I don't care if you tell me that I didn't do a good job, because I probably didn't. But if you tell me that I didn't even try, I will rip your fucking throat out.

What do you think of Duke? @chucksonwithdukelaurent ? I’m not sure you two have met yet! He is a. Um. Frenemy? Of Luca’s.

Hm.

Luca talks about him a lot... though talks might not be the right word, really. He sort of rants. Bickers, more like. About his hair, about his moustache, about the way he walks or snaps his fingers or interrupts him mid-thought—like an old couple in the thick of a divorce, only without the ring to throw.

It’s quite fascinating to listen to, honestly. Like watching two cats posture at each other from opposite rooftops. You never know which one’s bluffing.

Oh! And he did call him Enculé once. Right to his face, too. Loudly. I—I haven’t asked what that means. I have a few guesses, but I think I’d rather not know. (Unless it’s something terribly poetic. French insults can be, can’t they? They sound prettier than they are. Velvet knives.)

From what I’ve gathered… Duke—Laurent, yes?—was once a magician? Fortunato, he called himself. That’s a bold name. Lucky. Fortunate. I imagine he had to be, if he specialized in escape tricks. Handcuffs. Traps. Chains. The sort of thing you either master, or die trying.

He sounds like a man who’s escaped a lot of things. I wonder if it ever caught up to him.....

The spotlight fades eventually. The applause thins. And when the curtain finally falls, sometimes you don’t know if you’re meant to bow… or run. BUT ANYWAYS!!

…He seems confident, though. The sort of person who can laugh when he shouldn’t. Who hides things in the way he moves—like a sleight of hand, but with emotions. That kind of man tends to keep people at a distance while pretending he doesn’t. I don’t know if he’s cruel or just guarded. I suppose I’ll find out.

I’d be curious to meet him. Luca says I wouldn’t like him—but then, Luca says that about a lot of people.

(And yet, somehow, they never quite leave each other alone...)

…I do wonder what he thinks of me, actually.

.... Do you think he knows I exist?

...

Do you think Luca’s told him I exist?

....

I’m—haha—I’m fine, it’s fine. That’s not… weird to ask. Right?

Anyway. I look forward to meeting him! (Please don’t leave me alone in a room with him.)

Yours in nervousness— Percy

Punk Rock 1F1

RANDOM FUCKING AU TO WRITE ABOUT WHILE WRITING OTHER SHIT mwHAHAH

I know this thought has been explored by so many people, so many wonderful writers, so many wonderful artists, but I wanna hit it with my own spunky side! :D

I want to thank @gomzdrawfr for helping with these deranged ramblings and thoughts and offering her taste on outfits, and lore dribbles, I absolutely would not have found stuff that clicked without her.

Now this post might seem a bit rambly, that's because it is me rambling a lot with idea's for a later date while I explain what I currently have.

~~~

Price is an old retired artist trying to recreate a past band with four new boys.

Ghost is a metal rock singer; his deep, growling voice and ability to scream are truly remarkable.

Soap- a pretty face and one for theater-like plays, he's the guitarist, a lead singer as well. Punk rock artist if you would with his mohawk.

Gaz has the prettiest face you've ever seen. He plays the drums because he's got the beat, and he provides background singing.

Roach- 2nd guitarist, more in the background, fans love him for his silent nature but his abilty to truly bring the group together. Sometimes price joins them on stage to, just for old times sake... his deepish voice and slow nature truly making the crowd go wild.

Laswell is their general manager or producer.

Raven, well she's their number one fan... and also the merch producer funny enough! (she's the reason why theirs so much Price merch around still)

__

How the band started out was from Ghost, Soap, Gaz, and Roach playing from pubs or bars if you would, they started out through that... And that's how Price and Laswell found out about them, they went to drinking one night for old times sake only to be met by these four... and I quote from Price: "These muppets do have some talent..." and the rest is history!

Price and Laswell approched the four young rock stars, giving them an offer, Gaz was the only one to really recognize Price... we'll get into why later.

They agreed to the offer and joined Price and Laswell at the farm Price owns after his retirement, and started on their path to becoming a popular rock punk band!

__

The band history:

johnny was a run away teen who met gaz, roach, and ghost a fellow bunch of mess ups who are trying to start up a band, they work hard together before price and laswell takes interest in them..

the reason why johnny is a run away, his parents are heavily catholic and found out he was gay and liked "the devils music" leading to heavy punishments until he ran away. Age during this time: 19-20 the youngest member

Ghost, well his father is a drunkard who abused him so he hides behind the mask to get away from that, he had his mother before she died from his fathers hands... his brother later over dosed from drugs after his wife and kid died to a car crash... ghost finds comfort in the rock music that helped block out his fathers screaming. Age during this time: 29 the oldest member.

Gaz, he has supportive parents who have always been there for him, he loved rock music since a young lad, looking up to price and other artist leading him on this path, meeting ghost and roach before they found soap... Age during this time: 25, second youngest

Roach, he was also from an abusive home, no one really cared about the kids, it wasn't always physical abuse, but the neglect and emotional abuse that lead him to be mostly mute, but playing the guitar lead him to find his voice along side his mates. Age during this time: 26 second oldest.

Price, he is an old retired rockstar from the band Smoke and Love. After his band was disbanded, breaking up due to an asshole who ruined their band (cough cough, shepherd, cough) he bought a farm and vanished from the musical scene. Laswell an old friend turned music producer still talks to him, as well as Nikolai his oldest and only bandmate left. Current Age: 47

Kate Laswell, she is a popular music producer who knows when someones going to be a hot take. Take it from being friends with one of Englands biggest bands since The beetles and Rolling stones. She's been friends with Price since before the start of his career, they use to be college friends after all! She moved here for college and hasn't left, its also how she met her wife! Current Age: 43

~(other characters to be added on a later post)~

Now that we've finished the lore, ages, backstories in some pace lets move onto the clothing.

Price-

Price, he (as Gomz said) gives leather feels in this rockstar place, and I can't help but agree from my previous thoughts! Leather fits him way better then what I had thought of originally!

And yes, Price did have long hair, and he still did at the start of PUNK 1F1... its just that.. well..

price: +honk snuuu old man nap+

cigar: WEEE

Gaz, Ghost, Soap, Roach: +Finding price on fire+ "PRICEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

price: +sNORK-+ "HUH!?"

And thats how Price lost his long hair for a short buzz... they had to explain what had happened after merch sales went down... and after a new poster of Price looking sad at a 'no smokeing' sign showed up in the living room... (merch sales went up straight away after that)

I love how Gomz drew Price for this though, https://www.tumblr.com/gomzdrawfr/771081801989046272/hm-im-considering-it-retired-rock-star-price-turn?source=share

they really made this whole thought and idea process actually become something more then a one off thought.

Ghost-

Ghost still of course will have his skull mask on, it makes merch sales a lot better for some reason! (ART WILL BE PROVIDED IN A LATER POST, I JUST HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO REALLY DRAWING THEM THE BRAIN CELL HAS GONE TO WRITING AND NOT DRAWING!) Ghost is still dramatic in his blackened outfits of course, we love a theater kid vibe of course, but he's not the most dramatic.

His mask isn't like fully taking up his face, its more like up on the nose area, meaning his lips and smiles can be seen...

And this is also done so his voice can be heard, and also so when he is up on stage he can make out with the others. (this will be explained and explored further in another post.)

When it comes to merch sales, Price may be first but Ghost and Soap are in a strong second-place stand. (idk maybe I'll make a voting poll to see what you all think)

Gaz-

Gaz is the most dramatic out of the bunch, the most fashionable and dashing member, he is the drummer in the back so to make up for it, he's the fashion boy.

He has multiple different outfits, and each concert has him in a new outfit, compared to Soap, Ghost, Price, and Roach who have a set amount. People love it, the amount of merch, the posters, hell even the fucking calendars sell a bit better with his mass wears!

I'm giving gaz the love he needs >:[

(Art will be provided in a different post)

Roach-

Roach has goggles on as well as some antenna to go with his outfit, the fun part of this band is that each member has a completely different clothing vibe, different tune, but together it makes something amazing and different. Roach keeps in tune with some of the vibes, the vibes of having something skeleton themed with his outfit but its in his own touch just like everyone else. Roach has different names on the stage, from Bug, Roachy, HOLY SHIT ITS THE MUTE BOY, etc.

(Art will be provided in a different post)

Soap-

Soap has so much going on, yet not so much as well, he's just amazing... I got some doodles of him for this which can describe him better then What I can now.

He's also the only one I got a draft doodle of currently as of this date.

Kate Laswell-

Her outfits from the game are so fucking perfect, I love that for her, so that's what she wears here as well.

Other Character outfits coming at a later date...

All in all, this is all that I currently have for this, their will be more to come like random little bits of funny interaction between the band, them facing off against The Shadows and Kortac some rival bands... I have a lot planned for this, a lot of it is going to be written... But I will draw some bits.

Anderson, sighing: Okay... why did the lady kick you out this time?

Alucard: When she walked into the room I tried casting an expecto patronum.

Anderson: Why would you do that?!

Alucard: Well in the last few months she sucked out the joy of everything I do. Excuse me for trying to find a solution...
