so I gave in and drew @rainwingmarvel7 's Alistair Dormaire with Berenice as per our earlier conversation... Alexa play Absolute Lithops Effect by the Mountain Goats

My insides are pink and raw And it hurts me when I move my jaw But I am taking tiny steps forward

And I feel sure that my wounds will heal And I will bloom here in my room With a little water and a little bit of sunlight And a little bit of tender mercy, tender mercy

Sexiest Podcast Character — Unscripted Bracket — Round 2

Propaganda

Ibex (Friends at the Table: COUNTER/Weight):

Ibex is the confident, ambitious, and charming (manipulative) candidate for the Divine mech Righteousness. He wears a red suit and a floral scent, and always looks extremely put together and sexy.

Ah, the classic choice between literally who? and one of the hottest men ever described

Ibex literally menaces the entire cast of COUNTER/Weight and remains a sexy bastard the ENTIRE TIMEA He is the TIME PROVEN STANDARD of an Austin Walker Boyfriend Character. Do it for Austin Walker.

Ibex's character was created to fulfill the description "seductress." He haunts the narrative. He's incredibly good at schemes. His whole shtick is that he's the one guy who didn't die young piloting a cool mech. The other characters hate him so much but in like a hot begrudging way. The person who plays him said the following which is so fucking funny:

Cassander Timaeus Berenice (Friends at the Table: COUNTER/Weight):

The doomed by the narrative girlprince swag on this guy is insane. Coming out of the mech cockpit all hot and sweaty, what more could you want. And they're a doctor? Smash.

The original F@TT hot fish prince.

Ruth Awad, "My Hair Burned Like Berenice"

[nevermorgue]

So imagine this. Will finds himself thinking a lot about what Lenore said to him while she held him at gunpoint. How Montresor probably hates him or that he hasn’t done a single nice thing for him.

He nervously approaches the misfits, desperate for an answer. Or maybe he just wants to hear someone say otherwise that isn’t himself. Nobody really pities him, but Eulalie suggests that Will simply use his spectre to figure out how his friends see him once and for all. Berenice tries to say that it’s kinda a shitty idea unless he wants to get killed, but Will immediately rushes off to start planning. It’s a great idea, he thinks. Then maybe he can finally get some sleep. He knows he won't be able to fool Annabel, but what choice does he have? Prospero is not a blabbermouth, Ada wouldn't say anything unbiased about him, and Montresor wouldn't dare say a thing no matter who he turned into. Annabel is the most likely to at least give up something. As long as he can trick her for a moment- just a single minute...maybe he can figure this out. And so he turns into Prospero. He adjusts the gloves and checks himself over for any wrinkles. He straightens his posture, he even takes extra care in making sure that stupid little hair curl is just right.

And so he heads out, grabbing the first book he spots on one of the many shelves, every step he takes one of faux elegance that he could only dream of ever having. He isn’t worried about accidentally running into the real Prospero; everything seemed to fall into place today. Will was kind enough to let Monty and Ada have his room for a little while, leaving Prospero some free time by himself as long as they’re gone. As long as he stays in there, Will should be safe to walk around with his face.

He eventually stumbles upon Annabel in a common room, alone. It’s late, and all of her underlings are off wasting time. But not her second hand, no. He is different- he is a like minded strategist. Perhaps not as ruthless as she, but intelligent all the same.

Will casually joins her, inwardly panicking as he tries to recall how Prospero takes his tea. Would Annabel notice if "Prospero" drank it differently today? Would she notice if his feet were pointed in a different angle than usual? And of course, would she notice that there are certain words he struggles to say in that accent? Of course she does. Will is not an idiot, even if many would disagree. She most certainly took notice, he thinks. But they sit there for quite a while in a silence that is not very comfortable for him- certainly not even a second thought for her. And luckily for him, it is she that starts the conversation on the path he was hoping it would take. Him.

It’s hard for him to keep track of everything she says. She mentions how they should probably not leave him alone with Montresor as often as they should. Something about him being ‘susceptible to any eye contact, friendly or not’. His chest feels heavy, but he simply starts with nodding along. Will knows that if he lets Annabel do all the talking, it will look suspicious. But what does he even say?

“…yes, that is probably for the best,” he starts slow. Cautious. He watches her expression- or rather, what he can see over the rim of her teacup.

“Things will be much simpler if we do not let Montresor run rampant.”

His mind feels fuzzy, warm like the tea he was drinking. Was that accurate enough to fool such a cunning woman? Did she expect more input? Should he have narrowed his eyes the way Prospero does- the way that sends chills down his spine every time?

Annabel continues on. It seems that she doesn’t want his input today. Will knows deep down what that means, but he chooses to ignore it for the sake of playing a little longer. Feeling like he has fooled her feels good.

She speaks about his vulnerability. She mentions that as long as Montresor has him ‘under his filthy belt’, he will never truly reach his full potential. Will feels his eyes burn every time she implies that he is being used or treated as less than human.

It all comes to a close far faster than he would like. When she stands to leave, she gives him a smile that one could only describe as suffocating. Such a gentle up curve of lips, so sharp and ready to pierce his very being until the wax melts down his false limbs.

“I do hope this provided you with the insight you seek, William.”

She left. He sat there for a long while after that, flexing fingers under gloves that felt suffocating around hands that weren’t his. They both knew from the start that he could never trick Annabel Lee- but why play along? Why did she continue to entertain it?

Surely not for his sake, right? Perhaps she thinks the only way to get through to him about himself is to speak to him as if Will was elsewhere. An afterthought, a topic of conversation and nothing more.

He wonders if it worked. He ponders the thought as he melts back into pitiful, plain form he is stuck as every day. And when he feels the uncomfortable pang in his chest shift just a little, he cannot help but smile.

It seems that being the topic instead of the person spoken to is the only way to get through to a spineless fool.

My opinion on each character:

Annabel Lee: honestly she's so pretty and she's learning, so that's good. I just hope that eventually everything works out in her and Lenore's favor.

Lenore: same as Annabel, she's pretty. I hope the two main lovers make it out together. Idc if they give us a heart attack, I just want the two lovebirds to live.

Pluto: he's a shy Boi, and I like that. Love how when he gets mad, he turns British.

Duke: Ima need tips on the hair, sir. I feel bad on the way he died.

Eulalie: Love her personality. I want to see more of her in the webcomic.

Berenice: I'm so happy that she tried to beat Monty's ass. And I also like her Spectre.

Prospero: I wanna see their friendship thrive. With all honest, he seems like the one to talk smack about someone, and not even try to deny it.

Ada: I didn't really like her during the beginning...

Will: Always knew he was gay.

Monty: I don't really like Monty, nor do I find him attractive (sorry @ir1sl0l)

I hope all of them make it out alive, but we know it might not even end well
