This is the first song referenced in the current draft of #VoxMortis. I picked it because FOB had gotten me through a *lot* of hard times and it fits the mood of Vale leaving her hard times in the rescue mirror at the start of her story. #SongsofSeptember

Vale runs the cemetery w/ her familiars. She is in a throuple with Eli & Gavin. Loves Pozole. Likes Tomatoes, Rose Quartz, Iris. Dislikes arugula, gold, oyster. Hates cauliflower

Her heart events are about exorcising ghosts as Mot's chisen (often w/ Gavin's help), one of which is in YOU #VoxMortis

Vale picks Eli; Eli won't eat her when his survival skills prove inadequate

Gavin picks Vale cus he's tryna spend that time kissin on her

Eli picks Darien; he can make portals

Darien picks Vale so he can trade a portal home for a hit of vox juice

Lukas picks Emily. Bffs 4 lyfe #VoxMortis

Eli prefers a bath at the end of the day. So does Gavin (he remodeled his bathroom to have nice tub big enough for company before he gave up the master bed/bath to his daughter so she could feel like she has her own space in his house); he showers in the morning after going to the gym. #VoxMortis

Eli's second passion, after Ganzerite football (soccer), is dog breeding/training, which he does on hard mode because it's hard to predict temperament and utility when you don't know what elemental spirit(s) will claim a litter before they're born. #VoxMortis

Vale and Gavin go from this

music.youtube.com/watch?v=pqrU... (Artic Monkeys' "Do I wanna know?")

To this:

music.youtube.com/watch?v=QPQH... (Hozier's "De Selby (Part 2)")

And idk which I prefer to use here. #VoxMortis #SongsofSeptember

I'm going to dig up the last clear music reference I made in my current draft as that *should* be the last entry on my playlist for #VoxMortis but I've gotten lazy recently. #SongsofSeptember

Here we go: music.youtube.com/watch?v=HqRN...

#VoxMortis Eli arrives late to comfort Vale at the brewery concert = dead Vale = no vox to kiss Eli

Darien arrives late after Irv attacks Lukas = Dead Lukas = no one to distract Darien with affection = west coast vampire plague as he quickly loses control of his spawn.
