[ as soon as motochika makes his presence known, olivia is whipping around to get a look at their new guest...

only to hastily whip back around to hide her suddenly burning face. while it's true that olivia herself wanders around half-naked most of the time, it's still another matter entirely when she accidentally happens upon someone in similar states of undress. especially given that one of the last few times she'd seen a man bare-chested, she'd been accused of being a harlot for it. ]

I-It's nice — nice to meet you, sir—

[ she stumbles over her words, but that isn't nearly as rude as the fact that she has yet to meet the other man's eyes. ]

[dokyuu]

[As far as Motochika can tell, he must doing a real good job of scaring girls lately, which is not exactly the first impression he wanted to make. It hasn't occurred to him yet that his general state of undress might be the real issue.]

Ah, crap. Sorry.

[He scrubs a hand through his hair, looking a little embarrassed, not that Olivia is even looking at him...]

I'm Motochika. Sorry if I startled you.

[Life was hard for a pirate suddenly surrounded by non-pirates, especially when said pirate was actually kind of sensitive.]

[winces]

[ it's the softness of his voice that startles her the most — such a stark contrast to the boisterous greeting he's bestowed on them botch just moments earlier. it's enough to get to her look over despite her own shyness, and by then it's not difficult to see she's made him somewhat embarrassed.

somehow, the notion that something could make someone as large and impressive as motochika embarrassed makes... olivia feel a lot less so.

hastily, she holds up a free hand to wave his uncertainties away. ]

N-No, it was my fault, don't worry! [ she smiles at him, bright and reassuring past the redness of her cheeks. ] I get startled really easily... even a sudden gust of wind can get me jumping, heh!

[ with her hand still in masamune's, she dips into a clumsy but earnest curtsy. ]

It's nice to meet you, Mr. Motochika.

[dokyuu]

Is that so?

[He chuckles a little at her admission--it does make him feel a little better at least.]

Feeling's mutual.

[She's cute and polite, and he has to wonder how she ended up friends with someone Date, but he's not going to ask. He shifts his focus to the table for a moment, eying the food though he doesn't recognize most of it, before looking at Date.]

This is a real party, huh?

[wardance]

[ Shut up, Motochika!! He can be really suave... ok, no, he can't, he's just lucky.

Masamune is quite content with them introducing themselves, giving a confident grin to the other daimyo. ] I throw the best parties! [ For emphasis, he slaps his hand on the table they're all in front of. ]

--This is definitely not one of those! But, I figured it's us, which means it's good enough. We can make up for the rest. Sit, sit. [ Masamune waves them both to sit. ] I guess we can make it like a game since it seems like none of us have any idea what this stuff is, yeah? [ Masamune glances to Olivia now once he's sitting himself. ] have you played these kinds of games before?

[ ... Which is basically a drinking game with food, Welp. ]

[winces]

[ drinking games, she's familiar with. (and had been "strong-armed" into participating in one, once, with basilio's men.) eating games... not so much. ]

Not... really... But I'm a fast learner, I promise!

[ she doesn't really want to ruin the mood, after all. tell her to jump and she'll ask how high! ]

[dokyuu]

[Motochika meanwhile, just laughs and grins and the suggestion]

Every time me and the boys drag something weird up in the nets!

[Because that's what you do with strange sea life, right? Try and eat it?]

Well, this looks like it'll be a little more tame.

[wardance]

Don't worry, we'll teach you. [ these two bros will never exclude anyone ever. And if they would be willing to teach Yukimura how to play, Olivia could have gotten away with probably murder before even exasperating them a little. ]

It's just a matter of all three of us coming up with some rules for it. Should we go with guessing what it'll taste like and whoever's wrong has to do shots?

[winces]

[ a look of utmost DETERMINATION crosses over olivia's face, small hands suddenly balling into fists before her. she's pumped! she can DO THIS! ]

That sounds fine! [ she can definitely do that! ]

i came in like a wreeeecking ball

[naturallywavy]

Pops, give me some more.. I need some more..
<sub>[ A short distance off, a friend of both Masamune and Olivia's seems to be taking advantage of the alcohol here as he is seated at the bar area of the restaurant. He looks kind of miserable, but maybe all of that will change when he makes his way over to the group seated at the table.
The familiar voices catch his interest and he peers up from his most recent glass. Squinting, he recognizes Masamune by the eyepatch, mainly, and Olivia but her pink hair (maybe her thighs too... it's a mystery..)

He stands up quickly, pushing his stool back and making his way over. Sorry, he's going to crash this party. ]</sub>

Oooooi, Party-kun!

_{[ here he is, slamming his hands once on the table to get a good look at Motochika. ]}

I told ya to stop messin' around with weird lookin' guys. Am I gonna have'ta save your ass? Again? Aaa?
_{[ Gin, you didn't really save his ass last time but ...ah.. well. ]}

[dokyuu]

[Olivia's determination is adorable, but the moment is ruined when some fuzzy-headed drunk wanders over and starts staring at him. What the hell.]

Huuuh? Who the hell'er you calling 'weird looking'?

[Because really. Has this dude looked in a mirror lately?]

Oi, Dragon. You know this guy?

[It seems like it, but if not, Motochika will happily eject him from the party.]

[wardance]

[ Olivia and her determination is definitely adorable!

What isn't adorable is the drunk cat that's come on over. Masamune glances between Motochika and Gintoki...

Maybe Gintoki just really has a problem with people with white hair? ]

It's cool. I know him and so does Olivia. [ The next comment is quieter as its's a little more said to himself but well enough audible: ]

Weird-looking? I would have thought you guys might feel a little related or something... my bad.

[ Anyway-- ]

Parfait-tan, what the hell are you doing drinking without me? I thought we went through this last time.

[ More like that's what Gintoki hit Masamune with but what's wrong with tossing it back at him now?

He turns back to Motochika. ]

Shitfaced over here is Gintoki. I would say proper introductions should be later when he's sober, buuuutttttt it's definitely not gonna get much better than this. [ If it's not drunk, surely there's going to be booger-picking (he found that snot you wiped on him last time, you advantage-taking fruitcake!bastard ).

Without skipping much of a beat, Masamune jerks his thumb towards Motochika as he looks back to Gintoki. ]

This is the Ogre of the West Sea and he's bigger than you~; so just sit your drunk ass down.

[ Before something embarrassing happens! ]

[winces]

[ olivia makes a soft squeak of surprise when she sees gintoki slowly make his way over. he doesn't seem to notice her, and so she chooses to remain as quiet as possible, hands folded over her mouth and eyes wide, as if her presence here with two other men is something.. to be ashamed of... ]

[naturallywavy]

Eeeh? Ogre of the West Sea? <sub>You've got that right.

[ idk how seating is arranged but he'll take a seat next to whoever is by the empty chair. He gives Olivia acknowledgement by simply looking at her with half lidded eyes, though his lips seem to curve upward in a grin. He looks like.. he's suddenly enjoying himself now?

Anyway, he instantly helps himself to food without really asking. Masamune's friend is giving off good vibes that Gintoki can surprisingly decipher amount his inebriation, but he'll be the one to judge how he actually feels about this other white haired guy. ]</sub>

Glad your ogre can join us.
None of you look drunk yet.

_{[ help him he's just going for some of the food with his bare hands. ]}

[dokyuu]

[He shoots Masamune a look because he heard that but he's letting it go in the wake of Gintoki's continued bad behavior.]

Oi. Some manners you got. There's a lady here.

[Yup. Getting reprimanded by a pirate.]

We were just getting to that. [He really does need a drink now...]

[winces]

[ olivia lets out a sudden squeak of embarrassment, her hands flying up to wave desperately at the air. ]

N-No lady here! No lady here! J-Just do what you want — pretend I'm not even around!
