"'Baby, baby, don't be so shy. ROCK children, hold your heads up high, in the night, while I try and tell the ballad of Valentine.' -The Ballad of Michael Valentine, by The Killers"

The Ballad of Michael-Valentine is the fifteenth episode of Eidolon ROCK and the thirty-second episode of Eidolon Playtest Season 1. It covers

Summary
Chili the Fox is looking into the window of Michael-Valentine's house, watching him discuss something important with Virginia Valentine. She can't hear what they're saying, so heads to the garage to find a way to sneak in. Virginia deals in as the Alchemist, and can turn air into glass.

Inside, Michael-Valentine is telling Virginia that Angels don't have Eidolons, because they're made of the same psychic material. Instead, they have talents that are Eidolon-like. Fifteen years ago, Michael-Valentine's talent was no longer needed and he left for the human world, founding The Dead Pharaoh with Martin Niles. It took him some time, but Michael-Valentine was able to make an Eidolon manifest. Virginia is his Eidolon. He raises his hand, and Virginia raises hers.

Michael-Valentine wants Virginia to get the briefcase of Eidolon drug from Cecilia Citadel's Fortune Teller button. She doesn't have a choice in the matter, he's always been in control. When Lady Luck put a clock in her chest, he stepped in to get her killed again during ROCK #6. As Virginia leaves, there's the sound of rummaging from the garage. Chili has snuck into a trashcan to try and cause a distraction. Michael-Valentine takes a broom to the trashcan, and Chili escapes to catch up with Virginia.
