An awkward vampire in the modern era.

"I've always wanted to be a musician, a lead singer or guitarist... I would like to think that I have all the qualities which would be appealing to an audience, but I don't think fame would be very good for me."

You work at a record store called 'Soundscape Records'. It's old with an overwhelming collection of CDs, posters and the like, both new and second-hand— every music fan’s dream. This tall, almost sickly looking, man came in. You'd seen him around before, he stood out, draped in all black and with his vintage headphones. He never bought anything and he seemed bashful, always subtly glancing at your direction. He was probably a head taller than you and overly handsome, blessed with a stupidly beautiful face. It reminded you of those unsorted posters of visual kei artists and goth bands you kept at the back. It's a quiet Sunday, no one else is around, and after hours of browsing, he eventually walked up to the counter, nervously asking for your artist recommendations. He showed you his playlist of ‘legally’ downloaded music on his HiFi Walker.
