[Gilbert's main focus is keeping an eye on the food, since he made it and feels responsible to ensure that the refreshments stay well-stocked. It also gives him a very convenient excuse to not mingle with any guests who might show up, since he's never been that sociable a person to begin with, but if anyone would care to corner him he'll be around.

Possibly hiding. But around.]

[isntyourfriend]

[During one of Gilbert's attempts to hide, Elliot seeks him out, and when he finds him, it's not a quiet greeting he receives.]

...Gilbert. What are you doing?

[chainedraven]

[Is he upset? Hopefully he isn't upset. It's his birthday, so it's supposed to be a party for him.

Besides, it was Leo's idea, anyway.

Gilbert just frowns back at Elliot and shrugs a little uncertainly.]

...it's your birthday.

[isntyourfriend]

[Silly Gil, that's not why he's here to harass you.]

I asked what you were doing. Right now!

[He wants to hear him say it. He wants to hear him say that he's hiding.]

[isntyourfriend]

[Elliot had the feeling that Gilbert seemed unusually busy today, but he'd tried to ignore it. What does he care what Gilbert does with his free time here? But this was not a typical dinner, that much became apparent fairly quickly.

It's kind of... irritating. Somehow, now that it was his own birthday, he didn't really want anything to do with a celebration. Whose brilliant idea was this? He should punch them.

On the plus side, at least the "guests" are mostly just housemates, so they aren't people that he isn't familiar with. It's the only thing that prevents him from attempting to lock himself up in his room. As such, he can be found... well, around at any time during the afternoon. He has to talk to everyone here, after all!]

[Not only had Gilbert been busy, but the rest of the house had been by and large banned from the kitchen. Gil's willingness to let them all starve (outside of Oz and Jack, for some reason) really should have been a clue, but Elliot had been surprised anyway. At least, Vincent thinks surprise is lurking somewhere beneath the frown.

Ah well. His brother has always had his own special way of scowling at everyone around him. Certainly it's nothing new to Vincent, who finds Elliot actually acting like a proper noble--so long as the definition is limited to "not locked away from everyone in his room," at least. Vincent will take advantage of it regardless, making his way over to Elliot when the younger Nightray is unoccupied.]

Happy birthday, Elliot.

[isntyourfriend]

[Being at the center of attention isn't something Elliot is entirely comfortable with, even if the people here are his friends and family. That's why it's still pretty embarrassing to hear such a comment from his brother, even though it's something he should be expecting, something that could never be avoided in this kind of situation.

Ahh. Birthdays.]

...thanks, Vince.

[You'll have to forgive him if he's not sure what else to say to that, though.]

[forbrotherslove]

[What, you mean Elliot is somehow awkward during social gatherings? Say it isn't so!

Yeah, somehow Vincent expected as much. But he couldn't be more thankful to Gil for putting on this arrangement. As much as he utterly hates this place, it's managed to provide one good thing for them, one opportunity they wouldn't be afforded in their own world.

It's a thought Vincent can't linger on, however. And with Elliot standing there looking awkward--well. Vincent isn't so used to playing the role of older brother, but he has a few ideas.

Starting with reaching a hand out to ruffle Elliot's hair. He'll hate that.]

ohgod I feel so awkward with the non PHness

[After hearing about Elliot's birthday--and the party for it--Yellow decided to come on over! She also brought along her Pikachu, Chuchu, since she follows her around everywhere anyway.

She's mainly just glancing around for Elliot to wish him happy birthday, a sheet of paper in hand with some sort of drawing on it. Totally a birthday present, yep yep. I DUNNO come say hi. Question her drawing. Question the fact that she brought this adorable mouse thing with her. or something. ...Elliot sure has an interesting family. :'|a]

join uuuuussssss

[chainedraven]

[Gilbert was just edging over toward the table to check and see if he needs to go hide in the kitchen make some more food, but he pauses at the sight of the stranger. And the... thing. Animal. Whatever that is.

He realizes he's starting to stare an instant before it would be considered rude and instead blinks, glancing up at the girl uncertainly.]

Is that a pet?

I actually will. one day. maybe. cough.

[moehealer]

[Yellow hadn't actually noticed Gil staring, but once he speaks up, she turns to his direction and smiles.]

Yep! Well, kind of, anyway. If anything, Chuchu's more of a friend to me. [The Pikachu on her shoulder nods.]

8D

[chainedraven]

[That's... uh. What is that. It's intelligent?]

...Chuchu? So, it's, er. Something from your world, then?
