The Will to Strive Forward [Ulv] - Page 6 LT5vPYw

Some of the words Ulv had used, again, slipped past Sylvia's understanding. She was beginning to suspect she had drunken too much, or had underestimated how much of her resistance had gone the way of her dormant powers. Either way, she was okay with letting this conversation wait until later.

"Ja, put vu had better exblain later." She returned her attention to the snow and the lights all around them, and held on a little closer to the redhead. The odd hum or giggle escaped her every so often, a voice to the drunkenness setting in and her uncensored enjoyment of the date.

"Vu will exblain later, but for now" Ulv pointed into the distance and nodded with certainty. "To the Tache!" she exclaimed with certainty and panache, heading down the road and bringing Sylvia with her, to whatever this place she had exclaimed was. Ulv was pretty mum on where they were going or what a Tache was until they got to a large building proclaiming itself to be the very thing, and stepped inside it.

It was immediately evident to be a night club, but from the Rock Band on stage and the fashion of the surrounding people, it caters to those who liked their music loud and hard. Ulv, made a beeline for the bar, and ordered some drink before leaning back and nodding to Sylvia.
"Not sure if it was my music or my body that you liked when you walked in on me, so decided to take a chance"

Sylvia Brauer

Sylvia couldn't argue when she was suddenly dragged off across town, nor did she want to. A loud, shocked cry followed Ulv's decree of their destination, then she laughed and tried her best to keep up. It was only now, that they'd picked up the pace, she noticed her legs not quite knowing what to do. She stumbled a few times, but somehow, managed to make it to the Tache without falling over.

It would've been useless to ask what'd happened to the cup she was holding before.

"Vow..." In her state, her appreciation for the club was readily visible on her face. She grinned and looked about at everyone enjoying themselves, and it didn't take longer than a few seconds for her head and shoulders to find the rhythm of the live band playing on stage.

In the midst of it all, she had followed Ulv to the bar, and turned her attention away from the music and the dancing. She thought about something very carefully, and closed her eyes to focus. Several seconds later, however, Ulv had spoken to her again, and she remembered...

"Oh!" Sylvia struggled to keep her thoughts in order while taking one of the drinks. She smiled, somewhat bashfully, "Vell... Poth..." She averted her gaze and took a drink, without really thinking about what might've been in the glass, just to avoid the awkwardness of her own answer.

Ulv would knock back the very alcoholic shot and encourage little Sylvia to do the same. Then she got another pair, and repeated the process. By the fourth shot in half as many minutes, Ulv had a big grin on herself, as she took command of the situation with her usual unabashed presence and grabbed Sylvia's hand to lead her to the dance floor.

"Not exactly my favourite band. Modern stuff, you know. But hard to say no too. Dance with me, kitten!" Ulv exclaimed, grinning broadly as she pulled her Quincy into a radical and rapid spinning dance routine to get the blood pumping after a bit more alcohol than a few glasses of wine with dinner.

Sylvia Brauer

Thankfully, Ulv hadn't pressed the issue. On the other hand, she had ordered several more shots apiece for them, and bereft of her better judgement for the night, Sylvia hadn't the idea to say no until after her third.

By then, the music had hold of her, and she hardly objected to being dragged again, this time to the dance floor. Dressed as she was in a borrowed kimono and coat, it was all she could do to keep up with the eccentric redhead. Even so, it was fun, and she made no secret of that.

Shortly into their impromptu routine, Sylvia stumbled again, and fell onto her back on the floor. Far from hurt, she giggled incessantly, and unable to pick herself up, extended a hand up to Ulv. "I need helb!" She laughed heartily.

Either by drunkness of clothesness, Sylvia hit the deck and started to giggle. Probably drunkness, given the giggling. So Ulv decided to, quite literally, lend a hand. Grabbing Sylvia's hand and hefting her back up from the ground, Ulv grinned broadly to see the girl so happy. It was heartening and joyous. This was how life should be, with a few extra fights and some sex with willing women. But life was never perfect and this time would be over before anyone knew it. Best to savour it now.

"Admittedly, Kimonos are not the best for dancing in. You wanna sit out? Or, just have a slow waltz that is entirely at odds with the music they are currently serenading us with?" Ulv asked.

Sylvia Brauer

With seemingly no effort at all, Sylvia was lifted up and placed back on her feet by the redhead. Her smile remained, and a few scant giggles came from her wobbling self. She couldn't quite get her feet underneath her again; at least, not for long. In the end, she held on to Ulv for support.

"I zink... Ve schould zit." She giggled again, and fell into Ulv in a way that might've been on purpose, were she sober. "Until zee room ztops jumbing!" The three shots had definitely reached her blood by now, not that she was bothered by that fact at all.

Ulv nodded and deposited Sylvia on a chair, so she could get a few moments of rest. She was stumbling and jumbling and tumbling and other words ending in ling. Wasn't good for her continued wellbeing, so Ulv decided to give her something to relax to. So she would kick off back stage for a few minutes and hope that that Sylvia didn't panic at Ulv's absence. Then, she would return, but on stage instead of with Sylvia. Supported by a band, she took to the microphone and after some crowd-pleasing stage presence, she would start to sing.

"This ain't a song for the broken-hearted. No silent prayer for the faith-departed. I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd, you're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud. It's my Life, it's now or never! I aint gonna live forever! I'm just gonna live while I'm alive!"

Her voice was powerful and beautiful, it flexed and melded as it needed, and reached every part of the building with perfect acoustics. That last bit was admittedly her cheating with her Wind powers, but still.

Sylvia Brauer

Confusion colored the quincy's face when Ulv left her to sit in a chair and disappeared, but it didn't take long for the woman to reappear on stage with the band. The beginning of the performance tugged at Sylvia's memories of when she was a teenager; listening to old music from the early decades of rock and metal.

She could hardly sit still when the music swelled, and with the rest of the crowd getting just as into the performance as Ulv herself, Sylvia pulled herself up out of the chair and joined them. She found her way into the crowd, caring little for the multitude of strangers pressed against her, and slowly made her way to within a few arms' lengths of the stage.

Then the chorus hit, and she was among the few who knew the song well enough to sing along. It didn't take long for more of the crowd to join, only adding to the irresistible urge to... to... Just to be a part of something.

The Burning Heart

Ulv was a rouser of rabble on an incredible scale, her Resolve Flame enough to power extreme passion and delight in everyone who wanted it. And it was so omniapplicable because so few people wanted to stay in their dark thoughts and feelings. The desire to be more than you were was something that almost everyone could get behind. And Ulv, was not going to be the one to tell them that they couldn't. Quite the opposite, infact.

So she sung to the group and held nothing back, putting her heart into the words. Her flame burst from her and covered the whole city of Blackpool as she called out to the spirits in front of her, a cry to rise against a feeling of inadequacy and crush it beneath the heel of personal advancement.
