Vox's performance for @theserpnt drag night
In fact, Vox wasn't gonna perform. Not at all. He was gonna get drunk, stare at people in nice dresses, maybe, steal a dance or two from the public and call it a night.
But since he refuses to stop on the two drinks, offered by the ticket (limitation, which was obviously there for common good), Vox starts getting ideas.
Even here, on drag night, he needs to steal the spotlight, no matter if he does it only for a few minutes.
Vox's unexpected performance starts with a snap of his fingers - and the entire venue plunges into the darkness, as electricity gets shut down.
It doesn't last for long; slowly, one by one, there are screens, appearing in the air above the stage, providing dim lighting.
Then there are drums and guitar riff flooding the hall, as the song starts.
And then, in the middle of the stage, there is Vox, looking mighty satisfied with his mischief; usually very touchy about his masculinity and his image, now he projects a more feminine face on his screen. He waves his left hand in the air, greeting the host of the event ( @theserpnt) and other guests, as his right hand holds the mic.
Haven't heard from you in a couple of months
But I'm out right now, and I'm all fucked up
And you're callin' my phone, you're all alone
And I'm sensin' some undertone"
Vox commits to the bit, so now there is a relatively short silver skirt (even drunk, he consciously avoided anything mini) and white shirt.
"And I'm right here with all my friends
But you're sending me your new address
I know we're done, I know we're through
But, God, when I look at you"
Vox theatrically puts a palm of his hand to the side of his monitor.
"My brain goes, "Ah"" his voice gets staticky and glitchy on purpose.
"Can't hear my thoughts," the other screens produce sound of his voice, creating the chorus.
"(I cannot hear my thoughts)
Like blah-blah-blah (blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah)
Should probably not (I should probably, probably not)
I should probably, probably not"
Vox turns into a lightning (that's gonna cost him the next morning, when he realizes just how much power he wasted on that performance), and appears next to Lilith's ( @first-sinner-of-hell) table.
"Seein' you tonight, it's a bad idea, right?" his claws make a gesture, as if he was gonna caress Queen's face, but Vox pulls away immediately, smirking, and moving to the next table to do the same trick on some unsuspecting guest.
"Seein' you tonight, it's a bad idea, right?
Seein' you tonight, it's a bad idea, right?
Seein' you tonight," his eyes land on the multitude of Radio Demons in the room.
Media Overlord reappears on the stage, moving smoothly to the beat, as he gets to the chorus part; the screens above the stage get filled with photos of Vox's dissatisfied associates, Valentino and Velvette.
"Yes, I know that he's my ex," Vox gestures to them, as if defending himself through dance.
"But can't two people reconnect?
"I only see him as a friend," the biggest lie I ever said
Oh yes, I know that he's my ex, but can't two people reconnect?
I only see him as a friend, I just tripped and fell into his bed"
On the last words, Vox pretends he's about to drop on the stage, but he raises himself up a second before his back touches the floor; the screens go back to lighting the stage.
"Now I'm gettin' in the car, wreckin' all my plans," Vox turns to one of his doubles that he had a conversation with (@televeyesing). He looks his alternative option in the eyes.
"I know I should stop..." he confesses to him, and shrugs with a reckless smirk.
"...But I can't."
He turns and sends a small lightning to Mira ( @mira-the-infinite-storm ), who looks positively like an exorcist; the lightning doesn't cause any harm, simply puffs up her black feathers. Same fate awaits Angel ( @eccentricity-en-personae), whose fur gets properly fluffed up. Vox is in a playful mood, so none of them is hurt.
"And I told my friends I was asleep
But I never said where or in whose sheets!"
Now Vox raises himself above the stage; it's much harder with two wires that were left with him after the dramatic drop in ratings after the Incident, but he manages, tilting himself slightly forward, looking over the crowd, singling someone out.
His finger points at Alastor ( @broadcasting-screams-since-33), the one he came to the event with.
"And I pull up to your place, on the second floor
And you're standing, smiling at the door,"
Vox is definitely having fun, since he smirks wider, showing his sharp shark-like teeth, looking like he is about to chuckle from mirth, and crosses his arms on his chest, pretending to be pensive.
"And I'm sure I've seen much hotter men
But I really can't remember when!"
Media Overlord twirls in the air, before landing back on stage; all of his screens support him, creating chorus.
"My brain goes, "Ah"
Can't hear my thoughts (I cannot hear my thoughts)
Like blah-blah-blah (blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah)
Should probably not (I should probably, probably not)
I should probably, probably not..."
Vox uses electrical discharges on the stage as his special effects; they surround him, sizzling and cracking, growing brighter with every line.
"Seein' you tonight, it's a bad idea, right?
Seein' you tonight, it's a bad idea, right?
Seein' you tonight, it's a bad idea, right?
Seein' you tonight..."
He dismissively waves his hand at the audience, as if they were trying to talk him out of his decisions, and then winks at all the viewers.
And with a flick of his wrist the entire venue plunges into darkness once again. When the electricity returns five seconds later, Vox is already back at the bar in the modest attire he wore to the event and giggling, like a schoolboy whose mischief went unpunished.
