We Only Have Tomorrow

[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!]

[ That's not a reference Orpheus gets, but he'll nod along anyway. ]

We have a lot of time to teach ourselves new things here, at least! There's that. I still have to get Maya to try to teach me some of what she knows about singing.

[ At the mention of Maya, Peregrine's mouth twitches a little, because things are awkward between them, but— ]

Yeah, well, something to pass the time, right?

[ Sorry, that discomfort is going straight over his head too. ]

Right! There are so many skilled and talented people here, like her and Maestro Salieri, it'd be a shame not to try to learn from them while I have the chance. This place might be kind of awful? But I really do appreciate everyone here.

[ Girl drama. So weird, right? ]

...Me too. [ Ah, well— that does coax a smile out of her. ] A lot of people I like listening to.

[ Recognizing social cues is not Orpheus "Come Home With Me" Son of Calliope's strong suit, unfortunately. He lights up a little when Peregrine smiles, happy to see it. ]

I'm really glad I've gotten the chance to meet all of you, despite everything. I hope there's some way we can keep in touch after all of this is said and done.
comeandfindme: (make another crack it doesn't matter)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-26 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's fine, not even Peregrine can recognize her own social cues right now. ]

...There better be a way. I don't think I could... [ She catches herself and shakes her head. ] That's for when we're out of here. To focus on then.

[personal profile] themuseabandonsyou 2021-06-26 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. I guess we shouldn't get too far ahead of ourselves.

[ As nice as it is to daydream about the future, when everything's been set right. ]
comeandfindme: (four!)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-26 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Keep our eyes on the prize.

[ Orpheus nods. ]

I still think our best chance is probably finding a way to get Lord Discord's magic back? But it's hard to figure out how to do that, if we don't know how the Wizard sealed it in the first place.

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-27 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
...He can do a lot, can't he? If we could try and understand how the Wizard's...doing any of this. Maybe the Balladeer's got an idea? Mmm...
themuseabandonsyou: (looking down)

[personal profile] themuseabandonsyou 2021-06-27 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
He probably has the best idea out of any of us? Since I think he said he's been through something like this before, and because the Wizard seems to think of this as all as just a show. Who'd know that kind of thinking better than a narrator?

[ Orpheus frowns. ]

I can't think of anything that could seal a being like Lord Discord's power away other than a god, though, and that's... a lot to think about. Gods can be tricked, at least? And it sounds like we'd only need a moment, for him to get us all out of here. But even so...
comeandfindme: (i can't think about them)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-27 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe...he can figure out how to get Discord's powers back. Especially if he knows about all this and...maybe narrators are like gods in this kind of setting? If...we could get him the way to tap into that...

[ The gears in Peregrine's head start to turn as well...but then she looks around at everyone else. Relaxing, enjoying themselves. ]

...But this sounds like talk for tomorrow. Not...for a party.
themuseabandonsyou: (smile)

[personal profile] themuseabandonsyou 2021-06-28 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, we can find a time to meet and talk about all of this again later. Tonight we should just enjoy what Spongebob has put together for all of us.
comeandfindme: (🌨️ i'm giving control up)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-28 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It was…a nice gesture you know? Try and keep morale up.
themuseabandonsyou: (smile)

[personal profile] themuseabandonsyou 2021-06-29 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Right! And it's a good chance for all of us to get to know each other a little better. Speaking of, I'm going to go see how some of the others are doing? But it was nice talking to you. And help yourself to more apples, if you want them.

[ they have so gods damn many ]
comeandfindme: (left! right!)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-29 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah— go right ahead, I'll...make a dent in some of these.
