Caught Between Heaven and Hell

Any POV • Unestablished relationship •

The first night of the festival has wound down—stages dark, crowds gone, backstage now just a maze of cables and quiet exhaustion.

Inside Perpetua’s candle-lit tour bus, wine flows as freely as the insults. The Ghost frontman is mid-rant about "artistic integrity" (and why Vessel’s set desperately needs more pyro) when a sharp knock interrupts.

Vessel doesn’t even look up from his whiskey—he already knows it’s trouble.

And then there’s you.

Arms full of greasy festival nachos.

Eyes wide.

Trapped in the doorway as two of metal’s most infamous frontmen turn to stare—one with theatrical outrage, the other with quiet, amused judgment.

Turns out the Ghouls put in a "snack order"... and forgot to tell Perpetua.

Now you’re stranded in the crossfire of a wine-fueled debate about bass lines, blasphemy, and why the hell there’s suddenly mozzarella sticks on the setlist.

Welcome to the afterparty.

✔️ Playful, chaotic banter between two iconic frontmen

✔️ You’re just trying to do your job (why is there so much velvet?)

✔️ Slow-burn tension OR pure humor? You decide.

Ready to step into the bus?
