This section of town was a common refuge for immigrants from the Chinese-American war, now populated with many East Asian ethnicity enclaves; named for the Buddha statue built near the center of the district.
Chadwick had made sure to leave a notice on he board in the staff room at work that there was a semi-mandatory, but mostly highly encouraged team building meeting at Dark Hearts, one of the better night clubs in the Sprawl, two floor, lots of music, alcohol, and a great vibe to enjoy the night.
Plus it was a costume night, with a costume contest! Was he the best boss, probably.
Xing-Shen drove here in her rebuilt Mustang, she loved the feel of the vehicle and even if she felt that Chadwick was a little uptight, any chance to chill out and drink was good for her. She was seated at the table now, doom scrolling while the music pumped in her ears.
Does she want to be there? She was not sure, Chadwick was fairly obvious but clubbing might be fun regardless. She'd pick up the tab as she knew that this was a financially irresponsible decision for any coffee shop manager and did not want to owe him anything.
She'd invited Hana too. The more girls the better.
She was actually wearing BadWitchPatel this evening, along with some adornments and accessories to bring the image of a punk/street witch together. A different style but but not one she couldn't master.

A Halloween party sounded fun, and so Miles was there, demonstrating some TikTok moves on the dance floor in his tuxedo mask outfit. He waved cheerily at all his friends from Elite Chai; the sponsorship deal had really been good for his brand.

Chadwick was happy to see Galatea arrive, time to turn on the master level rizz. He said to the group, "So who wants drinks?"
She noticed Xing-Shen and walked over to her. That doom scrolling was insufficient shield against a friendly co-worker.
"Hey, Xing-Shen! Glad to see you here. Have you been to this club before? Do you like it? Have you seen Chadwick yet? Did he dress up?"
She briefly looked up and said, "Hey, Beatrice. He's over there, I am not sure if he dressed up." She wore her usual clothes but had a T-shirt that said "I'm a Ghost."
Camilo arrived hand in hand with Frankie III. He was dressed in tight, black leather pants and a pair of foam bull horns atop his head. There also may have been some oil spread across his shirtless chest. She was dressed as a sexy matadora.
Waving to the others, they bee lined over to the bar to kick off the night. "Duas doses de bourbon, por favor."
She briefly looked up and said, "Hey, Beatrice. He's over there, I am not sure if he dressed up." She wore her usual clothes but had a T-shirt that said "I'm a Ghost."
Bea smiled at her. "Ah, cute T-shirt."
She gave a friendly wave to Chadwick as he came over. "Thanks for organizing this. It was really sweet of you. I'll take a water. Bottle or iced is fine. Adding a lime wedge would be amazing if possible."
She smiled at Galatea and Hana. "Hey! Nice to see you two. Hana, congratulations on selling your art at the auction!"
She smiled at Camilo and one of the Frankies. Holding hands! But which Frankie was it? "Hey Camilo, Frankie. You guys look fantastic!"
Camilo scoffed and giggled on the side with Franike III. You would think Phteven was leading a Justice Elite team, not the afternoon shift at a franchised coffee shop.
He supposed there were worse things than little delusions of grandeur, their assistant manager could be a full blown megalomaniac. Although he did catch a creeper vibe between him and Galatea. Although Camilo was sure she was used to those kinds of reactions and knew how to handle them.

Frankie had no idea of the vibe to expect or what relationships were what but there was liquor, something she assumed was music, it wasn’t trap clown metal but it would do. This was a chance to forget all the messed up shit going on and plus Camilo had been really cool to her.
She didn't know about any work-related things... since she didn't really *do* any work. But when she heard people were heading out to *party*, naturally she was there. Still dressed like some kind of frankenstein's monster. Not quite bride-of; and dressed surprisingly modern and casual for a frankenstein's monster. But she was there to bust some moves and get drunk or whatever.
Except she saw herself there. With mustachio? Had she missed something?
"Sup." He returned to Frankie I, then stammered at her next question. "A thing... umm, it's probably too early to say anything like that. No? We've only know each other for like two or three days. We're just out having fun for tonight so far." He looked over to Frankie III to try and judge how she had taken the question as well as his response.
"Hell yeah," she replied, "but uh, bruv, are you two like a thing now? Not that that isn't cool or anything, yeah?"
"Wot mate, we just out partyin' yeah, if we smashin' that's our business yeah," she said with a roll of her eyes. She handed Frankie a drink and said, "Happy Halloween."
She smiled at Galatea and Hana. "Hey! Nice to see you two. Hana, congratulations on selling your art at the auction!"
Galatea raised an eyebrow at Bee's comment but otherwise made a warm welcome
''Oh? Did you mean Hanh, Arturo's girlfriend...or did you but something to auction as well Hana? Anyway...'' she raised her voice so that her group would hear her
''First round of drinks on me!''
