A convoy of cars pulled into the estate, led by a certain distinctive Dragon Green truck. Ben parked up and got out, the robe flapping around his legs as he clapped the pointy hat on his head and retrieved his staff from the gun rack.

He then headed for the festivities.

  Security people dressed  as Musketteers  greeted the cars  as the  were waved into the parking area. They all got the  same   words  from  each...

 "..Please leave your  keys  in the car..  Warlord Amota  has provided  for  those  who partake  too much, Your   chariots   will remain  safe...."

 Servers   drssed as BArbarian   women and Men with Fur  loincloths  and  tops, with  leather  sandals , sorting   dagger on thier hims, carrier  trays  of  Finger  foods  a round.


 A LArge  Gazebo was set up  about 49 yards  from the Wishing well and  some  'name '  entertainers '  were  singing..


   The  gold medallions were easy to see for all the players  no know who was  an 'investor'... Ivory Collins and His  wife  were present, she looked a good 20 years  younger then him. She was  dressed  as a LAdy Pirate, he  was dressed as  Superman


  Players  scattered  around moving, meeting and greeting   and/or  just grabbing  food  and drinks

 Kids  were taken to the kid  area   by Babarbians   to have  fun,  and play games.. there  was  even a  large screen set up with  scarey Kids  Halloween fare  , running constantly..

 The smell of  food, cotton  candy and  kettlecorn  wafted through the estate..

  Ben was approached  from  the back  a vocie  said,..greetings,  Wizard... you have come to  join my party..Yes?

 Ly-ti  had  a pari of  'woodland' leather   boots up to her thighs,   a Quiver on her back    and a Bow in her  hand  as well  as a thin blade on her  Him.

  The top  5  Group Of  Lana and the Reavers  were playing, alot of   folks in costume were  dancing to popular songs.. after  the LAtest  Song,  Lana  a Slim  Red haired  woman  called out,..Thank you all for turning out  for this   party-Fundraiser  that is being sponsored  by  The Amotas!  there  were  claps  , cheers  and Whistles, as she   laughed   Pointing her free hand at the warlord  and His queen.

 She licked her  lips  a bit    and said,..but?.... I hear this  did not  come without cost?...  Yuto's   Victory party   had to be  canceled to fit this  in... Now?... We in show business have our good luck rites?..  I don't think its  fair, to  sacrifice    good luck, while  providing   for the  Children's   Section of Amota Med?.. am I right...

 People clapped and Cheered  and  she  Nodded her head  as she walked   back and  forth on the Gazebo.

 ... So?.... where is Adam Bronk?...

 Lana  waved him up to the Gazebo..... Come on  Adam.. I won't  Bite!... she was dressed as her band  was.. as  Vampires, though her outfit was on..the skimpy side...unless you want me to!

 The  Crowded laughed   as  Adam looked    more  then a little   embarrassed  as  Mik pushed him a  few more steps...

 some of the   investors  who knew  Adam , only from  TV games started   chanting...'ADAM  ADAM..."

 He  walked up on the  Gazebo   and   People cheered.. Lana  greeted Him with a Hug.....Hey there  Adam....

 he returned the hug  a bit awkwardly,..Um....  Hey, Lana...

 she giggled the Crowd laughed  as Adam Looked around, Uncomfortable.....I like the Mustache .. you should keep it... Most of the  folks Booed..some cheers...

 She hugged  Him with One   arm as she  Pointed to the  crowd,..so?.. we Know  what  we're  Gonna do..Right?

Emma had arrived with her old truck. It was her last week with it, so she'd opted to use her own vehicle a bit more often than she usually did. She was dressed in the Wonder Woman costume when she arrived, parking the truck and, per the security people, left her keys in the vehicle.

The woman made a note of the people with the gold medallions. It was certainly a good idea, as it gave a visual reminder of who the money people were.

She'd been hanging out with Bing a bit when Lana pulled Adam up on stage. "He really needs to get used to this sort of thing," the woman commented with a comfortable smile. When Bing asked about the stomp, she nodded. "Of course. Even Cap can relax a little bit," she replied as she went to join the man for the Dragon Stomp.

Emma smiled at Bing's words before replying. "Well Captain, I can't really think of any good reasons to leave. But that fate is, at least partially, in the hands of the Amotas," the woman commented while they performed the stomp. She wasn't expecting to leave, and she didn't expect that the owners were eager to run her off the team.

This celebration was certainly similar to a college rally than what she expected most of the donors were used to, but she was getting used to the way the Dragons did things. She figured that, at some point, she and the other players would be expected to mingle. But she didn't need to rush off immediately for that.

"Impressive band they've got up there for this. Definitely not a cheap booking. How'd you settle on Captain, anyway?" Emma asked.

   Bing shrugged about the Band, as they  did The Stomp.....Don't know  much about the BAnd, 'cept the  drummer is from JAcksonville.. I think the Singer  chick is a New York Girl....I do know they are Up in the charts though...

 He Chuckles,..the first Halloween,  My parents  said,  i could have  one, 'for real costume'.. and  we  sent to the Shopping center.. no Malls  in decent driving  distance  from my house he    chuckles  again,so we   go into Holiday section of the  Big store  that was there?...  I saw CAptain America.. and   Spiderman... turns out  the spiderman   suit  was one  size  too small, and the Captain America  was  just right... so that was my first and Only 'bought' costume... I took a few  pics  in the Mirror and sent them to My Folks..showed them the  'Movie Bag' it came in.. they'll go nuts..

 Lana  saw  smilign  as  her  and Bronkl  did  the stomp  back and forth  on the Gazebo, while  Ben  lead the long  line  of party folks, waiting  for the Dragon to arrive and finish the stomp.. Yuto Provided  a Tape of the stomp  so the   party folks   could all 'roar' at the   right time.

 Mr Amota   smiles  as he looked at his  wife.....we should be havign  fun too...

 His wife  smiled  and  they  entered the Line  a  few people in front of  Emma  and Bing.

 Ivory turned to   the Loftons  and said,..now?.. I have seen  everything....

 The Commish's  wife  elbowed him,..shush!.. they are havign   fun..it is a party to raise money for  kids... and.. for everyone here to have some fun doing it.... beats those  stuffy dinners  where   everyone rights  out a check after  dinner

Emma smiled. "I'm sure they'll appreciate it. I'm just grateful for a costume that fits alright. Lots of ghosts for me when I was younger," Emma replied. Though they did celebrate Halloween, since they could get free candy, it was a bit different in downtown Detroit than in other places. "I think your build fits Captain America better anyway," Emma added.

She continued doing the Dragon Stomp as she talked. "And yeah, top five charts I think? I don't keep up as much as I possibly should. But I've at least heard of her, so that's something."

Ben looked at Lu-Ti.

"You look wonderful, darling."

He laughed with the rest when Adam was hauled up to sing, and was happy to join Lu-Ti in leading the Stomp line. As he took his place, he fiddled with something in his hand, then held it in the air.

In time with the Stomp, he emitted small bursts of flame from his fingers, or so it appeared.

"It's called a Magician's Hand Gun," he explained to Lu-Ti. "I visited a magic store this afternoon and picked up a bunch of tricks."

Emma shook her head. "You know the average height of a guy is right around 5'9", right? He's right around average height. Pro athletes tend to be on the tall side of things is all. Short is like 5'4"," Emma commented. She grew up with a lot of comments about her extreme height, so she understood a bit where Adam was coming from. "Besides, he's dancing with a celebrity musician, so I'd say things are going alright for him at the moment."

She offered a hand to Bing. "You up for some dancing? I'd rather get out there than just stand about, you know?"

  The People around  ooohhhhhh and laughed  at the   magic   Ben created .. when the Stomp was  ended ,  and Eddie took over to sign a  slower  song, So Lana  could  dance.

 when the  sound  was    Donwe  Lana   waved  to Eddie  without lookign  Back, and they played  a slower  instrumental, and more, Including  many of the  gold  medal 'winners'..joined in.

  Lana  waved awa  one of the Dragonettes  , who tried to , cut in, for a Dance.

  Collins  was   dragged    down the steps  By his wife  for   the  Dance, and  Lofton shrugged  as he held out his hand  to his  wife.

 Bing asked   Emma  if she wanted to  Dance...  Mik intercepted the Dragonette who  Lana  shooed away... Cidy had her   Camera Guy put  down his  machine and they  joined in.

 a tiny bit of breeze, as the night began to cool down, caused the flames to flicker a bit, on the torches.

 soft strains of a string band  , could be hear  wafting up from the lake.. and   the hapy sounds of  Kids in the  play area  drifted  about..murmurs  and laughter  comign from those who  stood to watch, or   just didn't feel like  dancing.
……………………………………………...

 Lana   rested her  head on  Adams  left shoulder,..this  doesn't seem like a wild , Dragon party....

  Yeah?... it  will  pick up  as every one unwinds  and  we  players  start  meeting  and greeting...Some  of the  Guys  will make a bigger splash..

 he chuckled,..I'm Dancing with a Hot  singer  Chick..who made me  sing in front of  a couple thousand people.. I think My splash has been made...

"Ugh, the dreaded game time decision status. Hope you heal up quickly," Emma said with a sympathetic smile. A nod was given about the dance. "I think we can manage that," the tall woman replied to the statement about getting in another dance later.

Once the dance ended, Emma would go and start to mingle, as the investors did expect to see team members and interact with them.

  Adam   picked up the fumble and ran,ahhh.. not offense.. i was  working on being 'in character  as the   Pilot?...  he offered his arm  and she  took it  as they headed to the wishing  well.

  Jers  . dressed as  any Alien  fighter pilot  with lizard-like    makeup on,watched   Adam  take the Lady to the wishing well,..and that's why the   dude can return kicks...
 he shakes His head  as  two    Guys with medals  come up and start  talking to him about the  upcoming  Titans.

....................

 Emma    saw  a  older man, rather  well groomed.. he  was  dressed like a British Colonial  SGT from Africa. White  helmet,   Red Tunic  and all.

Ben enjoyed dancing with Lu-Ti, but all too soon the dance was done and they had to be social.

"Yes, yes, I'm Ben Hope," he said to the younger Asiatics.

"Pleased to meet you. At the moment my horizon is the next game, but yes... it's likely that Japan is in my future. I have already started taking lessons in the language. For now I'm happy here, playing for the Dragons, but I won't be playing for ever. Then I shall have to make a living some other way. I like coaching youngsters, and Mr Amota is hoping to build up football as a sport in Japan, so there may be opportunities for me there."

 ..what you think  about this     Hospital ?   Does   Mr Amota  make difference?  or is it  just..another   hospital?.. we would  hate to invest..if it were not  doing  more  good?

Emma smiled at the older gentleman. "Thank you, and you've got it right. I'm Emma, good to meet you." She offered a hand to the man before getting herself a glass of water from one of the individuals walking around with such things.

"Well, I like to think we'll steal the headlines from most of the teams in the league, Mr. Needs. I assure you it isn't targetted at the Falcons in the slightest," she replied with a small grin. "So far, and I haven't been here as long as anyone else, Jacksonville has been a good football town. I come from Detroit, and the Lions have a pretty long and deep history there. I see a lot of that coming out in Jacksonville. They just needed something to take root. I like to think we're providing that for them," the woman replied.

"I can't say I've been to Atlanta yet myself though. Did you grow up in that area?" Emma asked the man before taking a sip of her own drink.

  Needs   smiles  and nods,..just about all my life?... we  came in there  when i was  small... 2?  3?.. I like the place... I like sports, but.. not a big BAseball fan.. I can't say that around alot of  my business  partners..half  of the meetings  are  at the stadium, then we  ..MUST.. watch the Braves...

 ..besides  my main company that deals is software, I have a fringe business... try to get semi-professional  leagues together  for fringe  sposts.. and using, whatever  coverage.. we can get to promote the athletes .. Swimming, Rowing.. Beach Volley ball.. weight lifting..Squah.. Lacross workign on Cycling..but they have thierown things.. so .... we throw names  at the Committie   to try to get some of  these  folks in the limelight... every one of them who  gets a name mentioned.. is worth like...another 100 athletes  for the ..'leagues"... hard to get folks  who  aren't just weekend  warriors though...
