Viva Las Vegas, Pt. 11 - De Orfeo Records

Summary: Sunset Cure AU, Willex, is there a chance?, 2.8k

@trevor-wilson-covington is the bestie who makes these lovely edits, we stan supportive friends

WARNINGS: death mention

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10

Reggie and Carlos were running around in the middle of taking down equipment after their latest gig. Luke shook his head as he wrapped cords over his arm and placed them in a storage box. Alex, however, was nervously trying not to get run into as he carried various pieces of his drum set out and handed them to Bobby in the back of the van. He could forgive Reggie not really helping out since he was taking responsibility for the kid, but also hadn’t anticipated that their energies combined would put him more on edge.

As he went inside to grab the last piece of his set, he found that Reggie had taken his flannel and tied it around his neck like a cape, with Carlos wearing his leather jacket in a similar fashion. They approached Bobby, who immediately joined their game and they pretended to battle each other. By the time Alex had finished getting his whole set in the van, they were playing out a dramatic victory over defeating Bobby.

“Guys, this is great, but we really should finish packing up,” Alex said, although he was smiling from the entertainment.

“I guess you’re the next bad guy we fight,” Carlos said in a mock-deep voice.

“We can schedule it later, Robin,” Alex teased.

“Oh, no, he’s Batman,” Reggie corrected. “I’m Robin!” He put his fists on his hips in a proud superhero pose.

A big SHHHHHH came from Luke and they all looked over at him to see what was up. He was far off by the venue office, holding a phone to his ear and writing onto a notepad. His eyes were wide with excitement, and his energy was only held back by the other hand tapping against the paper. The boys watched as his smile grew bigger and he said goodbye, barely putting the phone back in place properly.

“YEEESS!!” he cried, raising his fists into the air in celebration. They all came running toward him to see what had happened.

“Boys, we’ve got good news!” Luke told them. Looking on in anticipation, Alex gripped his fanny pack tightly. “One of the record execs that came tonight is offering for us to sign onto their label and put out some songs! He even heard our demo!”

Everyone celebrated, jumping up and down and high-fiving each other. Reggie let Carlos climb onto him in a piggyback and they both yelled triumphantly. Luke pulled Alex into a bro hug, then Bobby. Alex held his arms up and placed his hands on top of his head, unable to believe what had just happened. Euphoria filled his head like helium and he went to double-high-five Carlos, who was still perched on Reggie’s back.

“So what else did they say?” Bobby asked, still smiling.

Luke had to shake off some more excitement before he could explain the rest.

“Ahhh, so he said we could meet in a few days to discuss business and contracts and such, let us get a look at the studio and stuff. I got all his contact information and he’s totally excited to get us on. We’re moving on up boys!”

The celebration continued, and their renewed energy caused the rest of the take-down to go by much faster. They were still riding the high as they drove home. Alex listened to Luke talk about which songs they would want to record first and where they would land on the charts. He remembered that feeling he had back at the Pearl during their sound check. Doing that? For real and not just dreaming and hoping about it? They hadn’t made it just yet, but this was a change he could be excited for.

Reggie had been staying with Carlos, which the rest of the boys figured was a good excuse to not stay home. As Bobby pulled up to the house, he and Luke began climbing out of the van. Carlos and Reggie were already inside.

“Uh, guys?” Alex said, still in the back of the van. They all turned back to him. “What are you doing?”

“Oh,” Luke gestured like oh-silly-me. “We all decided to stay here for the night. It’s just a nice change from the garage and Julie’s aunt has lots of leftovers that need to be eaten so…”

“So...I’m grounded,” Alex reminded, raising his eyebrows. His parents hadn’t been happy about him sneaking out to the pier the other night.

“Screw your old man, Alex,” Bobby said.

“Yeah, he can eat my shorts if he tries to do anything about it,” Luke added.

Alex took a moment to think. Disobeying wasn’t going to do anything for or against him at this point - he kept anything truly important to him out of his parents’ reach and since he’d gotten the punching bag he could actually contend with their tempers. They couldn’t punish him in a way that mattered.

“Yeah, you’ve got a point,” he said finally, following them into the house.

They found Reggie and Carlos already raiding the kitchen.

“Alex, you’re staying too?” Reggie said when he saw them enter.

“Yes!” Carlos cried, pumping his fist. “You get to make popcorn. Tonight, the Empire Strikes Back!”

“Oh yeah, baby!” Reggie responded as the rest of the boys began following orders from Carlos. Alex wasn’t crazy about Star Wars, but eh….young Mark Hamill was hot so he didn’t mind too much. He was sure most of them would fall asleep during the movie anyway.

A couple hours later it turned out he was right. Carlos was slumped on the floor leaning back against the chair Luke was sitting in, hand still in the bowl of popcorn. Luke was leaning on his hand, breathing soundly. Alex had watched earlier as Bobby’s head flopped onto Reggie’s shoulder and the flustered look that had overcome Reggie’s face, and it was too good not to smile at. Once the VCR began automatically rewinding the movie, Alex shut off the TV.

He stared at the ceiling as he pulled the handle on the La-Z-Boy he was in and reclined into a somewhat comfortable position. Even now, weeks later after meeting for only a day, the first thing he wished he could do was tell Willie the news about the record label. He probably would have been just as ecstatic as the rest of them, if not more. Victoria would be back soon and hopefully have some news. He guessed it didn’t matter if he’d been right about the missing kid, but maybe just knowing if she got to talk with Willie would be enough.

The memory of soft brown eyes still rose in his mind. He’d been doing his best to keep that moment cemented in his brain because he’d noticed it helped him sleep. It was funny because he’d done the same thing with the guys, but staring into Willie’s eyes had been an entirely different experience. Alex wished he had the proper words to describe it, but the best he could do was marvel. Willie was clearly unaware of the strength he held, and it made Alex want to bring that out with his entire being. If he ever did get the chance, that would be something worth looking forward to.

Victoria didn’t arrive until the afternoon the next day. Since Alex felt that she had gone because of him, he made everyone else clean her house as well as they could. No traces of food on the floor, no messy beds, and the kitchen was cleaner than when they had found it. As she came back into the house, she put a hand over her heart.

“Wow!” she exclaimed. “I should take trips like this more often if you boys are this good!”

“Yes, tía, please, please, please let them babysit me again! Pleeeeaaassee!” Carlos begged with his hands pressed together.

“Ay, sobrino, no me quieres?” she shook her head.

“No, I do!” Carlos tried to recover. “But they’re fun!”

As if to make a point, Reggie rubbed a hand on Carlos’ head.

“It’s okay little dude, we’ll be back.”

Victoria pulled her wallet out of her purse.

“Well, you boys took very good care of him and I promised I would pay you, so here you go.” She handed each of them a generous amount of cash. Luke, Reggie and Bobby all whooped as they thanked her and headed to the van. Alex held back with anticipation. Victoria looked at him seriously.

“There was no connection,” she told him before he asked. “His guardian explained everything to me, and there was nothing else to go on. I wanted to know because I thought I could solve an old case, but I had to let it go.”

“Well, did you get to talk to him?” Alex tried not to sound too urgent.

“You mean Willie? No, I never saw him. After talking with his guardian I didn’t need to.”

Bowing his head, Alex made himself swallow his other questions. She had at least tried.

“Thank you,” he said. “I’m sorry if it was inconvenient.”

“I chose to go, don’t worry about it,” she assured.

Nodding and saying thanks one more time, Alex hurried out after the rest of his friends.

A few days later, the boys slammed the doors of the van shut as they looked up at the building before them. It was so plain and simple on the outside; they never would’ve guessed there was a studio there. It was likely they had driven past it many times on the way to a gig. Pushing through the door, they all looked at the logo in neon lights on the wall: De Orfeo Records.

Collectively, the boys took in awed breaths at the reality of where they were standing. This was too good to believe. Alex took in the scene, trying to imagine this being a place he came to regularly. Could he ever get used to it, or get over the sheer excitement of just being there? Luke patted him on the back, desperately trying to contain himself. They wandered through the halls a little bit until they came to a room where the door was sitting open.

“Oh, boys!” A man called as they almost walked past it. “In here!”

As they all shuffled in, the man shook their hands and pointed them to a couch where they could sit. Alex nervously stuffed his hands in the pockets of his jacket as he took a seat. The man across from them was dressed surprisingly casually, if not with obvious expensive taste. He still had sunglasses on, but their yellow tint was clearly not for actual UV protection.

“Nice to meet all of you,” he was saying. “My name is Alan, I’m one of the producers here at De Orfeo. Which one of you did I talk to on the phone?”

Luke raised his hand.

“That was me,” he said, already gushing with excitement. “How’d you hear about us, anyway?”

Alan didn’t answer, but instead looked up at the doorway as someone else came in.

“Hello boys!” Caleb Covington entered, his charismatic smile spread wide across his face. “So nice to see you again.”

Alex’s heart rate immediately sped up and he clenched his hands inside his pockets. How could it be? He thought his last chance to reach out to Willie was gone and seeing Caleb brought back everything he hadn’t been able to ask Julie’s aunt. All the guys were happy to recognize him.

“I won’t be staying for the negotiations,” Caleb said. “but I wanted to properly introduce myself as the owner of this label. I want to assure you boys the best experience as newcomers in the industry. Let any nerves that still linger walk right out the door.” His eyes landed on Alex for a moment, and it felt purposeful. “Take it away, Alan.”

Listening to the producer’s pitch was difficult to focus on now, and Alex had to fight hard against his brain latching onto the new hopes that had arisen. He was thankful that when paperwork came out, Bobby was mindful enough to have them read through it. It was taking too long, though, and Alex was already wishing he had his drumsticks in hand to help pass the time. Reggie had so many questions, and Luke had trouble understanding numerous words - at least that kept Alex occupied because he could be helpful in that. A good hour had passed going over all the information.

“This looks great!” Luke said finally. “How are we feelin’ boys?”

Each of them nodded and looked around at each other, confirming that they all agreed on every settlement. Luke grabbed a pen and pulled his copy of the contract toward him, pausing momentarily to drink in what was happening. Then he signed his name in giant letters. Alex, Bobby, and Reggie followed suit, and Alex could feel a weird tingle rush through his hand as he made the final flourish with his pen. They were all in now.

As the band began celebrating, Caleb knocked on the doorframe.

“If it’s alright with you boys, I wanted to speak with Alex privately for a moment,” Caleb said, gesturing for Alex to follow him outside the room.

His curiosity was at the point of overflowing, and he went out trying to control his trembling hands. Maybe Caleb had talked to Willie after all. This could be his way to bridge that gap and he wouldn’t have to live off of just memories.

Everyone else was still going nuts over getting the contracts signed back in the room. Standing in the lobby, Caleb was looking at him seriously, maybe even pitifully. It quickly drained the exhilaration in Alex’s chest.

“I can tell you’ve been wanting to ask me some questions,” he began. “But before you do, I thought it was best to inform you of some important details first.”

Alex looked up at him with his hands back in his pockets and gulped. Why was his heartbeat suddenly so loud? He knew Caleb couldn’t actually hear it, but it still embarrassed him. His mouth began to go dry.

Caleb furrowed his brow, as if what he was about to say wasn’t easy to get out. He bowed his head and took a breath before looking at Alex again.

“Willie,” he started. Then he paused. “Is dead.”

The trembling in Alex’s hands stopped.

He stared at Caleb, as if he could pull off the serious expression and find a joking smile underneath. It was a few moments before he remembered to breathe in, and blinking seemed to cut that moment into two as if the first one wasn’t real.

“No, no, that can’t - ” he heard the words spill out of his mouth. Why was his body so tense and ready to defend itself? His cheeks felt hot.

“I know the news is hard,” Caleb interrupted, placing a hand on Alex’s shoulder. “I can hardly bear it myself. There was an electrical fire. He didn’t make it out.”

Alex could only shake his head. Caleb’s expression wasn’t changing and for some reason it was the most infuriating sight. He could punch that face and make him bleed if he really wanted to. The adrenaline was already rushing to his fist.

“There has to be a mistake,” he said, chuckling darkly.

“There is no mistake,” Caleb told him firmly.

How was the man so calm? How could he say those words out loud and not immediately crumble to the earth? How could he have worn such a large smile earlier?

“I know you two weren’t friends for long, but he made it clear you were important to him.”

The words came through as if from a tiny speaker. They’d only gotten one day and it wasn’t enough. Willie couldn’t go like that, he simply couldn’t - not when Alex needed to know if they could’ve ever had something real. He still wanted to know so many things about him and look into those brown eyes and soften the hard edges on them. He needed to -

He was crying. On his hands and knees, trying to get the dark shadow that had grown inside his chest to come out. It made him choke. Caleb had apparently left him alone, unable to console him, and he felt hands on his back and shoulders as he fought to properly breathe. Luke was knelt down before him, mouth hanging open in want of words but not able to form any. Bobby was gripping his hand and supporting him as he and Reggie pulled him up onto his feet.

“We need to get him in the van,” one of them was saying.

Any movement from there was not his own. All three boys were trying their hardest to help the tallest member of their band out of the building. Everything was numb - like a machine that had broken down after being run too hard.

The brown eyes faded into darkness, murky and thick. There was no air in his lungs to scream into that dark, no tie-dye, no rolling of wheels on the sidewalk, no ‘ribbit’, no more wondering and hoping.

Dead quiet. That was all.

Orfeo

hey hi hello my name is seiya and i love child ballads and very self wanky au-au’s inspired by child ballads.

------

Once there were a pair of twins to a mortal woman born.

(Does this sound familiar? Perhaps this is in a place that is a distorted mirror to your own, only a hop skip and dimensional jump away. Or this is a bedtime story, told by a wizard to his recently found daughter. Or by a harried new father, or a sleepy uncle.

Perhaps you should keep reading regardless.)

The midwife rolled the bones, went through the ashes and the entrails, and then when that show was done for the parents, got her actual answer in a bowl of soup. One was fated to live and die, live and die, live and die a hundred thousand lives over and over again as we all are fated to do. The other however, would live until every star in the sky went out, and every other living thing died, and only then would he pass on to what was next.

Naturally, the couple didn’t take it well. Luckily, they had his uncle, an old man in the woods they could offload the b-

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” the witch told them.

“How...how did you know?” the mother asked, a tremor in her voice.

The witch raised her eyebrow, and let them think it was magic and not forty years experience of the human condition and more specifically having to deal with unwanted children.

“You can keep both, or give both away,” the witch went on, “but you must keep them together or else.”

“Or else?” the father demanded.

The witch smelt fire in her nose, felt her skin crackle under the force of unnatural energies, and sighed. “Just fucking do it or I’ll curse you both with warts.”

Ten minutes later she had carefully bundled the babies and some goat milk into a basket, and was headed to the Old Fox. He was the trickster of all tricksters, a crank and a crook and not as good in bed as he thought he was, but the witch knew there was no better place for these babies to be than with him.

(you may be wondering where the beast with one eye is in this story. the answer is that he’s a big stinky jerk and will not be appearing tonight.)

----

Once there was an old man who took in the grandchildren of his sister. He was cranky and smelly and may or may not have been missing an eye, and was the absolute last person on earth who should have been trusted with the raising of children.

(within thirty seconds of meeting them the girl had spat up on him, and the boy had sneezed fire and burnt his eyebrows off and there was no way he was ever giving them up.)

He taught the boy how to lie, cozen, cheat, and steal. How cheap tricks and flash would distract a mark enough that they would never notice you were fleecing them for all they were worth. The art of the deal, and even more importantly, how to lie with the truth. He taught the boy almost everything he knew, and when he was done felt satisfied knowing the boy would one day surpass him.

He taught the girl the ways of the forest, introduced her to the Hidden Folk (and the Not So Hidden Folk). What you could eat, what you couldn’t eat. He taught her how to punch and kick and otherwise defend herself. And cheating at cards, the one thing the boy never could quite master. He didn’t have a lot to teach the girl, and he worried about that at first, before he realized she was teaching him more than he was her.

They were the boy and the girl, and then they grew slowly into the Demon King and the Lady of Rainbows. And if the boy stopped aging for awhile until he remembered that he needed to match with his sister, or the girl began putting together her cassone, it didn’t bother either of them. Eternity was forever away, wasn’t real, all that mattered was that they were here now and together and would continue that way for an indefinite amount of time and-

Then one day a red haired woodsman came into the woods.

---

The Demon King pulled out his ace in the hole, the one argument that his sister surely could not defeat.

“He plays the bagpipes.”

The Lady of Rainbows frowned. “So?”

“So?!” Her twin sputtered. “They sound like dying cats!”

“The pipes are a noble instrument!” said the disembodied bespectacled head that rolled around their uncle’s place. Neither of them had ever gotten a straight answer from the Old Fox on why the head was there.

The Lady pointed a finger at the King. “I love him. I’m marrying him, and we are gonna have kids and you’re going to be their weird, horrifying yet loving uncle, and we will be okay and-”

“No we won’t! Because he’s taking you away from me-”

“-um, he’s not?”

“-and you’re going to grow old-”

“-that was going to happen any way.”

“-and you’re going to d͙̰͉̯ie̯̬̜̫͝!!!”

The Demon King’s words echoed in the room, even as they both fell silent. So of course this was when the red headed woodsman came into the house.

He looked between the two siblings for a long second, before finally saying “Is this a bad time?”

“Yes,” replied the Demon King at the same time the Lady of Rainbows said “Oh no, my brother was just getting ready to leave for the day.”

“Oh. Um. I’ll just... leave you both alone to uh, say goodbye.” The red headed woodsman stepped back outside, and the Lady of Rainbows huffed out a sigh.

“He’s a good man,” her brother finally offered. “I can see his heart and everything. It’s just-”

“Just what?”

The Demon King shook his head. “Nothing. Everything. Fine. Have your little dalliance-”

“He’s going to be your brother-in-law, can you at least try not to be a jerk to him?”

“-And when it all falls to pieces, I’ll be there waiting for you.”

The Lady stared at him for a long minute, before bursting out laughing. She grabbed her twin for a surprise hug. “You goofy butt, don’t you know that my Woodsman would do anything for me? Now are you done being a snooty snoot?”

Her twin started laughing a second after her. “Yes, okay, I am, I promise!”

(she wanted to think the best of the demon, which is why she didn’t notice his fingers crossed behind his back.)

----

They got married, and the Demon King waited (and also ate all the cake.)

The red haired woodsman got bitten by the Old Fox’s goat and still the Demon King waited.

They moved into a set of rooms they added on to the Old Fox’s house, and still the Demon King waited.

The red haired woodsman and the Demon King went on a fishing trip that was totally Not Awkward and still the Demon King waited.

Then the Lady of Rainbows started talking about the patter of little feet in the house, and teaching kids how to cut down a tree in five minutes, and then, and then-

----

One day the red haired woodsman went out hunting. He left his Lady at home all alone, with the confidence of a man who knew his wife could kick his ass any day of the week with ease.

(scowan erla grae)

The red haired woodsman came home at noon, and saw the Old Fox on the porch.

“Hey S-.” The red haired woodsman paused. Something was off.

“Where is she?”

The Old Fox lifted his head up, and for the first time that the red haired woodsman could remember, looked simply old.

“She’s.... she’s gone son.”

The red haired woodsman didn’t go into the house to check for a body. He didn’t ask why or how.

He didn’t need to.

He turned his back on the old Fox and went into the woods.

(Far yorten han grun orla)

----

the red haired woodsman sat down on a tree stump, only for a moment, only to weep, and the woods swallowed him whole

for he was the earth’s favored son, long lost but finally home

(Skoven arle grön)

he sat on the stump and his head followed the sun across the sky, his feet burrowed deep into the dirt and his toes grew impossibly long branching out into even more toes, the better to get water and nutrients and wrap around rocks and his feet remained in their boots

he sat on the stump and the bears pledged their strength to him, the birds brought the secrets of the world to his ears, the snakes taught him cunning, and the deer and rabbits brought him bloody meat to sustain him

he sat on the stump and his clothes wore into tatters beaten by the rain and sun and snow, and his hair grew long and just as his roots were spreading deep into the soil so did two massive branches begin to grow from his skull, textured like wood but colored like the bone they came from

he sat on the stump and thought of nothing was still like stone and the only thoughts that went through his head were those of the earth and wind and sky, thoughts of love and above all a chorus of “mine, mine, mine” and he was clung ever closer to the forest and

One day a company to him drew near

(Hvor hjorten han gar arlig)

----

The Demon King and the Lady of Rainbows spent most of their time now in the King’s land under the hill- well, it was metaphorically under the hill, being that it was really everywhere and nowhere and composed of the minds of every conscious being and we are getting off topic here aren’t we?

So.

The Demon King and the Lady of Rainbows spent most of their time under the hill, but The Demon King recognized the importance of letting his Court out in the fresh air every once in a while, and thus they would ride.

(Scowan urla grun)

A creature stepped out into the road in front of the Court. The Demon King kept everyone going for a minute or two, to see if the creature- no, a man- no, a dryad- no, something else entirely- would step out of the way.

He did not, and the Demon King stopped inches from his feet. The Demon King’s mount reared back, and made to trample the man, but the man did not move out of the way. The Demon King pulled back, raised his eyebrows, and then dismounted, walking up to the man himself.

“Normally, I would strike you down for such insolence,” the Demon King began. He waited for his sister to call him on his bullshit, but she said nothing, her hands holding the reins of her mount so tight her knuckles were white. Huh. Odd.

“But being as it is a lovely day and I am on a ride with my fair sister, I’m willing to let this pass, if you let us pass. Sound like a d̞̫̹̖̦͇̬e̠̜̳̮̲a̝l̥͈̀?”

The man opened his mouth once, twice, but no sound came out, as if it had been a long, long time since he had spoken. Finally he managed, “Yes. But first, may I play you a song?” And from behind his back he drew out some bagpipes.

(don’t ask where he got the pipes or how they had not rotted during years of being in the forest, this is a fairy tale damnit.)

First he played the notes of noy, and all the members of the Demon King’s court beautiful ladies and lords, all froze to stare unerringly at the piper, in awe at the beauty of his music. Then he played the notes of joy, which made even the Demon King dance with his subjects and the Lady of Rainbows smile.

Then the music dropped in tone (and did the forest get darker? clouds begin to gather in the sky?) as the piper began to play the gaber reel. The court dissolved into tears- literally, as they shed their human forms for their true visages, of creatures sharp in tooth and nail and claw, and fluffy of wool. The Demon King stood tall and strong against the onslaught for one minute, two, three.... and then bent over in half, golden tears streaming down his face and hitting the ground with little sizzle and hisses.

Only the Lady of Rainbows remained untouched, her eyes never moving from the man playing the pipes.

Finally, the Demon King held up a hand, and the man stopped playing.

“I...” Rarely was the Demon King at a loss for words. He stayed quiet for a long minute and then tried again.

“That... was terrible. Awesome. It broke me. What will you have now for your pay?”

The Red Headed Woodsman gently placed the pipes down onto the ground.

“I would like my wife back.”

---

There was silence for a full minute.

Then the Demon King uttered gravely, “Oh fuck.”

---

The Lady of Rainbows had been, to this point, uncharacteristically silent. Now she turned in her saddle and said sweetly to her brother, “You told me my husband was dead.”

“Look, I can exp-”

“You told me that a tree fell on him in the forest and his body had been completely crushed.”

“Yes but-”

“And that when you told the Old Man what had happened, he had a heart attack and died too and then a bear ate his face. I’m guessing that he’s still alive and kicking?”

“Okay so the bear was overkill-”

The Lady of Rainbows dismounted, and walked over to her brother.

“You lied to me.”

“It was for your own good!”

She slapped him once, twice, across the face and was going for thrice when a hand wreathed in blue fire grabbed her wrist.

They stood locked like that for a second.

“You had no right,” the Lady said.

“I had every right, you will die if you don’t live in my realm.”

She relaxed her hand and he let it go.

“I haven’t been living these last seven years. You know that.”

The Demon King said nothing.

“Please. Let me go home.”

“I can’t.”

The Lady of Rainbows folded her arms, and tapped a foot. “It seems to me you have two options. You let me go home with my husband. We make hot sweaty love-”

“-ew-”

“-give you lots of niblings to spoil, and we all live together, if not happily ever after, happily for as long as we can, because, despite everything you’ve done, you are still my brother and I want you in my life.”

“And if I say no?”

“I never, ever, ever speak to you again.”

“You don’t mean that.”

The Lady laughed bitterly. “I have never been more serious in my life.”

“I could take you back any way.”

She nodded.

“You could.”

“I could make you talk.”

“You could indeed put words in my mouth. But you and I would both know that they meant nothing and they were worthless. So once again. You can lose me in 80 years, or you can lose me right fucking now. So choose Dipper.”

---

There once was a shack in the woods, and in it lived a grumpy old man, the queen of light and beauty, a great and terrible power, and the husband of the queen. There were children (though no one, not even the Demon King, had planned on all three coming at once) and two dozen pigs that the Lady of Rainbows adopted, and the Flock and Jeremy. There was life and love and light and laughter.

It tore the Demon King apart as they all left him, one by one, but he was comforted, cushioned by the memories he had made with his family, the lessons his sister and his brother had taught him.

And whenever he found himself drifting from those lessons, the Shadow of the Red Headed Woodsman would come to remind him of the consequences of forgetting.

----

"...And you’ll be king for all your days,” the Demon King said absentmindedly.

The Red Headed Woodsman looked up from leading his wife’s horse back to the Shack. “What did you say?”

“I said something?”

The Red Headed Woodsman almost challenged his brother, but he genuinely looked confused, and it had been a very long and very weird day, so he let it go.

(and if he left something of himself behind in the woods, no one noticed. At least, right away.)

Episode #5: “Every party is a pitbull party when I'm around” - Chloe

Honestly? I hope Sharky understands that all of it clearly was gamewise. I didn't care about his level of activity, but I cared about my game and unfortunately he was not apart of it. Having that out of the way, I want to use this next immunity to have a little bit more control for my game!

omg sharky left im sad 2 pots back to back although my pots is always gonna be brian <3 but yaa this so sad i wanted him to stay but votes werent there hes prob pressed but also like not my fault he was not as active i mean mitch isnt either but if sharky talked more hed be here know that

Zzzzz classic celestial double tribal. I bet we swap again at 15 and keep 3 tribes. AM I WRONG ANNA? AM I???? I’m just praying we win bc I, again, really don’t want to have to choose between Michael and drew. It’s just not FAIR to send either of them home rn but even though I know I’m safe with this majority I still want to be immune, and just pray I don’t get fucked by a swap here. If I can hit merge, I’ll be in good shape I think. Just gotta get there

DONT STOP THE PARTY. Every party is a pitbull party when I'm around

Chris seems very loyal to me So to have Bryce and Chris not willing to turn against me is going to bode really well for my long-term game I don't mind booting Stephen if we lose but I think I might be able to keep him If it will be good for me to have the thing with Mitch and Stephen at merge But the thing is, Tuatha would have to win immunity for it to be worth it to keep Stephen Because if they lose then Mitch is going to go, and what use is Stephen without Mitch?

WHY DO PEOPLE INSIST ON PLAYING LIKE THEY CANT CLEAN AFTER THEMSELVES? Kori slips his alliances, Stephen leaks his alliances, Rhys and Jared want Stephen out while Stephen wants Mitch to be used to go for Bryce and Kori despite all of these people being in an alliance together, Michael is asking for my hand in marriage, Chloe feels hopeless like me, Zach himself is a mess, Loris an even bigger mess yet I like them, Drew probably is ready to puzzle me and Loris out the door, Jack and Alyssa are problematically beautiful, Bodhi is just here, and Mo is going to kill us all with kindness.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So now I'm gonna see if I can save Stephen since him going can hurt me a little. It's becoming clear to me that Loris talks to Rhys or Jared or maybe even Stephen but honestly? If Stephen is only saying Bryce and Kori's name then why not keep him and make him THINK that everyone is not onto him and them save him for later? Honestly even use him to take a shot at Bryce and Kori if all of them wanna but to take him out now even despite his problematic ways seems short shortsighted...at least I'm gonna try to get them to feel that way! Itll start by convincing Jared to convince Rhys they should wait

So let's see it's about half an hour before the challenge is due. Sharky went home as was according to plan. 5-1 no surprises or anything. Immediately Anna slaps us in the face with her dick and we're face to face with a Double Tribal Challenge.

Would've probably done better if it was Sunday instead of Monday but unfortunately work got in the way and there really just isn't much I could do bout that. I'm HOPING we somehow pulled out a win. There's several elements where I'm thinking we probably got last but we also might've lucked out. To be quite honest, I'm not optimistic in the least. But I want to hold out hope that our luck will somehow turn out.

Everyone in this game is so good at challenges so it really takes some crazy stuff to pull things out. I also feel like I might be playing just slightly too relaxed on the social-strategic front, but there also hasn't been much to do other than try to maybe build bonds with people and try to be nice/likable. Most of the time when I'm at tribal the thing I want has tended to be the simplest and easiest thing to do for me.

Anyway, time to start my prayer to hopefully win this challenge and not get dicked by AnnaJane.

I'm kinda having this subtle realization that I'm in this alone. Which sounds obvious but like I don't know. As soon as I found out we lost I had this mindset of "Well just gotta hope the others choose to spare me." but bitch that's my fate I wanna choose what happens to it. So that's what I'm gonna try to do.

WE ARENT GOING TO THE DOUBLE TRIBAL BABY AND FOR THAT IM GRATEFUL. When I initially saw that the challenge was all flash games i was freaking. Im usually not the best at flash games, but i really stepped it up and won my portion of the challenge. I hope and think Jared and Stephen will be fine, so I am hoping we swap after this. If we dont, then it might be crazy if we go back to tribal. Loris wants to blindside Kori but idk if that is the best move for me.

So since we're one of the two tribes going to tribal we're currently in that phase of "fuck what do we do." and I'm gonna be honest its only a matter of who grabs the reins first and usually to see who is okay with said person driving. So I took it upon myself to grab those reins because if everyone's just sitting waiting I feel like my name has a chance of coming up. So instead of sitting and waiting for something that may not even happen, why not try to make something happen. So I threw out Stephen's name to Zach knowing that they have a "history" with the whole idol situation. Zach said he'd be fine with that, then I'm like going to Rhys like "Ok so it wasn't technically a name drop but I have heard Stephen's name" and Rhys was like "oh yeah I get that because he doesn't talk often." so I'm like yeah I'm thinking that too. This has such a high chance of turning around against me but if this does work I'm not gonna be able to do shit for a while without looking like a threat. Also if this does work I'm gonna feel like such a suave bitch, like oooh. Goat? Idk her... I'm gonna be eliminated.

God this fucking sucks. Real Sophie’s Choice moment here picking between Drew and Michael I don’t want to vote either of them out but also I’m not turning on Matt/Alyssa/Bodhi. Drew messaged me last night saying he didn’t want to go like this and it just killed me. I really don’t know what to do

Since we lost the challenge, campaign season has begun on Orfeo. The first 2 people I talked to were Jared and Zach. I suggested Mo as the easy vote since he's isolated original-tribewise and didn't perform well in the challenge, and Jared agreed immediately.

Zach was, in his own words, wishy-washy. I really don't like wishy-washy players at this stage of the game. It makes a bit more sense at merge or at the very beginning but if I'm gonna flip on Jared or Rhys at some point I want somewhere solid to land, Zach, Mo, and Chloe don't appear to be the players I'd want to make that jump with. They don't talk openly about game which makes it difficult to trust them.

Rhys also seemed okay with this plan but he was drunk last night so who knows LMAO. My conversations with Mo and Chloe were essentially meaningless. All I got from them was this deal that they'd tell me if I heard their name and likewise for them. Maybe they have an alternative and don't think they have to talk game with me. I do think I'm gonna try and play it safe for this vote and just push for voting Mo with Jared and Rhys. Hopefully the trust between us stays strong.

♪ I’m almost confident this will backfire and I will be eliminated~ ♪

So we lost this double tribal. Which low-key is probably good. Because were not gonna be on these tribes forever. So its good to cement some form of alliance from it.

It seems like its either Mo or Stepehen going tonight so that's good. There is pros and cons to both. Mo is from a different tribe and is more social to me. I feel like Mo wont be dis loyal so he would be a great ally. It would also show that I'm willing to work with other people moving forward, opening more doors. However in doing so, I may be closing a door on my old alliance of 5. So yes I am scared.

Right now I’m a bottom on the bottom so I’m gonna have to push it push it real good to flip some votes onto bodhi, I have a pretty good relationship with Alyssa and me and Matt have been in cahoots all game, but this is all stars and if I have to turn on Drew I’m not holding back I am not going home tonight, tomorrow or ever. I just can’t go!

youtube

So after I talked to Jared last night I proposed the big alliance idea to Zach without asserting I wanted it. Leaving it up in the air could make him less likely to think I'm pushing it. SO while that is going on, Jared filled me in on Rhys' anti-Steph brigade but it sounds like they may cave to voting Mo. ON TOP OF IT ALL, Kori and Bryce literally were saying they'd like a Tuatha-Orfeo alliance which coincidentally coincides with the big alliance? Huh. But if they're genuine then this has A LOT of potential.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do feel like I'm playing messy but I told myself I'd play a little different if it meant increasing my odds. I wont try getting too hopeful just yet. Now I've told Steph that BK wama have our tribes work together and this left Steph reiterating how it sets us up nicely that nobody suspects us. I truly feel people will suspect Loris/Steph before me/Steph but still I know me and him are close so if we can last long enough to play legit together, it will be amazing. Woooo go friends

so we r at tribal again, love that for us! 3rd one of the season, thus making all OG Cyrena having been to the most tribal councils. I did pretty poorly on the challenge, but as did multiple others its no big deal. I'm pretty shit at winning immunity anyway so its ok.

I feel like i am in a similar position as with last time i played. I'm clearly very weak socially (and admit it, ive been MUCH busier than i thought i was going to be since university has started) and have a tight 3 who all are like pretty close together, and have multiple advantages. So im being very loyal atm. just quieter than i would like. I find some of these ppl v.boring tho and you can tell some are just doing the rounds to keep face so they can't be accused of a bad social game LOL. Sharky also left last round which makes me SO sad UGH. MY ONE TRUE LOVE, KILLED TRAGICALLY BEFORE WE COULD BE REUNITED. Its like romeo and juliet, only with a gay and a straight and the gay got stoned to death by evil people. fucking RUDE.

This vote tho... its.... interesting. Maybe i WILL shove my head in the sand, get wildly drunk and just ignore everything that is going on. sounds much better tbh. I feel like a warrior ant, just being told what to do, no matter what is going on. Alyssa is genuinely looking out for me however, and wants bodhi gone as we still have 2 big shields due to the lovely meta game as both are known to be big players. Both will go along with it as well, as it saves their skin (drew and michael). Not sure how Jack is going to take it because i can't tell their connection together, mainly cause bodhi and I barely have one. and i think that is the issue. I don't know him well enough so i don't really care about him being voted off (its better tho tbh cause i genuinely like and care about michael and drew, lets be real matthew.) not sure if its a timezone thing or just my sheer laziness and lack of social game, i am unsure.

omfg im immune at double tribal. im coming 15th again tho. i hope not. idk. like. i think ill be fine even if we swap..... like. i think im good with quite a few people? despite the fact ive disappeared this week ok yeah that's true i think i'm wrong. we'll see :sob:

Do I want to keep Drew and Michael? Absolutely. Does that mean I'm okay with Bodhi going? Fuck no. Bodhi is loyal to me, Bodhi will not turn on me, Bodhi is not a threat to me. But Bodhi is threatening to Alyssa and Matt and they're my closest allies and they want to keep Drew and Michael and now we're blindsiding Bodhi because tribal lines DON'T FUCKING MATTER. I mean don't get me wrong, fuck tribal lines I'm so game to throw that shit in the fire but like, it's not the best move for me. Hopefully this bodes (bodhis haha punny) for me.

Ok now that I think about it going into a merge with less original numbers is actually good for us so maybe this isn't the worst. Idk I just feel bad I really wanted to work with Bodhi and now I basically have to cut him because it's majority on him either way and my allies don't trust him. Sucks man but it's allstars.

It's really next level that I am was able to

1. Keep the vote on Mo (Rhys campaigned against Stephen, and Bryce confirmed to me that Rhys wanted Stephen out) 2. Make Chris feel like he convinced me, and that I'm doing it for him and I, when mostly it's for me and partially for Bryce 3. Secure Zach's loyalty this round (calling with him and talking about game and non-game related things to re-establish our great rapport) 4. Keep Stephen in the dark about Rhys targeting him so that I can use that information for later

And this was all without much time on my hands.

Tribe Trust List 1. Chloe 2. Zach 3. Rhys 4. Stephen 5. Mo

Master Trust List 1. Bryce 2. Chris 3. Chloe 4. Mitch 5. Zach 6. Rhys 7. Stephen 8. Loris 9. Kori 10. Mo 11. Alyssa 12. Michael 13. Bodhi 14. Drew 15. Matt 16. Jack

god i hate this like no one ever wants to do what i want to do why do i have to be a brat every game. like its not like i want to its just ppl refuse to listen to what i want so yes ofc im gonna act out??? UGH

I guess I am about to find out if possible change is needed for my game or not moving forward. I can hope for a million things but all it takes is one to make it all hopeless

So some new information has come to me today. Chris has been approached by Kori with the idea of forming some kind of Tuatha/Orfeo Alliance. This is sort of what I wanted to do already but the fact that other people are proposing it is just great for me.

This just adds another reason to vote Mo out. He's original Cyrena and could become a part of a resistance to this group once merge hits. I'm personally pulling for this alliance to be made. It just brings me one step closer to the end and unites my major allies (Chris, Mitch, Jared, Kori) under a single flag.

---

ANNNNNND There's been some drama on the old Orfeo tribe! Mo admitted to me that he's tried to vote me out, but due to the fact that people aren't talking to him, he now thinks the vote has switched to him, which is, hopefully, correct. If Mo had made a proposal like this to me right after we lost the challenge or before, I would've had to think about it, but as it stands, he's one person who has seriously thrown my name out there. I can't let that slide.

So, I devised a plan.

Step 1: Lie

How DARE Mo throw my name out there? I would never do something like that to him! Except I did, to everyone on the tribe, whoops. It's okay though, I lied and said Rhys did it, and I think he believed me.

Step 2: Join the resistance

Mo wants to get Rhys out, great. I'm happy it's not me. But that's a bad and unrealistic idea. SO I told him that in order to get a 3rd person willing to tie with us, we should target Chloe instead, and aim to recruit Jared.

Step 3: Recruitment

Now me and Mo are trying to recruit Jared one hour before tribal council. Except, not really. It's just Mo. I've told Jared about my plan to get Mo's vote off of me and he's in on it. Now, Jared can tell Mo the truth, or lie, and it doesn't really matter. Mo seems to feel too guilty to vote for me at this point. So mission accomplished.

Villains DO have more fun, don't they?

(I'm gonna look like such a dumb jackass if this plan doesn't work whoop, but oh well, I managed to fit one contrived plan into my time on All-Stars, so it's worth it!)

So right now I’m very nervous about this vote because even though people have said I’m safe I know bodhi is voting for me and he might just have an idol so like that’s my worry of getting idolled out lollll but uh I’m pretty worried about tonight so worried I might just throw my vote onto Drew and really protect myself and give me at least a little chance of staying due to an idol but who knows!

I think this is my last day which makes me incredibly sad. I feel like a failure if I’m being honest. There’s a slim chance I’ll stay. I had such a fun time playing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was destined to be an early boot

Update:

So I can't use Rhys campaigning against Stephen this round as effectively.

Stephen knows his name was thrown out by Mo, because Mo TOLD him. Then Mo made a pitch to Stephen to work together, and Stephen told Mo that I might vote Chloe.

Long-story-short, it was just a ploy by Stephen to get Mo's vote off of him. I did a lil magic to make Stephen feel secure that I had his best intentions at heart, and I let Mo down easily that he is going home.

Mo was a fighter in this game and I give him all due respect. Now watch him idol me out ugh 16th looks cute on me

YAAASSSSS we woooooooonnn! I'm so happy to be avoiding this double tribal. If I can make merge at least that'd be a dream.

I had a conversation with Bryce and Chris and they don't seem opposed to doing a sort of pagonging of the Cyrenas because we talk with them the least. I'm not sure if that'll actually be an option come merge but if it is that'd definitely help me make it deeper in this game as a majority of my connections are my OG tribe barring Clohie, Chris, Loris, Drew, and Bodhi. Honestly if more OG Cyrena's like Matt, Alyssa, Jack, and Michael found themselves going this premerge I wouldn't complain.

I'm getting real tired of missing this idol system time window like a dolt though, I've no doubt I'm gonna pay for it later. But I also did win my game without idols so it's not like I HAVE to have them. It'd just be nice to shake things up since I did wanna play differently this time.

Anywho back to celebrating! Woooooooo~

WHY DOES MY TRIBE SUCK AT EVERYTHING....At least they're not voting me out this round. Matt tried to give me an "option" after an hour negotiation that Alyssa already said he was down for, but he wanted me to think it was coming from him. Isn't that adorable.

RIP Bodhi

Hmm 27

hmmmmmmmm

I know, some spicy mentiongs maybe? so warning about that

but also an asshole aproacheth its gonna get intense

Orfeo

Calliope sat alone in her castle sipping tea. Things had gotten back to some semblance of normal and she was greatful for it. Now was an awful time for her though, being in heat and all. She wanted so desperately to go to Cuckoo and have them help her but......knowing how this was the only time for her able to....end up with child...She didn’t want to risk it.

She took calming breaths and busied herself to stop such feelings from taking control. Easy enough right? She’s been around since the beginning she could handle this right?

Gods this is difficult!

Calliope slammed down what she was sewing. She looked down when the shape of it caught her attention and she loudly sighed, “apparently I have baby fever......” It was a baby spider onsie. How cute~. Calliope set it to the side and sipped her tea shaking her head, “Maybe if I just leave for a bit I can..” She looked up surprised to hear her bell ringing, “now who on earth....” She stood up a but shakily. When she reached the door she opened it and peeked outside, “...Hello?” She opened it more and found no one outside, “no ones playing a prank on me....I don’t smell anyone. Certainly no humans....hmmm..” She hurriedly closed the door and locked it, “Strange...Might just be the ghosts.”

“Are you sure about that?” Calliope froze then turned to glare at the source of the voice, recognizing it, “How did you find me.....” A man descended the stairs sliding down the railing, “It wasn’t that hard dear, you know I follow wherever Death goes.” He smirked as he landed at the bottom of the steps. Calliope growled at him, “Get out....” “What’s wrong poppet~ Didn’t you miss me?” he walked over and gave a pouty lip, “I sure missed you my poppet~” She moved to get away from him, “Stay away from me, I am not yours.” He grabbed her wrist and she snatched it away, “Do not Touch me!” “What’s wrong...the Grim Reaper doesn’t want me to help her in her time of need~” He said in a mocking tone. “I don’t need or want Your help.” She stated as a matter of factly. “Oh what seriously~” He appeared in front of her in a cloud of smoke, “Who else among our kind would want to help Death herself.” He took her hand in his, “We’ve known each other since the beginning Calliope. I know you better than anyone else, we were brought into this world the same way...we are the alike in so many ways.”

“We are nothing alike!” She snatched her hand away from him again and hurried up the stairs. He just watched her go, “oooh no.....whatever shall I do....she’s running away...and up the stairs no less. I don’t know where you plan on going up there but I will find you~” He made his way up slowly. Calliope was farther ahead and deep into the castle. Doors slammed as she past them by, she hoped they would serve as some distraction. Her scent was all over the castle it should be somewhat difficult to find her. She hated this vile man so much, he represented manipulation and everything that was false. It’s a wonder he had any descendents that turned out decent. She locked herself in a room and put up a shield, knowing he wouldn’t be able to pass it. He came upon the door and knocked ever so gently, “Little reaper little reaper let me in~”

“Go...Away...” She said trying to stay calm. He pounded on the door, “I said Let me in! You will let me in whether you like it or not! Destiny has chained you to me forever.” He growled as he pounded on the door but Calliope was able to hold him back. Calliope shook her head, “That’s what you think Orfeo. That’s never what happened at all. You just choose to think that way.” A roar was heard from the other side of the door. He couldn’t teleport into the room for he tried and failed, it fucking burned when he tried. “You will regret this Calliope, I’ll make you see things my way! See you around...Lady Death~” Calliope listened and heard laughter.....soon enough nothing but silence. She wouldn’t leave yet.....no...she didn’t trust him not one bit. He was a liar after all.
