JONATHAN HARKER'S JOURNAL

(Kept in shorthand.)

31 May.— Dear diary, I couldn’t find my diary so I’m writing this on both of my Kung Fu Panda 2 DVDs.

[its-time-to-be-silly]

Every day it's more harrowing

so quietly harrowing

😭 just eat him! I can't take it

#I Think this is the right date. if I'm wrong then I will fake my death and change my name.

"Do you-" "If you suggest I sit in your lap I'll kill you."

“That’s enough. Take a cold shower and when you’re done come back to me.  Don’t dress yourself.  No drying off."

“Tell me how I’m supposed to un-love you, then. Tell me. Spare me.”

“You look like you want to devour them.” +

“My feelings aren’t real and my heart’s a fucking idiot.”

"This doesn't mean anything, right? We're just friends?" +

“Well, I’m sorry I fell in love with you, okay? But it happened and I can’t do shit about it.” “You… What?” 

"If this is a joke it isn't funny."

"You have a piercing where?"

“Bet you they don’t make you sound like that, do they?” +

“That could be us.” “That is us.” +

"What, did you think all those times I kissed you were for shits and giggles?" "Let's be real, you had a lot of fun shoving your tongue down my throat in public." +

"Get up." +

"I’m in a good mood today, you may choose your punishment this time but only if you ask for it politely." +

"Come here. Sit in my lap and tell me what you want." +

"What are you doing up so late?" +

Oral as punishment +

Sex after a near death experience +

Becoming self-conscious after the clothes come off +

Trusting enough to give up control

Discussing boundaries before doing something new in bed

Playing with their hand. +

Washing their hair

Trying to find those little souvenirs with your names on it

Drunk confessions

Pulling them closer by the back of the neck

Going to sleep after an argument

Forehead kisses

A hug from behind

Kissing scars

Somehow your training session turns into a tickle fight

Hello! I'm turning 14 this year and my birthday is on May 31 and I'm just sooooo excited so uh, I'm wondering if it's ok for me to use this art you made of Wally to be put on my birthday cake and or cupcake.

My mom said that the person she ordered the cake from is already finding pictures of Wally to be on my cake, but I want to eat a cake with beautiful art from great creators that gave me permission to, no matter what flavor of cake it is I don't want to feel guilty eating a cake that has stolen art on it, that will not be such a happy birthday.

So I'm going around finding cute and cool art of Wally darling for my birthday cake!

So if it's ok with you can I use this one? I will put credit if I post any pictures on my cake and cupcakes if you're more comfortable with that!

I'm not an influencer or anything so I don't think I can make you any popular

I'm just a highschooler who just loves welcome home and Wally, but enough of that, time for the million dollar question >=]

What type of cake do you like? :DD

OH MY GOD???? THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY LIKE WHAT???? I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT TO SEE THE RESULTS

PLS I'D LOVE TO SEE HOW IT TURNED OUT

FEEL FREE TO USE MY ART FOR SURE!!!

I Wish YOU THE MOST HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY IN ADVANCE,FRIEND!!!

Tbh i love every type of cake! But my favorite is red velvet for sure! Thank you for asking!!!! Have a nice day/night!

*(Since there's 2 pre-canon fics and 2 days of may before dd, i'm setting those fics on those dates. Dates of undated fics are also adjusted to not overlap with date of other fics)

September 30th or October 1st (preferably the former since the dd entry is slightly shorter that day) 25-A pale orphan. October 2nd 26-You will not call in vain. Between September 30th and October 11th?? 27-Renfield’s death. October 3rd 28-Safe for one more moment. October 3rd 29-A week in varna. Between October 15th and October 27th? 30-Waiting. Between October 17th and October 27th? 31-Hungry. Between October 17th and October 27th? 32-Judge moneybag. Between October 15th and October 27th? 33-How i miss my phonograph.

Omg guys it's may already I'm so exited for this. This year I know I will be up do date with everything even tho I'm busy with my End of Degree Project because the dracula fixation i caught last year is a part of my life now I have been planning this so long guys.

pt: thanks. end pt.

thank you to everyone who helped us get here :] when we initially started this blog, it was meant as an escape & a break from coining and creating things for others. we wanted a space where we could just create for ourself, without having to worry about others' approval. i didn't expect it to grow, considering how niche what i made was.

but, through creating things for myself, i've found a small community of people like me. i don't think i'd have met, or even remained friends with a lot of people if i didn't start this blog. i'm forever grateful for it, and for the people i met through it. so, thank you to everyone! everyone who loved what i created and encouraged me to keep going!

[waterfallofspace]

31 for whoever you think would fit! :D ^o^

Hello there :DD hehehe~~ thank you for the ask!! I picked TD/DK, with S/hoto being the sneezy one. Since I've already done 31 with another thing, I took the concept and changed it a tad, but hopefully it's still sticking with the theme enough! (plus, this works so well with the concept I came up with, which I hope you'll enjoy ;D) 2k words, prompt 31 (ish) story under cut! All characters are 18+, this is set when they're pro heroes. (picture mid 20's) 31: “You’ve sneezed four times. That’s not like you” (There is mild crying, just in case anyone doesn't like that, but it's happy tears, I promise~!)

~~~~~~~

Walking through the mall, Izuku ducks behind Shoto as they pass another store he’s no longer allowing himself into. Rambling a bit, he finds himself explaining the whole story to Shoto, who for his part, is humming in agreement every so often. Not a lot of words, but Izuku doesn’t need them. 

“-and so that’s why I stopped buying clothes there. I just didn’t know how to show my face again after that! I mean, how do you look an employee in the eyes knowing they’ve seen you forget your own signature for a fan…? It’s hard to be a pro sometimes, ya know?”

“Especially when said ‘pro’ is on two hours of sleep and seven cups of coffee.”

“It- it wasn’t seven!”

Shoto pauses, turning to face Izuku, a smirk painted across his features.

“How many was it then?”

A blush spreads across Izuku’s ears, dipping down into his cheeks as the floor suddenly becomes deeply interesting.

“M- maybe five… but that’s at most!”

Another hum, but this time Shoto releases a chuckle along with it, Izuku’s eyes finally unlocking with the floor to study his boyfriend. ‘It’s not uncommon to see him smile. He’s gotten better since UA days, even back then he’d smile but… he had a lot more going on. More repressed… I don’t think he knew how to let go, how to actually feel what he was feeling, how to show it. But now he-’

“Izuku, you’re doing it again.”

“Wha-?”

“The muttering.”

“Oh… s- sorry, some habits are hard to break…”

Shoto lets his hand brush up from Izuku’s shoulder to his neck, grinning at the shudder that runs through him. Izuku can’t help the sigh that escapes as Shoto lets his fingers rest gently on his cheek.

“You know I don’t mind. I just want you to ramble out loud so I can listen too, instead of in your head. The muttering may be cute, but it’s not very informative.” 

If Izuku was blushing before, he’s practically on fire now. Shoto always does know the exact thing to say to make him feel better. He’s not someone who uses a lot of words, but the ones he does are carefully chosen. Picked from the herd in his mind to be the best choice for this specific instance. Izuku always admired that, it was a skill he didn’t share. His thoughts seemed inclined to bring the whole herd with them, running free from his mouth without hesitation. 

“Izuku, you still with me?”

“Hm? Oh, yeah, sorry, just… thinking. Let’s keep walking?”

Shoto nods, and Izuku traces down his arm, locking their fingers together. A smile breaks through Shoto’s calm expression, and Izuku matches it with a beaming glow of his own. They continue through the mall for another few stores, Izuku rambling about the newest pro on the scene, until Shoto suddenly ducks into his free hand.

“hH’kngt-gnxxt’iew-!”

“Oh, bless you!”

“Thank you. Excuse me.”

A silence settles between them, Shoto lightly sniffling against it, and Izuku’s mind racing. ‘A double, like normal. Probably nothing, but if he has another it might mean-’ 

“You were talking about the power balance, and how it might shift with the new pro?”

It was still unusual to Izuku. Having someone who not only wanted to listen to his rambling, but would actively remember what he was on about, and remind him if he got distracted. ‘With most people, it’s kind enough for me if they don’t mind it. But… how did I get so lucky with Shoto? He wants to hear it, he wants me to continue!’ 

“Right! So because she has this amazing quirk, but it’s entirely skill based when it comes to combat situations, she’s gonna completely change the way that we look at-”

“hH’eshh-izzshh-aschhh-ktshh’oo-!”

Izuku stops dead in his tracks, wheeling around to face Shoto with his mouth hanging open.

“W- what’s with that look?”

“You… are you….”

Shoto sniffles, lightly swiping at his nose with a closed fist as Izuku stares.

“You sneezed…”

“Yeah? People do that-”

“No, no, you sneezed four times, that’s not like you. Not in a row, anyways. Usually it’s doubles, or sets of doubles, so you can get up to 10 in a fit, but they’re never piling over each other like that, they have a break in between the sets. Singles occasionally if you’re sick, and you can get three if you stifle the second in a double and it breaks free with another sneeze after, but four in a row is… unheard of… it’s not like you…”

There’s a slight pink tint to Shoto’s ears, starting to match his rapidly pinkening nose, as he listens to Izuku’s analysis. Izuku finally takes a breath, looking up and noticing the blush, and immediately feels his blood run cold. 

‘Why did I say that out loud- he knows I analyze hero information, and things that are relevant- and well he knows I know everything about All Might, but so does most, well, everyone- but he didn’t know about this… I just… I catalogue everything about him, and I notice patterns as part of my fighting style, so it comes naturally to me to analyze his patterns… he’s probably mad, or embarrassed, come on Izuku, why did you-’ 

“You really noticed all those patterns? I didn't even know most of that.” 

The voice cuts through his internal monologue, silencing the voices in his head with a power over him that only Shoto seems to hold. Izuku offers a shy smile, the hand that’s interlocked with Shoto’s twitching a little as he contemplates letting go. But the reassuring squeeze he’s given stops those thoughts too.

“Y- yeah… I just- I have a brain that notices patterns, and I don’t always get to choose when it kicks in, but I’ve found I analyze things I love most, like heroes, All Might, and…”

“And me?”

“And you.”

Shoto beams at him, a smile that sucks Izuku’s air clean out of his chest. Soon Shoto mimics this breathlessness, but for an entirely different reason.

“hIH’INGT-! hhah’ishhh-aeshhh-keSHH-IZZSHH’oo-!”

“Bless you.”

“Guhh… Thank you. It’s still so itchy… a- hahh-! Oh, excuse me. Thought I was gonna sneeze again. Any ideas of why this is happening bouncing around in that mind of yours?”

“R- really..? It’s not weirding you out..?”

“hihh’hePTSHHH’oo-aahhESHH’oo-! Excuse me. I promise, it’s not. I’m also quite curious what’s causing this s- so… so I…. hehh- Icanstopit- heH’nxggt-knngt-ESCHH-IZSHH’oo-!”

“Bless you! Well, you should start by letting them out. When you stifle them it just makes the tickle last longer, and the sneezes get more intense. Plus… it’s gotta hurt, right? When I try, it always makes my throat ache for the next few days.”

“I guess it’s a matter of practice, it doesn’t really hurt anymore, unless I do it too often. But I’ll accept your conclusion, no more stifling it is.”

Izuku feels another blush forming, his cheeks starting to swell with heat. In an attempt to crush the feeling before it can bloom, he focuses his efforts on analysis. 

“You’re not sick, you said it was just itchy, right?”

He gets a nod in response, Shoto’s free hand coming up to rub at his nose again, eyes glossing over as he stares off into the distance. Izuku pauses, waiting for the inevitable to come before he continues his thought. 

“hEH’ashhh-eschhh’iew-!”

“Bless you. See, more gentle already! Anyways- it’s just itchy, so not a cold, though I knew that already, colds for you will usually start in the throat or chest, with a cough or a sore throat, just sneezing out of the blue is unusual for an illness. So, probably an allergen. It’s not gonna be cats in the mall, plus those sneezes are usually more rapid and stick in doubles… Maybe pollen if we passed a flower store-” 

“Let’s find out.”

With that, Shoto uses their interlocked hand to pull Izuku along with him as he retraces their steps. Izuku keeps his eyes on the stores they pass, trying to discern any cause of the reaction, while still letting his mind ramble freely from his lips.

“It’s probably not pollen actually, you usually get more hitchy. Long, drawn out buildups, and these are coming on fairly suddenly… Hey wait! Stop here, I think I found it!”

Izuku grinds them to a halt, letting his gaze fall on the store in front of them, ‘Sleep Wellness’. Letting go of Shoto’s hand, eliciting a slight whine from the other man, he steps inside.

‘I can smell… something… it’s sort of like water but with earthy tones… eucalyptus maybe?’ His eyes settling on a diffuser spraying out a mist into the air. Stepping out of the store and back to Shoto, Izuku grins.

“I found it! They have a diffuser in there. That sprays a scented mist into the air, I’m guessing it’s to help you fall asleep faster, since it’s a sleep store and all. I doubt you’ve come into contact with one, they’re not super common, and I’m pretty sure the smell is eucalyptus, which isn’t that common either. Probably why I’ve never seen you have this sort of reaction before."

Without a word, Shoto steps into the store, and before Izuku can stop him, leans in and takes a sniff of the diffuser. The reaction is instant, tears jumping to his eyes as he frantically ducks into his arm with the fit that breaks through.

“hEH’IZSSHH’oo-! AESHH’yuu-! Ischhh-kesshh-tesschhh-hhreshhh’oo-! W- whoops.. hAH’ASHHH’iew-! heH’TSHHH’oo-! mMTSHH’oo-! RSHHH’iew-!”

“Shoto what the heck?!”

Izuku yelps, grabbing him by the arm and pulling him towards the exit, Shoto helplessly sneezing into his arm as they go. Izuku whispers blessings, and offers bashful waves and apologies to people they pass, reciting-

“He’s okay, yeah, sorry, yeah he’s fine, just need some fresh air, sorry, yeah he’s fine!” 

“kNNGT’choo-! inGT’choo-! nngxtt-inngxt-knnnxgt-NGXT’choo-!”

“Bless you, don’t stifle Sho~, it’s just gonna make it worse, we’re almost outside, just try to breathe, please don’t faint, I don’t think I could carry you-.”

Shoto manages to meet his eyes through the sneezes, watery eyes still beaming with something that Izuku would almost call… pride?

“I’m- heH’izsshh-esschhh-aeshhh-hAH’ESCHH’oo-! Scuse me, I’m o- hEH’MMTSHH-! hH’RRSHH’oo-! I’m okay.”

“Bless you…” 

They make it to the doors, Izuku practically dragging the sneezing man through the crowds, before finally making it to a semi-private area. Izuku lets go, and Shoto immediately leans his back against the wall, bending into his chest with another desperate group.

“hEH’ISHH-kesshhh-mmgshhh-iZSSHH’iew-!”

“Bless you, Shoto. Mind telling me why exactly you sniffed the thing you were allergic to?”

“I wanted to prove your theory. It was… stunning… to watch your beautiful mind at work, I wanted to show that you were right. I just… hEH’EASHH’oo-! RRESHH’oo-! ‘Scuse me. I just didn’t anticipate that level of reaction.”

Izuku’s mouth is hanging open once more, eyes starting to water as he stares in awe at Shoto.

“Y- you thought it was…. beautiful..?”

A laugh bursts from Shoto’s lungs, joyous and pure. Izuku feels the tear slip down his cheek, matching the water running down Shoto’s aswell. He frantically sniffles to try to get himself under control, ‘Come on, you’re crying because he called you pretty?’ but Shoto grabs his hand, using his other to reach up and cup his cheek. He gently brushes the tears away, Izuku purring slightly as he leans into the touch, Shoto gently working his fingers up into Izuku’s hair.

“I did. It was beautiful. Like you.” 

With that, Shoto leans in, planting a soft kiss against Izuku’s trembling lips. They seem to melt into each other, arms wrapping around their backs, until finally Shoto breaks away with another rapid-

“Ishhh-keshhh-ashh-izssshh’oo-!” 

“Bless you-”

Izuku offers, just as light and breathy as the sneezes. Shoto laughs, the full body kind that has him leaning against Izuku’s chest for support. It’s a rare kind of laugh for Shoto. Something pure, full of joy, full of something Izuku didn’t know existed. Not until he met Shoto.

And now? Now his life is bursting with it.

CHARACTER ASK GAME YES :DD

Okay.. 9, 10, 27 for Orsinio, 1, 11, 31 for Miles, 4 for Sam, and G for you + O! (Ik this is a lot I just adore your stories, don’t feel obligated to answer all of them!)

"Adore" Thank you 🥺💜

Under the cut because it got long. Ask game here

9. Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?

Not sure what his first would be. Orsinio uses the period-typical "damn" most frequently. He doesn't swear much but when he does he prefers to do so in Irish

10. What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?

When Orsinio first came to the Neath, he was dodgy about his background and used an ambiguous London accent because he was on a revenge quest and didn't want to have his quest slowed down by unwanted attention. Almost as soon as he was done with Nemesis, he stopped hiding his identity, and that time period of his life is the biggest falsehood he regrets.

27. What causes them to feel dread? 

The idea he and his loved ones may have been played as pawns in the machinations of a higher, distant, cruel power. The idea of any of his loved ones being in danger and him being powerless to intervene, all his learning for nothing--or, if he does have the power to intervene but the person won't let him.

1. What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do?

Miles can be still for a long time. They have a fluid and intentional type of moving. Miles can concentrate on one thing for hours and not move an inch. This becomes troublesome when the thing being focused on is dark magic.

11. How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?

If Miles finds something they can't understand, they tend to walk away, not willing to waste time on it. There's a note of pride with thinking anything they aren't immediately good at isn't worth learning. When confused with emotions, Miles buries the emotions even harder. Miles isolates like a cat when feeling off-center. Orsinio does the same thing. In a rare moment of weakness, Miles might go to Orsinio for answers. Despite everything, Orsinio wants to help. But Miles never likes the type of answers or help Orsinio can offer, and everyone gets even more frustrated.

31. Who are they the most glad to have met? 

The most important person to Miles is their younger sister. Even at the darkest moments, thinking of Marguerite reminds Miles they have some humanity.

4. How easy is it to earn their trust?

Samuel trusts people until he gets a reason not to; or he doesn't trust people until he gets a reason to. Basically, in most cases, he doesn't feel strongly either way. Saving his life or having the courage to speak up when he's doing something questionable can earn his trust. The kids earned his trust simply by bothering him repeatedly until he couldn't and didn't want to get rid of them.

G. What trait of theirs bothers you the most?

Ooh what would this answer be. I thought about this for a while. The thing is, a lot of his flaws, I can be sympathetic with. He can be stubborn, or impulsive, or have a hard time letting others help, or have a black/white view of morals, or have a bit of a guilt complex. While making that list, I realized the thing that bothers me most would be his risk seeking/gambling with his own life type of behavior. Risk for addictive tendencies manifests in that way. He's significantly improved on this issue since the breakdown arc, but it does linger in his playing chicken with dealing with the Masters. I'm interested to finish Por Una Cabeza since it's about gambling.

THURSDAY JUNE 30TH, 2011 (Rael's Exodus II: Indisen)

4:17 AM Good morning, journal! :D Donnie’s still asleep. I think I’ll take a morning walk.

4:32 AM Stuff on the walls. Not entirely sure what that is. Might be water?

4:35 AM ”INDISEN” It’s written on the wall. Looks like blood. o_o

4:36 AM There’s a lot of this blood trailing past “INDISEN” and going into this room. This is someone’s room, I know it. I don’t remember whose. I knocked.

4:37 AM Nobody’s answering. I’ll keep trying.

4:38 AM Okay, I’m openrevji0 hellooooo This is surprising. Oh god where did my emotions go. It’s, uh.. it’s the Innkeeper. She’s dead. Head decapitated, sliced clean off. I think the Masked Massacrer is on board the Exodus. I need to tell someone.

4:51 AM The bridge, found the bridge, telling Doctor Jackson.

4:55 AM God, there’s not really much we can do besides be prepared to kill anyone who attacks us. This is gonna be hell.

5:34 AM Sneaking back into bed.

9:09 AM You know what I really like, journal? Waking up to find Donnie cuddling me.

9:27 AM I wonder if there’s any breakfast today.

9:33 AM YES There is. :D Weetabix! :DD

9:38 AM MOTHERF oh “Lowest Point” has a really big drop, caught me off-guard. ..wait, “Lowest Point.” Why’s that playing? God, who cares, this song kicks ass.

9:44 AM DRAW A STAIRWAY FOR MY GOD TO SPITE THE SOFA OF MY FAITH

10:03 AM “I hope you folks enjoyed that little wake-up call there. Found it among Yates’ music. Specifically, we found a sheet of paper attached to this album, We Excavate, by Sunsetters. The paper said ‘Track 8.’ “Anyway, this is your captain speaking. Doctor Jackson did a fantastic job covering for me in the night shift, and now he’s gone to sleep. Now it’s my turn again. So, uh.. good morning! I hear chef Gusteau is serving some breakfast in the dining room this morning. “The skies look clear and red, the seas oddly still. We’re making great progress, record time so far. So.. welcome to day two of your voyage on the R.M.S Exodus. “What’s that? ……oh. I’ve just been informed that a miss Penelope Judge passed away last night. You may have known her as the innkeeper at the lovely seaside inn in Liverpool. I assure you, her passing away had nothing to do with Patrick Yates’ yesterday. “Anyway, these unexpected developments only strengthen the point of my advice for you ladies and gentlemen: stay alive. Fitzgerald out.” Interestingly enough, he’s right about the deaths being unrelated. I’m heading back to my room. Donnie’ll be wondering where I am.

10:31 AM I brought Donnie back some fruit. :D And some toast!

11:00 AM ..door. Donnie’s getting it. It’s a girl. Fifteen, I think. What was her name Quinn, Quinn Tickrand. She wants to hang out with us. Because we seem like cool people. And she feels unsafe. ..o_o Wait, what?

11:04 AM Quinn’s parents are missing. She says they were having an argument, a very nasty argument, and she left the room to get some fresh air but when she went back down they were gone and they haven’t come back. We said she could stay with us until they show up again. Which they will. They will.

11:11 AM I do wish they would show up.

12:34 PM ..Donnie heard a noise. Came from the hallway. Quinn says it’s probably her parents looking for her. I concur.

12:36 PM NO YOU FUCKER NO FUCKING NO FUCKING RAKE. Quinn’s dead. >___< The Rake’s run off again, back to its cargo hold. So this is how it’s gonna be, Rake. Picking us off one by one. Saving me for last, me, the White Jester you want. You bastard.

12:59 PM We’re telling the captain about this.

1:02 PM “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. If any of you know where Mister and Missus Samuel and Janet Tickrand are, please tell them to come up to the bridge. Once again, Samuel and Janet Tickrand, please come up to the bridge. As for the rest of you, stay alive. Fitzgerald out.”

1:05 PM Miss DeNumante came in. To the bridge. She says the Rake kidnapped her son, Brian. Carl says he’s had enough of the Rake’s shit. rwahshotgun, he’s got a shotgun. He told me to get my guitar thing and come with him. “We’re gonna open some fucking windows.”

1:34 PM Here we go. Carl Rackleberg and Jordan Dooling, shotgun and Tiger Stripes. Versus the Rake and the Rake’s claws. I am so excited and terrified at the same time.

1:47 PM We step into the cargo hold, and into the mouth of madness. It’s darker than a witch’s ass in here. It’s also colder than a rat’s tit. ..I think I got those backwards.

1:50 PM I hear something. It sounds like the pitter-patter of light footsteps. Not the Rake’s ferocious footsteps, either. Calculating footsteps. Carl has a flashlight, and he’s shining it around, but we can’t quite see anything. Or anyone.

1:51 PM ..THERE where’d it go I can hear it panting and snarling. Something is very wrong about this, though. The Rake’s been oddly quiet up until now.

1:52 PM THERE IT IS AGAIN FUCKER IT’S GOING FOR THE EXIT

1:53 PM Ran out to a hallway Hit a dead-end Time to eat guitar controller, Rake. Wait, I need a one-liner for this. And with this guitar, I shred the Rake a new asshole.

1:55 PM The Rake is dead. I’m not proud of that one-liner. That wasn’t very.. me, y’know? ..wait, where’s Carl? Did he not follow me?

2:00 PM Cargo hold. I don’t see anything at all here. ..flashlight beam! Flashoh

2:14 PM “Attention, ladies and gentlemen? This is your captain speaking. We have some good news and some bad news. “The good news is, that creature that was on board? It’s dead now! Never again will you have to worry about it. The bad news is, our loyal and competent engineer, Carl Rackleberg, has passed away. We all miss him deeply, and.. it’s like ev— “Really? Okay, we’ve got more news. Ms. Desmond has woken up from her comatose state. She’s apparently asking for a Rael. If you or anyone you know happens to know who she might be referring to, please let us know. “In the meantime, I highly recommend considering trying to stay alive. Fitzgerald out.”

3:38 PM I’m visiting Ms. Desmond. I’m gonna see her for myself. Doctor Johnson is here. Not Doctor Jackson, but Johnson.

3:39 PM Well hello, Ms. Desmond. ..who is staring at me. She said “Hello” back. Doctor Johnson is shocked. Ms. Desmond is definitely the old woman I’ve been seeing around. It’s really creepy, looking at her, and she’s in bed and not standing in the middle of a hallway. I asked how she’s feeling. “How are you feeling?” That’s what I got back. I said my name is Jordan. “Your name is Rael.” No, my name is Jordan. “You are Rael to us.” Who’s “us?” “I’m still figuring that one out.” Are you feeling alright, Ms. Desmond? “I’m not sure. I’m still getting used to these feelings.” You’ve been in a coma, Ms. Desmond. Do you remember anything? “I can remember all of my former life.. and a lot more. For instance, I am just a virus to her.” To who? “It has no name of her own.” What doesn’t? o_o “One of us called her the Epping Aquatarkus. Another one of us called her Salmacis. I don’t know what to call her.” But what is that? Who is that? ..no reply now.

3:57 PM That was weird. That’s an understatement. That was really weird. I gotta find Donnie; I want some hugs.

4:22 PM Donnie’s hugs always help greatly. :3

4:44 PM That was a gunshot.

4:50 PM Everyone’s gathered around this door. I take it the gunshot was from in here.

4:51 PM ..no. D: Miss DeNumante. There’s even a note. “They took my Brian away.” That’s all it says. .___.;;

5:20 PM We.. we’d actually killed the Rake, though. She didn’t have to do it. We were gonna find Brian. We were, we are. Goddamn. Everyone’s dying out there, and she chooses to.. bah. I dunno, journal. I find something depressing about it. And here I thought I was desensitized to people dying by now. I guess it’s cabin fever. Anxiety. I have a lot more time to think now. I don’t like having time to think. But with the Rake dead, we shouldn’t have to worry as much. Now we only have one serial killer on-board, picking us off one-by-one. Hey, it’s better than two.

6:00 PM Sausages for dinner today. Yum.

7:10 PM I’m sorry, journal. I’m just really.. bah. I’m tired, journal. I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.

9:50 PM door goddammit I’ll get it.

9:53 PM It was Mister Finch, like last night. He asked me about Ms. Desmond. I showed him my journal. He read it really fuckin’ fast. But maybe that was just me. Then he quietly said “Rapture.” I asked for clarification. “It’s really coming, Rael. It’s really coming.” Then he walked off.

9:55 PM Rapture is coming. Rapture. Is coming. No matter how many times I write it, it refuses to bring any clarity. It’s just three words, three context-less words, three meaningless words. ..three real words.

11:00 PM eighteen

(Attached: “ Salmacis doesn’t talk much about the past, preferring to discuss the present. Everything’s all logic and accuracy with her, too, which can make for some great conversations and some frustrating ones, depending on your mood. But somewhere in this library, I should have something to offer insight into her past. I should, but I don't. I’ve got information on everyone but her. It’s always here, always all around us, you can’t escape from her liquid mental clutch, yet you can also never learn about her. It always.. slips away, out of your grasp. I’ve lived a long time, a real long time, and I still have no idea where it came from. I think that’s her use of abstraction, her insistence on complexity. If you can create something that’s so complex and so filled with monotony and misdirection, you can scare everyone off. Everyone except those who have, themselves, mastered the art of depersonalization.”)
