| one year after the world ended. |
[18 Sep 2030|11:09am] |
Who brought them in? Jacques.
Codename: The Owl.
Powerset changes: Ofelia's powers have increased and strengthened drastically in the past year, both from practice, confidence, curiosity and a more intense, personal connection with the dead. She can now bind corpses and spirits with dexterity, has learned a great deal of dark magic, and is able to slip between this world and the next without the same magnitude of side-effect. She is secretly working on finding a way to bind a spirit and a spirit's body at the same time, but is neither sure of the process, consequences or the possibility of it being accomplished. When she does bind spirits and resurrect animals, particularly, from the dead, they are becoming less dependent on her emotional state and more self-sufficient. Good, except for that if she doesn't bind them strongly enough, there is a potential for them getting away from her control -- not great.
The past year: After the world ended, Ofelia tried to get home but Brazil became an absolute wasteland. Civil unrest and disparity between the classes were ignited by the spark of what Axiom could not control. Many thousands of Brazilians died, and the country is now in the midst of a violent civil war. Ofelia's family has perished save for her brother, now a reckless, violent rebel leader who -- though also working for the abolition of Axiom, is not exactly someone she wants to be publicly allied with. Unable to return home, Ofelia traveled in the South -- Florida particularly -- after Jacques disappeared. When he returned, she stayed firmly by his side as they went underground and has played a kind of domestic sidekick role to him ever since. Though she did return to Brazil briefly, it was a traumatic experience she doesn't care to talk about. And though she's still the same old Ofelia, she's also stronger and less psychologically fragile. She's more apt in her powers and spends much of her free time reading and practicing dark magic. While she initially joined the resistance on account of Jacques, she now takes a surprisingly active and even interested role in their goals.

 no kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber, until I realized that it was you who held me under. i felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids, shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs: no more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone.( Read more... )

since some people have been asking why i've been chilling with a bird, especially in class, i thought i'd explain it. i dunno, maybe someone will be able to shed some light. about a week ago, i was walking to class and w/e, i was in a good mood, a really good mood, and as i'm walking, i suddenly see this yellow finch just lying in the snow. and it's breathing really fast, it's little chest is going up and down, and all of the sudden i could just see it in a different way. like everything else blurred and the bird was crystal clear. prismatic and shit. and i bent down over it and when i did, i knew what to do, only i can't remember what that was. it was in my hand and it felt kind of like going down under into the river, only i was up above and only my feet felt damp. there were flowers growing down my nails, out of my wrists, big blossoms -- i know i wasn't hallucinating that part, a) because i hadn't smoked any drugs that morning and b) because i saved some of the petals that fell. and then the bird was alive. i can't feel a heart beat but it's not rotting, there's no stench. it's just alive. and it can't seem to leave me. it followed me home and everytime i'm more than a few feet from it, it comes back.
the other night i thought it was dying, but then it seemed to revive. has anything like this ever happened to anyone else? because i'm totally fucking stumped. also, please stop touching the bird. i can feel it.

FILTERED TO PROFESSOR PARK:uh. not to state the potentially obvious, but all of these "shenanigans" kind of remind me of the readings you gave us at the beginning of the week on love curses.

não compreendo: camulus shows everyone stalking off into one another's rooms after a night of fucking underage drinking shenanigans and that's cool, nbd that the ~proper representatives~ of countries are basically like fuck it, we skanks, but instead they pick up on some bullshit about mason because, what, he's not an alpha? keep it cool, real world. you stay classy. the media bias is nojento. maybe if i dye my hair blonde i won't be such a freak, non?

peço desculpa, mas i am thinking of practicing my necromancia today. if you are attacked by a fleshless corpse, my apologies in advance but i am still learning. i will, claro, need to take a large quantity of hallucinogens and/or opiates but i will do my best to chain the dead properly if you notify me of any escapees. muito obrigado.

well this has really inspired my faith in the system. we're all probably going to die before the year is over because there is a lunatic assassin on the loose. and a kid who turns into fire. for the record, i'm not bringing anyone back as corpses, so you might want to try and not go into the light por favor.
