sleepover sleepover SLEEPOVER
[ With the handful of new Executors awakening after the first batch, Rei's starting to get a little bit dithery. They're getting to be a big group now and while she's more than grateful for the help (and the company), she still finds herself worried about the group's cohesion. After all, Lion had admitted that he'd lashed out when he'd first awakened, Kingslayer and Pariah were at each other's throats and Iris wasn't even sure she wanted to be here at all.
Not that Rei could blame her.
But if they're going to be a team, then they at least need to be civil with each other. And getting in a bit of bonding before they have to go down and potentially double-die couldn't hurt.
So Rei borrows one of the hotel suites – a 'luxury' suite, according to the receptionist but to Rei's eyes, it just looks tacky as all get out. But it's big enough for the whole group and after spending an afternoon dragging in all the blankets she can find (and a few mattresses – thank god there aren't any other actual guests here to complain about her pillaging their rooms), Rei makes one final trip to the conbini to get... pretty much everything she can carry. Alcohol is right out (sorry, wine grandpa) but she brings back bulging bags of sodas, sweet drinks of all kinds and pretty much anything that looks made to be chugged. After that comes everything vaguely snack and candy-like in the store and a few things that might not actually be good to eat, and Rei feels confident in saying she's done.
She'd mentioned to a few of the others that she was having a bit of a get together that night, so all she can really do is wait for them to show up. She's in her pajamas, she's looked up sleepover games in the library and snacks, there's a TV mounted on the wall and she has... never held a sleepover before.
This is gonna turn out just fine. ]

...Well, if nothing else, there's canned coffee. He approaches the table and picks one up, pops it open, and takes a swig of it.]
.........
[It's not great. He isn't sure what he expected.]
Would anyone like this?
[He doesn't know whether or not this is the most disappointed he's ever been in his life but it sure feels that way.]
no subject
no subject
[He may not remember all the facts informing his opinions about coffee but they are still very strong.]
Are you going to take it or not?
[He holds the can out. There's literally nothing stopping him from just throwing in the trash except that he really doesn't feel like doing it, so that means trying to foist it off on His Majesty.]
no subject
Yep, that's going right down the drain.]
You're right, there's something, ah, off about it.
no subject
I'm not sure what I expected from these...contraptions, anyway...
[It had been something of a struggle to figure out how to open the can in the first place. He mostly just watched other people do it until he figured it out.]
...I'm not sure what any of these other things are, either. Do you know what "carbonated" means?
[He lives in a world where fidget spinners, giant robots, and bubble tea exist but not soda, somehow.]

[ It's your hostess with the mostest (citation required) here to fuss fuss fuss. ]
I'm so sorry! It's a bit of a gamble getting anything from the conbini at the best of times.
no subject
[Oh no, he kind of feels bad when he sees her fussing?! He sort of makes a face between apologetic and grimacing.]
No, you don't have to apologize—you went out of your way for our sake, after all.
[And even if the coffee's bad that doesn't mean his attitude should be...at least that's what he's telling himself.]
...Truthfully, now that I have you here, might I confess something to you? I have no idea what to do. At parties, I mean.
[Please Help Him.]
no subject
Oh no, I have no idea either. I don't remember the first thing about parties. I had to go to the library and look around to get an idea of what to do just for this one.
There were a few games, too, like truth or dare and things like that but I didn't think we'd get very far with them.
