META-GAMING ; PART TWO

People I post with; feel free to use this post how ever you want. In game.

For this prompt, tell us something (or somethings!) that you know about your character(s) which they themselves are not aware of. Bits of backstory, their eventual fate, things they are maybe in denial about.... anything and everything!

* ------ * ------ *

Lets just say that the band is not known for their music.

Before Joey killed Victor and reason for the murder is this: people come to the shows not to listen to the music, but to “check out” the vampires. The Winners are a traveling freak show and little more. They were a bar band with a manager, not rockers. Victor tried to tell Joey this, to get it through that wall of delusion he's built up and Joey killed him for it.

I did split this up into two posts because A) I forgot about it the first round and by the time I had remembered a couple hours had gone by. B) I was too focused on Joeys addiction problem. Now that I've gotten around to typing this up a third reason has come to mind. C) Others players are more than welcome to use Joey's delusions of success and the band's freak show street reputation in play.

Those who want to bring his addiction into question should be very careful about their timing and it would be nice if their character was familiar with the symptoms of withdrawal because Joey's gonna do his damnedest to hide that part of himself. Like all addicts he will lie about it. “Oh no, I'm fine, I pulled a muscle at the show” or “No, It's just a hang over, I really need to stop parting so hard.” Unless you catch him in the act of getting his fix, or have experience with druggies, it's gonna be very hard to pin his symptoms down.
