{ MISSION ORP } From Deus Ex with Love (Exit p.20!)

Dress formally. Seeing as this was the first time a dress code was mentioned, Melvin took it to heart.

Entering the large room, he was dressed in black shoes, belt, slacks, and a dress shirt. He wasn't sure how formally he should go, and wasn't wearing a jacket - as he didn't exactly have one. He did however have plenty of dress shirts that he usually wore under a sweater - which he was devoid of at present and was making him feel a bit exposed. To add to his tension was the reminder that his last social gathering had involved a truth ring and had not gone well for him. He had been avoiding most everyone since.

Not really thrilled, he walked inside and found a place relatively open and stayed there, looking around and hoping Rin would show up soon.

There might have been a small squeak leaving her as she noticed Nevada come over, and she hoped dearly these guys would distract her friend enough that she didn't notice who was missing from said company.

Apparently this was not so.

Nevada got a quick apologetic smile that explained absolutely nothing.

Good thing Dorian had stopped her from going Dory because Disney. "Oh, a Mist? Welcome to the division," she told him with a weak smile after Nevada spoke, taking his hand delicately to give it a shake. "I-It's a little tough at first, but you'll start getting used to it.

"You can call me Stormy," she told all three, effecting a small curtsey to be polite. "Nice to meet you all." Despite the growing level of noise, her voice remained as soft as ever, even moreso with the nervousness coming back up.

Don't boot her out of the group, don't boot her out of the group.

"Mmmn, yeah you did," Gnat commented agreeably. She cast about the room for another possibly (un)willing victim, before spotting a hunter milling against the wall. A blond. She liked blondes, she decided. She may or may not have been thinking about another Sun hunter -

Ahem.

She gave him her best authoritative come hither.

"Ey, I don't remember seein' you around," she purred, grinning. "We could use ya help, mister," she added in her best attempt at a dulcet tone.

"Would you not say," she remarked, gesturing to Jerry with a flourish, "that this right here is a real well put-together kinna man?"

Lucky arrived fashionably late but unfashionably dressed, in the closest thing he had to formal attire - it was quite possibly a nice sweater, once. Shut-ins weren't exactly known for their superior fashion sense...

He made sure to steer clear of the majority of people (especially the division leaders), and wedged himself between Mimsy and a girl who seemed equally out of place in a jumpsuit.

"What he means to say," Ian interjected, slinging an arm around Dorian's shoulders. "is that he's very pleased to meet you. And that we're both Mist men, so you should lead us kindly."

He winked at both of the girls.

Across the room, Gale had watched Stormy with a quiet sort of curiosity, his gaze following her as she stumbled towards the new hunters, the ones he wasn't familiar with. He debated going over to talk to them, acting casual about the whole situation, but his feet wouldn't move properly, and he wasn't entirely certain that Stormy would even want him to be near her.

I hate this, he thought, and Jinhai made a softly reassuring sound in his head. I thought...I don't know what I thought.

<< Patience. >> said Jinhai gently. << Can't force a girl to like you. >>

I know that. I also don't want to force her to do anything, I just... He broke off his thoughts with a frustrated sigh, readjusting his tie for the third time that evening.

I just want to know what's going on so I can figure out things for myself because I don't know anymore.

He found Marcus a few feet away - a thankful distraction.

"Hey."

Aleister's eyes froze when someone was giving him a look.... his brow lofted and slowly he looked around before point to himself and moving over. Rather wary of the whole ordeal, his head tilted as he looked at Jerry, totally was Jerry but just a little more spiff.

Aleister was actually starting to feel under-dressed the more people showed up, dressed up and him in his usual hunter uniform. "I uh had a break for a while..... And sure?" His brows were furrowed unsure of what the woman was trying to accomplish.

"Hello Jerry." His tone said that he was unsure about this whole situation; and he was feeling more awkward penguin by the minute. Why'd he even bother to read his phone agai-- oh right it was from Caelius, that was why.

Jerry tried words again. Those words included "Help I'm being molested" and "Hello Al, there seems to be an impromptu party going on."

What came out of his mouth, though was a strangled sort of tight noise in the back of his throat akin to "Aaaaaaannnnkkkkkkaaaammmmuuuuh."

Mimsy really did not want to participate in any wedging of any sort, even if it was of the awkward avoidance variety. She offered the smallest of waves to Lucky, but still adamantly avoided his gaze, sighing anxiously into the blank space above everyone's heads.

The other girl went ignored, as did everyone else in the room.

Gnat patted the tall Sun hunter on the back perhaps harder than strictly necessary.

"You okay there, Jerry-boy?" To the other hunter, she offered a wry grin. "Name's Natasha, by the way. I don't think I seen you around here before."

Jude was there. He was in something resembling formal wear and he was also standing awkwardly next to someone new.

...He cast them a glance and then just shifted his shoulders from side to side, "...That a new style of formal wear?"

It wasn't snarky as much as it was genuinely curious.

'The other girl' wasn't against being ignored, exactly, but she did feel like she was being joined by those of similar disinterests. When the guy in glasses wedged himself between her and another, she turned to look at him, and then looked away. When a blonde came up to ask them about their off-style, she gave him a non-committal shrug.

"I think the term we're defining here is called hipster." She offered. So far, she didn't think this party was going to be able to handle everything they had to offer. Which was absolute silence.
