T Denial, Consumption, Poison	❧ Played by AJ
Appearance: T appears as a human woman who would not look out of place at a brothel-slash-sushi shop. She's slender, not very tall, and the opposite of well-endowed but holds herself like a lady who knows what she wants and also what she's willing to give. She has long black hair (often worn up) and always wears red lipstick and eyeshadow. She always keeps her neck covered either by a high collar or a scarf and always wears sleeves -- often her clothing is red. It's pretty rare that she stands straight up, often she will slouch or lean or drape. There is a certain laziness to her gesture, but also a coil of power. Both her wrists and neck are scarred (in the rare event that you might see them) and there is a line of scars shaped like snake scales that goes from behind her right ear down her spine. No matter how much she eats she remains itty bitty in proportion. She can also unhinge her jaw. It's kind of terrifying. Characteristics: Obsessive, excitable, childish, greedy, compulsive, a great big fibber, manipulative, annoying, morbid, mercurial, fanciful Likes: Tragedy, stagnation, obsession, compulsion, extremely bright colors, bitter or sour foods, sestinas, unhealthy relationships, corrupt piousness, polite fiction, Freudian concepts, feasts, conversion Dislikes: Acceptance, actualization, sweets, limericks, monogamy, families where all the members are living, conditioning, education, altruism, true faith, monochrome, starvation, diets
Shrine: A salt lick with pretty pink salt. Ritual: LICK THE SALT LICK.
❧ Will Take	❧ Will Give
tears anger guilt poison (not just "don't eat the plants without getting them blessed" but like the poison sacks some animals have) rotten things (decomposing meat or vegetables) admissions or confessions of secrets that revolve around false identities acts of "corrupting another" (bodily or mentally) lamentations teeth tongues stomachs intestines saliva your sense of taste (for a while) gastric juices vomit	Forks/Knives/Spoons/Plates/utensils for eating basically poisons and their antidotes drinking vinegar temporary "iron stomach" (comes with side effect of overwhelming hunger) almonds mace (the spice) edible underwear clothes made of hemp tables/chairs -- though all of her furniture has either d-rings or restraints or weird grooves perfect for bleeding someone out in, regardless of if you want that or not.
On Memory... T also has the ability to do what she calls "help" with memories. More accurately she can bury a memory, create a false memory or attach a "false feeling" to a memory you have. So, if you want to forget your asshole father? She can do that for you. If you want to bridge the gap between two memories she can fabricate a memory that fills in the gaps, so to speak. Or if you just wanted to have a fun childhood memory even if you didn't have a fun childhood, I guess. And she can make things that you remember as being awful be remembered as AWESOME EXPERIENCES :D :D :D or the other way around. Basically if it's altering or falsifying a remembered person/event/feeling she can help you out there!

If your dishes weigh a pound, she wants a pound of intestines. It is almost always an option for items like that. Prices also vary! If you have a good relationship with her it is probably because you inflict or indulge in the emotional side of things (or do more of the 'acts' she accepts) and your general totals may be lower than those good upstanding citizen types.

[morningish of day 27

licking the salt lick]

[oi_theoi]

[ appears! not quite in his space bubble but closer than necessary ]

Oh, again. Hello.

[ticking]

[/whatev/whatev personal space]

Hello again. I thought a bit about your offer, Misty. I think I'd like to take you up on it, but I have a few questions first.

[oi_theoi]

Wicked. I'll listen then.

[ticking]

Mostly, how does it work, exactly? It changes what sort of thing I make disappear, if I can change that thing out, or bring it back whenever I want. If I could change it, or bring it back, could I do that on a whim or would I need to talk to you about it?

[oi_theoi]

The feelings just don't get in the way. Sounds nice, doesn't it? You don't even have to forget anything . . . unless you want that taken too. If you want them again, I guess it's possible. But it's a shame for someone to move backwards in progress, isn't it? So you would have to speak to me, of course.

You'd want to speak to me anyway, right? There's always much to talk about.

[ticking]

Well, there's times when you want something around and times when you don't. But no, I don't mind talking to you.

I have a power a bit like this myself. But I can only reject physical things. I might have lived a very different life if I could turn off things in my head.

[oi_theoi]

I like that too. Physical things need to be pushed aside sometimes.

Maybe if we get along really well you'll get a switch. To flick.

[ticking]

Something to work towards then? You're most accommodating.

All right then, let's be friends, Misty. Help me get rid of what I don't want to feel: sorrow, and you'll always have a faithful companion in me.

[oi_theoi]

I am! Most definitely!

Oh, how wicked exciting. [ And you, sir, get a very tiiiighhhtt hug to seal the deal. There is a load off your emotional chest! ] I do think I will like you.

[ticking]

[hugged by a god

this is a new one

I have to say I feel fucking awesome suddenly tho, and he laughs]

Why thank you. I think I'll like you quite a bit as well.

[oi_theoi]

I'll see you around, surely, then.

[ticking]

[kisses her cheek]

I'll bring you a present next time. Until then.

[oi_theoi]

I'll be waiting!

[ gossshhh so excited ]
