From 8PM onward -- OPEN (By all means, bug him endlessly!)

[Hitsugaya isn't quite sure how he got railroaded into coming here. Yes, Elaine had invited him personally -- when Matsumoto had still been here, damn it -- but that was hardly a guarantee of his attendance. But then there had been the conversation with Maya yesterday that had begun with him telling her to stay in bed until she felt better and then somehow ended with him promising to do something for Halloween.

[He may not understand how it got to that point, but a promise is a promise. But something he hadn't promised was a costume, and thus he is dressed normally. Because he doesn't see the point in dressing up like an idiot. Some things are just over the line for him, even if being costume-free here makes him look more conspicuous

[deathknellgrell]

And who're you supposed to be?

[ Grell had bought an extremely skimpy, pink kitty cat costume for this affair. But Will had nixed it (at least for wearing outside of their flat!), so Grell has made do with a short skirt, a basket, and a red hood. ]

Hmmm, let me guess!

[ He makes a show of thinking... ]

I know!

You're an INSUFFERABLE BORE!

[icy_heavens]

[If he knew about that, Hitsugaya would have to thank William for sparing everyone's eyes the horror. Even so, Grell coming up and speaking to him already has him regretting that he attended.]

Good for you. And seeing as you find me so insufferable, you'd probably find it more enjoyable to stop speaking with me. [Hint: Go. Away.]

[deathknellgrell]

No doubt~!

[ Grell bends over, ostensibly to speak to Hitsugaya - but really to show off his bright red, frilly panties, under his skirt. ]

But the question remains - what're you doing here at all? Aren't you far too ~serious~ for this sort of affair?

[icy_heavens]

[Well no matter the reason, the bending over offends him. Because it's unnecessary to bend over to talk to him, damn it. He is not a child!]

[His expression is characteristically unamused.] I promised a friend. [Yes Grell, the insufferable bore has friends, if you can believe it.]

[deathknellgrell]

Don't believe you~♪

[ RUFFLES Hitsugaya's hair! ]

No one could possibly stand to be your friend~!

[icy_heavens]

[Smacks that hand away so hard.] If you don't want to believe the truth, that's your own problem.

[deathknellgrell]

Fine.

Perhaps you've got imaginary friends. That's normal enough - for a CHILD!

[icy_heavens]

[Okay, that sure as hell brings out the scowl.] Any friends I have are not imaginary. The fact that you and I can't stand each other has no bearing on how I relate to other people.

I'm also not a child, as you should be well aware by now.

[deathknellgrell]

Well, well.

I suppose there will always be kind souls to ~take pity~ on you.

Poor devils, I always did hate viewing their cinematic records. Such generous, kind people, who felt compelled to tolerate the most ~insufferable~ people!

[icy_heavens]

[If Elaine weren't one of those friends that he's mentioned, Hitsugaya might have done something drastic at this point. Because you just don't dump on people he actually cares about.]

No one is taking pity on me.

[deathknellgrell]

You're standing about, scowling. Making no effort to have a good time. People like you drag a party down.

So it ~must~ have been out of pity that you were invited.

[icy_heavens]

I wasn't scowling until you started talking to me. [And this is true. He was looking alternately apathetic and dubious before, but those are different from scowling.] And I don't seem to be infringing on anyone's enjoyment. Except maybe yours, but that can be remedied by you leaving me alone to do whatever else you want.

this is my only costume icon, the rest would be your imagination :P

[forgingtorch]

Hitsugaya.

[Elaine Belloc greets him warmly, approaching him after she spotted him in the crowd. Even if she didn't stand out, she would still effortlessly find him. Nobody can truly hide from her.

She notices that he attended alone. She doesn't bring that up, instead she offers her hand.]

Would you like to dance with your host?

[icy_heavens]

[Well, it's not like he's trying to hide, anyway. And had Matsumoto been here, it wouldn't so much have been that he'd come with her as that she'd have dragged him along behind her. That's completely different.]

[He blinks at Elaine for a few seconds, not recognizing her at first, until her voice gives it away. And then he blinks at her hand.]

I don't dance. [He really, really doesn't, and you can't make him.]

i'll be slow because so much to tag ;;

[athermercy]

[Her hand feels like a hand. Weights like a hand. Because she wants to. It could feel like space if she decides she want to unnerve people. She doesn't though.

Elaine's too thoughtful for that.]

Can't you?

[Real men dance.]
