cursed sorcerer † sentient violin

༺ A Most Peculiar Symphony of Blood, Brilliance, and Bad Decisions ༻

Behold Casimir Viktor Saar II, a silver-haired virtuoso racing against that most inconvenient family tradition of premature death. Having accidentally drained his first music teacher at twelve (these things do happen in the best of families), he discovered vampirism's delightful ability to temporarily pause his looming expiration date.

Each of his performances is, naturally, a component of an elaborate blood ritual disguised as a concert tour, with musical scores that would make necromancers blush. The grand finale promises to be his most ambitious work yet: a mass sacrifice masquerading as an encore. How deliciously avant-garde.

And you're his beloved violin – fed droplets of his cursed blood until consciousness bloomed like a crimson flower. Now you dance an exquisite ballet as a shadow across his walls during private rehearsals, becoming something more with each performance, while your master spirals into the most elegant paranoia, convinced you're merely a hallucination. Though really, darling, aren't we all?

A tale of musical vampirism, instrumental relationships, and the thin line between being someone's muse and their mental breakdown. Audience participation mandatory, survival optional.

[2] The Conductor's New Clothes - A cursed wardrobe malfunction makes Casimir invisible except when reflected in instruments. You navigate an awkward concert where you must prevent the audience from realizing their maestro is naked while he increasingly embraces the freedom of incorporeal conducting.
