Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rin was quickly redeeming herself, and he watched the bottle. Did bourbon and whiskey mix? He was too drunk and desperate to care. He gave her a small nod.

Ami swiped a bottle as well- to give to Tori as a present for all the time Ami had stolen from her- and then nodded at Lex.

Fun was not the word Ami would've put on it.

Rin halted the pour as soon as he signaled, her attention back on the bottle itself as she went to fetch a fresh glass and set it up high for him to see her pretend to pour. Clearly watching for an approval.

Rin giddily poured herself quite a bit more than last time, being perfectly careful not to... touch the sides... aha. There. She finally offered to place the bottle back in Melvin's care, right beside his seat.

But now her rapt attention was on her own glass. That deep bitter aroma. That golden hue. Things she loathed not too long ago.. but in this hazy moment seemed almost beautiful. She stole a sip as she swayed, completely out of rhythm to Melvin and Jerry's playing.

As the song came to a close, Jerry caught his breath, beaming at the... now much emptier room.

He sagged.

That had not been the reaction he had been hoping for.

"I uh... guess that's all." He pursed his lips, putting his guitar down.

How come the creatures of Halloween seemed eager to dance and be merry at the drop of a hat, but Hunters were stuck in the mud? It was... disappointing.

Was his playing really that bad?

"You can put the radio back on," He muttered to Harrison, "How much longer til midnight anyway?"

And where had his drink gotten to?

Melvin stopped moving the maraca, set it down on the corner of the keyboard and tapped Jerry on the shoulder. "I think the younger hunters just wanted out. Short attention spans. This isn't exactly a dance floor either. It's too crowded, there's pieces of glass, and there needs to be more smoke machines and lasers I guess. Not exactly a club." It was the last part of helping Jerry Melvin had in him for the night before he picked up his glass, drank, and picked up the bottle, moving over to Rin.

"You better not have gotten Jerry to flag me down like that." Because if so, Rin was in trouble.

The Sun hunter sighed. Almost midnight and people were dropping like flies before even waiting for the count down. "It's alright. I just made a total fool of myself in front of everyone. Nothing new," He mumbled to Ro. Melvin was already gone again before he could say anything. Harrison, Jordan and Rep were all pretty much passing out... and his attempts at making new friends had gone disastrously.

He needed some air. Disappointment still written all over his face, he hefted his guitar, leaving the piano for now, and his drink to head toward the door.
