Who: Priders! (Basically if you (or your friend, or your dog) has had a positive interaction with anyone from MANTICORE, consider yourself invited, dragged along or sent in someone else's place. And even if you haven't been invited it's totally fine to notice something's going on and show up or  randomly come across this and stay!)
What: Genos and Squalo throw a Solstice dinner party. Italian food for everyone!
When: December 21?ish (forward-dated a bit so it doesn't fall right before irl holidays)
Where: MANTICORE penthouse
Warnings: MANTICORE Squalo, Carnies, language, minors getting drunk, substance abuse, someone might decide to bone, idk.


[ Fuck the creepy shit, MANTICORE are aggressively throwing a Solstice party! Because why not, and who has the patience to wait until New Years? ]

[ There are locations/prompts in toplevels, but feel free to start your own as well. Generic timeline of the night would be: cooking, dinner, socializing with games and booze and possibly other things, and  a movie marathon into the wee hours of the morning for the ones interested.  ]

[He settles in next to Tiger and wipes away his own tears under the sunglasses he's refused to stop wearing.]

I did. It's one of my favorites. I love robots so much, and he cares about people so much and-

["I want to be a robot" seems completely inappropriate here.]

It's definitely my favorite movie.

I think he's okay later...but he didn't know...so it's still really...

[His eyes close and he trails off a little. He's pretty drowsy.]

Did you pick it?

[wounds]

Yeah...

[He looks down at his hands. Still as human as ever, did he get repairs when he was a robot...?]

I did. I picked out all the super hero movies too.

[tigermillionaire]

That's waaaay better than JAWS.

[He snuggles down into the blanket.]

[wounds]

Squalo likes sharks. I think he'd watch anything if a shark was in it.

[Meanwhile Genos only likes movies about good robots.]

[tigermillionaire]

Sharks are okay...they just...they have to do their thing because it's how they are.

[Mumble mumble.]

I just don't wanna see them hurt people. It makes me sad. And then...then the shark blows up too, right? It's awful.

[wounds]

Real sharks tend to leave people alone.

JAWS is pure fiction. Don't take it to heart.

[tigermillionaire]

It's mean. It's unfair to sharks!

[His eyes have been closed for a while, but he's someone clinging to consciousness enough to continue his discourse about sharks.]

[wounds]

It was. A lot of people disliked them just because of that movie.

But they're smarter now. [Mostly.] And they don't go hunting out of hatred.

[tigermillionaire]

Oh...

[He falls silent for a moment, and it seems like he might drift off.]

That's good...

[wounds]

It is.

Sharks don't bother humans so we shouldn't bother them.

[He'll talk in this calm, conversational tone until Tiger falls asleep.]
