SEBASTIAN: Is violence ever the answer?
"Yes but only when all other means have been exhausted. When you're being suppressed and ignored and treated as 2nd class sometimes it's the only language your enemy speaks."

"I thought we didn't do gifts." Briana commented as she lifted the box to look at it. Carefully turning it over she tried to listen for any clues as to what it might be.
"Well I can only assume it's not food." She joked darkly given her particular diet. "New headphones? Uh... sheet music? Fuck I don't know I'm shit at this."

Jessica recognised the woman from a couple of weeks ago. She had been at the bar, laughing while doing shots and tossing bar snacks into Caesarâs mouth, when music had suddenly started emanating from the piano in the corner of the room. It hadnât been a song that she recognised, but even in her inebriated and jovial state she had been able to tell that it was beautiful. That she felt something when she heard it.
âHey, I remember you,â she started, sliding into the seat next to the other. âI heard you play the piano a while back. You were incredible.â
(( @bean-damnaitheâ ))
-
Briana looked round when she heard someone talk to her. Hearing the woman say she recognised her she was confused for a moment until she realised where from. âOh. Yeah well, I play professionally plus Iâm a vampire so iâve had more than a few years of practice.âÂ
It was always strange being recognised. After so long hiding behind a mask it was strange to just be out there in the open. âIâm actually thinking of doing a gig in the new year.â

Abby brightened at the question. âOh yeah, definitely,â she said with a grin. âI love a good party. Weed, alcohol, sex, and music ⌠itâs great. Even if the party is lame I still find a way to have fun.â She glanced sidelong at Briana. âYou know of any good parties coming up?â
-
âWell that certainly depends. You ever been to a vampire party?â Briana asked. They were always crazy and she wouldnât invite just anyone but the girl was psychic which meant she was made of heartier stuff anyway.Â

âWell ⌠weâll see,â Cassandra said, not sure she entirely believed her, but willing to try anything once. If it helped her in some way, she was interested. Anything that would get her to her goal was welcomed.
-
âIâm sure. Youâll have to excuse me though. Itâs getting late and as you can imagine the night calls.â Briana wanted to grab a light snack before she headed home. âIt was nice to meet you, even if your lack of music is a little disturbing.â

Marcus nodded along a little as she spoke. While he didnât understand the way that world worked, what she said did make sense. âDid you ever want to do something else?â he asked, always fascinated with people who had always known what they wanted to do with their lives.Â
-
âFor the longest time getting âto do somethingâ wasnât in the cards. I was a woman who was alone throughout the centuries. I didnât remember my sire so I didnât have someone to take care of me. A lot of my time was spent fighting to adapt and survive. A profession wasnât really something I thought about for a long time so when I did I went with my heart.â

âMaybe I could come stay at your place every once in a while. Make it feel not so fucking huge and lonely.â Other than the offer to stay with him, it was the least that he could do. The fact that it seemed she could get what she needed delivered and made in Faerune did put him a little more at ease. Ever since theyâd first met all those many years ago, he never had liked the thought of her in that place. âI know, but youâre the closest thing I have to a family. Family protects family.â
-
Briana looked over at him. Family protects family. Benji was probably the only person who saw Briana that way. Even people she had sired had gone and left unable to put up with her. While they werenât always in the same city when they were the two always looked out for each other. Benji had always reminded Briana of someone. With a mind too scrambled to remember, she hoped it was family. âMaybe just a night or two. Just until the stuff gets here?â

âOh, yeah, definitely,â Abby said with a nod. âIâve got my siblings and my best friend Colton. Iâve met this new girl Mia, too. Theyâre all really good for my mental health. I like to blow off steam at parties, too. It helps.â
-
âGood. Iâm glad. Those of us that carry heavy mental burdens need people around us who can carry some of the weight when we need it. Not that what we experience is similar but you get my point.â Briana waved her hand as it to brush off the topic. âSo youâre a party girl?â

âMy regiment is very strict,â Cassandra said, not mentioning that it was her fatherâs regiment that she kept out of obedience to him. âIf I find a moment ⌠maybe Iâll try it.â She knew she couldnât at home, her father would surely hear it, but maybe while she was at work or walking about the town.
-
âI can promise you that with the right song, your whole life can change. Music is transformative. Itâs the only thing that helps me collect my thoughts.â Hearing that someone was living without music in their life was awful. She actually felt sorry for the young woman.

âAnd you love me for itâ they smiled back. âDonât worry if itâs not interesting Iâll make it interesting. I know for a fact that at least one person has died at the address I was given.â they said as they started to walk. âyou really think this whole thing is interesting?â they turned to walk backwards for a brief moment, gesturing to the construction going on behind them. âSure it was a little bit of a thrill when it happened, but then it stopped and became boring againâ
-
âOh you wish.â Briana replied barely keeping a smile from her lips. âIs your way of making it interesting adding to that number of dead people?â She joked. âOf course I think itâs interesting. The earthquake is a curiosity. The fact it was localised is fascinating. You forget I fought in the war to call this place our home. You younger lot are use to having Faerune. Itâs interesting because thereâs a possibility this is old tensions spiking again. Are you ready to go to war? I havenât held a sword in a good century but Iâm willing to give it a go.â

Korra was late to her shift, but what else was new. She hoped someone might have covered for her but the manager seemed to anticipate this happening and she could already see 5 missed calls from the venue. âYou know itâs times like these that I wish my magic was strongerâ the faerie frowned her nose looking at her phone. âYou donât happen to, like, have a car or something to get me to Birch Bar soon?â she raised her eyebrows slightly at the person she was talking to. âOr I mean if not, maybe⌠give me a distraction so I donât even have to go?â Korraâs shoulders raised lightly, wouldnât be the worse of the ideas to skip the whole work thing and have a bit of fun.

âNever bothered learning to drive. Okay thatâs a lie. I have a bike licence. Honestly I didnât think the car would take off like it did. I figured people would get bored of it or annoyed by the amount of noise it made. I prefer horses. Who doesnât love a mode of transportation thatâs happy to see you in the morning. I use to have this black steed. Caiteoir. It means wanderer.â Briana finally caught that she was rambling a little. âOh shit sorry werenât you suppose to be going to work?â

âDo you want to stay here for a little while?â Benji asked, âsee if you hear things here too?â he moved to the kitchen to grab some blood and set it down on the coffee table. She hadnât asked for any, but he brought it anyways just incase. âCould you get any of the medication you need out here or something from a witch that might work?â he asked as he settled down on one of the chairs, his legs hanging off an arm rest. âYou donât have to go back, I can - I can take care of you.âÂ
-
Briana reached for the blood without even thinking, mumbling a small thank you. âI donât want to intrude. You have your own life. Plus itâs my own fault for having such a huge fucking house. I know what it is. Itâs always what happens when Iâm alone. Itâs like my brain fills in the space. Pulls things from my past but I donât always know who it is and itâs him again and I donât... I donât remember.â She drank her blood down before setting it aside. âIâll be fine. Iâm fine. I just... Iâll call them, have things sent over. I can get the potion ingredients sent over too so I can get my next dose from someone in Faerune.â Briana pulled a little on her dark hair, the dull pain distracting her from her thoughts for a moment. âYou know how bad I get Benji... I canât put that on you.â

âDo you have a favorite era?â he asked âeither that you performed during or just to listen to?â he asked âSorry if Iâm asking too many questions, Iâm just really interested. Iâm still new to this whole world, so itâs still kind of mind blowing even after a few years that thereâs people who have lived hundreds and hundreds of yearsâ
-
âHonestly? Iâm not sure I could pick. Each era had itâs pros and cons. Each era brings with it genres and new ways to perform. Did the money get better? Sure. Is it disappointing less artists are singing live? Absolutely. The industry changes with time. Thereâs always something new to discover.â

âIt only lasts for so long,â Abby admitted. âI havenât figured out a way to keep them locked up forever. I have to feel everything eventually. Itâs just better to feel it when Iâm not at work. Itâs bad for business if people walk in on me crying my eyes out.â
-
âYeah Iâm pretty sure that wouldnât be considered a good thing in any profession.â She was an interesting young woman but psychics always were in Brianaâs opinion even if their existence did cause her some personal pain. âWell I certainly hope you have people around you who are a good support system.â

Cassandra smirked faintly. âI donât really listen to music other than when I meditate,â she admitted. âMany spells take concentration and music can be a hinderance rather than a help in a lot of cases. The last thing I need is to lose an arm because I stumbled over my words.â
-
âSo thatâs all you do? Meditate and cast spells? Seems a little unfulfilling. Music should be injected wherever you can. When youâre making breakfast. When youâre driving to work. When youâre having sex. Maybe you should consider trying it. Just when you have a moment to yourself. When you want to feel something. Find a song. Play it. Lose yourself in it.â

âIt takes more than an earthquake to make me curiousâ They replied, smirking a little as they noticed the way she stood up a little straighter at their mention of the blood party. âSomewhere in town. I have the address written down somewhere or another. I think theyâre more frowned upon than anything. Of course I could be wrong, keeping up with legalities has never been a personal priority. Besides, isnât it more fun if it isnât completely legal?â
-
âYouâre such a bad influence.â She smiled at them before rolling her eyes. âAlright fine. Take me to this blood party. It better be damn interesting though since you so uncurious about the only interesting thing to have happened since I got back.â
