I just want general updates on everyoneeeeeeeeeeeeeee - It's been a while since I've read anything by you. ;o;

Aw gosh aw geez. That's a tall order! XD Anyone in particular? <3

Cassiel, Malice (Mazius?), and I'd like to know more about Bryoniaaaaaaaaaaa

:3 I know, I'm glutton. I want all the things.

No way man, I'm glad you're interested and doubly glad to be able to talk about this stuff.

Cassiel is chronically lonely, but instead of addressing it, he nurses his own sense of self-worth and tries to seem like he's disenchanted with the world; he's unwittingly a little bit of a psychic vampire, hoping that if only someone loves him enough he'll be better off. He's busy trying to make it as an artist, debating going back to school, and showing in galleries here and there in the meantime. He gets pissed with every show; he likes making the art, but thinks selling it and branding himself is bullshit.

Mazius doesn't really stay in one place long. He's a little bit of a bogeyman, and it's in his nature to exist in places "between" where nobody thinks to look. Dreams, shadows. Waiting. He does a lot of waiting. There's a girl who took interest in him some time ago, and he's confused by why she isn't scared of him. He built her a garden, or maybe a cage, with lots of broken bits and interesting things to keep her visiting, but it's been a long time since he saw her last.

Bryonia recently had a falling out with some friends and she's angrily abandoned the group, turning a blind eye to their attempts to make things right. It made her self-destructive and she lucked out by finding a nice young businessman, a weekend warrior, who keeps her happily coked up. She's pretty sharp, and she's never really taken anyone for granted before, so she's riding this out and waiting to see the telltale signs of his boredom, making sure that she has somewhere to go next.

It took me forever to get back to thissss ;o;

I feel like I fall into a similar pattern to Cassiel some of the time and can definitely empathize with a lot of that. :0

I really enjoy the concept of someone existing places that are "between". I can picture Mazius just quietly watching that garden. :>

And Bryonia sounds like someone that would either really get along with or really dislike a few of mine, mostly because they sound really similar (Briar Brook and Jonah mostly because they pretty much ride the same wave/flow of things).

I am absolutely guilty of taking forever to get back to things, so never you mind!

It's the artist trap! Do what you love and struggle to make a living, or shill out and get paid... Few people are lucky enough to do what they love AND get mad bucks.

I'm glad! He is the creepiest of creepsters. >:C

She would likely be down for it! I think she spent too much time trying to fit in and be well liked that she's fascinated by (and trying to emulate) the people who are more unpredictable, who cut and run when things get bad.

What I do?! <3

Mmmm, be the awesome?
