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.

"The heartbeat of the band, I take it?" he notes, softly, and he might come closer, crouching down poised on the balls of his feet. "He sounds like someone you'd be happy to have at your back."

He glances to the lighter, tilting his head, inquisitive, but not asking for the moment, if it belonged to the other's missing bandmate.

"Artists have their reasons for moving on: sometimes it's creative reasons, sometimes they simply need a change of pace or to take a step back," he says. "But it's not easy being the one on the other side of those reasons, trying to understand it, isn't it?"

He'll glance to the cigarettes, with a small smile. "Trying to kick the habit? I'd made an attempt at quitting myself, but I could only get myself to step down to e-cigarettes."

"They singular or they plural?" he asks, curious yet his concern overtaking the curiosity. "I hope I'm not prying, though I'm no stranger to being solitary." How much it can aid a person and yet take from them.

"Not enough to give your physician cause from concern, or to get those nosier parental groups up at arms about your unhealthy habits," he says, a little mocking on the last bit. Serious again, he adds, "I apologize for the snark; the media's been a bit much too with me, as the saying goes."

The pale gent gives him a look of compassion and sadness through understanding. "That has to be heartbreaking. Your band broke up or... may I ask what happened?" Should Dino need it, he's willing to offer a shoulder to cry on: he's not one to mind making that gesture.

"I could offer some platitude about looking at it as a new beginning, but I suspect you're not ready for that step," he says, taking out his e-cigarette, perhaps in a bid to put Dino at ease about having a smoke.
