"There's nothing wrong with glasses!" Jerry piped up, a bit belatedly, but was startled from his topping-off of rum in his coke as Melvin spoke. he quickly turned around, holding the seemingly-non-alcoholic beverage against his chest. "Huh? Oh, yeah... um. I didn't mean to annoy people with my playing." He looked a bit dejected, "I like to think I'm pretty good." But not good enough to not be replaced by a boom box when available apparently.
Leon had arrived with more booze- thankfully he wasn't a huge beer drinking, but it was like being in a den of sin. He swallowed, just hoping no one saw him peppering up his coke.
"I mean I could always drag my piano down here again..."

Rin was wandering nearby when the loud blaring metal caught her attention. What was this strange, exotic, music? What was the source? She wandered into the area to investigate... why was everyone here? Christmas was over? She blinked awkwardly at everyone.

"There is nothing wrong with glasses." She agreed with Jerry, though her smile fell when he stressed being annoying with his playing. "I don't find it annoying." Relax, Jerry. Relax.
What did he mean drag his piano down here again? "Jerry..did...did you bring your piano downstairs?"
Even while speaking to Jerry Candace had watched Harrison approach Rep, watching the redhead curiously. Had she gone too far again? He was too touchy, he needed to lighten up. She was about to sit from her drink when she spotted a glint of something on Rep's finger while Harrison was toying with his hand.
Her eyes darted to which hand was on.
Left.
Her expression sobered up quite a bit as she quickly looked to find Harrison's left hand.
A ring.
Jordan?
"Oh. My. God." Candace gasped, putting her cup down again as one hand flew to her mouth, eyes wide and jaw dropped. "Ohhhmy..ohmygodohmygodohmygod!" She squealed and jumped up and down, clapping her hands with excitement as she hurried over to throw her arms around first Harrison and then Jordan in tight hugs. She hesitated with Rep. Touching. No touching.
But.
Ohmygod!
"Really?! Like..reallyreally?!" It wasn't just 'hey let's wear matching rings because it's the cute thing to do', right? Right?!

"I'm not annoyed by it," Jordan seconded. Then Candace noticed. Jordan just smiled.

As Candace promptly started getting excited over something, Jerry blinked from over his plastic cup. "What? What is it?"

Harrison returned the look with a small, private smile of his own, then took a drink.
He nearly choked on it though as he all of a sudden had a very excited Candace around his neck, and then didn't. She hugged Jordan next.
"Wh-what?" he sputtered, wiping his mouth on his sleeve. "What happened?"

Leon listed as Harrison gave the direction and placed the other keg where he indicated. "These two should last for a fair good amount of time." The life trainee reasoned with a nod.
Least, he hoped so, getting another set would be difficult to go unnoticed, unless he picked one up at some place near a frat house somewhere. "Im not bringing your piano down Jerry." he called out, preemptively.
Now it was his turn to stare at Candace and her strangeness.

Rep's fuzzy moment got interrupted by a wild Candace and an outbreak of chaos and yelling. He recoiled as the mist huntress went on a hugging spree, even making him drop into battle stance reflexively as she eyed him with a speculative glint in her eye. He looked set to karate chop her if she tried.
"Someone must have ******** spiked her drink."

Rin was staring a bit more cluelessly. Now she really had no clue what was going on.

Roland had been wandering by, and it was fairly straight forward to understand, New Years, another party. Groups of hunters mingling about listening to rock music. Of course he wandered in happily catching most of Candace's excited outburst, Jordan's smug cat and Jerry looking confused.
So he walked on over and joined the confusion. He had seen Jordan off and on, but he knew that smile anywhere. Someone was up to something.
"Yes, I'm with Jerry, why is Candace squealing like a school girl, and Jordan what have you done you have a face that make's Rep look like a saint right now."

"Even with a bum leg I can still carry it on my own, thank you!" Jerry scoffed to Leon, but nearly choked on his drink when someone mentioned Candace's being spiked. He had no idea what was going on with the trio of eclipse, but the endless Metal on the boombox was putting him on edge. Such negativity.
Internally, Roar grunted. I like it.

Fine. She couldn't hug Rep, so Harrison got a second hug. A longer one. Candace's squealing was a lot more muted now as she just clung to Harrison, swaying side to side with her best friend and making happy noises of approval. Things like 'ohmygod' and 'CONGRATULATIONS' and 'AWESOME' were probably the only things that really came out clear.
Candace gave no ******** if anyone thought her behavior was strange. Ya'll just hatin'.

Melvin really had no idea why Candace just burst into OMGs and raced off to tackle Jordan and Harrison. What he DID know was Candace wasn't touching him, which meant things were good. He was very curious what the commotion was about, and leaned to turn down Metallica just a weeeee bit.
When he settled back into his seat, he waved to Rin. "Hey."

Rin's attention slooooowly shifted to Melvin. The only sane looking thing right now. "Hey... uh... ... what's?..." there was vague pointing at everything.

In response to Ro's question, Jordan lifted his left hand, palm inward, ring clearly visible on the ring finger. Yep. That was why he was smiling and why Candace was pretty much vibrating with excitement.
