Zack had decided that he wanted to do something for Halloween now that he'd gotten his new costume and being a Spider-Man fan he'd gone for a Spider-Punk costume straight from his comics. He'd gotten it at a local comic store down on the Strip and couldn't wait to show Damien because he knew the Dog didn't have comics or anything fun back in Hunger City. Zack now pleased that he'd arranged a Halloween Party for the band members, their friends and family to attend inside the communal area of the apartments. It was the biggest space and there was a bar all stocked up with spooky drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic alike.
It would be a blast!
There were even spooky snacks with crisps and chips shaped like bats, ghosts and pumpkins. There were even actual pumpkins on a table for those who wished to carve a pumpkin alone or with friends. Zack had tried to make it accessible for all, those who wished to party and get drunk and those who wanted to do non-boozy activities too.
As for costumes---they were optional but preferred.
"Ok, I think that's it. Everyone should be arriving soon."
Zack looking around the room and hoping everyone would like what he had set-up with help from some of the others of course.

Date: 2023-11-15 12:43 am (UTC)"I heard about the chair skateboards with Aarne at the parking garage." That wasn't the only thing Damien had heard about but certainly one he was sad to have missed out on.

Date: 2023-11-15 05:51 pm (UTC)“Don’t judge me too much, but I completely botched my landing on the last shopping cart race. My shirt got caught and when everything went sideways, I couldn’t roll out of it.”
He completely got his bell rung, and was pretty out of it the rest of that night. Needless to say, he got a stern talking to when he dropped into work to be examined for a concussion at three in the morning.

Date: 2023-11-21 02:30 am (UTC)Damien was competitive and couldn't resist. Tom would have had their skin for it had they been caught but Damien had the time of his life racing across the desert.
"I've had some rough landings before." Damien confessed. Some were almost deadly.

Date: 2023-11-21 12:20 pm (UTC)“Street racing? i didn’t know you even knew how to drive.”
Granted, Minoru had only seen the Dogs riding horses, and sometimes other animals, whenever he was in Hunger City.
(no subject)
Date: 2023-11-21 01:16 pm (UTC)And more because Damien was in the program to lead the Ministry. The Dogs would drive but gas was rare and the debris all over the streets was helpful as a barricade. Horses were the best option for them.
"Their plan was for me to take over one of the high ranks." Damien knew that was why he had been treated so badly by the Dogs at first and some of the reason why he was so valuable to Jack.

Date: 2023-11-21 01:34 pm (UTC)“I’ve gotten to do a couple ride-along stunts, but nothing too fancy.” He admitted. “Never any street racing.”
While Minoru almost always opted to walk everywhere (or technically freerun everywhere, let’s be real), he did have a license and did know how to drive. Their car was even in his name. But it was probably good that he didn’t try to take said car to 200mph.

Date: 2023-11-21 02:20 pm (UTC)"With Ollie?" Damien assumed that this was the obvious choice though he could see Aarne, Joe, Rik, or even Rekker getting into some sort of stunt driving.
Damien sighed. "If I was still in the Ministry, I might be in charge of hunting the gangs now." Which was another reason why Damien was so good at his job. He knew all the ins and outs of how the Ministry hunted the gangs, hunted the Dogs.
(no subject)
Date: 2023-11-21 05:43 pm (UTC)Minoru would probably make a good stuntman. Several of the big competitors on American Ninja Warrior worked in that industry.
“Hey, you’re not, though.” He added about the Ministry. “That’s what matters.”
(no subject)
Date: 2024-01-01 08:16 pm (UTC)The three of them were highly competitive, relatively overconfident, and didn't have the best respect for the law. A street race turned car chase was not something Tom was going to let them forget any time soon.
"What matters is I know how the organization works." Damien believed that. "The skills they taught me to hunt the gangs don't go unused." Not in his own world or here.
(no subject)
Date: 2024-01-03 12:18 pm (UTC)Never mind the busted part. Or the danger. Or the legality of said racing. It sounded like a lot of fun, and that was the only thing that crossed his excitable mind.
“They definitely make you a good head of security!”

Date: 2024-01-03 05:37 pm (UTC)"It's easier here to watch over everyone than it is at home." Which was honest. It was nice to be watchful without also having people hunting you down as well.
(no subject)
Date: 2024-01-03 06:07 pm (UTC)He’d been bailed out a couple of times. And probably got off easier than he should have. But he’d seen Tom get pretty angry at folks.

Date: 2024-01-07 02:44 am (UTC)And he'd seen Tom go off on Ziggy and Jack for stealing a car before, with absolutely no hesitation or remorse.
(no subject)
Date: 2024-01-08 04:05 am (UTC)"Robert told me that Rekker and Tom used to fight constantly when they were younger." Damien had still seen the embers of that when Rekker did something that others wouldn't get away with. There was a eye contact stand off between the two older men that Damien wouldn't even get involved in. There was too much heat there.

Date: 2024-01-09 02:00 am (UTC)"I swear, there's been a few time that I wondered if one of them figured out how to shoot lasers out of their eyes or something."
Like Damien, Minoru stayed out of those. And up on the rafters, hanging lights.
(no subject)
Date: 2024-01-09 03:25 am (UTC)"I'd bet my money on Rekker." Damien snorted a laugh. "I've heard Robert has a death stare too." The Dog felt like there was an age that people reached where they could channel the lack of fucks into a truly horrifying gaze.
(no subject)
Date: 2024-01-10 12:47 pm (UTC)He wasn’t sure if Jack still had that ability, or if it was a matter of knowing he had that ability. He didn’t know whether Damien did either. But he knew Ziggy did, and he knew exactly how it felt.
“Now, if Mister Newton were in the stare down… all my money on him. No question!”
(no subject)
Date: 2024-01-11 01:00 am (UTC)Damien didn't even know what abilities he had. There was a discomfort in finding out what the Ministry had really made him for.
"I don't like his ability to appear out of nowhere." Damien got along with Newton but that way he came up on him out of nowhere. Damien's nerves didn't do well with being startled.
(no subject)
Date: 2024-01-11 12:52 pm (UTC)Isamu had been trying to study Anthean empathy for years now, because everyone was apparently compatible - except him. It really bothered him. It kept him up at night. If there was any way to get his brother to break the stupid silent treatment, that was it!
“What do you mean, his mind isn’t compatible? Like, how?”
(no subject)
Date: 2024-01-11 02:38 pm (UTC)"Rekker is angry and suicidal and they're pacifists?" That was Damien's best guess. "I think Rekker's mental health makes him project his emotion and they aren't good ones. I've seen Newton leave the room when he's angry, too."
(no subject)
Date: 2024-01-13 03:28 am (UTC)Maybe it wasn't so different from the Anthean's point of view.
"Can Rekker feel them? Their abilities?"
(no subject)
Date: 2024-01-14 05:33 am (UTC)These were things that the Dog could only speculate on. "Rekker strikes me as someone who would rebel against anything trying to calm him down." Rekker always appeared amped up and tense even when he was happy or that was how Damien interpreted it. "I do know, over the years it has improved. Rekker's control of himself helps. I imagine Bjorn being in the picture does too, sometimes."
