as the opening band , it's just part of vivienne's job to get the crowd hyped . she does exactly that , too . they all do . no one in strawberry rebellion leaves the stage without giving a major performance . they have a whole gig . some regular songs from the band , some songs where the girls of the band are the focus and vocals , and some cover music for the fun of it . the crowd loves it .

it's not until the girls go onto perform their songs that vivienne really shows what she's made of . the rhythm guitar stops for drum solo from her bandmate in the back ﹠ she walks down to the edge of the stage where she sees someone in the crowd holding up a sign for her . she reads it , then pulls them on stage to dare ﹠ give them a kiss in front of thousands of people in the arena . it lights up on the big screen behind them , camera's zoomed in on their spark of unexpected romance . by time vivienne is done with her , her lipstick is slightly smudged . only slightly , considering it is matte ﹠ she applied some extra strength , homemade setting spray .

a wink , a peck on the cheek , and a she sends @ofbookshelves on her way back down to the crowd ... it's not until after the show that they see each other again .

heathen is standing there , covered in blood . he's doing his post murder ritual , which involves singing ‘ hot to go ’ by chappell roan . why .ᐣ because he loves that song , that's why . he's whistling it , doing the dance ﹠ everything .

normally , talbot would tell somebody to fuck off for trying to comfort him . he's tired , but restless , after dealing with his family . it's emotional exhaustion more than anything . dunno , maybe they're right about him — maybe he's a spoiled , entitled brat who can't help himself .

whooooa , okay . not what she expected , but kind of hot . they're really gonna do this dance , huh .ᐣ coven attempts to disarm him , then twists his arm behind his back ﹠ pins him to the wall .

“ you wanna try that again , cutie .ᐣ ” they ask , giggling into his ear from behind . they've got him pulled down to their level to make this easier on the both of them ... eventually , they let go to pick up the knife ﹠ twirl it around in their fingers .

the assumption brings a frown to dean's face . he shakes his head ﹠ raises his hands defensively .

“ no , no — just concerned is all , ” he says , then continues to patch ziggy up . “ ya can't just go flying at things like a bat out of hell , ” he says sternly , but it's clear this is hard for him . he acts the same way some days , but he says it because he cares , not because he wants to be hard on them . a bandaid here ﹠ there , some gauze ﹠ tape elsewhere , and they're as good as new .
