but even if the stars and moon collide [afterparty]

[allatonce]

[Well, that sucked!

After about an hour, invitations written in colorful ink appear under everyone's doors.]

Understandable if you're not up to it, but we're having a memorial and "don't wanna be alone" hang-out in the restaurant again.

[The restaurant has very much been decorated with the most rainbow fabric she could find in the department store. Jonathan got roped in, mainly so she could make sure he was doing okay, but also because she assumed that he knew how to put a tablecloth on a table. He seemed like the type, anyway.

After consulting with Undertaker, most of the food that's been set out is more traditional Chinese funeral food than Victorian—you can get a whole roast duck in the restaurant—but she tried for a mix of things. There is fruit, the aforementioned roast duck, and several vegetarian dishes along with potatoes for some reason and... cookies? Okay then.

Joy's trying, because that was way less terrible for her than it was for basically anyone else.

Happy Pride Wrath, New Rapture!]

no warnings yet but!!! sighs, dandy is almost always nsfw

[bootyhunter]

[To anyone looking for Dandy, good luck! He's not keen on talking to anyone he doesn't to want to be speaking to. However, if he can catch Mielle before night falls, he is looking to apologize.

On his way back to his room, he is going to make a stop at the pool just to stare at the spot where Obi's body was found for a good long while! He isn't going to cry or say anything, he's just going to stand there like a surly idiot.

When Joy and Rossiu return to their rooms, they will notice that the bathroom door of Suite 4 has been shut for a long time, and that the sound of water running has not ceased since they've arrived...

Soon, some of that water will seep out through the crack beneath.

*Also, feel free to wildcard me! My discord is son_nya#4587.]

suite 4

[onemillion]

[Um. That doesn't look good. Knock knock???]

Dandy, are you okay in there?

[He's going to assume it's Dandy, anyway. Joy probably wouldn't flood the bathroom...]

[bootyhunter]

[Unfortunately, there is no reply!

Don't worry Rossiu, he's still alive! Um, you may have to bust open that door, though...]

[onemillion]

[Well!! That's not good, um!! He's going to knock harder and raise his voice again.]

Dandy? This isn't funny - if you need help please let me know!

[listen he does not want to break down the door mostly because look at him. he cannot bust open the door. he is a noodle.]

[bootyhunter]

[In that case, you absolutely have permission to call anybody else for help! Be forewarned, however, Dandy is only in his underwear.

Yes, he wore it into the shower! He is, um, having a Time.

You'll see!]

[onemillion]

[smh dandy if you yell at him for breaking down the door, he'll drown you himself!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, give him a bit and he'll come back with a rather unique solution... and by that I mean Leafeon. You might be thinking "surely Leafeon cannot be strong enough to get this door open" but a Pokémon is much more powerful than a scrawny politician like Rossiu, so with their power combined, the door finally opens...!!

Leafeon also just turns and leaves, because he's clearly not here to deal with whatever nonsense is going to happen next.]

My apologies for opening the door, but when you wouldn't respond...

[So uh. Obviously he's going to double check that Dandy isn't dying first?? You okay, dude.]

[bootyhunter]

[Rossiu will find Dandy totally spelunked in the bathtub, knocked out cold. He's draped over the edges in an entirely ungraceful manner, arms sloppily splayed on either side of him. One of his knees is bent and the other is over the opposite edge of the tub! They look pretty banged up, implying that he may have slipped and fallen. The center of his forehead is looking pretty red, too.

Unfortunately, the shower is still running! Better turn that off first. His chest does rise and fall, though! So he is definitely alive. Also, he is in his underwear. Thank your lucky stars, Rossy-baby.]

[allatonce]

[Whenever Dandy gets back in his room and not flooding the backroom, Joy leans against the doorframe of his door with a plate of leftover food in her hand. It's mostly cookies and fruit? Okay.]

Knock knock, asshole. Open up.

nsfw

[bootyhunter]

Are you sure you want in?

[At the very least, his voice is back to normal.]

My Dingle-Dandy just so happens to be out, baby!

[It isn't!!! He's in that godddamn tye-dye monstrosity, or whatever the fuck set of clothes when they got here, thank goodness. He is going commando, but as soon as I typed that information, I regretted it. Um, every article of clothing of his is wet.]

Sorry.

[allatonce]

....... Why are you wet?

[She already regrets this.]

[bootyhunter]

[At that, he sounds more audibly distressed.]

Long story.

[allatonce]

....... Go change, please. If you die of some stupid shit like pneumonia—!

[That's a threat! :) She will come kick down the door to deadland and drag him back if he dies from some stupid shit.]

[bootyhunter]

Fine! I'll go do that.

[Since he is already in dry clothes, he's just gonna idly kick the wall a few times. This is primarily a desperate attempt to make it sound like he is changing!]

There! I'm ready.

[He's so going to regret this.]

You can come in now.

wildcard, baby

[sixthnonsense]

[Hagakure's been doing a lot of wandering tonight, but not once has he seen Dandy. So hopefully he's not intruding on Rossiu and Joy too much when he wanders into the suite to knock on Dandy's door.]

Dee? You home? I brought some of that crappy alcohol!

[bootyhunter]

Uh, yeah.

[Here he is, opening the door! He is in a now dry undershirt and slacks. However, his hair is down and his shoes are off.]

How crappy are we talkin', damn! Is it strong, at least?

[sixthnonsense]

[I can't believe Hagakure is the one who gets spared from. All of that.]

It's horrible! What I'd give for a beer instead, lemme tell ya... [But that's beside the point.] But it's definitely strong. It got me through the night after last trial, and I still got some left.

why is this gay??? shinichiro watanabe i am sorry

[bootyhunter]

And you're sharin' it with me instead of one of the pretty girls?

[He offers Hagakure a lop-sided grin. Clearly, Dandy is just poking fun at him.]

Wow.

You are stupid.

[sixthnonsense]

[He will accept being called stupid. It's true.]

Eh, girls deserve much better booze than this. We guys can deal with the crappy stuff. 'sides, I haven't had a lotta opportunities to share a drink with a friend, y'know? All my classmates were too young for it.

[bootyhunter]

Classmates?

[He has no right to judge, as he, an adult man... Also went back to highschool, but we just won't talk about it because that episode is wildly cursed so I refuse to acknowledge it as canon-]

Were you recently in highschool?!

[He ushers Hakagooby in with one hand.]

Good for you, man.

I never really managed to finish all the way.

[is this also a double entendre? a yaoi innuendo??? we shall see]

Pool

[dullshooter]

[Oh, right, the pool isn’t sacred anymore. Nothing is.

Misfire comes up behind Dandy, and though he’s far from particularly stealthy, he announces himself too.]

…You have no idea how hard I’m trying not to push you in right now.

[bootyhunter]

[Dandy shoots Misfire a quiet glare. After a few seconds of uncomfortable eye contact, he utters:]

Can't you see that I'm not in the mood?

Beat it. I don't have the energy to get into it with you again.

[dullshooter]

[Misfire rolls his eyes.]

Come off it, mate. What makes you think I want to get ‘into it’ either?

[bootyhunter]

'Cause you're always spoutin' stupid shit!

[Ooh, prickly! Now slightly less prickly.]

But I know you don't mean it.

[dullshooter]

That’s just my playfully glib personality.

[As if he can’t help it!]

And that just now was what we call an ‘icebreaker’. But if you want the more boring route I can go back to a plain hello.

cw dead body stuff

[bootyhunter]

I just fished my dead friend's body out of the water today, chum.

[Dandy's sarcasm is um... Not Fun when pointedly directed like that?! Even I felt it, rip...]

And now I can't get that cold, clammy feelin' outta my head.

Can you find it in ya to cut me some slack, for once?
