“The price of wisdom is innocence. So, I have definitely become wiser but sadly a little less innocent.” -Mahira Khan

Introduction 💡

Chiyuri Seiguni(清国池百合), a.k.a. Algernon/ALiCE on rap battles is a graphic designer and 3rd member of Chiyoda Division’s 狂音INC. A rogue experiment, he is one of the more recent employees in Wonder⇓anD compared to his teammates.

Though he is pretty much the reason why his team is in the DRB to begin with, he is willing to use this opportunity to prove himself to a certain woman he once called his “mama.”

Appearance

Chiyuri is a pale man of average height in his early 20s. He has long, curly black hair fading to periwinkle and bright blue streaks tied to a ponytail. His eyes are of a bright blue color and they glow in the dark.

At work, he is usually seen in a suit composed of a white button up with a red ribbon as a tie, a blue vest, a black suit jacket (seems to be 3 sizes bigger than him), blue cropped pants, black socks, and black loafers. The rising graph on his vest is merely an addition to the outfit he chose to go with in the DRB as it’s not there on his usual work clothes.

Outside work, he is usually seen in Jirai Kei and Menhera fashion, his outfit is typically a frilly white blouse with several black bows, he wears loose black suspended shorts with frilly heart-shaped pockets and silver heart-shaped chains, fishnet stockings held up by garters and black Mary Jane platforms. His hair is straightened and tied into twin tails held by black bows instead of the usual singular pony.

Hypnosis Microphone

Chiyuri’s Hypnosis Mic takes the form of a wooden puppet, the puppet is made of oak wood, it has dot eyes painted on, a mop of blue hair, it wears a white shirt, blue suspender shorts and wine red doll shoes, lastly, it wears a beret on its head which acts as the mic’s windscreen. The puppet has strings tied to all of Chiyuri’s fingers.

Chiyuri’s speakers take the form of a woman halfway coming out from a mirror significantly larger than Chiyuri himself. She is a faceless, translucent white figure with long wavy hair appearing to wear a typical scientist outfit, coming out of the mirror are a dozen star-shaped speakers with the same material as the woman. Whenever Chiyuri activates his mic, it starts off as an empty mirror only for the aforementioned things come out of it. The woman always looks like she’s trying to grab onto him.

Chiyuri’s rap ability, Strings of the Puppet —[REDACTED] “Fuck around and find out :D” —Fusao

Chiyuri’s rap themes revolve around feeling lost like a stray creature aimlessly wandering around the strange world it lives in, another thing he raps about is being curious about the world around him past his “cage”. He often compares himself to Pinocchio and constantly mentions about a “blue fairy” who loaded life into him.

Personality

At work, Chiyuri is a very polite person and follows rules down to the word, he is hard working and doesn’t have trouble with extra workload from time to time.

Outside of work however, it turns out that he’s quite naive, he still has a lot to learn about the world around him; if he gets curious of something, he’ll run to it without thinking of anything else. He has a dangerously low sense of danger and usually gets taken advantage of for that and this brings heavy concern for his teammates. Despite being taken advantage of on several occasions, he never ceases to be kind to the people around him.

Really, all he wants is to be useful to the people around him and he tends to push himself pst his limits for that.

Background

<???>

Trivia

His birthday is also Thomas Edison’s birthday, the infamous inventor and entrepreneur known for the lightbulb

The woman on his speakers is based on the likeness of his “mother”

His mic is more or less modelled after Mokku from Kashi no Ki Mokku, an animated series adaptation of Pinocchio

He often uses kaomojis in texting

Asides from Japanese and English, he is also fluent in Italian and Latin; he could learn another language in the span of 3 months if he wants to

He was offered the job while Fusao was away by a different employee

He has super sharp memory which Chuuoku’s scientists have tried and failed to get rid of

His brain thinks he needs lollipops to survive, not in the same way as kids wanting sweets, but like his life depends on it

He has blocked Kokoro Kuju online on every platform and has no plans to unblock him.

LOST reading list

a list of books read by characters in lost for you to enjoy (or not). this isn't every book referenced in lost. for all that and more, see the "literary works" page on lostpedia, where im getting my info

no, my criteria for this list is that it's been read by a lost character. i'll tell you who (you'll see sawyers name a lot), and i'll add if it's somebody's fave book. this list will not include things like the bible or the qur'an or historical texts, as that while that can technically be recreational reading (it seems to be for ben), i'd rather not

A Brief History of Time by Stephan Hawking (read by Ben)

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (read by Ben)

Every work by Charles Dickens other than Our Mutual Friend (read by Desmond. This is his favourite author)

I encourage you to speculate on the character implications put forth by these reading choices. This can raise such questions as: Jack is a Harry Potter fan? What is Desmond's favourite book by Charles Dickens? Boone can read??

Thank you for your time

A LIST OF HISTORICAL FIGURE RPF I WANT IN TMAGP.

(This is post is also written from the point of wanting these figures and their stories in the Magnus Archives universe. Trying to keep in line with the historical contexts and figures in TMA, so most are British, except one because it's crazy to me.)

Jeremy Bentham

This whole post is inspired by how absolutely crazy it is that Jeremy Bentham is not in the original TMA series. YES, I get it was to allow Robert Smirke's architecture be front and center to the TMA plot, but I still think it is criminal. He is briefly mentioned in MAG 41 because of reasons I will explain, but briefly mentioned is not enough.

Quick rundown of this dude for those unaware: Bentham was the English philosopher to come up with the idea of the panopticon prison, and Millbank prison was originally proposed and designed by him in 1799.

I feel like there are quite a few facts about Bentham that could make killer plot points in the TMA universe: one is obviously his creation of the panopticon as a way of "humane reform" for prisoners and subsequent criticisms. And....Also he had himself publicly dissected and his skeleton was put on display as an "auto-icon" TO THIS VERY DAY. It's in the student center at University College London. It's a wax figure now with his skeleton inside. It haunts me. Alice and Sam should visit him.

Robert Knox

The Burke and Hare Murders took place in 1828 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Within the span of ten months, sixteen killings were committed, before William Hare agreed to give up details in exchange for prosecution immunity. His partner, Burke, was executed (His skeleton still remains at the Anatomical Museum at Edinburgh to this very day.)

What sets this case apart is Burke and Hare's claim it was done for "scientific purposes." All of the corpses were sold to anatomist Robert Knox, who used them for both dissection for his own study and at his anatomy lectures. While he claimed he had no idea that Burke and Hare were murders, reasonable doubt can be cast on that claim. This very-public case contributed to the Anatomy Act of 1832, which further regulated to study of human dissection to prevent events like this and "resurrectionists" digging up corpses.

In a TMA statement format, I would absolutely love a letter from Robert Knox, after his reputation has been trashed from being involved in this very public murder case, detailing his denial of ever knowing these cadavers were murdered. Of course, it's obvious he's lying, as there is some supernatural happenings surrounding his studies that just get worse the more he works with these two men. (Either Slaughter/Flesh for sure.)

Sir John Franklin

Ok, so, TECHNICALLY Sir John Franklin & The Crews of the HMS Terror and Erebus are in TMA already. In MAG 98, that Algernon dude outbids Maxwell Rayner for an artifact from, you guessed it, the HMS Terror. I think this could be a wonderfully great tie in that could connect the TMAGP universe to the TMA universe if another artifact from it is found.

I just want more of it because the disappearance of the HMS Terror and Erebus are just TMA statements waiting to happen. The HMS Terror and Erebus were two Royal Navy ships, under the command of Sir John Franklin, who ventured into the Arctic in 1845, in order to find the Northwest Passage and gather magnetic data. They disappeared, and during rescue expeditions it was discovered both ships had been abandoned as the crews attempted to trek overland to Fort Resolution 970 km southwest.

There are so many different ways you could take this story in the contexts of the TMA universe: there is evidence cannibalism occured, so obviously Flesh there. The Dark could be invoked, as both a connection to MAG 98 and the fact that the Arctic's sunless winters swallowed them. The Corruption could be used as well because there is evidence the canned rations were tainted with lead and botulism. Finally, the Vast because of the endless nothingness of the landscape they found themselves in. Admittedly, I am a big AMC's The Terror fan, and I think TMA like that show, would be a great place to represent this story's themes of the hubris of man and the British Empire.

Florence Nightingale + Mary Seacole

Both Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole were British nurses who were pioneers in sanitary medical conditions during the Crimean War. I think less background is needed with these two, but I'd like to see an anti-Corruption artifact come from one of them, like in MAG 45 the syringe that once belonged to John Snow (19th century medical pioneer who deduced that dirty water was linked to cholera). Lowkey would also love a statement set in Scutari Hospital during the Crimean War, Florence Nightingale or Mary Seacole fight the Corruption?? Please, for the love of god.

John Lambe

Congrats...you made it to the start of the more obscure section. Get ready, because this is. A case.

"Doctor" Lambe was an astrologer and a quack physician (in his time period's context, 1545-1628, that means a person who had no formal medical training, not necessarily a charlatan, although Lambe most definitely was.) He was the personal advisor to George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, who, I don't know why he kept him around because this guy claimed he could read fortunes and find things in his crystal ball. Literally, everyone thought this guy was the Duke's personal sorcerer, which was not great for the nation, because the Duke was close to King Charles I, which if you don't remember from history class was the king who got executed and Oliver Cromwell ran England as a republic for a little bit. Regarding Lambe, a plaque even got put up in London referring to him, saying, "Who rules the kingdom? The King. Who rules the King? The Duke. Who rules the Duke? The Devil."

So what I'm saying here is that this guy is a ye olde Web avatar, which could be discovered in some government files by Alice and Sam regarding the Civil War.

Margaret Cavendish

Okay, I feel like in an alternate universe (*cough* TMAGP *cough*) she could have been the most formidable foe to Jonah Magnus. She was a 17th century (before Jonah's time but with avatars it doesnt matter) philospher, poet, scientist, and fiction writer, and the first woman to attend a meeting of the Royal Society of London (an upper class academic society which we know Barnabas Bennett was involved with in MAG 92).

Academic contemporaries os her day called her mad for her unusual and bold manners and interests that bordered on "masculine." Despite being bold af, the reason I think her and Magnus would square up is her work on natural philosophy. She claimed the use of artificial instruments that are used to study the world "delude" academics, specifically the experimental philosophers in the Royal Society. For example, when Robert Hooke created the diagram of the flea, she said using magnifiying glasses to enlarge the flea's image have no practical purpose because it doesn't help anyone afflicted by them.

Therefore, her philosophical writings are literally the antithesis of The Eye's voyeuristic knowledge-seeking. I'm not entirely sure what entity she'd be an avatar of (though her book The Blazing World gives major Spiral vibes), I just want Jonah to have to square up with an enemy in the Royal Society and have a conniption over it.

Gaspare Tagliacozzi

Last guy. He is not British, but I swear....As The Flesh's certified number one fan, I just need this statement/story in the TMA universe.

Operating in Bologna in the 16th century, Tagliacozzi was one of the pioneers of plastic/reconstructive surgery. Due to the dueling culture amongst upper-class men who felt they needed to protect their honor if insulted, there were many rich men during his time who had lost their noses. This was seem as a great social stigma, the nose was seen as the most important part of the face, and more importantly, it showed you lost that duel. So these rich men had the time and money to hire Tagliacozzi...(He also did surgery on other groups as well, but all of his literature he wrote was tailored to this group.)

Tagliacozzi was inspired by natural botany for the idea of his reconstructive nose surgery; he studied how plants and trees grew over time and applied the same logic to human skin. What he would do was this: He would attach a mold in the shape of a nose to his patient's face, he would attach this to a graft of skin on the arm, and over the course of three weeks, the living skin would grow over the nose mold.

I don't think I have to explain this one. It's my duty as the Flesh's number one fan to give the people good material to work with. (Also could be Stranger.)

My Magnus archives sells pitch (check the comments it has a much more coherent summary)

Why hello there my fellow bsd fans, listen to me as I tell you about the wonders of the Magnus archives while trying my best not to spoiler all of you. Do you want to have even more emotional damage, which I am sure you have plenty of after the latest chapter? Well come along for the ride as Alex and Jonny cheerfully remind us that this podcast is a tragedy. The Magnus archives is in fact a podcast, an amazingly crafted horror Podcast at that. The Magnus Archives is at first a anthology podcast, with our protagonist Jonathan Sims working at the Magnus Institute, a place dedicated to researching and archiving paranormal events as what they call statemants. Jonathan Sims or Jon as people often call him, is the new head archivist of the Magnus Institute, after the old one Gertrude Robinson died on the job. Jon is left to sort his way though an absolute mess of an archive, Jon however is not alone in this task as his assistants, Timothy Stoker and Sasha James, are there to help him, and Martin too i guess but he is barely any help. That is until an actual threat appears. Of course there are more characters then just our archival crew. The head of the Institute Elias bouchard is your classic asshole manager (even tho he isn't a manager), he really couldn't give a shit if his employees are in danger, but fine sasha i guess i will install more CO2 fire extinguishers and a CO2 fire system. Melanie King, the proprietor of the YouTube channel Ghost Hunt UK, anger issues if you want to know more you're gonna have to listen to the podcast. Basira Hussain and Alice ”Daisy” Tonner are both police officers, again if you want to know more listen to the podcast. Georgie Barker the host of the podcast What The Ghost, again listen to the podcast. If you want to be able to say, if I had a nickel every time I have been in a fandom where one of the villain characters have been a slavic clown with nikola in their name i would have two nickels which isn't a lot but it is weird that it happened twice, congrats you can now do that. Some of the tma characters are also named after horror writers. Tim stoker after Bram Stoker, Martin Blackwood after Algernon Blackwood, Elias Bouchard after J.W Bouchard, Melanie King after Stephan King, Eric Delano after Jamie Delano, Georgie Barker after Clive Barker, Sarah Carpenter after John Carpenter, Michael Shelley after Mary Shelley, and the Institute's American sister location the Usher Foundation is name after the short story The Fall of the house of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe. I am sure if you go looking you can find even more connections. So come along if you will, The Magnus Archives can be found on YouTube, Spotify, and anywhere you get your podcasts. Now i am just gonna tag as many characters as i can to send out the message and recommendation I am sorry about that. If you want a better coherent summary then go check the comments.

Ok weirdest AU idea ever but here me out, Flowers For Algernon/ South Park. HERE ME OUT!!!

Kyle is Charlie, duh hoy. He's never mentally handicapped in this version though, he's just average IQ and wants to be a huge nerd.

And Stan is Alice because I say so. And he's not Kyle's teacher because that's creepy. I don't care what anyone says. IT'S WEIRD. (Love Alice though, girl boss) but more like just a guy whose out of his league, like a higher economic status or social standing or something i dunno. Stan is a chad and Kyle is a loser. Like that one meme with the nerd and then hes rich. Am I having a stroke? And, yes, I did take that from plot line from Siddhartha, sue me bro, I'm a Herman Hesse glazier for life.

And Cartman is Faye for a few reason, one the whole getting tighter when Charlie-Kyle is at the lowest (in my opinion) mental state in the whole ass novel. And also Faye's sicking independence and obsession with freedom, no matter how destructive and/or impulsive. The only change would probably be the fact the Cartman-Faye would stay even after Kyle starts to lose his mind unlike OG Faye who leaves cause she's scared.

As for Algernon himself, he's Mr.Hankey because I wrote this all down in my notes app at 2 AM.
