#c:dusk

Mod note: Sorry for not drawing UV this time! Doc had sent their ask first and I had begun changing poses when I saw UV's come in too and decided that the questions would be too similar to answer separately.

Dusk was in her own little world, just playing around with her drum sticks trying to nail down the new song she was working on with the band and really immersed in what she was doing, scribbling down words in her journal, honestly she was writing down a bunch of incomplete songs or phrases but she knew one day her and the girls would piece it together and actually have a full song eventually. She heard someone sit down with her and she looked up an intimidating look on her face in case it was a rude to sit down with a stranger, but when she realized who it was the look of pure confusion melted away and a big smile took it’s place. Dusk moved her backpack to the ground incase they wanted to sit closer and she pulled at the sleeves of her sweatshirt looking up at them “I mean, not that I’m not happy to see you I just wasn’t expecting you, I thought you had plans, whatever the reason I am happy to see you, If I look at this song book anymore I may cry please take it away from me.”   

Cloud, River, and Dusk are open for questions.

Dusk was just sitting there toying with her dagger she had brought with her, honestly just looking around wondering at this current moment what man she was planning on toying with till she grew bored and killed him, never really keeping men around her for long, at this point she saw them more as play things than someone to love being too scorned even if her potions and spells were the exact reason she was in this predicament in the first place, finding too much joy in watching them squirm. What pulled her out of her thoughts was Thorn approaching her and she smiled up at her with a mischievous grin "I was just thinking about you, I was wondering if you would be interested in finding someone for me to torment for the night? I can't remember the last man I killed and honestly that means it has been far too long, wouldn't you help me? It be so much more if we tortured a man together what do you say?"  

Dusk was sitting on the kitchen counter scribbling incomplete song lyrics in her journal, the couch was currently being invaded by their band equipment they hadn’t properly unloaded after tour, she could realistically sit in her room but if she went to her room she would get comfy and probably end up napping, and in fairness her bandmates were being patient with her additions to the lyrics but she was always too hard on herself because she couldn’t finish them as fast as Luna and Thorn. She had her headphones on listening to music so she didn’t hear the door open at first it wasn’t till she saw something out of the corner of his eye and she lifted her head and smiled as she noticed it was Luna, she hadn’t seen them in a few days and she had missed them. She took her headphones motioning them to come over “Please say you’re here to eat junkfood and not talk about the lyrics I haven’t finished yet, because I think I’d cry if you told me you were disappointed in me.” 

You would think after all this time the girls wouldn't get nervous going on stage, but even after all the shows they have done no matter the size of it, the girls were always riddled with nerves. Luna was in the middle of drinking her pre-show tea and Dusk was twirling her sticks watching Thron fidget nervously as she stood in the green room looking at herself in the mirror, her body language was screaming anxiety and it was obvious she was full of nerves. So Dusk sat her drum sticks down pushing herself from her chair as she moved to Thorn holding her hands out for her to take and leaned in "Come with me for a second it won't be long we won't miss our call time I promise." Before she could answer she started tugging her hands pulling her out to the hallway opening their shared dressing room and tugged her inside before shutting the door behind them. She stood on her tiptoes to wrap her arms easily around her neck pulling her as close to her as possible softly nuzzling her nose against hers before whispering softly "I notice you were nervous and I thought I'd give you some good luck kisses before our set hmm?" She pressed her to her lips so gently before she started peppering kisses to her lips over and over again before pressing her lips to her more firmly kissing her deeply, humming against her lips before finally pulling away from her lips still just centimeters from hers ghosting lightly as she whispered, "Now did that help calm your nerves any or do I need to kiss you again just for good measure?"

​Dusk made them get ready in separate rooms, just because she was being overdramatic and wanted her outfit to be a surprise, even though Thorn could easily have looked and seen it in her closet if she truly wanted to. But as Dusk had put the finishing touches on her makeup and set her face she had tried to slip her dress on and ran into a problem, she couldn't zip it on her own. So as embarrassing as it could potentially be, she stepped out of her dress leaving her just in her slip and she opened her door walking down the hallway. She lightly knocked not really waiting for an answer finding Thorn at the bathroom doing her makeup. She stood in the doorframe for a moment still holding her dress in her hand just smiling as she looked at her in an oversized shirt just clearly wearing someone comfy as she got ready. She walked in more looking at Thorn in the mirror holding up her dress for her to see smiling softly "So remember how I said I wanted to get ready separately so it would be a surprise? Well, I didn't account for the fact that I can't even zip my dress up on my own, so when you're done with your makeup will you please help me zip it up? I'll even go to the kitchen while you're finishing up and get you a glass of wine as a way to bribe you for helping me, if I hadn't insisted on us being in separate rooms for the surprise of it all we wouldn't even be in this situation." She pouted softly still looking at her in the mirror "Please? Don't make me beg you know how I don't beg but I'd beg for you if I had to."  

Dusk was putting the final touches on her own makeup before smiling at herself in the mirror, her and the girls never really got to go out much for themselves anymore, and sure the club scene in Sparkwood wasn’t really as booming as they were used to but they always knew how to have a good time together. She turned to look and see how Thorn was coming along with her makeup and she smiled as she was attempting to do her eyeliner on her left eye which she always struggled with and she was currently using a makeup wipe to removed where she messed up, she shook her head smiling “Why don’t you just ask for help you know you always struggle with doing that eye here let me help you.” She walked over taking the makeup wipe from her hand and sat down in her lap straddling her easily before gently removing the eyeliner and taking it from her hand “Do you want just a regular wing or something special tonight hmm? What liner look are you going for and I’ll help you.”
