Cabaret




You behold a man seemingly trapped within time, for none of his attire seem to be from the same era; or even culture in most cases. His demeanor and posture betray a sense of ease, matching the slight slouch in his shoulders and the friendly light behind his dark brown eyes. He smiles, showing perfectly white teeth set in such a way to make his face seem almost cherubic; but there was also something else within that smile.. He'd been performing on stage for the better part of the evening, but that didn't seem to daunt his light stepped approach to the bar very near where you sit. "I think that should set the mood for your evening appropriately, .. ah, no.. no pay is required. It's something I enjoy! Not very often I find a place that accepts my unique.. showmanship, we'll say." he said through his pleasing tenor, which he seemed to shift between the usual crisp, light sound to a rumbling baritone when his songs' required such. His band mates had already shuffled off for the evening, crawling back into the darkest depths of nightmares fit for the insane. He was so upbeat, so happy.. yet what he could do bespoke of something much darker. He was no ordinary bard..

"Voltaire, pleased to meet you! I hope you had some fun tonight..?" he said, directly to you from your seat at the bar. He was facing you now, and from this proximity you could tell he'd a fondness for body modification. He had a split tongue, with a stud placed onto the tips of his forked tongue, as well as several piercings lining his ears and eyebrows. His physique was that of an athlete, perhaps a runner or acrobat; but it was what he could do with his hands that stilled your heart as he listened intently to your response. "Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. They merely play my instruments and keep the mood. So, did you have any plans for after a few drinks? I'd love to get to know such a concerned fan, maybe alleviate some of those misgivings?"

You couldn't help but wonder how exactly he would be able to rid you of the worry associated with someone who had quite literally summoned his band from the various thugs of the city, who were no longer thugs. They were, in fact, dead.. well, almost. They had been reduced to shambling corpses, some little more than skeletons, but others looking almost alive, sans gaping holes in their abdomens from what appeared to be acidic burns. He'd come into town a few days ago, and within the span of those two days, he'd rid the entire city of every scoundrel, charlatan, petty thug and murderer the city had records on. He'd done it by, of all things.. Singing. His song held power, the ability to sway the entire city to his side, to bolster the hearts of the frightened and strike terror into the hearts of the wicked. He could summon forth incredible things from nothing at all, and through it all, he simply sang. His mirthful expression didn't seem to dull as you politely declined his invitation for a more private encounter. "That's certainly understandable, a lot of places I go find my methods.. Unsettling. I hope in the future we might get to know one another, but until then, I bid you good evening.."

He turned, moving away from you and into the assembled crowd that cheered for more of his unique songs. All had been of questionable nature, speaking of such things as demons and fiends as if they were nice, friendly even. You had seen enough of the world to know that wasn't the case, but yet you could not deny his songs held a certain mirth to them. He sang about death, evil, deceit and indifference as if they were funny, and somewhere deep within you that struck you as a bit.. off. What was it about this charismatic human that put you at such unease? Was it his ability to summon the Undead, or his ability to make that not only entertaining, but tolerated? You watched him shake a priests hand, the same priest who usually stood outside of his church scolding the 'sinners' and their wicked deeds. The Hypocritical Bastard was shaking hands with someone you had just watched summon the undead, in order to play band instruments. The necromantic virtuoso was leaving, walking out the same door you'd come in hours before. All at once, you realize what had just happened. He was a bard, he'd a gift for swaying crowds into his favor and speaking favorably to just about anyone at all. He was so good at his craft, that not only had he swayed the hateful priest along with the entire town.. but he'd not pulled his will on You. You had been left to your own choice, your own actions, his songs specifically being heard by you yet not with their usual.. umph. He'd left you to decide your own standings, and apparently you alone.

You place a few coins onto the table, finishing the last bit of your drink before you casually strolled to the same door; and stepped out into the night to find out why..
