Ziggy Stardust Nexus Album Release Party

[ziggyplayedguitar]

Why not in the Nexus had started all of this and now skekSa's bar had glitter and space themed drinks for the night, karaoke and a band playing for the release of a new album. Ziggy had decided this was the best course since so much of his family and friends couldn't go into his world to be there for his own party in his own world.

Of course, as with any good party this one was open to any who had stumbled into it and there were those directly invited as well. And flashy posters too. He was going through the ends of a sound check with the band when the bar opened.

There was a merch table, with the usual swag and new album to buy on CD and Vinyl, where they would be signing autographs and doing the whole meet and greet thing. Why not have fans in more than one universe? It had been a trip explaining this all to Mick. Weird and Gilly before dragging them through the portal. Ziggy still imagined there was going to be some crazy moments later in the night. They didn't even know he was an alien, or half alien anywway. All of this was going to blow their minds for sure.

After the show they had plans to spend the night just hanging out with drinking, karaoke, a DJ, and the usual bar fare. Ziggy had left Sa to the food and drink though he had put in a few requests for food his own species could eat.

Ziggy fussed with everything before heading backstage to drink and get dressed. About an hour after the bar opened they came out on stage and played through the whole album front to back plus a few from the previous.

[OOC: Feel free to mingle, karaoke, DJ, dancing, drinking, etc. Will post the band meet and greet below at the swag table as a top level. Any questions feel free to DM me here or on Discord.]

"Mincemeat pies.... Yeah. I think I can handle making sure you're not eating out every single night. You really need a cookbook." He perks up a the mention of a roommate. "Matthew? Anything I should know about him before he starts getting your leftovers?"

Mantis smiles a little learning about the Decepticons. "I've heard that kind of thing before. It's not always easy finding the ones who really believe it, but when they do, they're genuine leaders and thinkers. I was more of a freedom fighter myself, but that kind of fell apart right at the end."

"A cookbook's a good idea." Ben smiles slightly. "Well, there's an appropriate Earth holiday coming up, as well as its equivalent from my galaxy. If you receive a Life Day invitation in the next few weeks, well, you'll know who it came from."

Ben agrees with Mantis's assessment. "Ravage and Soundwave really believe it, and they're very convincing. They didn't have to try very hard to convince me to join them as an ally - I helped Ravage some time ago when he was having trouble and didn't know what to do. As for Matthew, he's a werewolf, so I wouldn't suggest visits on a full moon."

"I can compile some starter recipes for you, get some photographs for a reference so you don't get too lost. And they call it Life Day here? If it's the same part of the month as it is back home, our equivalent is called Christmas."

Mantis smiles and rocks slightly where he sits. "They're honest old souls. I've seen into Soundwave's mind, and he looks at Ravage with a great deal of love. The real kind, though. The kind you can live a life with." And then it hits him that Ben was not messing around with him. "Werewolf. Silver bullets, full moons, that kind of werewolf?"

"It's the holiday celebrated around that time in my galaxy. The Wookiees invented it, but other peoples picked it up, too." As someone who grew up with Chewbacca, Ben learned about Life Day traditions.

"Yes - one of the reasons Matthew trusted me enough to share a room with me is because I was strong enough to help him restrain himself in the full moon and could keep myself safe. I don't know the rules where he comes from, I figure they're different in different worlds with werewolves, but he changes during the full moon and loses control of himself then."

"It's a sweet sounding holiday. You should tell me more about it. I can't promise I'll celebrate well, but I'll try."

Mantis nods as Ben describes the nature of the transformation. "I might be able to do something. No one should be left to deal with powers that they can't control. Can't be harder to keep down a werewolf than to move a person."
