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.

Isamu was about to have his hands full. "It's also a spiritual interpretation. Frankenstein creation being imperfect is a commentary on God's imperfection with creation of man and His lack of care about man's suffering and isolation."

Jake would talk into infinity about things like this but he could read the room too and knew the subject was being changed, probably with purpose. "Yes, I designed the costume too but I'm better with blood than fabric."

Meaning a seamstress had undertook turning his art into patterns and a final piece.

Of course, there was no dissuading Isamu from a discussion about books, although Minoru had tried. (The night was young, though. He could catch up with Jake later.)

“In part, yes. However, when Adam requested of God to have a companion in the biblical story, the request was granted. When the monster appealed to Victor, the request was not granted.” Isamu noted. “Man is not isolated in the same fashion. In comparison to God, Victor Frankenstein did not go far enough.”

This was going to turn into a debate for sure.

"God did the same to Adam in the biblical sense. God created Adam a wife, Lilith, then destroyed her for fear that she would not be obedient and create a race that couldn't be controlled so she was thrown out." Jake shook his head. "If Victor would have felt he could control the Bride in his preminitions the way God felt he could control Eve he might have went through it. Of course, when Eve proved to he uncontrollable God sought to destroy her and Adam too just like Viktor."

“Given the immediate horror at the sight of the first creature he created, I would say that it was more than just a lack of control that influenced Victor to stop at one.” Isamu countered. “Unless I am mistaken, the Judeo-Christian God did not recoil in horror at the act of creation. That creation myth states that God made man in his own image - which despite his attempt to create something proportional and aesthetically pleasing, Victor did not manage to replicate.”

He paused for a moment.

“Now, this is not my personal theology, however, I do not recall reading any myths about a Lilith character in the famous Genesis story Shelley is referencing.”
