Marianne smiled her thanks to Kyle as the young vampire had taken the disc and began the process of transferring the new album over to the iPod. "Thank you Kyle, I admit the new age is still difficult for me." She stammered, it wasn't that it was difficult persay, Marianne simply chose to work her magic through those who often never relied upon technology to create their craft. So simply, she did not need to learn it herself. 

As Kyle continued to load the iPod with her new music, the television program switched to a promotion Marianne was quite familiar with. 

"Miriam, with their new lead single My Dark Heart has taken the charts by storm. They'll be performing a midnight show for everyone all their fans..." The announcer continued to chatter about the location, and the theme of the band before panning to the lead musician, the pale black haired vocalist herself. She smiled a ruby smile to the cameras before she spoke.

"I want to personally invite all of you to enjoy the show, we'll be performing all our favorite songs from the new album. She blushed a little as she announced the surprise for the night, "I want to also want to let you hear for the very first time, Marianne as an acoustic piece." Marianne's ears pricked up at the mention of the song, as an acoustic piece? Her smile mirrored Miriam's on the television as the musician continued. "I was inspired by this story, a dark muse who's been hiding through time and influencing artists. She's alone, and at the same time at the center of all these stories. She's my dark heart, and I want to show her my appreciation with a piece a little...more intimate." Her eyes took on a haze as she seemed lost in her own thoughts, before snapping back. "I want you all to come tonight, let's show the dark muse our appreciation!" There was a roar of applause as the announcer took over for the interview once more. 

Marianne was lost in her own excitement, a tribute to her? She'd often influenced writers, artists, and musicians from the shadows. Tempting them with her stories, creating a world they could draw upon, and maybe, just put a little light to what often remained in the dark. She'd seen portraits of the "dark muse", stories of men and women offering their lives to her, yet something about this, felt important to her. Miriam was one of her favorites, she'd visited the musician more than once, with stories of the dark, her lives, her loves, and left her before the dawn. Always leaving the conversations as a hazy memory, just on the edge of Miriam's conscious mind. She always assumed it was a dream, but the look she gave the last night made Marianne feel that maybe she still remembered her. She had to admit, having someone actually remember her was an unusual situation. She'd prided herself on the fact she'd always remained just out of reach of her subjects. She'd been around for so long, that this was how she remained connected to the real world. Lest she'd become lost in the past, much like other vampires. Who eventually grew despondent, and eventually choosing to end their lives by watching a sunrise. 

"Kyle! We need to go to that show!" Marianne smiled as she felt herself lost in the music blaring over the television. "I think we all could use a little time outside, and that is the perfect event. I think we should get the others, it would do them good to soak up a little of this century." She grinned excitedly as the chance to hear Miriam's song had her somewhat infatuated. It was an odd sensation, but the chance to feel something may have been worth the chance.
