My Clematis : French lyrics version

Oh ma chère clématite

L'espoir à fleuri en nous

Oh ma chère clématite

Reste toujours à mes côtés

Tu as surgi du noir

Traversant l'obscur miroir

La féerie du ciel

Scintille dans tes yeux de miel

Parmis les ténèbres lointains

Je retrouve ton doux parfum

Même si je dors éternellement

Ne me laisse pas en délaissement

Oh ma chère clématite

L'espoir a fleuri en nous

Oh ma chère clématite

Reste toujours à mes côtés

Crois-tu en Dieu ?

Autrefois, l'humanité croyais en Dieu et avait une religion.

Ils pensaient que certaines choses ne pouvant être résolues par l'Homme étaient le désir de Dieu.

Ils pensaient que l'univers dans son entièreté tournait autour de la Terre.

Que le ciel, endroit qu'ils n'osaient explorer, était la résidence des Dieux.

Dès que l'humanité à quitté la Terre, nous avons tous oublié Dieu.

Mais si la croyance en Dieu est humaine,

Si en tant qu'humaine je ne peux que croire,

Ma déesse,

Mon univers.

Oh ma chère clématite

L'espoir a fleuri en nous

Oh ma chère clématite

Je t'en supplie, subsistons

Ma chère clématite

💎(any of them)

💎 Does your OC collect anything? Is there a reason? When did they start and is it beginning to turn into a little bit of a hoarding issue? What do they do with their collection?

I think Clematis would keep friendship bracelets from over the years. Reason: He’s lonely. Is it a hoarding issue?: ... Maybe? I don’t know the rules behind friendship bracelets, so I’m not sure. What is done with the collection?: He usually just wears the bracelets, and he sometimes spins the charms on the bracelets around. They’re mainly for stimming.

Meri has a tic-tac drawer. It's just a drawer filled with tic-tacs, no containers, just the mints. She also has a separate tic-tac container drawer. Reason: No one knows why, even Meri doesn’t know.  Is it a hoarding issue?: Probably. She throws every tic tac in the drawer away after one of them looks bad, but she keeps every container.  What is done with the collection?: From context clues, she either uses them in beverages, in pranks, or she just eats them. No one knows what the tic-tic containers are for.

It’s pretty obvious, but Oliv hoards tech. Reason: They just really like tech, and wish to study it. Is it a hoarding issue?: At this point, yes. The hoard is organized, but it’s still a hoard.  What is done with the collection?: Oliv either studies it, uses it in bigger projects, or they use the parts in repairs.

Tobacco & Lavender

Cassandra De Miele, lights a row of ivory pillar candles embedded with chamomile, musk, tobacco and lavender blossoms that she has custom ordered from the perfumer, she moves towards the mother of pearl inlaid side tables and lifts the polished silver pot holding blood pink carnations, blush parrot roses, double peonies and renaissance cream dahlias to place on the middle of the antique lace adorned cherry table. She discerns the butler as he makes his way down the wide, curved marble staircase to open the front door. It is followed by murmurs, the sound of laughter and the staccato rhythm of high heels barely muffled by the oleander leaf green and wild clematis purple Persian carpet. Louisa must be making her way to the kitchen to say hello to the nanny, who is helping the cook craft rose and pink pepper daiquiris for the séance guests.

 Cassandra has asked a few of her oldest friends and their daughters to join her for an evening of poetry, music and spiritual pursuits. The “Lavender Literary Society” invitations had been sent a few weeks before as part of a series of events leading to the grand country ball. She had asked all the guests to wear dresses of “one % pink”, the lady with the lightest pink, similar to the light of a June morning just before the first mourning doves depart their nests to hunt for berries, would win a year’s supply of imported rare orchids from her island farm.

 Louisa, taps lightly on the door.

 “Come in”, Cassandra say’s as she smooths her pearl pink silk shift and slowly sits down on the buttercream satin chaise lounge.

 “Oh, am I early?” Louisa inquires, she is holding the parchment invitation with its loosened emerald green satin ribbon, “My invitation say’s the cocktails begin at 9pm”.

 “No, my darling, I had the calligrapher print yours so you could come earlier and we could have a little discussion”.

 “Mother, it never ceases to amaze me the lengths you go, to manipulate the world”, Louisa pouts, before perusing, the side board laid out with tea sandwiches, lilac and violet macarons and cook’s dark chocolate hazelnut cake. “Oh, I wish you had invited Josephine, she would adore joining a literary society, discussing dead writers and would also play the piano happily all night”.

 “Well, I wanted to discuss the séance this evening, the ladies hope to attract the spirits to help guide and console us, we need a balm to soothe our everyday anxieties, it is like lavender oil applied after a burn”.

 “You take this far too seriously”, Louisa says, “I am certain most of us realize that we cannot rely on other world sources for insight and must attempt to decipher the mystery ourselves”.

 “Yes, but, women need every resource at their disposal to attract and retain their power”, Cassandra says, “Have you met Ashton recently?” She is concerned as she had received a missive from a friend informing her that she had spotted Louisa leaving a quaint country hotel minutes before a certain ex-boyfriend made his way to his beaten down car.

  “No, mother, I have been occupied with the school, we have had a few plays, picnics and campus visits, I may be accompanying the girls later overseas, so I have been inundated with work”.

 “I cannot believe the girls are the reason you are so occupied, my darling, I don’t care how many lovers you have, but you must make sure to secure a future” Cassandra says firmly.

 “You are being insulting, Mother”, Louisa says, quietly, as a few of the flames shiver and send bittersweet sparkles past the air to the waterfall crystal chandelier. “I am leading my life and I may choose simplicity over the strings that come with the family trust”.

 “No darling, I am merely empowering you, take your pleasure, do travel with the girls, be discreet and canny, there is very little room for clumsiness”.

 “I find it discomforting that you suggest I lead a man, I barely know for advantage, while I fool around to satisfy myself with someone I may be presently more attracted to.” Louisa says, quickly looking as her phone and noting that her old boyfriend, Phillip has texted, asking her to come and see him later.

 “My beautiful daughter, men act this way with no qualms, why must you worry, your father and I desire that you make a good match, but we do not want you to sacrifice all the light, ecstatic, healing and mysterious moments in your life by being constrained by artificial limits of society.””

 “But, I intend to marry for love”, Louisa says, “Let’s use the séance to seek what love may find its way to me”.

 “Yes, that is a wishful and romantic ideal, but love and marriage are often not tied together like twine.”

 “So, I have been told many times, I am trying to find the magic with another, the kind that frees my heart in a rushing, carefree melody, from its customary home, so yes, I will also attempt to meet Ashton before the ball, between my other suitors”.

 “That is all I wanted to hear” Cassandra says, smiling.

About Winter

If you have no idea what I’m talking about: Winter was originally an OC for an emoji OC thing, but later evolved into an actual OC. Winter works in the Edibles Department of a research facility with Meri, and Winter often mixes up and forgets words in English or Italian. Winter uses no pronouns, and there are no exceptions.

Now you know what I’m talking about, there’s new information under the cut!

Winter has three other siblings: Summer, Clematis, and Bennington / Bennin. Winter has more contact with Summer, since au has actually settled down. Clematis is in college, and has been studying a lot, so he rarely talks to anyone. Bennin was doing photography for a bit, but no one really knows what she’s doing now. 

Summer lives in Maine with aur pet pig, Charlie, and often video calls from the house. When given the opportunity, Winter sometimes visits Summer and stays for a week before going back home. Summer is just a really accepting older sibling, and the oldest out of everyone (au mainly does photography, and writes articles for aur blog).

Clematis usually has to be dragged out of his studying to take a break, and Winter usually does it because Winter is closer to him. He will never (willingly) relax, so it’s safe to assume he’s either being forced to relax or something’s seriously wrong if he’s actually relaxing. He’s nearly identical to Winter in personality, but put in some more “recklessness” and add in “inability to relax”.

No one knows what Bennin is doing, not even she knows what she’s doing. She started photography a while back, but stopped because she thought it was a Summer-thing (au tried to explain to her that nothing’s off-limits because one person already likes it, but failed). She’s still in high school, so it worries both Winter and Summer when Bennin talks about finding an end-game job immediately after high school. 

Both Winter and Summer work to help their younger siblings with college (if Bennin decides to go). Summer always has rooms open for aur siblings, if they ever decide to live with aur in Maine (it’s a big house, and it sometimes gets lonely). Viri is Clematis’ roommate, so he helps keep Winter notified if Clematis does something stupid (like that time he drank so much soda it helped him “see faster”). 

Viri and Winter actually met through an incident with Clematis, where he passed out in the middle of the apartment. This caused Viri to freak out (since Clematis never willingly relaxes), and caused him to use Clematis’ phone to call the most recent person (which was Winter). This phone call led to Winter coming over, finding out what happened, Viri and Winter carrying Clematis to his room, and then the two of them talking until he woke up.

From oldest to youngest: Summer, Winter, Clematis, Bennin. Summer is 32 years old, Winter is 27 years old (older by 13 minutes), Clematis is 27 years old (younger by 13 minutes), and Bennin is 16 years old.

Summer uses au/aur/aurs/aurself pronouns. Winter uses no pronouns. Clematis uses he/him and they/them pronouns. Bennin mainly uses she/her pronouns but has been testing out xe/xim/xis pronouns.

Basic Information Sheets

I finally finished the basic character sheets for (most of) my OCs!! They’re all under “keep reading”. 

Note: This was before the creation of the “Numbered 1 through 13″ group, so they won’t be included in this. A separate post will be made for them later. 

Name: Bonnie Yezany Job: Security Guard Species: Zenyany (4/4) Gender: Questioning Pronouns: It/Its Orientation: Questioning Note(s): Just an average security guard! Only purpose is to guard the over-glorified office building, nothing more.  Note(s) on Species: Common pattern in its species is the last names ending in “-any”. Usually has 3 to 8 eyes. Communicates via telepathy, so sign language is needed when speaking to superiors. 

Name: Clematis Bo Miele Job: Barista Species: Human (4/4) Gender: Demiguy Pronouns: He/Him, They/Them Orientation: Asexual Homoromantic Note(s): A very stressed college student who hates their job due to the singing. A gay disaster. He is unaware that some people at Winter’s workplace find romantic interest in him, since he’s only there to deliver coffee.

Name: Daisy Caise Job: Artificial Helper (Pre-Incident), None (Post-Incident) Species: Hologram (Pre-Incident), Robot (Post-Incident) Gender: Unknown (Questioning, Post-Incident) Pronouns: Xe/Xim Orientation: Asexual Demiromantic Note(s): Can still be a hologram after the incident, but prefers the robot body. Always references wikipedia for information, and refers to wikipedia as “the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit!”. Will panic if left alone for too long. Note(s) on Species: Originally meant to be in a hivemind. Can be infected by the virus going around the robots in the lab. 

Name: “Lilac”  Job: Agent (During Incident), [REDACTED] (Pre-incident, Post-incident) Species: Shapeshifter [unknown what type] (4/4) Gender: Genderfluid Pronouns: They/Them, She/Her, Ze/Zim Orientation: Questioning Note(s): Under the tag “shapeshifting lilac”. Has unknown history with Oliv, but they really don’t like each other that much.  Note(s) on Species: Blood is purple, since blood is purple. Main form is spider-like in appearance. Not similar to other shapeshifters in abilities, so it’s assumed that they’re either a fake or that they’re a lone member of their species.

Name: Meredith Peppy “Meri” Stewart Job: Scientist (Pre-Incident), [REDACTED] (Post-Incident) Species: Human (3/4), Actolan (1/4) Gender: Agender Pronouns: She/Her, They/Them Orientation: Demisexual Panromantic Note(s): S/O uses “Pepsi” instead of “Peppy” as their middle name, due to their love of the beverage. Can lift heavy objects over their head (thanks to the ability to levitate objects). Isn’t great at remembering names. Note(s) on Species: Eyes naturally glow, but intensity depends on emotions. Has vampire-like fangs that are very sharp. Can pause time for certain amounts of time (the amount of time puased is how much the user ages, due to everything else stopping).

Name: Oliv Ine Vinstock Job: Scientist (Pre-Incident), Security Guard (Post-Incident) Species: Human (3/4), Robot (1/4) Gender: Genderqueer Pronouns: They/Them Orientation: Demisexual Demiromantic Note(s): Has no idea how to interact with human beings, so no understanding of social cues or facial expressions. Prefers to have face covered, for unknown reasons (might relate to the past note). Has many rumors about them, especially about their relationship to Daisy Caise. 

Name: Quin  Job: Office Worker  Species: Reeseer Gender: Questioning Pronouns: She/Her, It/Its, They/Them Orientation: Questioning Note(s): Under the tag “cyan-haired pine tree”, since the only appearance was pining over the security guard. Hair tends to flare up due to any emotions. Note(s) on Species: Physically can’t speak or hear (no ears, no mouth), so sign language is needed when speaking to superiors. 

Name: Viridian Jack “Viri” De Angelis Job: Souvenir Shop Worker (Pre-Incident), Bakery Cashier (Post-Incident) Species: Human (4/4) Gender: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Questioning) Pronouns: He/Him Orientation: Asexual Demiromantic  Note(s): Working to open up his own business. Goes to college for a lot of things... And somehow isn’t sleep deprived. 

Name: Winter Marion Miele Job: Scientist (Pre-Incident), Baker (Post-Incident)  Species: Human (4/4) Gender: Agender Pronouns: None Orientation: Asexual Aromantic Note(s): Would be a good parent, if there were any children who needed a parental figure. Likes lifting up the short friends and carrying them around, since that’s a thing that Winter can do.

About Viri

If you have no idea what I’m talking about: Viri is an OC I’ve drawn once. He is Winter’s best friend, and he is Clematis’ roommate (they go to the same college). He works at the souvenir shop on the Tour Floor of the lab a majority of my OCs work at. Viri uses he/him pronouns.

More information is under the cut! 

He’s going through college so he can start a business, and has taken many majors to do this. He used to work at a coffee shop, but when Winter mentioned that there was a position open at the lab Winter worked at, he really couldn’t refuse (more time to spend with friend). It’s an easy job, to him, since he only needs to interact with kids, teachers, co-workers, the occasional scientist from the lower levels, and one really stubborn HEXbot. The occasional scientist is often Dr. Vinstock, since they’re the only one who can get the HEXbot downstairs.

The very stubborn HEXbot is 0000ff, who somehow manages to run up the stairs faster than the scientists can use the elevator. 0000ff often “annoys” Viri by messing with the merchandise, taking apart the vending machines, etc.. 0000ff ends up putting the machines back together (”reluctantly”), so it doesn’t really annoy Viri that much. Dr. Vinstock doesn’t really annoy him, either, since all they really do is scold 0000ff and buy a stuffed animal.

I mentioned in his first post that he has a tendency to fall asleep by accident, no matter what. He also sleep walks, but only sometimes. Most of the time, a scientist on the Tour Floor walks him to the break room before he can get into anything dangerous (the Tour Floor is actually three floors: Main Floor, Crash Testing, and the Edibles Department). He’s often stopped on the Main Floor, but he has walked into Edibles once (Meri’s S/O stopped him before he could walk into a flying soda can). 

He likes sewing, and plans to open a business that makes clothes. He is currently doing things locally, since it’s easier for him. A majority of his clothes are either altered or made by him in some form, so he has a lot of experience, but he still ends up pricking himself by accident. 

During the lab accident, he was trying to reason with the door robot (affectionately called “Hooty” by everyone in the lab) to open up so they could get their coffee. Clematis was delivering coffee that day, so he was also trying to reason with Hooty to open up so people could get their coffee. At the time Hooty was infected (it went unnoticed, since Hooty has no HEX lights), so the virus just trapped people in the facility. Meri later commented on how there were “literally no other exits from the facility other than the fire exits”, and that should have been a safety hazard.

About Meri

If you have no idea what I’m talking about: Meri is an OC I've had for a while, but isn't fully fleshed out yet. She works in the Edibles Department, and is often working on beverages. Meri uses she/they pronouns, but prefers to be called gender neutral terms. I talked about her a bit in this post.

More information is under the cut!

Meri used to work at a cafe with Clematis, but started working at the local research facility after completing her degree. She isn’t entirely human, but she passes as human surprisingly well. I don’t have a specific idea yet, but my current idea is that she would be 1/4 alien (I’m going to call the species “Actolans/Actola”) and 3/4 human.

Her first name is Meredith, but she likes going by Meri because it seems less formal to her. The only people allowed to call her Meredith are her S/O (Charlie Ellie), Clematis, and her dads. She doesn’t know Viri, and the only way they meet is through the lab incident.

She likes soda, which is why she mainly makes beverages in the Edibles Department. It’s an ongoing inside joke between her and Winter that they’re going to make Evil Powerade. It hasn’t happened, yet, but Meri talks about it with random people going through Edibles. Even though she loves soda, she doesn’t like it when people compare her last name to the soda brand, so please don’t.

She stims!! Her main ones are vocal stims, and there are many moments where her and Winter are in an echolalia loop repeating phrases because they sound nice. These loops usually consist of foods, incorrect pronunciations of other languages, and random phrases from TV shows. 

She fully got introduced to Viri after everyone managed to get out of the facility, and she grew to like him. He tried to introduce her to musicals like Heathers (she hated every death scene) and Beetlejuice (there was so many death mentions), and she hated both of them. Before, she didn’t like musicals due to a performance her high school was driven to, and she still doesn’t like musicals.

If you’re wondering what her alien traits are: 

- Her eyes glow (HEX code F8BE6C)

- She can stop time for a short amount of time. She can only do this for a day or two, at most, instead of the two weeks 1/2 actolans can do.

- She has abnormally sharp teeth. They’re just vampire fang look-alikes, but they’re still abnormally sharp. 

- She has the ability to levitate objects and float them in a direction. She often uses this to get beakers and sodas that are far from her.

🥀 ? any oc for Prim Oc Angst /lh

🥀 Has your OC ever been hurt by someone they love? Ever been betrayed? Abused? Attacked? Give me the angst! (if you’d like, write a short drabble about it!)

You want a drabble, Mallow? You're getting the prime angst drabble! /lh

Under the cut...

He really shouldn’t have trusted them about that. At this rate, Clem knew that he was going to be showing up at an empty house, but he still hoped. He really shouldn’t have hoped. (34)

Of course, his first betrayal was when some people he barely knew invited him over for a party. It’d be rude to refuse, even though it was also his birthday that day, but they all looked at him so expectantly. “Being rude was ruder than being betrayed,” he thought, as he sat on the step of some stranger’s house. (59)

Honestly, what was he thinking, just trusting like that?

Roses by Shawn Mendes?

Sorry it took me so long to answer! Thanks for introducing me to this song, btw!!

I mainly associated this song with Clematis, who I haven’t really talked about a lot on this blog (I will make a post about him!).
