Under normal circumstances, Elfangor would have be paying more attention to surveying the food. And probably would have brought some "special" brownies to sneak in amongst the treats laid out, like he had the last time there had been a party. (The last time Jessica had disappeared.)
But this time felt different. It was just a feeling, really; he had no evidence to base this feeling off of. But his gut still insistently told him that this time it's different, what if she doesn't come back, how will Matt--?
But he forced himself not to think about that. He knew Matt was already thinking about that, and he couldn't stand to add to those oppressive thoughts. No, he needed to be distracted. They both did. That was primarily why he was wearing those pants, and a glance darted to Matt's still-tousled hair (he's certain his must be in a similar state) reaffirmed that he had been successful in that much, and a small smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth
( ... )
Matt, for his part, was trying not to think about J being gone at all, clinging to the hope that, like last time, she'd be back. Knew he was clinging to it, which only made him hang on more tightly.
Having Elfangor close helped, and didn't. Matt didn't want to be needy, but fuck, what if the so-called gods decided to take him away, too?
"I'm really, really crap at dancing."
But he sort of wanted to. Wanted to feel un-self-conscious enough to do it in the first place, which wouldn't be easy.
"I might need another drink or three." He attempts a grin. "But I can try."

Ginko had seen the message about the party the day before... and then promptly forgotten about it. It wasn't like he'd wanted to go to one anyway--parties really weren't his 'thing,' too social and noisy to really appeal to him.
But he'd still been in Mizusato the next day, and had happened to walk by the ryokan about mid-day. The smell of food had drifted past his nose and caused his stomach to growl, and it hadn't taken much more than that to convince him to investigate. And once he realized there was free food...
Well, that pretty much sealed it. Putting some of the food on a plate (and some of the wine in a cup), he found a quiet, out-of-the-way place to sit and enjoy his repast while he watched people mingle, and one or two brave souls use the dance floor.

"I'm a little surprised to see you here, Mushi-man."
Touya couldn't help but tease the man, having gotten the idea that he wasn't the most social of people. He settled himself on a chair beside Ginko, smiling playfully.

Ginko looked over as the younger man sat next to him. "Oh, you know... I was in the area. And you did promise me a meal, the last time we spoke." The hint of a grin hovered around his lips.
He nodded at the mix of people mingling in the room. "A lot of people showed up."
[The food, tables just flowing with food, that is the reason Alice is here at Elliot's little party. There's all kinds, really. Sweet things and tart things and things that look like little cakes and pies...
And all of those are ignored by this little lady, who hasn't strayed very far from the meat end of the table even once. Now, however, she's just standing there, glaring at the table accusingly.]
[Don't mind a long-haired man marching alongside all tables apparently not finding what he's looking for until he ends up not far from said little lady, twitching all over in irritation.]
Fuck the pork and your shitty whining, where is all the goddamn soba?
[Glancing up, she shoots this guys a superior look, because she knows this now. Rin taught her what that word meant. Which means it's up to her to correct this idiot.]
[He actually looks at the girl, one eyebrow raised in a somewhat dumbfounded expression that changes into a frown. Yeah, he might not know what having sex is all about but he's got the idea and, no. Ugh. What is wrong with this world.]

Well damn. Where's the rest of the pork?

It means sex and you can't have sex with meat.

Wrong. It's primarily an expression.

And what do you mean 'an expression'?

[Decides that without even bothering to recall who exactly 'Rin' is. It starts with an R, so does Raikou and NightRay, close enough.]
[Scoff scoff. Here once again he's stuck explaining things to brats.]
It's basically a word that means what you want it to mean. Depends on the situation.

Don't you call Miss Rin-rings that! She's a nice person!

Are there lots if these expressions, Grumps?

Those two things don't have to get in the way of each other.
[Really, he can't say most of the perverts around here are bad people, except for that Vincent guy maybe. Heck, Lavi's one, kind of, even.]
[He is somewhat interested in persecuting the earlier topic as the girl with the temper seems curious about it, though.]
Plenty enough. Differs in strength. 'Damn' is one of them, too, you know.

[She shrugs and grabs a turkey drum, then frowns at the dwindling meat supply.]
I say it all the time to that bastard clown.

[Kanda's almost proud at this point. The wisdom must be delivered to the next generations.]
Literally it means placing a curse on someone, but you don't mean that when you use it.
[SOLEMNLY;]
Same with 'fuck'.
[Very serious expression.]
For example, you say 'fuck it' when something makes your patience run out. Clear and simple.
