Tales from another broken heart

[Note: This entry will move as it should always be kept as the foremost entry]

This LJ is friends-only

Now it's not because I don't trust people to see my scribbles (cos I've never had a problem) but rather I was having trouble with my filing :)

I'm more than happy for anyone to read this, just let me know the filters you'd like to be able to see by leaving a comment and it'll be added. The sections I have are for:

Camarilla

NPCs (This one's for all the pieces resulting from being ARST Awakening for the North of England - mainly Winter) - This won't have any more added to it either

Vigdis 'Vee' Brightblade, (Acanthus, Free Council, Awakening)

Raven, (Nosferatu, Ordo Dracul, Requiem)

UK Chronicle

Lady Michelle Belasis, Rising Dragon of the Forgotten Path, Brutal Scholar of the Founding Equilibrium, Valued Citizen Sheriff of the Southwark Meritocracy (Requiem, Nosferatu, Ordo Dracul)

Harmony 'Dauntless Spirit' Bezyk, Garmir (Rahu, Blood Talon, Forsaken)

August, Thyrsus Councilor & Sentinel of Anglesey (Thysus, Adamantine Arrow, Awakening)

Zenica (Fairest Dancer, Spring Court, Lost)

Just remember that I've only got one filter set up for each character. Everything is OC info unless I say otherwise.


All character entries that were on vee_brightblade and angstpack have been backdated on here for convenience.

Diary of a Teenage Thyrsus CEMD-120908

OMG! I can't believe in less than two hours I'm 18!

School was mental this week too. Wish me luck for surviving the next ten months.

Note from the Author: This piece is written from August’s perspective. It’s her headspace and thus any opinions expressed are hers, and may not in fact be grounded in anything other than her own delusions.

Diary of a Teenage Thyrsus CEMD-210108



This one's going to be pretty short. I know I should really sit down and update you on everything that's happened over the last month, and a lot of it's important, but right now I just can't.



When I got home from school I went to see Mother in her study. The place doesn't looked like it was touched since I was in there Christmas Eve, yes including her present I left on the desk.



I'm worried Dad. Real worried. 

[Post-it added to diary]
wtf!
I'll need to fill you in later because I'm going out for not-drinks, possibly leading to dinner (considering what time it is). Very much not-date.
And a note for the future. I really need to store more pretty wardrobe choices at the chantry. 


Ok, so I've tried to write this a few times now.
Dinner was lovely, the company fantastic and the walk down the beach perfect.
We talked, about anything and everything.
Everything just left so... right! Like I could just explain everything, all the highs and lows and fears and hopes, and he'd understand. Just being able to have a co-operative, adult conversation and not have to worry every few seconds.
I'm still not ready for a relationship though. I told him that too and he understood just like everything else. Willing to just be there and give me the time I need.
I do like him though. I like him a lot.
And the kiss was amazing.

Diary of a Teenage Thyrsus CEMD-201007

[Authors Note: This is the first of four new entries to Diary of a Teenage Thyrsus I have planned, but considering how busy I've been with Cam Officer work and RL work (which is why you're only getting the first of the post-ICC entries now) I'm not sure when I'll have time to post the others. This will also be friends-locked and backdated shortly.]

Diary of a Teenage Thyrsus CEMD-181007

There was a definite chill in the air, it seeped into the hard wooden pews, into the bones of those who gathered, leaked into their very souls. Perhaps not all of them felt it as they whispered amongst themselves so softly there was barely a mild buzz escaping. Outside it was a glorious summer day, as best as could be had for the area even in August, but the old walls seemed to stand as a barrier to that normal and natural friendliness. Nearly every space in the church was filled, coming from far and wide to pay their final respects to a man they had cherished… or so they said.

‘Where have you been if you cared so much?’

the thought came unbidden and bitter.

‘Did you ever even try to find him, to speak to him, after he left the public eye? Did you wonder why he just vanished into retirement like that? Do you know his paranoia?

…did any of you really know him at all?’

‘Did you?’

She nearly jumped as the question rebounded in her head. It was true she had barely begun to discover the many secrets the man had embroiled in his life. All her life he had been there, guiding and helping her, and he had known her better than any. Better than either of her parents, and better than herself. He could look at you, and really be looking through you, into you, finding out what made you tick and why. That had always been his way and never had she questioned that.

Did you always know I’d see some day? Your little Alice to fall through the looking glass? Except this is the way the world really is not the reflection, the truth is dark and bitter, it’s loneliness and fear.

Are you capable of standing against the darkness without him?

How will you ever survive girl? Your just a child.

Almost sixteen.

She knew it was pride and stubbornness that put fire in those words, but for once she didn’t care. Whether she made it or not, she wouldn’t run and hide like the little girl she very nearly was… had been only a few short months ago… she knew the truth now.

I will fight. For myself, for my family, and for him.

What family?

Granda…? dead.

Grandma…? dead.

Aunt…? dead.

Uncle…? Gone years.

Father…? Gone years.

Mother…?

Sat right beside you yet when did she last speak?

Does she even care any more?

Does she even recognise you since the ‘accident’?

Who have you left to care for? And why should you?

They all just leave in the end.

Shut up.

It’s still important.

We can’t all save the world. But those that can must.

I stand as a warrior before the Lord my God and give myself up to his service. To defend all of His creations who still walk in the light. To uphold His laws and His principles as he has set down. And should I fall in His service, then He shall lift me up.

…I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.

Exactly

As if on cue heavily voices rang out filling the chamber with sweet music. The choir was sad, echoing thoughts and feelings of the passing… but rose to sing of their rejoicing. Both at the gratitude at the life he had given, and the knowledge he was safe in the Lord’s keeping.

At least, that’s what she heard.

Those sentiments carried through the service, and a beautiful thing it was, giving her strength to deliver the reading. She poured her heart into those words knowing in the House of God they could find purchase.

And later, not so very much later, it was over. She stood over the grave of her Grandfather and placed her white rose on the coffin.

They said it was a heart attack Granda, can you believe that?

I know better. I will find out, one day, somehow.

Your fears were real and they came for you.

If I ever seemed to doubt that I’m sorry.

I’m so sorry Granda, can you forgive me?

I know I’m young.

I know I’m not a Warlock like you.

But I’ll fight your fight

Our fight

The worlds fight

I promise

 

She blinked.

She knew what she had done. Remembered what and why.

She remembered walking up to the great monument of the church.

She remembered the journey back, with her Mother never uttering a word.

Yet between was nothing.

A blank page in her mind.

General info

Description

August is a small (5'3), skinny girl who doesn't look like she's past her mid teens yet. Her skin is tanned like she's seen a lot of the outdoors and her auburn hair frames it well, pretty but still she's quite an unassuming looking girl. The observant and trained can tell there's a lot more power in her frame than you'd think for someone her size and plenty of development still to do.

Tonight she's dressed pretty much like this

She does sound slightly welsh but not as strong as you's expect from someone living there.

Vee's info page

Description: Vigdis is a young woman looking to be in her early twenties, certainly no more than mid. Standing at 5'4 her frame is light but she moves gracefully and appears to be in good shape. Her hands, if you shake them, are slightly rougher than you'd expect as though she does a lot of hard work with them.

Her voice with most people is slow and does stutter but the accent is definately english with undertones of London for those that would recognise it. Noticeably there is no such problem in her speech when talking to Mikal and it's barely noticeable with a few others.

She usually dresses in darker shades than you'd expect from an Acanthus but often there are flecks of paint or other substances on her clothing. Although rarely scruffy she's far from the most well maintained mage out there but her appearance never seems to be important to her.

Right now she doesn't look all that well. Her features are a little gaunt and dark rings circle her eyes as though she hasn't been sleeping well in quite some time. There's a slightly manic edge to her voice and mannerisms even when she's talking as normally as she can.


Now the Free Council wiki is up, I have a renewed wiki for her. Please add stuff... it's an amalgum of the old one and the one that was on the main Awakened wiki pages.

You want info on Dauntless Spirit, well watch this space...

This is where general info for Shelly will appear...

This is where general info for the good Bishop will appear...

Tabitha Aemilianu
Bishop of London [LS 3]
Councillor of London Without [London 3]
Elder of House Aemilianu [Ventrue 2]

Description

Captured in her late teens, Tabitha Aemilianu is a stunningly beautiful woman (Striking Looks 4) with a commanding presence despite her short and petite frame. Soft spoken for the most part she is an excellent and obviously well practiced public speaker, with a well clipped English accent.

Dressed in a sweeping black and red velvet dress showing off her figure without actually revealing any more than  a hint of cleavage. Long blonde hair curls around her shoulders pinned back and adorned with a red rose.

Also OOC Note: Blood Potency 4

I don't have wiki's for my NPC's but wanted somewhere to put quotes and general info. Here's as good as any.
