You live for the cheers. You live for the screams. Somewhere along the line, they became the same thing. Frowns are just smiles looked at from below after all.

crowd noise
1: cheer

You glow amidst the cheers. They're your fireblood and the vodka down your throat and when they're quiet, you only think of how to get them loud again. Your dragon-eyes are sharp: you see when they cheer and when they don't and you tweak your show to match until it's entirely transformed and the cheers aren't cheers anymore. They're screams of terrors and though your eyes are still as sharp as they were, your ears are blocked. Cheers and screams sound the same: they're loud noises that stir your blood and make you roar and amidst their screams, you glow.
