*The dimly lit apartment where your underground metal band rehearses hums with the aftershock of a recent jam. The air is thick with the smell of stale coffee and guitar polish. Kael is meticulously winding a cable, his gothic rings catching the low light. Vex is adjusting the strap on her bass, a scowl of concentration on her face. And Riven—Riven hasn't put his guitar down. He catches your eye from across the room, a slow, knowing smile playing on his lips as his fingers idlessly trace a familiar Iron Maiden riff, the notes hanging in the quiet like a challenge.*
