She joins the answering shout. "Hell yeah!"

Permalink

"Alright, let's hit it!" And she strums the first few chords on her guitar. 

Permalink

Rose steps up to the plate with a fusillade of fast rapping, and the song blurs past in a scream of chords. The lyrics of the set are about being the demons on the other end of the war Winged Serpent sang about, and recovering afterwards. 

Permalink

She gets surprisingly pensive and melancholic about the lyrics. War sucks. Even if simulated war can be fun. It feels painful and hopeful.

Permalink

Rose steps forward to sing about how it feels to be outcast for the urge to hurt others, about the instincts to cut, burn, control that her people were cast down for.

Scythe finishes the set with Her Wings.

Afterward, the singers step forwards off the stage and a merch table ports in. Rose takes a seat behind it, while Scythe talks to the crowd up close and personal.

"Want to meet the band?" asks Hannah.

Permalink

"You're a friend, right? I don't wanna push 'em, I know after a set sometimes I just want to disappear, so..."

Permalink

"I'm a friend," Hannah confirms. "With benefits."

Permalink

"Sure, let's meet them. I kind of want to hear more about that war, we don't have those much anymore, but that's for later."

Permalink

"Definitely don't bring it up if you want to stay on Rose's good side, she lost some people."

She slides out of her seat and leads the way towards Devilmachine.

Changeling follows behind Hannah smilingly. Not tipsy despite being several drinks in. Okay, just a little bit tipsy, but not showing it.

Permalink

Scythe looks up at them. "Hannah! Been an age, always great to see you at a show. Who's your date today?"

Permalink

Hannah smiles. "Scythe, Changeling, Changeling, Scythe. Changeling's from an uncontacted with some really cool technology, I've already told her about you a bit."

Permalink

She pouts a little at 'date'. But well, fair. That's an okay word for whatever this is.

"No-magic immortality is a damn big deal apparently~. That music gave me feels."

Permalink

"Yeah, I'll say. And thanks for the praise, it's always great to have another fan."

Permalink

"I'm not pro enough for a band and gigs, not to mention too much of a lazybones to rehearse consistently and keep to a gig schedule, but I do sing. Sorta curious how you guys know Hannah."

Permalink

"We met through the Rose Bowers - do you know of them?"

Permalink

"I've heard implicationy things about a 'Bower Enclave', so I can guess~"

Permalink

"Yeah, it's the world the Bower Enclaves try to emulate. Very fun. You should go sometime, Hannah can afford to take you I'm sure."

Permalink

"Think that's 'tween us, ain't so simple." She shrugs, still smiling.

Permalink

"Oh, yeah. Not everyone's up for that sort of thing. It's good at providing, but." She shrugs. "So what are you doing aside from seeing concerts?"

Permalink

"I'm still getting used to all the everything. There's tons and tons of new magic stuff to experience even before I get into stuff like the Rose Bowers, so I'm doing that. Gonna nerd out with a nerd friend, gonna figure out what to invest in when Hannah here finds my world, gonna keep trying new food, gonna hang out with cool people."

She idly activates the Takkarash minting necklace, without really thinking about it, halfway through this sentence; Her ears twitch but there's no other reaction.

Permalink

"Sounds like a great time. Now if you'll excuse me there's a bit of a line."

Permalink

"I can call you, right?"
