14 Vampire hooks from Hayley Williams's Flowers For Vases

For Hayley Williams’s birthday, using song titles from Flowers For Vases / descansos as Vampire plot hooks (Masquerade or Requiem) as they skew rather dark, physical or emotional.

First Thing To Go
A vampire finds a reminder of someone long lost, the sound of someone’s voice bringing back memories from years past. What will she do to hear that voice again?

My Limb
Waking at nightfall, a vampire finds one of his legs is stuck in rigor mortis below the knee.

Asystole
A loved one is dying, with unfinished business likely to see them die without rest.

Trigger
A gang war intensifies, and one of the Kindred takes a bullet and has to act like it bothers him a lot more than it really does.

Over Those Hills
The next city half a night’s drive away has fallen silent. Somebody has to go and look.

Good Grief
You can’t go to your last living relative’s funeral, but at least you can drop in briefly at the wake.

Wait On
An elder in torpor shows signs of stirring, and her descendants including one of the coterie have to prepare for her return.

KYRH
(Keep You Right Here)
One of the city’s older vampires takes an interest in a coterie member’s mortal Touchstones. Is this just to mess with the younger Kindred, or worse?

Inordinary
One of the coterie wakes in the morning. They’re alive.

HYD
(How you doing?)
An old friend of a young vampire drops in unexpectedly and wants to catch up.

No Use I Just Do
A vampire falls in love. Everyone advises against it, but it still happens.

Find Me Here
A rival or enemy asks to meet in Elysium to discuss... what, exactly?

Someone is leaving roadside memorials where a specific local vampire feeds.

Just A Lover
Two vampires start to get close. Does it mean as much for both of them...?
