Oscar did not catch the message at first, his phone was on his nightstand while he was busy staring at his reflection in his bathroom mirror. At this point in time, the bizarre illness that would overtake Oscar's way of life was only just beginning. He felt unwell, but more so in his head than anywhere else. Everything felt off-kilter, like as if he were living an extremely long dream.

Oscar had been staring at himself for ten minutes, he had not intended to but he had noticed something by chance and was hoping to see it again. He had just finished showering and looked into the mirror by chance, just in time to see something slither beneath the skin of his chest. As Oscar stared, waiting for something similar to happen again, he could not help but feel a tad anxious. Was what he saw real or was he hallucinating? Why would he be hallucinating? Was it because of the MAGMA treatment? Was it what happened at the tree of life? Was it--ugh, the less time thinking about Seismo and his grotesque transformation the better. Oscar's mind grasped at anything he could think of to explain his malaise, but in the end he realized he would not get answers while staring blankly at his reflection.

Oscar got dressed for sleep and sat at the edge of his bed, checking his phone one last time before putting it up to charge. At last he saw Rowan's message, inviting him to join the other beasts for karaoke. The very idea made Oscar shudder. He sent a reply:

Not feeling great, maybe next time.

Oscar put his phone away and settled into bed, ready to put the day behind him. Of course the expectation that he would be allowed to sleep was foolish. His mind raced as his eyes refused to stay closed. His anxiety slowly rose as he watched the darkness of his room. And then he swore--in the corner--he saw an eye blink.

He flipped on his lights, and of course nothing was there. Oscar groaned, angrily grabbing his phone as he sent Rowan a second text.

Scratch that, on my way.

He got dressed for going out and made his way to the address. Before heading to their booth he ordered the strongest drink he could think of and drank it all. The immediate warmth of the alcohol soothed his nerves, hopefully enough to get him through this outing. Anything was better than whatever the fuck was going on at his apartment. Oscar entered their booth in much higher spirits than he expected. Perhaps the sight of his fellow beasts just put him at ease, or the alcohol was working very quickly. Either way, Oscar was ready to make tonight good.

"Hey bitches who's ready to rock the fuck out!?"
