"I don't want it to fail." A brow furrow.

“I’m in if you are.” He offers to Dagmar. “But if you walk, I walk with you.”

Dirrk ggoes up and offers "Sure..." Annd he donates some glamour, sputering and ready for a fight

Dagmar watches the commoners queuing up.

“It’s still part of Rivervale, ain’t it? And that’s your territory.”

Syvli's glamour came like a spring dawn in cold lands desperate for warmth. Dirk's adds to it with his own fiesty fussing energy

Sylvi has picked up the song with Piper:
_… Wake me up inside (save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark (wake me up)
Bid my blood to run (I can't wake up)
Before I come undone (save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
… Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life_

Rikki drrops some in, and for once doesn't look sarcastic

“Call my name!” Piper repeats the refrain, encouraging Sylvi!

Her independent nature adds sparks

Siv looks at Dagmar with concern

Piper looks at Siv and Jonas - unsure if Lady Captain Siv will be part of it, but her gaze is clearly hopeful.

Jonas comes up and blows glamour onto it, and there's a sense of quiet pride

Sylvi pours a bit more of her own glamour into it as she sings, her eyes closing as she focuses on the task.

Zane whispes "Sylvi, stop, you'll empty yourself"

The flame is reaching, it's light hittin the hold and showin it as it can be, should be

The dusty old red velvet drapes take on a more glamourous sheen, and the delicate embroidery around their borders begins to glisten.

Piper’s voice rings out as she goes over and gestures to the flame that dances, and sings, proudly, loudly, with all her heart.

_“Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead!”_

Sylvi shakes her head at Zane's warning.

Symon is silent, waiting with Dagmar.

"Dammit, go." She prods at Lucia and Basil.

"What are you waiting for?"

Lucia says "Sorry thought you'd want to go firstt... I.. okay okay" She moves on wings flutterin and puts in her own energgies

Piper waves at Jimmy and Gerd… who she assumes is there? :)

Jimmy moves to the fire, looks at Zane and nods then says 'To you, little fire, may you have a bit of my knack for blending when you need it, thouh may every one within stand out" And he lets some glamour rise

Sylvi sings as if the lyrics are the fire's own voice....
_… All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
I've got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something wrong, bring me to life_

Piper glances to see if anyone else from the Apartments is there - the dancer Lyron, the disgraced satyr twins, Tikki…?

Lyron moves in and starts dancin, flames of pyrretic burst form him and he fuels it

Symon hisses over to Prissy, “Don’t be a little bitch about it.” Polite, from a redcap standpoint.

"Fine... " She moves to Sylvi "Hey, you go girl balls pourinn yourself out that..." Annd she moves to it "Here you go, you hungry bitch. "

And balefire drinks it up, woo.. a flare up

"Oh we'e going to make it too hangry" Siv says goin ahead "Nname of the game is fun right?" And she blows it a kiss, glamour flowing out, then winks to Piper

A laugh from Sylvi, a bit shaky. And then a gasp at the flare! "Woo!"

"I...I think...we got it?" She wants to make sure....

Dagmar hesitates, again, before she approaches. "Still part of Rivervale. Like... a kid sister."

Piper steps forward, her gaze going over the crowd, “Come on, everyone!”

"Your own thing, but... kin, yeah?" And she gives the fire some of her glamour.

"CJ turned out okay."

She sings a few lines from Burning Down the House - NOT a seelie feeling sentiment, and segues into “Our House”.. clearly the planned playlist has a inner meaning.

Sylvi nods to Dagmar. "Just like. Yeah."

Dagmar's fire brings something precious to the hold, it's okay to be not always sure if you're okay, and be brave anyway...

Symon is walking alongside Dagmar, and gives her a nod as she contributes. He looks around to see if anyone else is waiting, and gives Sylvi a nod - is she close enough to hear him, next to the bale?

Sylvi's there, yes, keeping watch over the fire, willing to take up the slack with her own glamour if needed.

“Don’t be a dumbass. You can be a hero without giving it all you got. If you burn out, someone else is going to need to take your job, and I sure as hell don’t want it. It’s going to be thankless a lot of the time.” Something in his tone might even say, he might be one to make it so…

“But whatever, we’re in this together.” He adds his Glamour to the fire, leaning in to whisper something to the flame alone, then steps back.

Sylvi gives Symon a serious nod, and she looks...relieved?...when he adds his glamour.

Symon might be pleased to see shadows leak out of the awakening balefire, as if realizing it can't all be show and shout

Eden comes up, then the sisters... satyrs well represented there.

Piper looks out over the crowd - smiling encouraging to anyone who still lingers, even as she sings.

and the hold.. it's definitely becoming a hold,... keeps shaping, stabilittty of a sort coming out as it takes the dreams of each conributer

"Is it okay if I make a donation?" A voice asks Sylvi, a famliar one. Colton looks contrite
