Grim Grinning Ghosts [open]

Set phasers to stunning, Erich though as he brushed a stray thread off of his shoulder. He looked like Captain Kirk. Though to be honest, if he had his way, he wanted to dress up as Spock. Live long and prosper to all of his friends. But there were people who said he looked like Captain kirk so that's what he decided to go as. His command gold shirt with his black pants and shoes. Yeah he knew he looked good. He wasn't afraid to think that. Though there would probably be a Venus chick or two who would gladly take him down a peg or two as they liked to do on occasion, making sure that he knew he wasn't hot shit. They were always knocking him, making sure that he knew that he was a nerdy turd and he had no chance. Well at least that was the gist that he got from them. They were much more eloquent in telling him such.

Erich didn't really like the whole idea of partying. It wasn't his thing. He was a social introvert and had slight anxiety problems when he thought about the idea of being out around other people. Well other people didn't bother him much, so long as it was a small group situation. The thought that he would be around a couple of other people, like the legion and all of new rome, well that was enough to make him feel super uncomfortable. His mind always was like. 'Yay people I like parties, but I have anxiety and I want to go home'. That was always his general train of thought. But he would at least try to relax and hang out with people and hope that he didn't have a panic attack. It would be the least of his worries so as to not attempt to blow up the hall unexpectedly. his powers tended to go haywire when he was having his issues.

Notes: Hope this is ok XD

It was incredible that Erich had convinced chris (indirectly) to go to the Halloween party as a character of a human TV show! Erich was going to go dressed like Captain Kirk of the Enterprise... he had asked around and they told him it was from a show called Star Trek. Chris had no idea of what in the underworld  was that thing! He had spent his life in Camp, since the age of five, he had been in New Rome or camp, so how could he know what that bloody show was? But he asked around and even checked a book and a magazine where it was a review of the show and it's characters.

So Erich was going to dress as the main character, the capitain, so he was going to go as the second in command... the capitain best friend. But when he saw it, he was shocked at the appearance of the guy, well an alien... Vulcan they said, well it didn't look like any Vulcan kid he knew, but for his friend he would do it. Erich wasn't a person that enjoyed parties, well... he was going to enjoy that one. First thing in the morning of October 17th he went to get the custome. 

On October 31st he dressed up as Mr.Spock He even put on a black wig and latex on his ears. All of it and the blue shirt and black trousers. He felt so stupid, he would have rather go dressed as Hercules or maybe someone like that! But not a pointy eared alien. He sighed and then walked out. He would see Marie in the party so he went directly to the place where it was going to be held. As he walked among the people, he finally saw his friend. "So... what do we do now?" smiles at his friend.

Erich couldn't believe that he actually convinced Chris to go as his second in command. And as an alien from a mortal TV show at that. Erich was so happy that his buddy was up for doing some weird and odd stuff at that. Sure they might have looked more in place at comicon as opposed to a Roman Halloween party, but this was where it was at. But as his buddy joined him at his side, Erich grinned. "Not bad Chris. Though I think your ears are crooked. You make a great vulcan." Erich couldn't help but chuckle at his buddy. Chris was probably awkward feeling, Erich knew how that was. It came with the social anxiety problems that plagued Erich when it came to big crowds. Gods he hated being a socailly awkward teenager at times. "Now, Mr. Spock, we pick up chicks. Can you at least do the whole 'live long and prosper' thing?" He said as he held his hand up in the vulcan greeting.


Erich passed Chris a drink as he took one himself. "I thought you were going with Marie anyways, where is she?" He asked as he looked around, watching a werewolf be accosted by a girl with super long blond hair, a green chameleon and a frying pan. "Is that Jolly?" He asked incredulously. "No that can't be her! she's too....girly to be Jolly." He said as he tilted his head and then looked at some of the other party goers. "I think MErcury is here." He said as he watched a drunken pirate wobble by, giving chocolate covered Espresso beans to a small child.

Chris looked at Erich's face and he smiled, at least his friend was glad to see him in such custome, He felt completely and absolutely ridiculous, but standing there with Erich wearing something totally according to the blue and black skinny custome he was wearing, he felt less riddiculous, in fact he felt he could have some fun dressed up like that. "Spock?..." he asked and then he remembered that the name of the character he was representing was Spock, so he sighed and chuckled.

"Well... captain, I think you should seek the chicks, I'll just supervise so they don't turn into evil... aliens and devour you." he tried to be funny, but... he didn't know how much he would be not knowing the show that Erich liked so much. He looked at his friend and wondered what did he mean with that. "Long and prosper?... I really don't know about that..." he said with a knit of his brows, then smiled when Erich asked about Marie.

"I'll see her later, here in the party. I saw her with her friend... Kyle, so well... we both also need friends' time, so I'll hang around with you for some time." He said and crossed his arm over Erich's shoulders. "unless you want to be alone so the chick come closer faster." he smiled at his friend and winked. Back in the days before Marie was in his life, chris would have been the one finding Chicks, Erich was more... reserved at that point.

"Yeah, Spock, you. You're dressed as Spock." Erich reminded him. He had to remember that Chris was raised here in new rome. The outside world was a bit foreign to him. Just like some things about the Roman world were strange to him. But Erich was getting better at this whole being a Roman thing. He was working hard to learn. "You'll learn, one day I'll sit you down and we can watch Ander's whole collection of the seasons of star trek." He said. Yes he would make his friend watch the most bad ass show of all time. "We'll need a week and we'll order pizza and I can show you around Austria. I think you'll like it."

"Ha, yeah, some of those chicks would eat me up and spit me out alive just for spite." HE said, waving his hand over at the Venus girls that were dressed in skanky costumes. "Only a Venus girl..." HE said rolling his eyes at the scantily clad girls strutting around in overly high heels and fishnet hose. "I don't know about you, but that's not even remotely attractive. It leaves nothing to the imagination." He shook his head. HE loved a girl with a brain, someone who was strong willed, creative, those were the girls he liked. Looks wern't everything, but he loved a girl with a pretty set of eyes.

"Dude, it's nice to have friend time occasionally. You don't want to have too much together time. You'll get tired of each other and you don't want that." Erich said sagely. Yes, he was giving out advice for dating. Sure he could give an outside perspective. It had to be worth something. "No worries man, I'm sure that I'm a natural female repellant. Maybe next year I should go as Iron Man." He shrugged his shoulders as he scanned the crowd.

Chris smiled when Erich mentioned all that stuff about his character, well the one that he was supposed to be playing in that moment. He knew his friend was a nerd, he was always talking about those shows from outside Camp, since he met him had been the same thing. and even when usually chris seemed to be bored, he had never was and he was always listening. He could beat anyone's butt off just to help his friend, that was bromance as he had heard it called. Well yes it was, Chris had very good friends like Ronan, charlie, Felicity, his love and life Marie, but Erich was his brother if you wanted to see it like that.

"The whole show?" he smiled and then nodded, for some weird reason he was willing to see the entire show, maybe then he would understand why his friend was such a dork at some points and so matture at others. he smiled. "ok, but only with that pizza, if you don't keep my mouth occupied I'll speak the wole show!" Then he looked at the Venus girl, he frowned and then shook his head, he really couldn't believe how Venus girls could be like that. But then his friend as always made him chuckle again. "I know, I know we need time for ourselves, that's why I fell for her, because she was independent and have a mind of her own."

then something just made him laugh, he would never think that of his friend. "come on! you only need to be more open! a smile here or there and let them know you man! I've seen some girls really up to know you!"
