Open!

Who: Dino Cavallone + your folks!
What: One of the nicest guys in the business is down and out. Probably could use some cheering up... or a drink.
When: 4/11-13
Where: Various places!
Warnings: Drinkin' partyin' etc


A :: 4/11 :: Virgo HQ
Dino got out of bed this morning to find one less person in the penthouse. Another firing for his group, only this time it feels a little personal. He'd cared about Kaoru more than he ever told anyone but the guy himself. Now that he's gone, and Dino's left wondering why... They've worked so hard and been so close. Hue & Cry should've been the darlings of the label, at least in Dino's mind, for the work they do and the people they are. But now they're two down, and Dino's having a hard time handling it.

At Virgo HQ, he can be found in one of the various eating areas staring blankly into a bowl of half-eaten cereal, or mumbling an apology as he bumps into people while he walks around in clear distress.

B :: 4/12 :: parkside
A tribute to one bandmate gone, Dino sits in a busy area of the park with a makeshift drum (i.e. a bucket) that he's acquired from somewhere or another, figuring out a simple rhythm as he sings some words to a song he's making up as he goes along. Sometimes it's in your standard English-y thing, sometimes it's in Italian. Someone's set a hat down beside him, and people seem to be tossing little things into it as tokens of appreciation. Somehow no one has given obvious outward signs that they know who he is. Still, if someone does stop, he'll talk to them happily.

C :: 4/13 :: nighttime
After two days of not being able to find the right salve for the wound, so to speak, Dino turns to other peoples' methods. He goes to a bar for a while, sitting smack in the center, at first talking quietly with anyone who comes over, signing a few autographs here and there, but soon enough he gets sullen and waves people off. Not good. The bodyguard that seems to be watching him here is displeased.

Subsequently, then, Dino ditches the hell out of that bodyguard and heads to a nightclub instead, shucking off his coat and giving it to a random fan before he rolls up his sleeves and bypasses the bouncer entirely. Because fuck you that's why.

Once inside, he's again in the thick of things, only this time it's with a great sense of abandon, and probably ripe for bad life choices and stupidly candid conversations. He's a klutz, still, but no one seems to notice trodden upon toes when he's like this. Catch him before he finally gives out and goes back to HQ.

Keith doesn't drink anymore - not frequently, anyway. Alcohol doesn't have the same soothing, mind-numbing properties anymore. He feels less like partying hard, wreaking havoc, and letting slip the dogs of war; it'd be much nicer to adopt a band mascot and spend a relaxing night petting it. But in an attempt to convince Virgo that he's still Keith Badman, he tries to keep up the appearance of going out.

Nursing only his second beer, he notices his bandmate still near the bar. The crowd simply parts to let him through. There's an advantage to being kinda big. So unless Dino has any objections, Keith is going to muscle in next to him and flag the bartender down. "Put his tab on mine, please."

There's a pit in his stomach, a sour taste in his mouth. He can't bear to see anyone like this.

"You're out later than usual."

"You first." Defensive? Maybe a tiny bit. But only a tiny bit. This is as good a way as any to press for answers. Keith puts a hand on Dino's shoulder to steady him. "Unless you would prefer water first, and conversation second."
