#tdk Zombie Apocalypse Team Leader ★ ★ in a crown of pepperoni and artisan cheese This was happening.
This was REALLY happening.
Vesper Bayliss, who had just graduated ONE YEAR AGO, was standing front and center on the WWN Music Festival stage; West and Nigel to either side of her....and Ascanius on a raised platform overlooking them. The stage was bathed in total darkness; the only light coming from the array of lit wands in the crowd...........and Vesper wasn't nervous.
There was something buzzing in the air; something kinetically changed and ALIVE. A pulse and heartbeat in this Festival crowd.....and she felt everything they were feeling. The hairs on the back of her neck prickled and a shiver coursed through her body. Introducing the finale act of the night, The Dead Kneazles!
West struck a cord. Nigel followed suit. Ascanius started counting them off.
Tambourine in hand, Ves closed her eyes and took a calming couple of breathes. This was THEIR moment. People were screaming THEIR name. They were here for THEM. They could do this.
The lights came up and her eyes immediately sought out West. Ready?
