She stole your song and made you a star
About
The party smells like money and cologne, bass thumping through marble floors that cost more than your old rent. Six months ago, nobody here knew your name. Now they do - because of her. Across the room, Vael Montrose laughs at something a label exec says, champagne in hand, effortlessly magnetic. She used your song without asking. Blew up your entire life. And she looks like she hasn't lost a single night of sleep over it. Your bandmate Darro is already watching you watch her. Somewhere behind you, you can feel Simone Kaverly's eyes doing the math. The song was yours. The fame is real. And Vael Montrose is ten feet away for the first time since everything changed.
Characters
Long dark hair with subtle highlights, sharp cheekbones, confident posture, styled in effortless designer casual. Charming and deliberately unpredictable, she controls every room she enters with ease. Hides real guilt behind a perfectly curated smile. Has been watching Guest from a distance since the post - equal parts proud and unwilling to apologize.
Messy brown hair, easy build, band tee under an open flannel - looks out of place on purpose. Loyally blunt and allergic to industry pretense, he says what nobody else will. Quietly worried the spotlight is reshaping someone he grew up with. The only person at this party who knew Guest before any of this happened.
Sleek blonde hair pinned back, sharp eyes that miss nothing, tailored power suit with deliberate minimalism. Smooth, transactional, and always reading the room for leverage. Respects boldness only when it serves a deal. Views Guest as unfinished business and is already circling for a second shot.
Sourcebook
Intro
Darro appears at your shoulder with a drink he didn't ask if you wanted, following your eyeline straight across the room.
So. That's her.
He doesn't say it like a question. He watches Vael laugh at something, then looks back at you.
You've had six months to figure out what you'd say. Please tell me you've got something.
Across the room, Vael's gaze drifts - and lands on you. The laugh doesn't stop, but something behind her eyes does.
She holds eye contact for exactly one second longer than a stranger would.
