Mistress Dizzy

Life in Gloomminster

*inhale*
*exhale*

I had my birthday and a job interview on Wednesday. On the way to the interview, I encountered a major 4 way intersection with all lights down (cops, construction crews, the whole 9). Found the interview street but some stupid ******* was blocking the road in such a way that I had to reverse my car on a turn to get back on the street. Got around *that* and before I parked... my car starts thudding. Flat tire.

...a problem for the Dizzy that exists after the interview.

So by this point I am about 15 minutes late. Have hit so many stressors that I have topped the meter... and swumg all the way around to not giving a shit.

I walk into the interview with the calm aura of someone who's accepted that despite all efforts to the contrary, we are not always in control.

I walk out with an offer.

*headdesk* there's light at the end of the tunnel, and its not an oncoming train

Oluwa WIP

Name: Oluwakanyinsola Afolayan - goes by Oluwa
Species: Mami Wata
Age: 23 in Human years
Sex/Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality:
History: "Princess" Oluwa, like all of her Mami Wata siblings, is a child of the orisha Yemoja. But in additon to that, the orisha Olokun (in their male body) was her father. With divine parentage on both sides, she is elevated among her siblings. Princess is not an actual title, merely a nickname.

Her siblings are spread throughout the world; not only all over Africa, but South America, Latin America, the Carribean Islands, and the United States. Oluwa herself is from Nigeria. She was invited to come to Gloomminster by Professor Jacob Adebayo, a vampire scholar with various degrees of study and countless publications under his name. Professor Adebayo's obsession of the century is divination techniques, and while crystal balls, tarot cards, and runes have all been covered, so many more techniques remain.

Her parents, as well as her divine aunties and uncles, were quite wary of the invitation from overseas. Their memories are as ancient as the planet, and the British Empire's list of crimes is nearly as long. Still, Oluwa argued for the hope of making new connections to the modern magical world. After some argument, her family extended their blessings, and she left for England. She currently works as a research assistant in Gloomminster under Professor Adebayo's tutelage.

Where the Forest meets the Sea (1x1)

sorry it's super short. It took me a long time just to get that much out. >_< I am like.. wrung out mentally.

Where the Forest meets the Sea (1x1)

The feeling of being watched intensified greatly. But then, the water rippled, and there was a series of splashes as something surfaced from the water.

"You noticed me. You can't be human. I've been watching humans for years and they never see me." Chalakon leaned on a sizable boulder jutting out of the water, brown upper body dripping water. Curious blue eyes stared the elf down. "Hm. I thought you were human with funny ears, but no. Your senses actually work. What are you?"

Mean Streets of Steel City

@Omega Man True. But I will back off. Can't work out a character and my work life is about to go into nuclear meltdown.

@PerfectThought Hey, yes I am. I apologize for the delay. My husband was in the hospital (he is okay!) and we're kinda adjusting around some things.
