Toskikov (DEFUNCT)

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.

  • 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

  • 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!

Note: In general for a lot of trades like dishware and forks/knives T will do a strict weight exchange. 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.

Do you need his feelings on it now, or in five days?

[ And Akito comes back out, looking quite confused. ]

Eh?

Ah...

What do you want to know?

Your feelings for the person you wish to be unfamiliar with. Good and bad, the worst and best.

Ah...

When I first saw him I thought he was mine, and I was very happy until I realized what being here meant. Then I realized he was... different. Like if my Ikki-kun went through the worst kind of Hell for him. I didn't want to think of any version of him going through that so I refused to accept that he was 'Ikki'.

He was mad, and I tried to apologize the next day... He just got even more upset with me. It... hurt. I kept trying to make things better but instead kept making things worse.

And he kept responding in ways that my Ikki never would... He rejected me and my apologies. He wouldn't explain why he was mad at me. He makes me feel like I'm a disappointment. I'm not the 'other' me, so I am pathetic. I'm not the person 'he' remembers. I'm not the 'Akito' that anyone remembers.

He makes me feel like I'm not me. Like I'm not allowed to be an Akito, or someone worth caring about. At home, mine would always make me feel the opposite...

The one that's here... It hurts when I see him. It makes me sad and also angry. If he doesn't like me for me, then around him I'll always be someone else. I'll be bitter and angry, and... I'll be strong instead of weak and pathetic, so then maybe he'll think better of me. But that also just makes things worse.

He is... He makes me feel the worst kind of feelings. I hate it. I hate it. I want to be able to be me without feeling pathetic for it.

I have more important things to focus on than a person who will never accept me, but because he looks, smells, and sounds so much like the person I love most it's too hard to just ignore.


Is that what you needed?

[He pauses, then smiles after a moment.]

Thanks, T-san. I'll see you again in a few days.
