La Squadra - New Year's Eve edition

Chances are, no one in La Squadra's team really has the time to fully prepare for new year's eve due to them having a busy schedule. However, going to a nice, classy restaurant would be their type. But this year, Risotto allowed his team a few days break to celebrate, which means they all decided to stay at the hideout and prepare the festivities.

Warnings : alcohol mention!

P.S. : Sorry if this is unimaginative, I don't feel like it's my best. I started writing it a few days ago but had to finish it today. At least it's not into my drafts anymore! Hope you'll like it nevertheless.

Prosciutto is the first to wake up on the morning of 31st december. He WILL wake up with a dramatic gasp and will immediately get ready for his rest -but not so much- day. He likes to have everything ready for the night and will not tolerate the team messing around. He does however, pass through almost every room to tell them to wake up, that they need to get ready for the night.

He aggressively prepares breakfast as well, eats it while reading the papernews and then, straight to the cleaning. He actually is so implicated in the task that he doesn't realize how loud he's being, like moms who thump the vacuum all over the corners, and energetically rub the windows. Prosciutto simply ends up waking up the entire hideout.

Once they're fully awake, Melone, Formaggio and Risotto will join the poor man to help him hang the decorations. Melone insists for placing as much of it as they can, because it's not an ordinary day ! Ghiaccio, who hates being woken up in such a hurry, will be grumpy for the rest of the day and chances are, you won't see him come out of his room except to refill his cup of latte.

This evening, you all start with some appetizers. Prosciutto is the one who cooked the most. Melone and Illuso bring all the junkfood that isn't yet on the table, including all varieties of chips, to Risotto's happiness who likes to taste every single bag of chips before dinner. He truly is a lover of those, even often indulging in them on his own. Formaggio and him are great competitors in that matter, which unnerves Prosciutto so greatly, because he would never buy chips for such an event, and considers those a lack of taste. However, once he's had a bit of wine in his system, he won't be too much of a bother about it, you'll even find him stealing the bag of salt and vinegar chips for his own satisfaction.

While the main course is cooking, someone will put on music, or you can bet Melone is the first one to throw himself on the dancefloor. He's already quite in the mood and will not hesitate to pull you with him. Pesci sits awkwardly while watching some of the others starting to get into the dance, but cannot resist your invitation to join when you give him your hand. Ghiaccio scoffs when proposed to dance, and regularly leaves the table to check on his chocolate lava cakes in the oven.

As the clock approaches midnight, you can bet the party gets even more lively. Some are keen on champagne and wine, others have sugar highs from sodas. Prosciutto has thrown his apron across the table and yells to whoever listen a story from his childhood, eyes glistening and face red from the wine. Illuso absentmindedly scrolls through the playlist Melone and Pesci created, trying to find at least one good ridiculous song to make Risotto dance to.

The cake is delicious but careful with the chocolates though... Formaggio bought an entire box of cheap ones molded like bears but mixed them with those disgusting ones filled with liquor. It was Illuso's idea. If you don't drink alcohol, you'll simply get the onion covered in chocolate, no big deal ! But if you do, they'll be pleased to watch your face skrunkle in shock when you bite into those! Prosciutto doesn't realize the chocolates are different. He just carries on telling his silly story while eating them. Risotto is too far gone on the dancefloor, as Pesci succeeded to drag him in. It's the only time of the year you will see him get so loose.

Good thing that Ghiaccio set a timer beforehand, because the atmosphere is almost too chaotic and not one of them would have noticed that it was finally midnight. Melone and Formaggio are going to get very loud and sing at high-volume while some others applaud or cheer for the new year. Who will take the second place next to you on the couch to pass out from exhaustion? It's up to you!
