Wilford: Please remember that there will be a company-wide New Year's Eve party this evening. And everyone is invited.
Ben: What happens if we decline?
Wilford: I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that, Ben.
Javi: But what if we can't make it?
Wilford: Lets just say as your employer I will be greatly disappointed if you fail to arrive.
Boki: You mean you will cut our pay?
Wilford: Or...other essential things.
Ruth: What will be happening at this event?
Wilford: We dance, we drink champagne, we play a few rounds of Jenga, and then we all kiss at midnight.
Audrey: We...all kiss?
Wilford: Yes.
Jinju: All of us?
Wilford: Yes.
Commander Grey: Like...all at once?
Wilford: Yes, God, am I the only one who's ever been to one of these parties before? We dance with abandon, we drink with gusto, we kiss everyone we can reach at midnight, which is why I would like Audrey on my left, Melanie on my right. And Kevin, if you behave you can--
Melanie: Don't get your hopes up, Joseph. I'm not going to your stupid party.
Wilford: Why not?! Give me one good reason.
Melanie: Because it's not New Year's Eve.
Wilford:...Are you sure?
Ben: Of course, she's sure, you idiot.
Wilford: ...
Wilford: Kevin, what is today's date?
Kevin: January 1st.
Wilford:
Ruth: I'm afraid you missed it, Sir.
Audrey: Better luck next year, Joe.
Javi: Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow, boss, but I've got plans tonight.
Boki: You mean we don't get to go dance and drink and kiss again?
Wilford: Now wait just a minute--what does he mean AGAIN?!
Ben:
Javi:
Boki:
Ruth:
Audrey:
Jinju:
Commander Grey:
Kevin:
Wilford: Melanie?! Did you all have a New Year's Eve Party without me?!
Melanie: ...maybe.
Wilford: How could you?!
Melanie: Very easily since you don't even know how to read a calendar.
*Bonus*
Wilford: I'm going to take Jupiter and have my own Night After New Year's Eve Party.
Kevin: Why don't you just call it a New Year's Party, Sir? It's still a special night, the first night of the new year--well, I guess technically it's the first full night of the new year because last night was the first night. Starting at midnight. You know, when you usually stay up to greet the new year--
Wilford: Oh, shut up! My party is gonna be so much better than yours!
Melanie: I doubt that. The Headwoods hosted.
Wilford: What does that even mean?!
Ben: It means we all got high, you moron. And we put glitter and nitro-glycerin in a bunch of beakers and drank it with some railmans ale. And Audrey taught us all how to dance to a song called Cotton-Eyed Joe. And then we played Twister for four hours while the Headwoods went around poking us with scalpels and sticking cotton swabs in our mouths asking for DNA.
Boki: It was amazing.
Jinju: They served charred kale. I love charred kale.
Audrey: I liked the part where we got to experiment on each other.
Javi: I didn't. They said they'd run out of buccal swabs.
Commander Grey: What kind did they use on you then? I don't remember much after the fireworks came out of the cake--
Ruth: I rather enjoyed that bit myself. I always like a good sparkler or two.
Boki: And the song! I love it when we sing that song!
Wilford: Just stop! I've heard enough. Come on Jupiter. We don't need these traitors.
Melanie: I think my favorite part was the balloons. And watching Jupiter chase them. All. Night. Long.
Wilford: *anguished scream* NNNNOOOOOO!

Mel/Ruth, Ruth/Boki, Mel/Wilford, and Mel/Layton for the ship thing
Mel/Ruth
What made you ship it?
Tldr finding melruth fic and then rewatching the show through that lens. Excuse to wear your furs caught me by the throat and then the See You Around scene captured my soul and I've been unwell for them ever since.
What are your favorite things about the ship?
I am in love with them both. Lesbians sapphics. So much angst potential. Flirting hours. PINING. Being toxic for each other and yet still being each others best options because canon boyfriends don't do it for Ruthie.
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
It's real *glares at @gohoubi*
Ruth/Boki
What made you ship it?
@cinnamontea put the idea in my head and it stuck around like a bad smell. We both fic'd it. Now I can't get over it because they're both broken little babies ❤️
What are your favorite things about the ship?
Size difference, scars inside vs out, enemies to friends to lovers potential. Boki calling her Rushenka. Ruth has two hands potential 👀
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
infinitely more palatable than Ruth/Roche. Also, Boki needs to die because Curse.
Mel/Wilford
Why don’t you ship it?
It makes me feel a bit queasy. I absolutely see potential there but it's not a comfortable ship and I get a bit squicked out both about the idea of them being married and/or there still being romance there.
What would have made you like it?
If they'd been business partners and not businessman and his teenage ingenue. If Wilford wasn't Sean Bean.
Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?
The fics about it absolutely slap once I get past the icky feeling.
Mel/Layton
Why don’t you ship it?
I prefer to forget Layton exists. Also idk the time frame seems sketchy to me but that applies to their friendship / mutual respect too.
What would have made you like it?
If it had been overtly canon (in the way melben is) then I coulda maybe got behind it because JC and DD could be hot not gonna lie.
Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?
The fics slap, especially the anon ones 👀. I do like the whole hatefucking vibe. Also @onetrainsnowpiercer's screencaps do make it more plausible so I can maybe be convinced.
Thanks for asking ❤️

"Is it innovative and revolutionary? No, but during that half hour it creates there for you a place so cozy, so comforting"
Chuck/Sam
"But it is a trap, and again and again I fall into it."
Sam/Castiel
"It turns into a very beautiful thing, very full of honest, genuine, sincere feeling."
