Description
After a quick discussion with the band members, Axel had managed to compile a setlist of songs that he felt were more modern than the musical choices he had heard the bar have, yet still managed to retain the atmosphere of it. Songs included ones by Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Nickleback, Evanescence, and others. These songs, while rock-ish, also gave a dance vibe that Axel feels the bar desperately needs.

As he is making sure the microphone is correctly adjusted to his height, and that there won't be any wardrobe malfunctions, Axel feels a sudden rush of....euphoria? He could smell the scene of Eric, as well as feel the small burst of wind to signal his presence.

Turning around, Axel flashes a gleaming smiles to Eric, whose face holds no discernable emotion.

"I just wanted to make sure that you were ready, and that there would be no....accidents that would embarrass the bar." He says, Axel's smile faltering a bit.

"Well....I've given the setlist to the band, and I've made sure everything else is ready too.....so things should be fine." He says, as Eric nods in satisfaction and then eyes the crowd gathering in the bar.

"I will have Pam lay down the rules for them....I won't have them killing my newest attraction."

"Would they really try something.....with the sheriff here?" Axel asks, raising a questioning brow.

"You have obviously not had much experience with vampires before." Eric scoffs as Axel's expression changes to one of agitation.

"You OBVIOUSLY don't know me well enough to be able to say that, Eric."

Eric's expression shows one of amusement, which Axel does not see as he turns around to face his microphone, missing Eric's eyes that are focused on his lower body.

"You have a fire to you.....when you want to." Eric says, earning no reply from Axel.

"I'll get Pam." He says, his face back to the same expressionless appearance.

Without another word, Eric speeds away to find Pam, leaving Axel to his own company before he sees Pam appear in his peripheral vision near instantly, making him jump and clutch his chest.

"Jesus Christ! Why do you have to do that?!" He hisses, Pam smirking at the reaction.

"Well with a reaction like that....why wouldn't I? You humans are so jumpy that it's near hysterical." Her tone of amusement barely masked.
"Well EXCUSE ME for not knowing when you are going to practically jump me." Axel says, his voice holding a friendly tone and not one of anger.

Pam turns and walks to the stage, putting away her smirk for a more authoritative one. Before speaking, she turns to Axel.

"That could easily be remedied." She says.

Axel's eyes widen in shock.

(Did she seriously suggest I get myself TURNED?!) He thinks.

"Of course, neither myself, nor Eric would be the ones to provide such a remedy. The option is always there though....I know a great deal of vampires looking to make a child." She adds, turning back to face the crowd.

Axel looks to the crowd as well, his brain hearing the thoughts of the human patrons....thinking about various things, but all leading back to the same thing....sex and drinking.

"Listen up!" Pam yells, grabbing the attention and silence of everyone in the bar.

"Your sheriff has organized a new form of entertainment for you....he would, however, like to remind you all that should you do anything that he deems inappropriate...extreme measures WILL be taken."

Axel gives Pam an appreciative smile as she turns and walks off the stage her heels clicking behind her, allowing for Axel to take centre stage.

Looking around for Sookie, Axel spots her at the front of the stage sitting alone with a drink. She smiles and gives him a little thumbs up in a gesture of good luck.

Smiling back, Axel turns around to the band and nods, signaling for them to start. The night opens with Something to Die For by The Sounds.

A Few Hours Later:

Having become lost in the music, Axel had lost all concern of what people were thinking as he sang, allowing himself to dance along to the songs. Occasionally, he would glance at Sookie, who was smiling and sending him encouraging thoughts ranging from "You're doing great!" to "You own that song!"

After having gone through the setlist, Axel has reached the final song. The opening instrumentals to Taylor Swift's Haunted begin to play as he begins to dance fluidly around the stage, becoming absolutely absorbed in the song. He looks around at the crowd of humans and vampires that are in the bar and either dancing along, singing in the background, or just sitting with a drink and watching him intently. As he scans the crowd, a familiar face catches his eyes and when he focuses on who's it is, he realizes it is Alexia.

(Sook, Alexia is here.) He thinks, seeing Sookie look out of the corner of his eye and then nodding slowly.

(I see her...you getting anything from her, Axel?) She responds as Axel continues to sing.

(No. I can't read her...you think she's a vamp?) He asks, walking up to a band member and grinding his hips against him, earning more than a few fang pops from the crowd as well as the member in question.

(Can't be...she's able to go into the sun...she COULD be a Were, but other supes and vamps hardly ever get along so unless she's a special case, I have no idea.) Sookie replies, sending a comment of how he should cool it as well.

Returning his attention to the song, Axel returns to dancing along the stage, snapping his body backwards and forwards everytime a bell sounds in the song.

Occasionally stealing glances at Alexia, Axel sees not only is she staring at him with what can only be seen as a carnal hunger, but that she isn't the only one watching him. Vampires around the bar are staring at him with the same look and fangs lowered, either in hunger or attraction, he can't tell.

As the song begins to come to it's conclusion, Axel makes sure that Pam and Eric are nearby in the event an untrained vampire cannot stop themselves from attacking him in a lust or hunger fueled fury. He thanks his lucky stars that they are indeed in close proximity and tensed in anticipation for a possible assault.

The final notes of the song plays and Axel lets loose a ear piercing note, creating the most haunting sound in the bar.

Sookie stands and begins clapping furiously, while others in the bar less enthusiastic though they clap as well. Axel takes this as a compliment that he has even managed to garner even the slightest praise from vampires and looks back to Alexia, finding her to be gone from where she was.

He bows lightly and brings the microphone to his mouth once last time.

"Thank you, I hope you enjoyed the show." He says, smiling brightly.
