All was going well with the show that night, the crowds were loving every heated moment of it. Manson was near the edge of the stage, bent down onto one knee and holding himself and his mic stand close to the ground as he screamed into it, the lucky fans closest to the stage were screaming and reaching out to their idol, as though somehow doing so might bring the man into their arms. The raven haired rocker was on his last song for the show that night, mOBSCENE. .
"Get your arms around me, Now we're going down, down, do-shit!" Manson's voice abruptly halted, so close to the end of the song and the end of the show, yet now things went wrong, he had only barely dodged out of the way as a stage techie screwed up, and one of the huge spot lights came crashing down, slamming into the stage at the very spot where Manson had been at not moments ago.
Manson stood up, almost as though the shards of glass embedded into his skin and little to no effect on him what so ever, though that was only half from the smashed light, and half from the wine bottle he had purposely cut himself with on stage.
"GOD DAMNED STUPID FUCKING IDIOT!!! TELL THAT LITTLE DIP SHIT HE'S FIRED! I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!!!!" Manson screamed at his stage manager as he exited the stage, the man nodded hastily and ran off in the other direction, anything to be away from Manson when he was so obviously in a bad mood, and for good reason too.
The raven haired shock rocker's pale skin was covered in blood and sweat from his neck all the way down to his knee high boots. The blood didn't show on black thong, corset, or gloves that extended to his elbows, but was undeniably there. He stalked into the shower room and stripped down out of what little clothing he wore without any modesty to speak of as one of his lackies turned on the water and Manson stepped underneath the spray of hot water.
"Just get the fuck out of here!" Manson demanded sharply, causing the lackie to practically jump right out of his skin. As if his word were law, everyone in sight scrambled away, leaving him to shower in peace, which he did for a while before retrieving a pair of tweezers and carefully removing as many broken shards of glass from his skin as he could. Once done with that he stepped out of the shower and quickly dried off before going out into his dressing room and sitting down on the couch to apply medicine onto his cuts then standing up and going threw his duffle bag to pull out his spare set of clothes, black leather pants, tight black sleeveless silk shirt and got dressed, along with the black knee high boots that he had been wearing before and plopping down with an annoyed sigh.

Meanwhile, an unknown figure was roaming around aimless, the short blonde haired boy didn't really know where he was going, but he tired to look as though he actually fit in. That wasn't an easy task considering that he was on the verge of going into fits of hyperventilation from his current state of excitement. Big baby blue eyes scanned over the backstage area that he had so sneakily found his way into, he had even gone threw the trouble of getting a fake backstage pass, and it wasn't a cheap one either, so he didn't get hassled at all by security, more than likely it was amused that he was a sound tech, or some other nerdy backstage job sense he didn't look the part of the average Marilyn Manson fan.
In actuality, Jamie Slyver wasn't having his pay checks signed by Marilyn Manson at all, he was a journalist, well... a new found journalist trying to make his way, and prove that he could be a valued writer. He was fresh out of collage, and it was quite rare for an editor to take a chance on a rookie with such an important story, but Jamie had done so well in school, that his talent couldn't be denied, and so.. the music zine that Jamie now worked for took a chance on him. This was Jamie's big break, he knew that he might never get another opportunity like this again if he were to screw up.
I can't believe that I'm actually here.. backstage.. at a Marilyn Manson concert! Jamie wasn't quite sure how he was even breathing, he'd never dreamed that he'd be able to come so close to his rock idol, well.. actually, he had dreamed about meeting Manson quite often, and not all of those dreams were..well, innocent, to say the very least, but Jamie knew that those were only dreams.. and this was actually real. He knew that because he'd pinched himself earlier to make sure, and sure enough, he was really here, and it had hurt.
Jamie's current dressing was quite simple, nothing that would really draw to much attention to himself. Not only was it bad for him to get to much attention because it would more than likely get him kicked out, but also because he was really shy, especially about his body. He wore baggy clothing, his khaki pants hung off of his slender hips, which really only made him look thinner than he actually was, alone with the over sized plain navy blue t-shirt that he wore. He looked more like a roadie than a groupie, which he really was neither, though he'd had quite a few good fantasies about being a groupie. Inside one of the pockets of his pants was a small note pad and a small camera. He didn't really need to take pictures for his article, that was more or less for personal use, he was after all still a loyal fan, perhaps even a fan before a writer, and he couldn't help himself but to take a few keepsake photos.
