Persephone: Alive! At the Nonah Dome

1. [ It's been a long tedious six months of playing clubs, but hey, that's what you get with sub par management. But tickets had been harder and harder to get ahold of recently, until finally, she's filling up an arena like she deserves.

The bigger crowd does nothing but enhance the power of her song, and the joy of it. Sure, she's singing in incomprehensible tongues about suffering, and rage, and damnnation. But here, like this, hearing it along with another few thousand of her biggest fans? It's transcendent. It's orgasmic. Her security staff is running a little thin, they hadn't realized just how many people in General Admission would be collapsing and fainting, and just how quickly. It's all they can do to clear out the incapacitated and keep the other kids from jumping in to take their place.

2. [ Backstage, the opening acts and their entourages (none of them imPorts) are mostly sticking to themselves. Persephone, on the other hand, has a Lucifer cosplayer to either side of her (a lithe girl makes a decent impression of her, the other is a muscular boy in a white suit. There's little actual resemblance there, but somehow he's making it work.) Persephone puts a pill on her tongue and kisses it into the girl's mouth.

Certainly no one would interrupt this tender moment.

I crashed my car into a bridge I DONT CARE

3. [ It's about one in the morning, on the road from New York state into Maurtia Falls, still a good ten or fifteen miles out. A bike is driving along the road, looking very much exactly like a normal ride until with absolutely no warning at all, the bike takes a deliberate hard left turn and crashes directly into the side of an overpass.

And then explodes.

It's so hard being perfect and adored

4. [ Here's the thing about Godhood, is that you just can't turn it off. You can try to dress discreetly, but you'll find yourself in purple leopard print. Put on shades and a hoodie, see if there's a way to get overlooked, but that's no good either. People are drawn to divinity, whether it's intentionally on display or not.

In Persephone's case (currently hung over, dehydrated, decaffeinated, and on the out with her normal coffee-fetcher) it is really, really, absolutely not intentionally on display. Whereas usually, she would be fine to indulge fans with her cryptic non-answers, and harmless hostility, today she is not in the fucking mood.

What part of fuck off do you think it's cute to ignore, huh!? Fuck! Off!!

Half an hour, at most. I don't want to seriously inconvenience people.
bindsthedead: (curious)

Yes. RISE field commander and Abhorsen, at your service.

[Sabriel inclines her head.]

And you're Persephone, right? The one with all the concerts?

You like it really sweet, don't you? [Not that Sabriel doesn't add sugar to her tea, but that's a lot of sugar.]

It seemed a better job for helping people than working in a graveyard, and Armstrong's not as bad as some people make her out to be.
bindsthedead: (art-cause for concern)

Not that odd. My duties back home involved dealing with Dead who tried to return to Life and necromancers who sought to raise the Dead for their own purposes, among other things.

[Sabriel shrugs.]

Besides, if RISE didn't exist we'd eventually have a bunch of local police armed with nullifiers doing the same job.

We're no one's property, and if the government expects Armstrong or any of RISE to enforce that, they're in for a surprise. [Sabriel's words are forceful.]

But there are some imPorts who don't care about who they hurt getting what they want, or who take pleasure in hurting people, or just think having power means they can whatever they want without consequences- and some are simply criminals who've been given power.

And if they just got away with it, we wouldn't be nearly so welcomed. It's best imPorts are seen policing their own.
