duh.] The Sound of Music, Annie, Sister Act... there are a lot really good ones.

[Honestly, he's reigning himself in.]
winces: (( thirty-five ))

[personal profile] winces 2017-05-10 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps I can see about viewing these from our magitek one day... I have heard we now have a service available for viewing these movie things.
catphishing: (147)

[personal profile] catphishing 2017-05-10 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
We do! I haven't seen them on there, but I haven't looked for them. Maybe I should.

[In a few weeks, when he isn't all musicaled out from tonight.]
winces: (( twenty-three ))

[personal profile] winces 2017-05-11 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ olivia's cheeks color a little in her mounting embarrassment. ]

I-If you should ever want company...
catphishing: (31)

[personal profile] catphishing 2017-05-11 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[His smile widens, clearly pleased with the suggestion. He could gladly sit and watch them alone, but this is even better.]

I'd like that. Musicals are better with company.
winces: (( thirty-two ))

[personal profile] winces 2017-05-21 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she beams at his approval, barely able to keep her relief and happiness in check with a quick clapping of hands. ]

I have begun to think so too...! It is settled, then!
catphishing: (5)

[personal profile] catphishing 2017-05-24 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
That's great. I can't wait.

[She's so cute...]
