And I'm not here.
Go.

Go.
You put on a show to hide what's underneath, too.
[Does Morgan do that too? Well, look at what came out of him when she'd been looking to take a life. Despite everything, Morgan runs far, far deeper mentally and philosophically than he shows.]
[Deep enough that his convictions could quote literally change reality. That's how Magick-with-a-k works, after all. He might not be able to do it here, but that didn't make him any less of a strong (stubborn) personality.]
You just have a lot more trouble letting go of that show.

oh yes there are. It's like 'I know you are but what am I?'
I know how you feel!
[Crow shares the same sentiment. His bandmates are his best friends, but sadly he's too prideful to admit that to their faces or they'll make fun of him!]
I'm still hoping they might appear one day.

Do you really think all of this is some sort of pretence?
[And did that mean half of what Morgan presented was an act, as well?]
...I've not lied to you about everything I've done. Or what I'd do to achieve my own ends, don't mistake that.

Eh, I don't want to drag my guys here out of their peaceful lives if I can. Some of them would adore it but they got family to consider, and -- eh, there's some other stuff too. [Like poor Stormy who'd been through hell and back so recently. She needs rest and grounding, not adventure!]
[He holds up a hand quickly.] No, no! Not a pretense. A show. Yes, absolutely a part of you is that sorceress who has committed acts of wrath and revenge, a dark and terrible presence to be feared. But that's not all there is to you at all. You put it out there front and center with the way you talk and act and dress, and try to keep the rest hidden. The part that's decent, and kind, and makes sandwiches for a friend, and gets flustered or nervous... You don't want people to see that, not at first, anyway.
Oh? Well if they have other responsibilities then it makes sense that they don't come!
[His bandmates are pretty young and don't really have families to think about. So it's easier for them to pack up and go, even for a little adventure. The beauty of youth!]
Though we can form a new band and create some connections here! It won't be the same as playing with our friends back home, but it'll still be fun!

[She grew quiet as she listened to his words...]
I wonder about that...when the world insists you are evil, why show them anything else? Why not become that dark entity you were made out to be?
And where does this leave you?

Because it's not who you are. That much is obvious. [As far as Caster's concerned, anyway. He's had thoughts about that sort of thing before, though his ultimate answer is pretty obvious, right?]
Me? No one needs to hear the huge ramblings about the perfection of self, moving in flow with the universe, right thoughts and deeds, mindfulness, any of that. Me, I'm an iceberg. The part up top is all anyone really NEEDS to know or deal with. Nothing's stopping then from ducking down to explore the rest, but that's an extra trip out of their way.

Not an unrewarding trip, in my opinion. But you hardly hid your philosophies with me when we debated on our first meeting.
Well sure, but you wouldn't play board games. [Remember how that'd been his first offer?]
like you since you can make arguments like this while drinking?
It won't be the same, but it'll be fun and good in its own right, and isn't that what matters?
Yeah, totally agree! I guess we need to figure out what kind of sound we're going for? Maybe that'll come together when we start seeking other members, yeah?
[ He used to the basic guitar, bass, and drums combination. It'll be interesting to add other instruments into the mix and see what becomes of it.]

I'm a hard-rock-slash-metal kind of guy myself, but I'm flexible. It's not like I do any writing or composing or anything, so heck if I've got room to offer opinions.
Yeah, I kind of lean that way myself. I wrote the lyrics for my band before, but without a clear vision, I'll probably have trouble writing songs. Composition is important, we need someone with a good musical ear!
[His ears only work when he hears himself, so he's quite biased.]

I guess we need to find someone with those skills. Can't lean entirely on just looking and sounding good!
I mean I'm sure the audience won't mind some good eye candy, either way! But we can sound even better with the right composer!
We should announce recruitment over the network and see if we can get any bites.

[Morgan nods!] We need bass, drummer, and maybe a keyboardist. And in a perfect world one of them is an amazing bard that can play literally any instrument, but that might be getting greedy.
Those would be ideal! I met someone here, who could play the violin and the drums, so it's possible! They're in a band already, so unfortunately I can't ask them to join.
Hey, people can be in two bands. But yeah, that's a plan B. I haven't met any other musicians yet, sadly.
That's true, I'm sure he'd help us out if I ask, but I haven't seen him in a while. That's a shame! There are so many talented people here. There's another band, some people who sing or rap, and even people who play classical instruments.
