Late Music Monday for The UnTitledverse, specifically for the last three chapters of my A Blast In The Past WIP, and a Last Line for WIPs for The Silver Chronicles and Life, Despair & Monsters and a colour palette results for my username. Colour Palette can be found here. Anyway, you can find these below the cut:
Chapter 3 of my A Blast In The Past WIP, called "Absolutely Anything" continues with Calvin being denied his POV, and the Narrator continuing to slander his name, in spite of Calvin's actions. Also more introduction to allies and enemies, as well as Calvin being desperate to just... leave. Hence the chapter's title. Sure his actions are warped by the Narrator to seem more incompetent/selfish than he actually is, but yeah. Not only is Calvin's character twisted by the Narrator's words, it's also literally everyone else, but Calvin gets the Narrator's hate boner the most.
"I used to be so beautiful, now look at me
My actions are undutiful, it's clear to see
Come on and step out of that cage
There's a new chapter, turn the page
I'll take my place up on the stage
All eyes on me!"
"I can hear you calling
Calling up to me
I'm falling down, I'm falling
Won't you set me free?
I'll do anything, anything
Anything that you need me to do
Absolutely anything for you
I will be aware of the ink, swim or sink
Watching out for anything out of the blue
But this nightmare's coming true
What have I got myself into?"
"Have you ever wondered what heaven is like?
I like to dream that it is quite beautiful
A soft valley of green grass blanketed by a warm sun
I don't think I'll ever get to see it
Are you ready to ascend, my little errand boy?
The heavens are waiting."
"You'll do anything, anything
Anything that I ask you to do
But you don't have a clue
'Cause I can guarantee, guarantee
That demon's always after me and you
But this nightmare is coming true
Look what you've got yourself into."
Chapter 4's the darkest chapter, hence given the name "Art Of Darkness". Calvin's got his hands full with subtracting the number of foes he's got to deal with, meanwhile being psychologically tormented by the Narrator and the environment around that's sole purpose is to beat the shit out of him. Calvin gets closer to finding his exit... or at least, what the Narrator states is a lead.
"So sing along to the bouncing ball
Wave your flag and renounce these halls
You may have been sacked from this pantomime
But a pal of mine wants you recalled
So march along to the count of four
Astound at the scoundrel crowd you've drawn
Left stranded and damned to this mangled form
To abandon us here was an act of war."
"It's laughable to think you'll bring back the norm."
"We've ink, but no malpractice forms."
""But Henry! You never gave a crap before?"
'Til we trapped you down 'neath the factory floor."
"Clap along to the rapturous score
Three rounds down and back for more
To find the keys in chapter four."
"Remind me, where've you heard that before?"
"If you thought that demons were your problem right now
Well, the angel's on the stage so pipe down
If there are secrets that you want to find out
Hop on the ink machine and ride those pipes down
So you're on the path of the starving artist
But at the heart, well the art is heartless
Ever seen a masterpiece get discarded?
Start and depart for the art of darkness."
Chapter Five "Clearer" marks the finale of A Blast In The Past, the culmination of Calvin's journey and the mystery of his circumstances being revealed with the help of two intruders who the Narrator doesn't want anywhere near his playground. For Calvin, everything becomes... "clearer" in a way.
"Wake up in the wrong place at the wrong time
Got to run away, no way out
Thought I had new friends, new allies, but they won't let me escape
I pray that we make it out alive
I see the writing on the wall again
Breaking out of here
Everything's clearer
We haven't even reached the end, but we make our own way
And we are not gonna stay
Almost took all our blood, sweat, and tears to take down all our fears
We're brave, but I pray that we make it out alive
I see the writing on the wall again
Breaking out of here
Everything's clearer
We haven't even reached the end, but we make our own way
I have conquered demons of every kind
But I wish that we could rewind all the years
Power and justice, it was everything he wanted
But despite it all, he could never find what he was looking for
Now here we are at the end
I see the writing on the wall again
Breaking out of here
Everything's clearer
We haven't even reached the end, but we make our own way
And we are not gonna stay-ay-ay-ay
We'll never stay
We will escape."

Still got my Coroner!Silva AU WIP No Snake, Only A Boa In The Garden from The Silver Chronicles. Anyway, have some Faith Seed POV as she falls for Coroner!Silva and falls hard (not that she already wasn't in an earlier scene where Silva charmed her with her strange hyper-fixations on the science behind corpses):
Faith wasn't sure if her words were making any sense to Silva. Botany was vastly different from forensic science. It'd help to prepare the coroner for when she eventually joined their family, especially as "the Mother" like Joseph had proclaimed. As she continued to speak, she took a chance to glance at her bench mate.
The first thing Faith noticed was Silva's eyes. Usually they were a dulled grey, without a light of life in them. There seemed to be a glow in the rings of her irises; a burning intensity, like molten silver. She held a dedicated gaze, absorbing and absorbed by every word that spilled from Faith's mouth, even as she began to slow and falter in her observation. The acute stare was different from Joseph's; his held a power that felt like he was judging a person's soul. Silva's though held no judgemental scrutiny; only a warm admiration that passed over her soul like an embrace. It almost felt like Silva was actually hearing every word Faith blurted out of her lips.
Faith swears she's seen this look before, or something close to it. Yes, right, Nadi. This expression was a similar kind she noticed on Nadi whenever John was around or even mentioned, which was often. Faith had often shaken her head at the Sinclair women's transitioned from a "dutiful bodyguard" to a "lovesick puppy" the moment John entered the frame; something Faith would combat with a teasing smile and an eye roll at the silly display, always finding herself satisfied that such antics would never happen with her, that level of attention unnecessary compared to the Father's approval.
And yet, Faith found herself breathless and unfairly unprepared in the face of the level of attention Silva's given her. Though she recognized just how contrasting the coroner's was from Nadi's own. The sharpshooter's was rooted in a kind of inexperienced love; a childish crush really, an envisioned idolized image Nadi built around the few virtues John displays, ignoring the glaring flaws John has. But Silva's gaze was more grounded, a reserved devotion almost saved for Faith; a maturity and experience Faith often laments not being given a chance to have herself. Just as she listened to Faith, it felt as if Silva was seeing Faith as well. Not as the Siren. Not as a herald. Not even as Rachel. Just... her. Just as she is now.
By now, Faith had ceased talking, just entrapped in the eyes of the woman next to her. Heart pounding, a red flushing on her face as she managed to ask Silva with a wavering smile, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
The Sheriff's coroner leaned against the support of her arm, gloved knuckles against under her cheek. Faith noticed her lips were slightly ajar, glistened with a natural shine as Silva seemed to think of an answer. She observed as Silva's expression shifted, displaying a coy smirk that was almost sly of amorous. The ridiculous thought caused her heart to flutter as anticipation coiled in her innards. Silva shuffled and leaned a shy bit closer to Faith, the recipient trying to swallow her nerves at the change of atmosphere, awaiting Silva's answer.
And here's a Last Line Tag for my Sonya's Push WIP from my Life, Despair & Monsters series. Enjoy the little snippet of one of the most toxic w|w couples I've made thus far:
A steam of hot air blew pass the clenched jaw of the mechanical Beastie, its optic shining a red hue onto her flesh. Jennifer sucked in a breath and shuddered as the heat stung her exposed shoulders. The Apex, Sonya, whatever name Malvolio's Beastie crowned itself with, hadn't immediately given her an answer. She tried to struggle against the tail's curled hold around her legs, waist, and arms.
Just like last time, she only succeeded in causing the tail to coil tighter, effectively pinning her hands to her tattered and dirty golden dress. The fear of her body's circulation being cut off suddenly occurred, so she ceased the struggle, hoping to gain the Apex's favour as it inspected her from the ground, circling as the panic and fear rumbled in her stomach. Jennifer was unsure what fate awaited her. She hoped her words made an effort in appealing to whatever human desire remained in the Beastie, but if she were to die, she'd wish it to be quicker than what Dicko received.
Anyway here's the results for the colour palette name game:
Nice to see I got some blues and purples and even a bit of greys. I can live with the reds and the darker/paler colours I guess but what's that lone random greenish-blue doing there, poor sod.
