We Only Have Tomorrow

[employeeoftheyear]

[True to his word, on 6pm Thursday Spongebob has the party at the library set up and ready to go! It's filled with cute handmade decorations, snacks, and cobbled together games! Even with all the help he accepted, it's very clear that this was a passion project for Spongebob.

Taped around the library is a set of rules, and frankly there were a Lot of rule fliers around the library.]

RULES
1. Bring your own food and games! The more fun the better!
2. Stay as long as you want! We can make it a sleepover!
3. ABSOLUTELY NO MURDERING
4. Have fun! 💗💗💗💗💗

[Luckily for those who are aware of the cartoon, the party doesn't seem nearly as micromanaged as it could have been mostly because this party is more in a desperate attempt to keep everyone alive than anything else so have as much fun as you can before tomorrow!]

Nail Polish

[violentenvies]

[Hmm??? Salieri glances at his own nails--also painted black, but perhaps chipping in a couple places]

I suppose I could do with a touch up, if you don't mind.

[yourattention]

I feel like, because we’re having goth solidarity hours right now, I should ask if you want me to get fancy about it. I got sparkles.

[He holds up one of the glitter toppers he has sitting in front of him. C’mon, Salieri. You know you want sparkly nails.]

[violentenvies]

[Salieri blinks at that, eyeing the sparkly bottle]

...I'm not entirely sure what the Goths have to do with it, but I shall take your word for it.

Though, appropriately, as they say: when in Rome. [he arches an eyebrow, smirking like he's just said something really funny.]

[yourattention]

[He huffs an amused breath before motioning for Salieri's hand.]

Not Goth like Visigoth. Goth like "I wear black, my eyeliner is always on point, and I listen to Bauhaus." [A beat.] Bauhaus is a band when I'm from.

[violentenvies]

[he'll hold out his right hand, then, resting the other in his lap, contemplating that]

...interesting. What sort of music is this..."Bauhaus"?

[yourattention]

[Something musical and rhythmic starts up as Connor carefully touches up Salieri's manicure. Then:]

White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead

[This is the only Bauhaus song he knows off the top of his head, actually.]

[violentenvies]

[Salieri listens to that, curious. It almost sounds a bit like chanting, what with the way the melody doesn't seem to move that much and the alternating rhythms]

That is...certainly interesting. It sounds different than anything I've heard before, however...there are some familiar elements. Closer to that of folk music.
