Shout At The Devil! [Halloween Party] Band members and friends invited

[bangingthe_hellouttayou]

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.

Rik bit his lip as he listened to the back and forth. "Uh.. I don't think you have to change it but.. um.. if.. if you stick around then maybe talk to him."

Sooner rather than later was left unspoken for the moment. Rik wondered if it would be easier or harder on Damien for someone else to bring up this band's stage persona first. Who knew? Zack might.

"Maybe talk to Tom or Zack." Rik thought it over and then nodded, mostly to himself. "Zack could help, I think."

"Thanks for the heads up." Jay answered.

They definitely wanted to stick around. Also, Tom was one of the people Dee most wanted to run into, after everything he'd heard at the City Charms show. So he made a note to ask him that too if he got the chance.

Rik nodded. "If you're around long enough, you'll learn everyone's soft spots."

For the most part, everyone watched for those things that really bothered people, or at least tread lightly with those topics. It took time. There were arguments sometimes but most of the musicians were forgiving enough that it didn't last long. Rik would be happy to continue to talk to them both, or go back to work if they wanted to wander off and meet others.

While Jay could, and probably would, stick around and talk shop about all the musical instruments, Dee had a growing list of people he wanted the chance to meet.

The night was young, and he was determined to make the most of it.

(And sitting down for a while in here really helped too.)
