I would love to go to a gay bar where there's big band music. Fuck, I'd like to go to a bar period where they had big band music. I'd dance all night. I've been to a couple of gay bars but they always play that techno dance music shit.

Chapter 202 Half an hour later, they found themselves at the gay bar, the Green Hat. It was decorated like a 40's nightclub, ala the Coconut Grove or the Copacabana: fake palm trees, coconuts, painted foliage on the walls and the ceiling resembling a blue sky with clouds overhead. A big band on a dais played soft jazz music as gay couples danced. Most of the couples looked normal, but several of the men wore elaborate drag with makeup and wigs, looking like old-fashioned movie stars. "What do you want to drink?", asked Perttu, pulling out the chair for her. "I'll have a white Russian", she replied. "And get some beers for us", said Antero, as Perttu talked to the waiter, who wore a top hat and tails, ala Fred Astaire. "Yeah, and there's Ginger over there. Is it me or does that dude look like Jean Harlow?", she asked, gesturing to a man in a platinum wig and white dress. "Yeah. I love her movies, my favorites are Dinner at Eight and Red Dust. She could probably turn me straight", joked Antero, as the waiter in the tuxedo got their drinks. "Does Dave know we're gay?", asked Perttu, drinking his beer. "Yeah, he knows. I've heard him tell gay jokes, but he's not homophobic, one of his System Lords is gay. He might have a problem with me hanging out with you if you were straight, but you're no competition. Besides, it sure beats going to a strip club", she replied, taking a sip of her drink. "Yes, we have no reason to go to a strip club, I don't like seeing women like that. We read that Q and A thing, you are as intelligent as you are lovely", said Perttu gallantly. "Thanks. I liked it, talking to the fans is great. One guy wanted to know if I was going to marry him, yeah right. And another guy wanted to know if I would pose for Playboy. Mom would throw a fit", she giggled. "Are you really into the Silmarillion, Kitty? Most people have trouble reading it", said Perttu. "Yeah, Mom's a big fan and she used to read Tolkien to me when I was a kid. The Silmarillion is hard to read but then the rest of it makes more sense. My Dad was into Lovecraft, Mom says that the morning after I came back from the hospital, she saw Dad reading to me from an illustrated version of Lovecraft. When I was a kid, I thought that Cthulo lived under the bed", she laughed. "Lovecraft is hard to read, especially if you aren't a native English speaker like me, and it's harder if you read it in Finnish. The English he uses is so weird", said Antero. "I don't get it either. But Tolkien is God, I have all of his books and the maps and guides. I also have a copy of Anduril that I got made when I was in Novgorod on holiday", said Perttu proudly. "I'd love to have a sword, but not Anduril. I want a copy of the sword Eowyn uses to kill the Witch King", she sighed. |

That club sounds sooooo badass Vanessa. You described it so very well. My husband actually just finished reading the Silmarillion not too long ago. He likes those books a lot, but they go over my little blonde head. Anywho, that chapter was awesome. The dialogue rocked and I am eagerly awaiting the next. |

That club sounds so amazing! I'd much rather go to a classy gay bar/nightclub than a nudie bar. All the gay bars I've been to were sort of sleazy, though. Nothing like the lovely one you described. And I love Drag Queens- the good ones are AMAZING. I especially loved this description:
That sounds absolutely dreamy!! |

Sorry for the delay, but I was busy this morning Chapter 203 Olivia felt a shiver of apprehension go through her. I know we're going to meet Metallica, but I'm not in the band, it's not like they're going to be interested in me, she reminded herself. HIM was at the venue in Seattle, setting up from soundcheck. All round them, roadies set up amplifiers and instruments, the feedback ringing in the air. Olivia had to smile when she saw Linde play a few chords on his guitar, the sounds ringing in the air. "Are you lost, young lady?", asked a female voice. Olivia turned around and saw an attractive middle-aged woman smiling kindly at her. She was very tall and slim, coppery-red hair in soft waves around her face and wearing jeans with a black t-shirt, an all access pass around her neck. "Not really, I'm just looking around. Linde is my guardian, I was watching them set up, madam", she replied. "That's the guitarist in HIM? My daughter's a big fan, and you look familiar", she mused aloud. "I am Olivia Lindstrom, madam", she replied. The woman's blue eyes widened, a frown on her face. "You remind me of a girl I once knew, my name is Avery Burton", she said. Avery looked at the girl curiously. She looks just like Elinor, except for her eyes. But where is she, and why is Linde her guardian? I didn't know she had relatives in Finland, she mused. "Well, follow me. I'm an assistant tour manager, I'm in charge of the backstage arrangements and my son is one of Kirk's guitar techs", she said, leading the girl backstage. Lars had just emerged from the bathroom. He smiled at Avery and noticed the girl. She looks just like Elinor, what the hell?, he wondered. "Hey Avery. Shane's fixing an amp, it keeps feeding back", he said. "Wow, you're Lars Ulrich", said Olivia, her eyes wide. "The one and only. Avery, you know I'm too old for groupies", he teased. "Of course. Lars, this is Olivia, she's with HIM, Linde is her guardian", she said. Lars shook her hand, smiling at her. "Very nice to meet you, Olivia. I'm too old for groupies anyway, hope you enjoy yourself at the show", he said graciously, smiling at her. He went back to his dressing room, his heart pounding in his ears. That girl looks just like Elinor. Is that her daughter?, he wondered. Lars felt guilty for cheating on her like that. That was the stupidest thing I've ever done. If I can, I'm going to make it up to her, he vowed. |

Yay! Lars and Olivia meet. I think that he's really going to be shaken when he finds out what happened to poor Elinor. I'm surprised that Avery being her best friend, never knew about her daughter or about her death. I guess they lost touch. This is getting really good Vanessa! I can't wait until Lars finds out.

Chapter 204 Catriona peered into the mirror, putting on the finishing touches of her makeup. This is awesome, I'm going to be singing with Apo, she thought, applying a thin coat of mascara to her lashes. Satisfied, she stepped back and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Catriona wore a deep, rich pink dress the color of a rose in full bloom. It was made of pink velvet, the skirt flaring at the waist and falling just above her ankles to reveal her red ruby slippers, just like Dorothy's. The bodice was made of black satin with the laces tight, revealing the tops of her very fair breasts. Her auburn hair was swept back from her face in a pompadour, a few loose curls around her face. Catriona cleared her throat and sang a few scales to loosen her vocal chords. After a few rounds, she took a sip of tea and sang Sempre Libera from La Traviata, her glorious soprano filling the air. There was a discreet knock on the door and Perttu stepped in. He wore black leather pants and a white shirt; with his long hair and goatee, he resembled a pirate. "Bravissimo, Kitty. Your voice in fine form, La Traviata? I am partial to Wagner myself, but Verdi is just as good", he said, plopping down on the couch. "Kiitos, Perttu. I am a Wagner girl myself, but it's a bit difficult for me to sing as I don't speak German. Since Italian and Spanish are similar, it's easier", she replied, drinking her tea. "I can speak German pretty good, I learned it so I could read Herman Hesse in the original. Tonight, you are going to sing Path. Any problems?", he asked. "No, I know the lyrics already. This is going to be like singing Tout Le Monde with Megadeth", she said reassuringly. "We're going in a few, see ya", he said, getting up from her couch. Catriona finished her tea and followed him out the door. She could hear the buzz of the crowd, sounding like nervous insect. The rest of Beren's Dream was already there, except for Andrew. "Hey Kitty, the show's gonna be awesome", said Robin enthusiastically. "I know, Apo rules. But where's Andrew?", she asked. "He's probably fucking some groupie in his dressing room. He's turned into a douchebag. I hope he gets his ass over here before we go on", muttered Kurt. Catriona nodded in understanding, as the crowd cheered when Apocalyptica went onstage. All four of them sat behind their cellos, their drummer Mikko getting behind his kit. The group opened up with Prologue, the fast piece like a bolt from the heavens. Unlike most chamber music ensembles, their music was loud and aggressive, four cellos and drums making a sound to rival any metal band. Antero and Paavo wore the black suits of classical musicians, while Eicca and Perttu looked like metalheads with their long hair and tattoos. A pit even formed in front of the stage when they played Life Burns, the crowd singing along to the absent lyrics: We break our enemies with fear, and We've seen how the tears come around We've built our confidence on wasteland We've seen how the walls come down Life burns A man dies like a butterfly Life burns from the touch of the reaper All things must pass One love is a crooked lie The world lies in the hands of evil We pray it would last Life burns We have no sympathy for the lost souls We've chosen the path of disgrace We give this life to our children And teach them to hate this place A man dies like a butterfly Life burns from the touch of the reaper All things must pass One love is a crooked lie The world lies in the hands of evil We pray it would last A man dies like a butterfly Life burns from the touch of the reaper All things must pass One love is a crooked lie (The world lies in the hands of evil 5 x) A man dies like a butterfly Life burns from the touch of the reaper All things must pass One love is a crooked lie The world lies in the hands of evil We pray it would last Life burns! Life burns! Life burns! "I am sure you are familiar with this song, sing along if you know the words, Vancouver!", shouted Perttu, as they played Seek and Destroy. Catriona had a goofy grin on her face, as she headbanged furiously, a few curls shaking loose. "I want you all to be ladies and gentlemen for our special guest. Please welcome Miss Catriona Burton", said Eicca. Catriona took a deep breath and walked onstage. All eyes were on the tall, auburn-haired beauty in the pink dress as she walked onstage. Perttu smiled encouragingly at her as they played Path: I want to live in fire with all the taste I desire it's all good if you let me dive with sharks on the ground you lose your routine you lose your routine 'cause I found my path what the hell are you trying (now I know there is something more) what happened to you (still staying on my path) are you still denying (now i know theres something more) that this is the truth (it's all in you) what do you came for what did you expect to find so boundless I feel and boundless all my fears stop running back to old times stop running back to old times you lose your routine... cause I found my path "Give it up for Miss Catriona Burton!", yelled Perttu, as she dropped a curtsy, the audience cheering wildly. |

Love Kitty's dress. Andrew needs to go fuck himself somewhere. After reading that I know really want some tea. It just sounded good to me right now and Kitty was drinking it. You actually reminded me of something important that I need to do. I need to call my Grandpa's German friends who are going to be visiting New Orleans next week and invite them to this tea I'm playing at. I totally forgot about them until I read your story that mentions tea and German. Thank you for the reminder!!
