#and poor death in true eldest sister vibes is the only one presenting a reasonable front

[cuubism]

exactly how and where do the Endless have their family dinners? hosting it in any one of their individual realms seems fraught with power dynamics, that's right out. it has to be on neutral ground. so... the human world then? meeting in a human restaurant would also prevent a fair degree of antics and fighting, as they can't be revealing all their Endless powers to a bunch of random folks.

this is all to say, i invite you to imagine Endless family dinner at Olive Garden.

#the endless #the sandman #listen it would be a BLAST okay #first of all NOBODY is dressed appropriately for the venue #desire looks like they're going to new york fashion week #dream ALSO looks like he's going to new york fashion week but in a completely different way #delirium looks like she's going to burning man. destiny just came from larping lord of the rings #despair may or may not be wearing bedsheets #and poor death in true eldest sister vibes is the only one presenting a reasonable front #destiny ends up ordering for everyone and the server is like uh is that okay? and they're all like yeah that's what we were gonna order :/ #delirium gets bottomless mimosas eventho its a. dinner and b. she looks 16. but no one is willing to stop her #death orders a whole bottle of wine for herself because that's the only way she's getting through this #it takes exactly 1 minute for desire and dream to start sniping at each other #desire *on their 3rd long island ice tea* i bet i can manipulate that guy over there into proposing to his date #dream *dead sober and regretting it* i bet i can make him dream of BREAKING UP WITH HER #(meanwhile the poor guy's having a stroke from these conflicting influences) #desire: well then i bet i can make him SCREAM about how he HATES HER #dream: well *I* bet i can make him STORM OUT OF THE RESTAURANT AND NEVER RETURN #desire: oh yeah you know all about that don't you #dream throws a drink at their face #desire picks up a CHAIR and hurls it back #death wishes she could collect her own life and leave for the sunless lands #delirium is in the corner like: manipulating one guy is easy! i bet i could get someone to burn down the whole restaurant! :D #before they inevitably get kicked out desire shoves 8 servings of breadsticks into their purse #the olive garden may burn down later in a tragic accident #who knows #and that night bizarre numbers of people dream of having shitty family dinner at a mediocre chain restaurant #for reasons unknown!
