Fate Spins Along As It Should

A playlist for Baldur's Gate 3, following characters and events for the game.

Notes from the game, cover art from BG3 concept art.

Listen at Spotify.

Even more playlists here.

Tracklist and notes below the cut.

Help I'm Alive - Metric

Narrator: As you wake, the tadpole squirms in your skull.

Army Of Me - Bjork

Lae'zel: Who am I? Your only chance of survival. Now move. You are wasting time.

The Wolf - PHILDEL

Shadowheart: Most people fear the dark, like children, because in darkness they see their fears reflected. But Shar teaches us to step beyond fear. Beyond loss. In darkness we do not hide - we act.

Icarus - Bastille

Gale: "What if," I thought, "What if after all this time, I could return this lost part of herself to the goddess?" You know me. My gestures can never be grand enough.

The Devil Is A Gentleman - Merci Raines

Astarion: On my honour, the only thing on my mind is depraved, carnal lust.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) - Emily Browning

Dream Guardian: There is great potential in you. It comes from that parasite. Your instinct is to resist the power it gives, but you must accept it, nurture it. I will keep it from consuming you. But for the sake of both of us, you must learn to wield it.

I Am The Fire - Halestorm

Karlach: Avernus was never my home. It was my prison. I'm free now. AND I'M NEVER. GOING. BACK.

Woke Up A Rebel - Reuben and The Dark

Wyll: Gods damn her straight back to the Hells. Just look at me. I did what was right. And Mizora made me pay for it.

The Curse - Agnes Obel

Halsin: There is a terrible curse surrounding Moonrise Towers, a shadow curse that drains away all light and life. That place is where the cultists send their captives, to be infected. Innocents go in, True Souls come out.

Don't Fear The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

Gale: The truth is, I was living on borrowed time already. Consuming those items would only have kept the orb sated for so long. If anything, I feel more at peace than I have in months. At least I know my death will have purpose. It won't be a distant bang in the footnotes of history.

Queer - Garbage

Astarion: He had me go out into Baldur's Gate to fetch him the most beautiful souls I could find. It was a fun little ritual of his - I'd bring them back and he'd ask if I wanted to dine with him. And if I said yes, he'd serve me a dead, putrid rat. Of course if I said no, he'd have me flayed. Hard to say which was worse.

Wrong Side Of Heaven - Five Finger Death Punch

Lae'zel: Vlaakith! I have wielded your fury as a blade, roared your wrath as a dragon! You promised ascension, yet I crawl among my own people, low as an asp's belly. I followed your path. What good, this heart of stone, for it to be shattered?

Bad Moon Rising - Satin Puppets/Nxghtshade

Jaheira: I have every reason to be cautious. I've traced people like you, people with parasites in their brains, all the way here from Baldur's Gate. We tracked them to this ancient village only to be faced with a man we killed and buried over a century ago.

Goodbye - Ramsey

Karlach: Listen. You heard Dammon. There is no solution. It's Hell or bust. I choose bust.

Wicked Game - Boyce Avenue

Astarion: Look. I had a plan. A nice, simple plan. Seduce you, sleep with you, manipulate your feelings so you'd never turn on me. It was easy - instinctive. Habits from two hundred years of charming people kicked in. All you had to do was fall for it. And all I had to do was not fall for you. Which is where my nice, simple plan fell apart.

Losing My Religion - BELLSAINT

Shadowheart: I... I can't believe I just did that. Lady Shar will disown me.

Battlefield - SVRCINA

Dame Aylin: Our Lady of Silver. Hear me! She Who Guides, the Moonmaiden Selune, mother of the so-called Nightsong. THE NIGHTSONG IS NO MORE!

O Death - Bobby Bass/Lauren Paley/Colm R. McGuiness

Ketheric Thorm: Join the army of the dead, True Soul. Witness Lord Myrkul's glory!

In The Wind - Lord Huron

Halsin: Oliver is helping Thaniel to recover. They both lie dormant, like trees awaiting spring. I would like to return here someday - see Thaniel and Oliver again, in my meditations, or perhaps in person, if the Oak Father wills it. I hope he does.

Flesh And Bone - Black Math

Wyll: He returned to an unsuspecting city and a wayward son with a smirking devil at his side. I tried to tell him the truth, but my mouth couldn't form the words. I led him to the battlefield, but Mizora had swept it clean. I showed him my stone eye, but he only turned away. After, he said only one word. "Go."

Nothing Is As It Seems - Hidden Citizens/Ruelle

The Emperor: Before you do anything, I am your ally.

Red Right Hand - Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

Duke Ravenguard: Enver Gortash. The Council appoints you Archduke of Baldur's Gate.

I Will Not Bow - Breaking Benjamin

Lae'zel: Forsake one protocol and forsake Vlaakith. Forsate Vlaakith, and be the blood and meat which sates her dragons. If Voss speaks true, if ascension is a lie, if tadpole purification is a fairy tale, then I have not sinned against Vlaakith. She has sinned against me.

Broken Mirror - Trees of Eternity

Astarion: Back at the ritual, all I could see was the power on offer and the safety it promised. I was so blinded by it. Just as Cazador was. You saved me from myself and let me walk a new path where I can be free. Truly, honestly free.

Three - Sleeping At Last

Gale: I've work ahead of me before I'll feel myself truly redeemed of the damage I caused. But I intend to try.

Mind Games - Sickick

The Emperor: I studied you. Your motivations, your actions, your desires. I deduced the best way to align your goals with my own. I anticipated the challenge, and I anticipated your resistance. What I didn't anticipate was how much I would enjoy your company. Your mind.

Hamsters - King Missile

Minsc: I have no idea what any of that was about. But we shall simply - GAH! Boo, why do you gnaw at my soft parts? I am trying to... *urgent squeaking* Once again? In smaller words? *SQUEAK!* I see.

Soldier - Fleurie

Jaheira: You twine your life around the people you love. And when they are gone, you grow around their absence instead. Which is my sage way of saying I am in no danger of forgetting how my husband died. But I choose to remember how he lived.

I Come With Knives - IAMX

Orin: Did it think it could protect? Did it think it could save? Only the blades can offer salvation.

Never Look Away - Vienna Teng

Shadowheart: She's as much a part of who I am as Jenevelle. I can't just forget her, that's not what I do anymore. Besides, Shadowheart still suits me - even better than before, perhaps. You can't cast a shadow without some light.

Heroes - Mans Zelmerlow

Wyll: When I left the city, my father saw only a boy carrying the stench of the Hells. Now, he sees the man I made of myself.

Raphael's Final Act - Boris Slavov

Raphael: It is said that hope is a fine breakfast, but a poor supper. Well, the shadows grow long, and the hour is late. It's suppertime.

King Nothing - Metallica

Gortash: I'm not here for games. Hand me the stones, or face the black hand of Lord Bane.

Legends Never Die - Against The Current

Karlach: I'm dying. My heart feels like a live grenade - gonna blow any minute. If this is the end for me, let me be the motherfucker who saved the world.

Seven Devils - Florence + The Machine

Narrator: You feel it - a sudden shift. The brain is weakening, its grasp of self slipping. This is your chance.

First Light - Hozier

Astarion: I can't say what the future holds for us, but I know we'll be facing it together. And we're going to have a lot of fun.

Hetalia Character Theme Songs - Playlist

Spotify and Youtube links to full playlist are at bottom of the post!

I am living in 2014, man. My friends and I have also been working on our own version of this, which I will eventually post, but I'm warning you now that some of the songs here and there will overlap!

I stuck to characters I grew up knowing decently,,, okay and have a decent idea of how others characterized them through song. Some songs are based more on canon, others fanon, and some are... I can't explain. Vibes??

I'm also trying to avoid songs I saw overused for characters in the 2010-2016 era of theme song videos. Which means no "Fairytale" by Alexander Rybak for Norway and no "Viva la Vida" for England.

I will make an explanations post in a reblog!

Happyiness does exist.

Finally met my favourite band, Halestorm. Got the M&G ticket, which was also quite cheap compared to some packages out there (I am looking at you Babymetal....) and I swear, this has been the happiest day of my life.

I've been listening to them for 10+ years, and I daydreamed about this day forever.

I was 18 when they came back to Italy in 2015-16, but I was totally broke, alone, unable to go there and also having several issues related to my disability.

I saw them later in Oct 2018 during th Vicious tour, and that concert has been insanely good, but wasn't able to talk to them or take pictures together.

And now, this happened thanks to my own will to live, to be loud, strong and be happy on my own skin and showcasing my drawing abilities.

Thank you Halestorm, I love you deeply.

Also, the username of this tumblr+my art tumblr are actually Halestorm songs - Black Vultures and Skulls, from the album Vicious (2018).

I wanted to do a meet cute...so I did. Grog also doesn't have a ton of content, so why not?

A music reference:

Warning(s): Swearing, drinking, references to seedy activities

Today was a good day for Grog. He cracked some skulls with his best buddy, Pike, and got paid for cracking said bandit skulls. How much gold came their way was not his concern unless there was not enough for ale. Thankfully, with how happy Vex was after the job ale was definitely by the barrel tonight. As he and his adventuring companions darkened the doorway of the local tavern, the post job drinking could begin.

“Calm yourselves people,” Scanlan proclaimed with his usual flair, “Vox Machina is back.”

A few eyes glanced in the direction of the party only to swiftly return to their drinks and company.

The gnome scoffed before offering a shrug to the party, “Guess they need a song to loosen up.”

While the rest of the party settled to find a booth large enough to cover their shenanigans, Scanlan made a b-line for the bar hopping onto a barstool to avoid the constant gnome overlook. The goliath snatched up a chair for his usual perch at the head of the table. The subtle groan of the wood under his weight typical of chairs not made for his stature.

"Extorting an extra 10 percent from the merchant seemed a bit much, Vex." Keyleth opined towards the raven haired ranger who merely shrugged her shoulders.

"He didn't mention his carts were full of jewelry to try to get us for cheap. We still protected his goods and he gave us extra to keep quiet."

The once quiet conversation at the bar began to crescendo over the tavern chatter.

"I'm sorry, if you would've come sooner you would've had a spot,"

The white haired man at the table lifted his glasses slightly to pinch the bridge of his nose, "Grog, go get Scanlan before he gets us thrown out. Haven't even had our drinks yet for Peylor's sake."

With a screech of wood against wood, the barbarian rose to his full height and lumbered to the bar where the gnome was still fuming.

"You're telling me this tavern is already booked up for the night."

"On entertainment, yes." The human innkeeper replied, "I'm sure we have space tomorrow."

"You're kidding. I know I'm a bit banged up, but I'm Scanlan Shorthalt. Played in every tavern in Emon."

"I'm sorry, sir. The last performance of the night isn't due for a bit. If they don't show up or they back out I'm sure you could take their spot."

That seemed to change the bard's tune.

"Alright, I could see about it. What can you tell me about em?"

The innkeeper furrowed his brow, "Gave me the name Lea. Not from around these parts should be over in the corner. Ale and firewater."

With a slight jerk of the head, Scanlan and his large shadow glanced to see an odd pair on the other end of the tavern. The first appeared to be male. His cobalt blue scales dulled in the ambient light as a taloned hand plucked up his glass sipping as his companion placed her tankard on the table before getting up. She appeared to have the same build as the half elvish twins lithe, yet held a thin layer of muscle that hinted at a human parentage. The scaled man nodded to his companion as she excused herself.

"Alright, Grog. Good guard bad guard alright?" Scalan clarified, his large companion finally tearing his gaze from the woman. Was it the post job rush or the long stretch between outings to the lady favor houses with Scalan? Could be both.

Despite his smaller stature, Scanalan approached his target taking the open seat next to the scaled man, the gnome propping up his elbow on the bar top.

“Can I help you?” The scaled man ventured, his voice rumbling in his chest.

“Maybe you could, my good man.”

The scaled man's gaze drifted over the gnome before return returning to his drink, “I'll pray for you.”

Scanlan's melodic chuckle rang, “Appreciate it, but I was wondering if you wouldn't mind being bumped on the gig tonight. Gives you a chance to rest up. So how's about it?”

“Who's your friends, Aeron?”

“Dunno, the small one seems to be one of your people.”

The woman perked up a bit returning to her stool, “Ah, another performer? What's your poison?”

Showtime, Scanalan. The gnome combed his fingers through his locks and pulling out his trademark grin, “Scanlan Shorthalt, adventurer and performer by day, and the name every maiden cries at night.”

The woman chuffed a laugh, “Is that before or after the cackling at the slumber party?”

The gnome arched his brow, not bad.

“Hittin' hard right out the gate, but I gotta chat with Lea to see if he'll let a crowd favorite close for the night.”

The woman and Aeron shared a look with stifled laughter before breaking away.

“Yeah, about that.”

The woman extended a hand to the gnome with a grin, “Lesona Lend. Everyone calls me Lea.”

The gnome took her hand for a brief shake, but Lesona's gaze drifted up, “and what about you, biggin? You got a name?”

The goliath looked down at the half-elf. Her eyes were...really green.

“Grog..”

There was a strange flutter in his stomach when her smile grew.

“Hey barkeep, can we get a round for me and my friends here?”

After she retracted her hand, she took a sip from her ale. The next round on the way.

“So adventurers, right? I'm sure there's some stories in there.”

The pair of bards began their dance of trading stories. Grog mostly listened to the back and forth. Scanlan was starting with the boring stuff like usual until someone else would mention bigger monsters. He was on the story about their group slaying an undead giant when Lea smirked.

“Not bad, slinging spells and such,” she took a swing from her drink and planted her hand on the counter leaning forward, “I had a storm giant who fancied himself a critic. Changed his tune rather quick when I decked 'im.”

“No fuckin' way.”

“Fuckin' way, biggin. Aeron was there.”

Aeron parted from his glass, “It was stupid and she expected me to heal her then broken hand so she could still play.”

Lea's laughter brought that strange feeling again. Maybe he was just sick? Might be worth asking Pike later.

“Ms. Lend?”

The woman bard plucked up her instrument. Her fingers skating over the frets.

“That's my cue. Let me know what you guys think,” She turned to flash a grin, “and if you're around after my set I'd love to keep swapping stories.”

The walk back to their party was uneventful for the pair, yet when Grog dropped into his chair the wood groaned loudly in protest. Taking note of their party's muscle being strangely silent, Vax's gaze dropped to Scanlan.

“What's with him?”

Scanlan huffed jerking a thumb to the stage, “Bard fluttered her eyes at him.”

Pike followed Scanlan's gesture studying the woman on stage warming up before she began playing, “She...doesn't seem so bad.”

“She's a bard. She-”

“She knows most of your tricks, so she doesn't fall for it.” Vex chimed in after coming up from her tankard.

His companions' voices were drowned out with the opening chords of Lea's performance.

[arnold-layne]

Steamin' back again. I'd love to hear about your bands dude, fire away

ok im sorry this took me a while this week was hellish

ok so! i think 5 is too restrictive, i have the space here so im gonna list all of them <3

my chemical romance. yeah i am late for my teen angst phase it never really ended but hey better late than never. i was familiar with the black parade before but this year also got into danger days and revenge thanks to @emometalhead and @glamourizedcocaine who blogged about them so obsessively i just had to check out more of their stuff <3

the warning. i am eternally thankful to @sodalitefully for the rec because this shit slaps HARD. incredible all-female band from Mexico which is critically underrated and which yall should check out <3 it gave me a song that's an exact match for one of my daydreaming scenarios. like, its actually uncanny how well it matches it, given the situation there is pretty specific. not that im complaining tho

SCARLET. this is....an Experience. brings out my primal instincts to kill and maim and destroy and bite and bark :) last time i was able to log on spotify, their most popular song had like 1k listeners which is a goddamn SHAME. p.s. im talking about a swedish metal duo whose most recent album is obey the queen. they're also wearing this skull paint. apparently there's a lot of scarlets out there

Green Apelsin. for the first time in my life i fell hard and fast for a russian musician, and it's not even rock, more like acoustic guitar ballads with incredible vocals. huge folk vibe, just fills you with Toska™.

shinedown! i have to thank @emometalhead for this again, she's got god's taste in music. hard and fast and energetic, you just want to headbang to it

halestorm! ive been a huge fan for a few years now, and they released a fantastic new album this april so naturally i became obsessed again. lzzy hale's voice is how it feels to get absolutely ravaged by a hot tattoo-covered lesbian in a gay bar toilet. well i think it does. will report when i have the experience

evanescence. yeah i don't know what year it is either. but i do know i have a thing for female vocals

just recently (re)discovered fall out boy :)

[antlerquccn]

sentence starter from halestorm’s album vicious . change to fit as you see needed. potentially nsfw themes.

Feels like the end of the world but it's only the beginning of it all

Feels like the end of the world

It's only the beginning of it all

Been a survivor since I began to crawl

I don't give in, I don't give up I won't ever let it break me

I'll forever be the last one standing

I'm not defeated

I'm holding on and hanging by a thread

You haven't seen the last of me just yet

I'm falling down but I'm not out I'm coming back for more

I'm still alive

You all can wait for me to die

Just another empty skull

Make up another lie

Believe what you want

I won't shut my mouth and take it

I won't be another empty skull

I will give you something beautiful

Filling their empty lungs with the wrong kind of drugs

Baby what have we become

I did it cause I wanna and I did it cause I'm gonna

I did it just because I can

I did it cause it makes me feel so good

I did it because fuck "the man"

I did it cause I'm drunk and I did it yea so what

I'm just one of the boys

I did it all to break every single preconceived notion that you have

I did it all to shake every single one of your emotions

I love to make you uncomfortable

I do it cause I love it 

I want some more of it 

I do it cause you said I can't

I know you don't like it when I open up and talk about sex

I do it cause you hate me

I do it cause the whole damn world's gone crazy and fuck it man, this is the end

Why you wanna bring me down?

I did it all to shake every single one of your emotions and just to make you uncomfortable

I do admit, I've come to like the attention

I get a fuzzy feeling washing over me

Is it love? 

Is it love or the drugs?

I think we should make out

There's a pretty safe bet you'll never see me again

I wonder what it'll sound like when you cum

There's a king size bed but we can do it on the floor

And if I were you I'd bring your girlfriend too

Let's take our clothes off I wanna show you my hidden tattoo

Take all your clothes off

I'm conflicted and addicted

So come over and make up my mind

You're looking really really good tonight

I bet you wore that just to blow my mind

I was thinking maybe I should kiss you but no

You were really really good last night

I was thinking maybe just one more wouldn't hurt

Here we are killing ourselves to live

We're going down with this ship

If this is our last trip at least we'll go together

Hang on 'til the morning

I'm not ashamed to give into desire

You made me tough, you made me numb

I am unafraid of being me

So say hello to the monster that you made

Now because of you I've got a heart of Novocaine

You never knew the real me

Now I'm angry and you wonder why

Once you had me but you lost me now

Thank you for the pain, thank you for the hate. Thank you for the way that you left me scarred

Nothing can hurt me like you did anymore

You numb the pain, you're blowing my mind like a painkiller

I'm not afraid about where I fit into the frame

I'll never be all of the things that you need me to be

I'm not the girl in the white dress I'm not your fairytale princess

I'm not your fairytale princess

Some day you'll know the reason why

I'm embracing my darkness

I'm really sorry that I let you down

I'm still gonna make you proud

It might be a hard truth but it's not about you

I don't hold it against you, you're allowed to be you

I'm sorry that I made you cry

You make me vicious

I like to take the knife and twist it

I can take all that you can give

I am not afraid, bring the pain

I'm not asking for forgiveness

I don't care if you'll hate me

What doesn't kill me makes me vicious

I will always be with you

That nothing will ever be like when we were twenty-three

I can kiss a girl and wear my boots to bed

I don't have to pretend to be something I'm not

You can't make me feel guilty for just being myself

I don't care if I ever see you again!

I'm a loser, baby

I'm a good excuse for all your bad habits

It's all just a trick in your mind

I used to believe your love, I used to believe in you

You made me believe I'm dumb, that I'm nothing without you

I'm fuckin golden

You say all of the things I could never say

Did you get my letter

I've been sober for [insert number] years today

Did you get my letter if not, there's one on the way

You saved my life in every way

[verlie-redlocke]

[ Play ] - Cass

one summer's day

tw: reluctant teenage vampire donors, general ick surrounding teenagers being fed upon, & blood.

spring before Cass goes to Hogwarts, Verlie (16) Cass (10)

Verlie laid herself down beside Cass, careful not to pant into his ear even as her limbs shook and quaked under her weight. The girl let herself settle into the blankets, curling up tight around herself, breathing out through her nose in order to stop her head from spinning.

The party had been raging, and Verlie had lost track of the laps she'd been transferred to, the arms wound around her, the tune's she'd been swayed to.

Worse still there was blood drying on her neck, soaking into the thin collar of her dress, flaking off the back of her ear, and dribbling from punctures in her cheeks.

The teenager sighed, willing the world to halt for just a moment. She wasn't entirely sure how she'd ended up at the Halestorms, only that she'd been deposited outside of Cass's door and been pushed inside. The ten-year-old was fast asleep, curled around a blanket and snoring.

Verliad lay awake, the adrenaline of the Feeding still thrumming through her used body, watching the sun slowly rise in the sliver of the blackout curtains when Cass began to wake, blinking blearily at her, rubbing away the sleep from his eyes.

He was taller, growing every week they were apart. No longer just the little boy who toddled after her and licked the blood from her forever-healing puncture wounds.

"V?" Cass's voice had the cadence of a child, and the teenager roped an arm around him, tucking his head against her neck. He could smell the blood, feel the thin dress she'd laid down in, his little fingers finding the holes and ripping, the edges stained in brown blood. It'd be thrown away by afternoon, a new one presented, a blood-replenishing potion poured down her throat as she was sent away for bathing and pampering before that night's event.

But at this moment Verlie hummed, sliding her fingers through Cass's dense curls. She didn't want to think about the party tonight, or the waltzes she'd do, the hands on her neck and opening her veins for a little taste.

She let her fingers strum notes on Cass's skull, dancing between the curls and locks, lulling him into a state of half-sleep.

"Want me to play you a song? It's too early for you to be awake." Cass nodded, still mute in the grey morning and Verlie rose from the bed, leaving stains behind as if she'd gotten her monthlies. Her bags were left outside the door, the wooden case holding a violin she'd been told to use that night though she preferred her cello or the piano.

"I went to a muggle theater last week," Verlie whispered, "and they were playing this wonderful cartoon from Japan," she settled on the edge of Cass's bed, the boy sitting up, tucking his scrawny knees to his chest, "it was about this girl who was spirited away to another world and her adventures working as an indentured slave."

The boy's eyes were wide like galleons, sparkling as she lifted the violin to her neck, testing the strings with a slide of her bow.

"I spent hours trying to find this song on that blasted Interwebs the Muggles used... but I loved the tune..." lifting the violin to her neck Verlie closed her eyes, "I think you'd love the film, Cass, there was even a train there, like the one that takes you to Hogwarts."

It'd been all he was talking about, week in and week out, Hogwarts-Hogwarts-Hogwarts. So close and yet so far, it was probably going to be the last Spring she spent with Cass

"Don't make fun of me, okay, I've only played it twice..." Verlie set her fingers on the frets and began to play.

autumn 2020

Verlie looked over the piano, it stood grand in the manor, covered in a light layer of dust. Unplayed though, as Verlie peeked into the insides, not out of tune. Verlie settled herself onto the velvet seat and opened up the keyboard, letting her fingers dance over the keys, but not touching them.

"You auditioning for the band?" Cass lounged over the edge of the stairs, swathed in a silk robe Verlie had brought him from Japan, all cherry blossoms and swirling leaves.

"As if I'd join your subpar teen bitchfest," Verlie retorted, but let her fingertips stroke the ivories, had she been human a sneeze would build in her nose. But an impermanent death meant a lack of bodily functions like breathing, though thankfully arousal still existed, the evidence of such lying a floor above her head swaddled in silk and velvet, snoozing the night away. Verlie had left the girl with bites and rope burns, but kissed away each hurt and slathered them with healing lotions, tucking her safety to bed and with assurances of her good work.

Verlie couldn't admit to loving, but she took care of her pets, and the one above her head deserved a diamond collar and nothing less than her weight in platinum.

Cass sat beside her, the arch of his back so lovely a painter might've asked for a posing shot. Each of his curls sticking out of place, his skin beset with acne from a previous binge of ice cream, but it didn't do much but highlight the excellent bone structure and how pretty his skin would be once he used the face creams she'd brought him from Paris.

"What are you going to play?" he ventured, tilting her head to her fingers still ghost dancing over the keys.

"I don't play much piano anymore."

"Doesn't mean you should not play, you sat here didn't you?"

Verlie did, and with a breath she tapped on a set of keys, the tone clear and high, ringing through the room. Carefully she picked her way through the song, the musical notes playing like a record in the back of her head, she let her eyes close, touching the ivory keys with a gentleness she'd forgotten she was able to give.

Cass let out a punch of air from his chest.

"I know this song--" Verlie shushed him, but he persisted, "You played me this, with a violin, when I was still a kid..."

So long ago, when the days blurred and time nonexistent. Verlie played through, keeping her eyes closed. The song used to play during the Feedings and dances, through the opened doors and closed blackout curtains, it sang in her brain as she was laid out on couches opening herself open with a little knife. It had rung when Cass left for Hogwarts, on a train far away, and Verlie while he'd been getting sorted was at a mixer, sitting on a stool auctioning away a bottle of her finest red, finally mature, made 5 years previously.

"It's from a film," Verlie said, "it's the Disney of Japan," she opened her eyes as the last of the notes fell off her fingertips, "I watched it a dozen times when I stayed in Tokyo, maybe a hundred." She let out a rattled breath, still instinct. "We should watch it, make it a double date?" She offered Cass a grin who stood disgusted and shaking his mane of curls.

"Oh fuck off about a date--”

Verlie snapped, "We treat our Doners well Cass, that's what makes us better. So we’ll take them on a movie date, it’s cliche, but they deserve it a bit don’t they?" Didn’t they deserve it, a touch of softness, a shred of something beyond base primal instinct to rut, orgasm and lie gasping. Beyond their own sustenance. Verlie closed the piano, dust flying up, "Go check movie times for Spirited Away, I'll charter us a jet if I have to." That bottle she'd sold at 16 cemented her promise as luxury donor, and the payouts still came, if reluctantly from the Redlocke's accounts into her own. Her blood by the barrelful, poured all over the world, the gold lining her pockets, made even more expensive by her permenant removal from the Redlocke rotation. 

"I'll wake my pet, go wake your toy, we're going out." 

The morning sun peaked through the windows, and Verlie tugged the blackout curtains closed with a snap.
