You were Charles's assistant and had been for some time, so long now you'd become almost a friend- although part of that friendship did come from the fact that you were sturdy enough to not be turned into lunch meat on the first day.

Halloween was coming up- you fucking loved Halloween- and no one fucked with Halloween more than Dethklok, it was the most brutal holiday after all. To celebrate the band was having Charles organize a slutty- sexy- masquerade- blood bath- ball- seance thing (the exact instruction) and it had to be as brutal as possible. Pig heads were ordered, blood banks were cleared, pumpkin patches were ransacked and disgusting amounts of booze was bought all for this one very exclusive and expensive party that was all the press could talk about.

Of course no one in mordhaus was exempt from working, not the Klokateers, not the manager and especially not you. Everyone had to wear costumes, the Klokateers were assigned something since they were still working and serving- you were still so busy with helping putting everything together you asked one of the Klokateers who were running errands to quickly grab you a costume in spirit Halloween when they had the chance.

You opened the door to show him, he was dressed like Jack skeleton- Ie, pin striped suit and face paint on his mouth, that's it. He stared at you for a moment, it wasn't the reaction you were expecting. He remained completely straight faced and unresponsive, although you did catch the slightest but of panic in his eyes, like he was in factory reset. He swallowed, "Ah..."
