Happy Halloween! [Hyvää pyhäinpäivää!]

[hullu_kitaristi]

Time to party! Niko is happy it's finally Halloween and he's put on a party at Jake's house for everyone to attend, decking out Jake's apartment in Halloween decorations, making it even more gothic and spooky than usual. Why not have a party at a vampire's house while travelling on tour? It would be fun. Niko had help from some of the other musicians and wanted to surprise Jake with his special costume which he got from a decent store. The Finn dressed in a rather fetching Viking wolf costume which he hoped Jake would like.

There is party food, drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, cakes, sweets and small trick or treat bags for people to take away food if they wanted back to the tour buses.

"Hyvää pyhäinpäivää!"

That translated into "Happy Halloween for the non Finnish speakers.

"Happy Halloween!"

Traditionally, Niko's country celebrated All Saint's Day by lighting candles and remembering the dead that way. Yet, he was here in America and wanted to join in with the customs of many of the others, including dressing up and having a party. As well as food, drink and costumes there is also pumpkin carving available outside the apartment with the pumpkins lined up for people to have a go at.

"Everyone is free to have food, booze, carve pumpkins, party and have fun!"

He had heard that Bjorn had hosted the last Halloween party in LA and this one would be even better, now that there were more people.

Comments

Jake, Davy, Andy, Jan, and Lex....and Corey

[unholyterror]

Jake had been surprised by the decorations in the living room and then encouraged them to go out and decorate the courtyard he shared with the other apartments. No one in the other apartments would mind. He put Mina and Renfield in the bedroom and closed the door so they wouldn't accidently get out into the courtyard.

Jake of course was fully decked out in full vampire clothing. He ensured there was wine and a wide range of foods, most were out in the courtyard since his kitchen was so small. Andy had brought the wine and Jan who was wearing cat ears, thanks to Jake. Lex was around, not in a costume, because he was a stick in the mud. Jake would find time to harass him. Davy also showed up with sweets and his cousin Corey. Jake hadn't seen Corey in years, not since Davy's dad had abandoned the family but now he was old enough to get away from that side of the family. Anyone who looked at Corey though would know immediately who he was related to.

Gunnar;

[sangens_makt]

Gunnar knew his brother had set him up and was now dressed in what looked like some sort of fetish lion suit. Of course he'd gone out and bought it in some dodgy LA sex shop or wherever. The singer just laughed and put the whole thing on hoping he didn't look completely stupid. What would everyone at the party think? What would Lex think?

"I look a fool in this."

The big Swede now making himself a drink at the mini bar trying not to draw too much attention to himself. It was the tight fucking trunks that were tighter then he'd liked.

Ralph arriving into the party as a caveman;

[wandering_woodsman]

Ralph was pretty fucking lost at this point. He'd gotten the invite to the Ziggy Stardust tour, hopped off the plane and had around 4 hours sleep and gotten into a taxi to arrive here. Was this...Jake's? Zack was a little vague about the venue as he'd called it a "spooky vampire house" in his message.

"Well, I'm here now. Fuck it."

The man was dressed in a caveman costume because he'd picked it up on the way from the airport and made a dash into town to buy something. It did show off his muscles and scars from where tree branches had raked against his skin.

Dee and Jay

[willoftheblackbird]

It felt good to be back in LA, to check on things before the Canada dates started up. Last year, Dee and Jay come to this party dressed in their Kuro costumes, mainly to network and hand out as many demos as possible. This year, they came as fellow musicians and friends.

Tonight, Jay looked like a very dapper gent - top hat, an elaborate tux with coattails, and makeup that made his face look a little like a skull.

His costume didn't make much sense on its own until Dee sat down in his lap.

The singer was dressed formally too - well pressed slacks, a corset vest and bowtie, and his face painted up like a creepy doll.

Jay slid his hand up the back of Dee's vest. "Knock! Knock!"

Dee turned his head with a jerk. "Who’s there?"

"Says."

"Says who?"

"Says me, that’s who!"

Re: Dee and Jay

[alskar_musik]

"Hej, boys!"

Johan now coming over to see both Dee and Jay who were a ventriloquist and his dummy by the looks of things. Very good indeed! The Kuro guitarist had come as, guess what everyone?...a TIGER!

"A RWWARR! to you too."

The Swede laughed and loved how everyone was making an effort with their costumes.

[lynoprorer]

Ansgar had finally gotten Jake to make him a mask. he thought he might be able to wear while drumming. He was trying it out tonight. He was wearing one of his long tunics because it felt like they went well together.

"You better stay away from Aarne, Mikkel and a few of the others." Ansgar stated as he approached the couple. "Animated dolls are a big part of superstition for some here."

The Sterlings + Tom

[rage_rekker]

Rekker was the only one in the group in a good mood. He was in an amazing mood and laughing despite his lack of costume. A few days ago, Rekker and the others had gotten into a poker game that got intense. Rekker had told them he was going to get two full houses in the night. The slightly drunk, older Sterlings had bet him that he couldn't. Well, they had said he could ask anything he wanted if he was right... and of course Rekker was right. He had gotten two full houses and now Tom, Robert and Martyn were all arriving in their military uniforms. Tom had been collateral damage. It was his brothers he was after and now... now all he had to do was wait for Tordis and Erik to notice. Tom was realizing what was going down and started to laugh too. Rekker was a hellion, even when he seemed innocent.

Erik and Tordis;

[yngsta_stjarnan]

Erik had help from Tordis to make his costume which involved lots and lots of strips of white fabric. He'd come to the party as an Egyptian mummy while Tordis himself had come as a unicorn. Both costumes were pretty well made and Erik couldn't help but giggle as he tried to see through the fabric strips covering his eyes.

"You look good. How about some perfume on your costume?"

Tordis giggling as he sprayed himself with some floral perfume, moving to spray Erik, but the boy was fast and dodged out of the way.

"No, that's for you! Martyn will like that. Come on, let's get to the party."

Erik now tugging onto Tordis, managing not to trip up on his mummy feet, gettin to Jake's and wanting to mingle with everyone else. It was then both boys set upon the sight of Robert and Martyn wearing their military uniforms. They looked so hot! Tordis and Erik both went wide-eyed.

[willoftheblackbird]

Dee came around to where Rekker was and took a seat next to him. The older man was grinning like mad, and he just had to ask, "what's so funny?"

Bjorn and Hans;

[metallhuvud]

Bjorn couldn't decide if he should come as trashy whore like usual or pick something a little more---cute? Hans had already picked out his costume and had come as a rather slutty pirate. It was the only costume left in the store and Hans had to wear something so---here he was. Bjorn had spent over half an hour laughing at his brother once he'd seen how fucking whorish it looked. Oh yeah, Ollie would love it he said. Hans just rolled his eyes and pulled it all on.

Bjorn had decided, after about two whole hours in the store, that he'd come as a cute Carebear for Rekker. It still showed off his legs so it wasn't all lost. His name was Bjorn which meant bear in Swedish so hopefully the ginger would love it.

"Let's go and get this fucking party started!"

The trashy singer now screaming as he yanked Hans into Jake's, wanting to spot Rekker.

Mick hanging around the mini bar and chatting;

[guitar_voodoo]

Mick had to think about what costume he was going to pick when attending the Halloween party at Jake's apartment. He'd thought about the usual scary creatures like werewolves or vampires but this time he wanted to go a little more divine. The guitarist knew a certain wine-loving angel would take note of his costume, as he was now walking towards the bar area for a drink.

He hoped his---skirt? Wasn't too short. Or maybe Ziggy would get a kick out of it. Being an angel made him giggle a little because he was showing off his toned thighs.

Ulfen, Ziggy, and Mikkel

[smidig_ulv]

Ulfen, Mikkel, and Ziggy had been drinking together. Mikkel was a little bee which really just meant a pair of yellow hot pants, yellow high heels, and a pair of clear wings with antennae on a headband. It was cute and Mikkel was watching for his better halves. Ziggy was in a mini skirt thanks to Mikkel who was drunkenly teasing the Anthean. Ulfen thought it was cute and felt good seeing the young Dane happy more often than not now. Ulfen was in a wolf outfit too.. basically hotpants, a tail, furry boots, and ears.

Ulfen leaned over to Ziggy and pointed out Mick. Mikkel giggling so hard as he heard the older two talking about Ulfen. Mikkel giggled. "You should go pinch his cheek. It's sticking out under the skirt."

Ziggy winked and Ulfen and the Dane was instantly on his feet. Ulfen got up behind Mick first and pinched his backside. It wouldn't be long before another pinch came from Ziggy. Mikkel was laying over on the couch giggling while he watched the two pick on Mick.

Joe dressed as a sexy cowboy;

[helland_damnation]

"Come let me wrangle you, babe!"

Joe now laughing as he entered the party dressed as a sexy cowboy. Of course he was. How could he not come to the party in a slutty, whorish rather obscene outfit. He had a rope and was waving it towards Aarne suggestively, while drinking down some booze with his free hand.

"This party is fucking awesome!"

[riff_razor]

Rik looked up to see Joe. Rik sort of got lazy and is just wearing one of his Skald outfits.

"I thought he was still wrangling his hair in the bathroom." Rik smiled when he looked up to see that Aarne finally got his costume in order.

"DIRTY PANTS!" Aarne pointed while giggling and Rik turned red in the cheek when he saw the trashy pants Joe was wearing. He shouldn't be surprised at this point.

[itmeanstruth]

The lasso hit his betrothed from behind, or so he may have drunkenly thought. But as 'Aarne' turned around, Joe saw that it was none other than Minoru!

He'd teased his hair up, put on clothes fit for a rockstar, including the massive heels. Aarne even helped him do his glam makeup.

"Hey Joe, what do you think?" He laughed, "I'm one of you guys tonight!"

new arrival, Einar's older brother, Aleksi;

[syntynyt_villiksi]

A fucking Halloween party? Hell yeah! The young Finn now stumbling around a little because he was drunk on free booze because why not? Where the fuck was his prissy younger brother, Einar anyway? Probably still doing his make-up or something. He'd only arrived a day or so ago into LA and had found this guy's house, which was something out of the Addam's Family.

"Free booze!"

The boy's slightly slurred speech was tinged with a thick Finnish accent. He didn't know it was fancy dress so was dressed in his usual clothes. Travelling on the Ziggy Stardust tour beat being a delivery driver any day.

[twistedcharms]

Dylan, by this time of the night, was trashed himself and laughed when he heard the screaming about free booze from out on the patio. He's in a shirt made of mirrors and spandex pants that are obsenely tight. He had boots but where they were.. who knew.. since he was barefooted at this point.

"What are you drinking?" He is offering a bottle of whatever expensive wine it was that he found out on Jake's coffee table.

Dirty Daddy Sigurd and Baby Daddy Fredrik;

[basmastare]

Whoever thought this was a good idea was total fucking idiot. Sigurd now rolling his eyes as Fredrik clapped a hand over his mouth at what the grouchy bassist was wearing. Fredrik himself dressed as a cute sunflower while Sigurd was dressed as dirty daddy pimp. He knew his brother Karl was getting a big laugh out of this.

"I look fucking ridiculous."

Taking a smoke out of his pocket he lit up and sighed. Why had he even agreed to this? Brat would poke fun too or maybe he'd love it. Fredrik seemed to think it would be the latter.

"You're a dirty old daddy so you look the part!"

Fredrik snorting giggles. Wait until Mikkel saw this!

[oprorsk_sode]

Mikkel jumped on Fredrik's back while making a buzzing sound. He's drunk and excited to finally see Sigurd and Fredrik. He kissed the blonde's neck and then looked over at Sigurd.

The Dane's grin is as wide as it can possibly be. "OH!!! Are you going to pimp me out to this hot flower and then tell me I'm bad?" Mikkel snorted a laugh as he reached out to get Sigurd to come closer so he could kiss him too.

Jakob as an astronaut;

[rekordpojke]

Jakob was looking around a little awkwardly as he entered Jake's rather impressive apartment, taking in the vampire-themed decor and gothic interior. It really was the perfect venue for a Halloween party.

"Uh, is there food and drink here?"

The boy was shy as usual and even more so tonight because he was dressed up as an astronaut. He thought it would be a fun idea and something different from the usual monsters that people went as. His brother, Felix, had suggested the idea after Jakob originally thought about going as a werewolf. Niko beat him to it tonight.

[sunnycymbals]

Sam wasn't wearing much of a costume, just a Floral suit. He'd been here before and the decor didn't bother him much at all.

"It is all out in the courtyard between the apartments." Sam mentioned as he came up to Jakob. He had seen this boy hanging around with Syn. Maybe this was his new boyfriend? Second boyfriend?

Isak dressed as the devil;

[porrstjarna_musiker]

Isak had thought about what costume he wanted and he'd come up with one he was happy with. It wasn't as fucking trashy as Joe's or some of the others were wearing though, judging by how short Ronno's---skirt thing was. The Swede was used to dressing in skimpy, slutty outfits for his pornos, so this was something above that. Just.

"The devil is in the detail as they say."

The Swede now flaunting his devil costume as he lit up a smoke and was now ready to enjoy the party.

"This place is fucking awesome."

Isak loving Jake's place.

[tordenvejr]

Torden was there with Ollie and they were deep in a brotherly argument.

"You're not even wearing a costume." Ollie was protesting as he looked at his older brother who was wearing just some leather pants, leather vest and leather jacket.

"And you're in your work clothes." Torden sighed at Ollie in his racecar jumpsuit that he wore while racing. This argument wasn't about to stop any time soon.

Torvald dressed as...the prince of darkness!;

[bankarhelanatten]

The young drummer had recovered from his injury on one of Jake's mounted wall weapons and was now happy to be dressed up in a costume. He still had a scar from where he'd received stitches because the wound had been a deep laceration, causing significant blood loss. Luckily there was no nerve damage or muscle tear. He was back and wanted to find Tyko to show off his costume which was the prince of darkness. It was a sort of wizard, sorcerer outfit which the blond liked.

"Hej, I'm back! Where is the booze?"

Torvald made a note not to get too drunk and fall back on any of Jake's mounted weapons. He wouldn't make the same mistake twice.

[vakkerstoy]

Tyko had found the best costume ever musketeer and it let him carry a sword. He saw Torvald and poked him in the ass with the sword. It was barely sharp so he wasn't going to hurt the drummer.

"Not in your stomach yet?" Tyko started to giggle.

Sven and Ulrik;

[nordlig_pojke]

Sven was now shoving Ulrik through the door of Jake's apartment with both men dressed up for the party. It would be fucking hilarious as well as fun tonight! The younger Swede dressed as a ninja while Sven had come as a WWF wrestler of sorts. Ulrik looked a little embarrassed at how his brother had come dressed but Sven was Sven. Of course he'd go as something outrageous and obnoxious. Whatever would his princess make of it?

"You look a little stupid."

Ulrik looking at his brother and snorting out a laugh, hidden behind his ninja's mask. Sven adjusting his head bandanna and grinning, puffing out his muscled chest and hoping Davy would get a good laugh out of it.

"Dee will think you're hot as a ninja."

Sven trying to tickle Ulrik under his arms.

[thrashdevil]

"What will Dee think?" Dee came out of the crowd laughing. She was dressed as a Celtic witch and had been talking with Trygg and Vidar who were dressed as a snow elf and a ranger.

She gave Ulrik a kiss on the cheek and then laughed at Sven. "Oh... Davy's going to slap you senseless." She snorted a laugh at Sven because Davy, as always, was in a mood.

Billy and Zack;

[shutyour_frettingmouth]

Both Hell's Angels band members were now getting to the party, which was at Jake's, being the gothic vampire "castle" perfect for a Halloween party. Zack was a little shy in his costume dressed as Spider-Man from the comics. He wanted to pick the Tony Stark suit after actually meeting the real man back in the Nexus thanks to Ziggy. His spider shooters now working better than ever.

"You look like a real Spider-Man."

Billy now encouraging his band mate, giggling at his own costume which was done for laughs. He'd come as a giant retro phone.

"Someone push my buttons!"

Zack just snorted under his mask at Billy.

[citycharm]

Syn had to more or less drag Davy out of the house after he and Jake had done his costume. Davy grouched but Syn thought Davy's costume was amazing. The grouchy brooding of his guitarist only made the costume better in his opinion. Syn is pretty much in his usual clothes though he does have skeleton earrings and his spandex pants look like skeleton legs too.

The someone push my buttons was too much to resist and Syn snuck up behind the shorter Brit and started pressing his fingers into his sides to tickle him.

Dominic, Damien, and Jack is probably around somewhere

[ministryproject5]

Damien had come to see Zack and thought it might be good for Dominic to see a party. Dominic was calm enough now that while he might be way out of his element but at least he wouldn't panic.

Damien gave the former Ministry, now Dog, a glass of whiskey and left him at the bar on his own. Dominic would figure it out and Damien knew he wouldn't be alone long. Someone would come talk to him as soon as they came looking for a drink.

Dominic though definitely had the out of place feeling of being at a party where he really didn't know anyone, not well anyway. He also had no idea what he was supposed to be doing either. This was his first big party.

Viktor dressed as a gangster;

[hellfire_andfury]

Viktor had already been drinking vodka, whiskey and whatever else booze was going, as he then noticed the new guy at the bar. Who was he? A relative or friend of the tour? Must be. The punk was dressed in his costume, that being a gangster of New York around the 1940's. He thought it was a decent costume and being a gangster was fucking badass.

"Fancy a flaming vodka, mate?"

The Brit grinned at the man stood at the bar, wondering if he liked getting pissed up.

Harald;

[dodsmetall_kriger]

It wasn't exactly hard for Harald to pick out a costume because he liked dressing up in his traditional Viking outfit so had picked dark leather and elk fur trim with steel plating. He'd forged some throwing axes himself which were mostly for decoration only because he rarely brought them out except for special occasions. This party was one such occasion. He'd darkened his eyes with charcoal for the effect of a warrior and had platted his hair into a pony tail to match the era of around 850 AD or so.

"Where drink?"

The big Norwegian now stomping into Jake's house, looking quite intimidating to any who didn't know him but to others he was a big snuggly teddy bear.

[roligogtrofast]

Vidar and Trygg were still drinking together when he saw Harald. Trygg's back was to the guitarist and Vidar could only smirk.

"Hey. I think that's for you." He poked at Trygg who swatted the drummer before turning around. It left the Finn wide eyed. Sure, Harald dressed for stage but this was something else entirely.

Felix dressed as a kinky fireman;

[lejon_pojke]

Of course Felix had to dress trashy, picking out a kinky fireman costume at the local sex shop on the Strip. Andy would surely love it, wouldn't he? Or die laughing or maybe he'd be too shy to admit he liked it? The Swede now walked into the party, axe slung over his shoulder as he wondered where the booze was.

"These fucking kinky spandex shorts are tight around my balls."

Would anyone notice? Felix did catch a distant laugh from somewhere across the room.

[vakkerstoy]

Tyko was drunk and not paying attention because he was trying to balance the 8 drinks he was managing, barely to carry. He was so focused he almost bumped into the person coming in. With his eyes focused down on his drinks the first think he noticed were the shorts that showed everything. His cheeks when red and then he giggled as he looked up.

"I didn't know anyone hired a stripper."
