    Block Party Rules: All are welcome. You can leave one location and move to another, but please keep it real and don't just jump out of one and into a current conversation in another.


    Club Avalon: a staple of Sacramento for nearly two decades now, where the DJ fills the dance floor and the bartenders fill glasses. The floor is filled, and the upper level balconies are beginning to. The lights are dimmed and cotton pulls for spiderwebs are everywhere. Jack-o-lanterns litter every available space and plastic bats and skeletons hang from the ceiling. Granted, it's cheesy, but the costumed guests are the real scenery.

    Tonight, celebrating Halloween with a four club block party, the line is long -- the promise of free drinks guarantees a good crowd. The doorman filters out those that aren't in costume, although more than one pretty lady in a short skirt gets by as a 'hooker'.

    Upon entering, a wristband is given, giving access to Avalon, Asylum, and Reverence. A simple hole puncher marks off the free drinks.

    Chief had said at the Poker game that he'd attended the Halloween Block Party this year and so when the night of the 31st came he was ready to celebrate.

    He'd had a little difficulty finding a costume he liked, but when it finally came to him, one night as he sat on the roof of his apartment building drinking a beer, he couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought.

    A bit of shopping and f'nangling later he shows up to the Avalon, the primary party Club on Sacramento's main drag, dressed in black slacks and matching tailcoat. The coat lay open and beneath it Chief wore a green - one might even say emerald - vest over a white shirt and, around his neck a thick black ribbon, tied into a bow. A thick, gold-colored can be seen emerging from one of the pockets on the vest - implying the presence of a pocketwatch. He held in his hand an emerald green top-hat and his graying hair was combed back across his scalp and secured there with a little bit of hair product he'd bought for just this occasion.

    Looking at him one gets the impression that they know the character from somewhere, but they can't just put their finger on it. Then it hits them.

    Chief is dressed as...

    Upon entering the club Chief graciously accepts his wristband and, planting the green top-hat firmly on his head, goes off to get a drink for his hand. Meanwhile he stays near the entrance to check out what kind of other costumes walk in, and to see if he can recognize anyone.

    Animus arrives not long after, passing through the line readily enough in his wolf-getup. For one who so often wore his emotions plainly, perhaps it was no surprise that he had gravitated toward a costume so close to his inner self. And yet, weight of social custom was such that any who didn't know him would take it at face value. Just a costume, a mask.

    Mask. Anymore, the Thyrsus was beginning to feel like he was always wearing a mask, trying to pretend to pleasures or joys that he was becoming increasingly unable to feel. He soaks in the atmosphere of the club, taking small comfort in the press of people, of so many consciousnesses, but it was no replacement for the bonds of mutual trust that he needed so badly.

    For now, there is little to do but wait. Josh and Ruby should arrive shortly. Friends, once Cabal-mates. Maybe again, in time. And then, perhaps, he could begin to heal.

    Akroma had thought a long time about what to wear. But when she ended with the idea of a witch costume... she found out there were hundreds of them. But, my first night out in town, better be the sexy witch than the old ugly witch.

    When she arrives at Avalon and receives the writsband she smiles, more clubs! More fun!

    She let her glance go over the place, and decided it looked awesome. She wandered around a bit while she thought about someting. How about my name? Maybe I should have another fake name? Well, let's see how the first one reacts, maybe it is acceptable at a Halloween Party to have a crazy name.
    Again she felt unexperienced. With a sigh she made clear she could really use a good party!

    The Avalon. She'd heard of it before, of course. It seemed that if you lived in Sacramento you practically had to be a recluse not to. And that was one thing she'd never been accused of being. She'd never taken the time to visit it, though, until tonight. The Halloween Block Party did just seem to be the perfect excuse.

    Waiting in line, though, was cold; given the cool night air and her choice of costume. And she briefly toyed with the idea of using a spell to make her body unaffected by the chill in the air. But that would be a frivolous use of magic. Besides, she didn't have too much longer to wait anyway. And sure enough, it wasn't long before the new age witch clad in the garb of ancient divinity strode into the club proper.

    Abeona stepped out of the cab and handed the driver his money. There was a small tip. very small.
    Next time, try and watch the road.
    She initially though it was funny to dress as a sexy schoolgirl, but was quickly becoming aware that this might not have been a good idea.

    Oh god please let the university students who will see me tonight forget.

    She stepped into the club and went straight for the bar. She had just started breaking her lifelong patterns to chat with random people, but she felt a few drinks would help lift her spirits.

    "Apple Martini please." as she laid a 20 on the counter.

    Al-Adin bounds into Avalon, his face in a bright and cheerful smile, his costume extravagant in its color choices, though cheap in its material.

    He spots Andrew and heads over to him, singing as he makes his way, completely in his own world as he ignores the beat boxing hip hop blaring from the speakers. "Nooooooooooooow here is a riddle, to guess if you can sing the bells of Notre Dame. Who is the Monster and who is the Man? Sing the bells bells bells bellls bellls bellls bells bells bells bells of Notre Daaaaaaaame!"
    Its obvious that he's been singing for some time, as his throat sounds a touch hoarse, though the coke in his hand looks to be working on fixing that.

    Oh, he hoped this was a good idea. The last time all three had been together, it hadn't ended well. Hopefully there would be enough distractions tonight to prevent a repeat incident.

    Before Joshua got into the club he had to finish his costume; the outfit and makeup were no problem but he couldn't drive with those things on. He put on the black gloves; next, with care, went the armature with the prop blades and the mannequin hands. The knives were real enough but had been ground down, dulled until they were just for show, and several were zip-tied together for peace bonding.

    He fervently hoped he wouldn't run into anyone dressed like Anthony Michael Hall.

    Thomas decided to hit Avalon first, it was the club he was most familiar with and he hoped to run into someone he knew there. As for his costume, well the Mekhet had thought long and hard about this one question and one night while doing a little work it suddenly hit him. Seriously what the heck else would a guy who made a living as a freelance paranormal writer / investigator go out for Halloween as?

    Ruby turns bright red as the bouncer is fast losing his patience. Half tripped and held tight by twelve hoops that won't squeeze and a frill caught on a door hinge, and Herbert is just making things worse.

    Plucking at her dress, trying to get her loose, but terrified to violate the 'bubble' so early in.

    Murmers of discontent from the line grow into heckling and Ruby is realizing more and more that this was a terrible idea. *riiiiiip*.

    Appalled and relieved, Ruby leaves the small floral scrap behind, considering it the cost of war.

    Herbert isn't sure whether to pick it up, but shuffles quickly to catch up. Finally, squeezing behind her into the packed room he laughs. She laughs with him.

    It's such a nice almost.
