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.

[ '-'! appears and immediately tries to drape on. ]

Good morning.

[ticking]

[allows comfortably]

Morning. How are you?

[oi_theoi]

Wicked! And yourself?

[ticking]

Well. I thought I would come share a story you might enjoy.

[oi_theoi]

Oh? Oh, do share.

[ticking]

Did you know that sometimes you lot drawn in, ah... doppelgangers? We have quite a few of them running around.

[oi_theoi]

[ hmmmmmmm~ ]

Similar people, I think I was aware, yes.

[ticking]

Well, a fellow here had the unfortunate situation of his a doppelganger of his much beloved and long dead friend arriving. As you can imagine, it was rather painful. Close but not nearly close enough. But I remembered that when a similar thing happened to me, the doppelganger immediately went missing and not long after that, the right version appeared.

I told this to the fellow and sure enough, he wanted to give it a try. He killed the copy of his friend, with some help. Ah... but despite what he claimed, his face showed his pain clearly. Even though they weren't the same, it was close enough that it left a mark.

[oi_theoi]

[ oh. Oh. ]

What wicked fun. How interesting! I guess a little unfortunate for one, but that's not that relevant in the end. He was sad? So sorrowful. . .? You're simply the best! Giving a nudge like that!

[ticking]

Ah, he made a good face. It's not so easy to kill someone who loves you, even if he isn't the right one. But he put it away quickly too. I think you'd be proud of him. As long as he keeps telling himself that he is a mighty king, he'll never acknowledge any pain or regret.

[oi_theoi]

I want to meet him. I bet he tastes good too. That sort of person does their best in the best way, I think. And it is good, rather good, to keep moving forward as king, right?

[ have another god-hug ticky ]

[ticking]

[g-god hugs, i guess I am going to get used to this]

He has a doppelganger of his own, and I don't think that one will be quite as tasty for you. But I'll see if I can talk the dumber one into coming by sometime.

[oi_theoi]

[ yes you should. ]

So many doubles with different flavors. I'd like that a lot. Maybe I can help him out . . .[ shifts so she can hold out a cluster of small vials tied together with some string ] This is kind of fun too. Not as fun as how you helped him out, of course, but . . . variety isn't bad?

[ticking]

[? picks up the string of vials to inspect?]

What should I do with these?

[oi_theoi]

Whatever you want, obviously. They're gifts! They all do such fun and different things.

[ticking]

Hm, I see. Are you going to tell me or is finding out part of the gift?

[oi_theoi]

It's more wicked fun with discovery, isn't it?

. . . oh, did you also want their antidote? Since you've brought me such a nice present I can do the same.

[ticking]

I would appreciate it, just in case. But I'll give one to that king and send him to you to earn an antidote of his own, how's that?

[oi_theoi]

The bottoms of the vials have squiggles that match up with each other, to keep that part straight.

[ have another bundle then '-' ]

Oh! Yes! That's perfect!

[ticking]

[takes this bundle too =x]

Thank you for the gift, then. I'll make good use of them.

Ah, one other thing. You like to watch, don't you?

[oi_theoi]

I hope you will.

Mm~ If the show is good I like to watch.

[ticking]

Do you some have some way I can alert you without saying your name? Ger gave me this [it's a little bracelet with a tooth on it] but I think stabbing them with a tooth might be a bit too... ah. Obvious. For the sort of shows you're interested in.

[oi_theoi]

Yes, yes, I could do something like that . . .

I could leave wicked mark on you then you would only have to think strongly. [ hmmms ] But some prefer just an item, which is it for you?

[ticking]

Item. Allen would ask a lot of annoying questions about a mark.

[oi_theoi]

Since you're mine it works the same way I suppose. Marks are just more fun.

[ grabs for one of his hands to examine it. ]

Rings are cute, right?
