HYPED BEYOND WORDS to have Death by Loyalty in my game for this special crossover!!! Thank you so much @maiawe.bsky.social for trusting me with your babies ❤️ It was an honor 🥹

It was annoying to others, and beautiful pandemonium for creative teenagers on the cusp of adulthood.

Their booth was a riot of activity. There was yelling -both laughter filled & argument fueled. Random outbreaks of songs. Stealing food from one another -or throwing it, someone always seemed to be trying to climb across the table, & the general chaos of too many young people in one small place.

Even Elliot and Jagger were talking like normal people -to one another at least. Jagg probably would have hit it off with Isaac more, considering they were both such music nerds, if not for the fact one blonde was simply too much for the other to handle for an extended period of time.

That ‘rival’ band, by the way? Had sucked unwashed ass. So, causing a few electrical issues mid-set, by going behind the stage and unplugging a few essential things… well… that was just bad luck for that band and good luck for the festival and everyone’s ears!

Even Axl and Nicole had reached a newfound camaraderie after finding more common ground in a thirst for revenge. They’d stood together, earlier that night on the sidelines, watching Mr. Fedora of the rival band who dared to push Felix around, & plotted.

They were HYPED! Neither could believe how amazing their bands was! Both had been blown the frack away by the other, and now, three am-ish, they were headed to an all night diner to drown their adrenaline and booze in grease and laughter.

She smiled as she left them, she was a natural Muse, always had been, & she always had a sense when people were going to make it. And those two bands? Oh yeah. They had it -the magic that needed no magic. She couldn’t wait to watch the ride!

She grazed his head w/her fingers, her magic gentle, a soothing tide that eased the haze of drugs, calmed the panic of nerves, & steadied the uncertain riot inside of him. With another smile, she leaned in to kiss his cheek, then rose from her seat as talk of mutual famous parents filled the air.

Isaac’s revelation sent the tent into overdrive, but Lennon’s eyes stayed bored into a young, anxiety-ridden Elliot. She’d not meant to come backstage, she was supposed to be with the singer of an up-&-coming metal band. But talent called to her, and Elliot's was like a beacon… as was his anxiety.

“Something stupid is all we know.” Axl grumbled. Isaac jumped in, “Frack that band, you’re Zale’s daughter! I mean, you're you! Lennon Van Amstel! We met your dad! He was telling us all about his kid's band, which means—”

Lennon, without a care in the world, decided to flop down on top of Elliot, ruffling his hair as she did and saying, “Hi, cutie.” With a big smile before settling in. “What are they called?” She asked the group, while staring into Elliot’s eyes.

It didn’t matter if you were a fan, you had to be living under a rock not to recognize who Lennon was, & she was suddenly in their little corner. Death by Loyalty immediately went into ‘play it cool’ mode as she waltzed in. Axl continued on, unphased, “Some cocky ass dude in a band we hate.”

Nicole moved closer to them, leaving the silent boys to their silence, “It’s true, I don’t know who the group is, but one of them is wearing a fracking fedora, and that alone tells us everything we need to know about them.” “Who’s wearing a fedora?” Came a new feminine voice off to the side.

“I swear their name is like ‘Cowplant Menage a Trois’!” Yelled out Omar! Isaac leaned forward, “No frackin’ way, I heard ‘Murdering Creampies’!’ Felix frowned, “Whatever their name, I hope they bomb, they tried to push me into a giant mud puddle earlier!”

Elliot was barely coping w/the insanity, so Nicole gave him peace & moved to where Jagger stood frowning at his brother. “Is he always like that?” She asked with a smile. “Yeah.” Silence. So much for a riveting conversation w/this one. He & Elliot would get along great as they wallowed in silence

Axl jumped up, “Shit. My bad! I never touched you! We’re good!” Sure, he was only a couple years older than her, but those things mattered! In his haste to get away, he fell over a container, causing Elliot to trip, which meant general chaos erupted as they all laughed and mocked Axl for his fall!

“Wasting your time, I’m taken. Go away.” “I’ve got no problem with you being taken if you don’t.” Nicole gave him a death stare. Wanting to give it one more shot, he opened his mouth to try again, but she beat him to it. “How old are you?” He frowned,“How old are you?” “I’m still in high school.”

Isaac rushed forward, “Death by Loyalty is complete! Neon Clover, meet Felix & Nicole!” Introductions were made as Axl’s eyes turned to hearts. “Why did we never get a girl in the band?” He mumbled before rushing to Nicole’s side. Ewan shook his head, “That is why.”

“Your boy may have already hit zombie status.” Axl barked out about Elliot, which had the guys laughing, which led to one making sounds, another making the motions, until suddenly they were all up & acting like the undead. “The frack?” Came an amused female voice that broke the zombie spell.

Ewan sat forward, “First festival too?” The question was directed to the brown headed boy, Elliot, but the guy just slumped down, so the blond answered, “Yeah, we were talking with Axl and Marsh about finding a balance between shaking in our boots and becoming zombies on stage.”

Half an hour later and feeling much more chill the boys were making their way back to the band with a couple of new friends in tow. Axl introduced everyone, “Yo, red is Ewan, blond is Jagger my brother, Omar is our drummer, guys this is Elliot and Issac, their band is playing this week too.”

Their first festival! The boys were pumped, and jittery… which is why Axl and guitarist Marshall were heading to a dark corner where they knew a dealer was selling goods to settle their nerves.

A very special thank you to @maiawe.bsky.social for the use of her amazing producer Dim, aka Nicole's uncle! I love having this crossover happening! Can't wait for tomorrow 👀

It was good to have friends, Watcher knew Zale was going to need all the support he could get when his kids hit the mainstream…

“Clearly, your old ass dick needs help, I’ll spread it around, the great rock star Zale can’t get it up anymore without potions!” Dim said this loudly as they exited, which had both of them throwing playful punches at one another like teenagers as they made their way down the abandoned street.

“No shit?” “Yes shit.” “Damn.” A pause. “So she has to keep you in potions to ‘keep it up’ w/her?” “I don’t need potions to ‘keep it up’ w/her.” “Nah, you said it, so it’s out there.” “I said 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 to stay up later.” “Nah, I heard something else.” “Clearly your old ass ears need a cleanout.”
