you walk into the party, and the party walks away from you

After your sister's birthday dinner, you end up going to a party of her acquaintance.  They tell you beforehand that it will be weird, that they are kind of socially awkward so you'll feel better about yourself.

You agree to go because you wanted to drink and thought socially that would make your wants more acceptable.

You go there and realize that it's just a bunch of people crowded around a television playing N64, so you try to be sociable and go into that room and hang around the other people and watch them play Mario Party.

Then you realize that they are slowly leaving the room, one by one, almost strategically.

You are left in the room with the group you came in with, and you feel somehow responsible.  You decide to pick up the game, and you get beat at Mario Kart.  You hear people in the room right over playing on chairs.

After your game, you go to the room with the chairs and see people tossing a pillow and rolling around.  You try to pretend to get into it.  Then slowly, you realize that they are leaving.

That pattern happens a couple of times, before you leave yourself.

Later on, you think about it, and yes, yes you did put on deodorant.
