Requiem's Ideal World run #1

It's dark... and a little cold.

Oh. You have a text-- wonder what that's about?

...

...

?

Hey, there's some junk in here that's not in the right spots. Take a good look around and fix that jazz. Everything's got a place or whatever.

No sense in hiding from yourself, right?

... what is this, a text for ants?

Nemesis flushes a little deeper at that, still a little awkwardly nervous but possibly the good kind for once. "Uh, okay. Cool." She shifts, running her thumb over the back of their joined hands.

She doesn't move for a long moment, just squeezing your hand and leaning towards you.

And she hesitates a moment before gently bumping her head to yours. "... should probably get ready."

Nemesis hums acknowledgement, though does not attempt to move away. "Should make sure I got a good seat. Can I...?" And she gently raises a hand to touch Req's face, leans in closer.

She blinks, but doesn't move, letting you do whatever.

"--Yeah?"

And she leans in for a kiss, lips gentle and hand warm against her cheek.

!!

She meets you for that eagerly, but keeps it gentle, squeezing your hand.

She doesn’t push, just savoring the lingering warmth; the faint taste of food(?) on Req’s lips. When it breaks, she only noses in for an Eskimo kiss instead.

“...You really up for this show?”

She hums, comfortably warm, and nuzzles you back.

"Yeah... I'll be fine. Everyone's already here anyway."

“Okay. I’ll catch you after then, if that’s okay.”

She looks to the other flower she brought—-is it still a rosebud or has it somehow become something else?

It's still a rosebud!

She hesitates a moment. "Sure-- are you gonna watch...?"

"Course." She takes the rose and tucks it behind Req's ear (the thorns having been disposed of). "You mind?"

She blinks, confused for a moment. ... but her cheeks darken, and she hunches her shoulders a little, touched and a little embarrassed.

"No-- 'course not. I want you here," she says, giving your hand one last squeeze and your cheek a soft kiss before she pulls away to stand, grabbing one of the outfits off of the closet rack.

"Okay." She scratches her nose and just watches Req before getting to her feet--grabbing the satchel again. "...Guess I should leave you to it. So--break a leg, I guess."

She turns to smile back at you.

"See you out there."

Nods, slow, then makes to leave backstage, to head for a good spot in the venue.

You find a pretty good spot, as some fans make way for you with a smile and a gesture, over here over here.

As Requiem ascends the stage with her bass not long after, with some new digs, it seems like the concert's about to start.

She settles with the others as the music opens. She keeps mostly quiet throughout the show, hands knotting in the strap of her bag as she listens intently to the music--attempts to catch the lyrics.

I mean, it's mostly love songs.

She's not shy about making eye contact with you, though, grinning as she plays.

Yes, but the type of love song is also important. Nemesis looks a little anxious through the first couple tracks, though by the end her expression has softened considerably, especially at the sweet rendition of Can't Help Falling In Love With You. She keeps her head bowed a little, though Requiem may recognize it as Nem's habit of trying to hide embarrassment behind her hair.

When the final notes fade away, she applauds and cheers as much as anyone.

To be fair to me I didn't actually organize those tracks in any particular order.

But Req steps back from the mic, bass in hand, to bow-- blow a few kisses to the crowd, maybe-- as she starts walking backwards towards backstage and bidding goodbye to the gatherers.

People mill around for a while longer, chatting excitedly-- a few people even nudge you with a playful "Lucky girl!" as they wander by. You even see Ashley and Man Eater laughing together, and they pause to give you a little wave as they start to head off.

She is always a little nervous when it comes to Requiem anyway...though generally charmed enough for it to even out.

More importantly, for now she smiles back at the well-wishers, and gives Man Eater & Ashley a friendly nod back; just appreciates the fans' reception to the concert for a bit, proud at Req's performance. But she heads backstage before too long, eager to get Req's take.

When you head backstage she's sitting on the desk again, tying her hair up and back-- but pauses when she sees you to drop it, grinning and standing.

"Hey! I was hoping you'd come back here again. How'd you like it? Was it good?"

"It's always good. You were awesome." Nemesis approaches, smiling as well. "How'd you like it? Was it fun?"

"'Course it's fun. Music's like, totally my life's calling."

She beckons you closer, hands outstretched.

"Mmm, well, lucky for us, you answered." Doesn't hesitate, going to Req's arms to wrap her own around Req's waist.
