This week's update is from Fir. Guess having all that power isn't all that great... something I've always personally figured was true. Why be forced to be responsible for so many people? You can't do what you want that way.

You can read the full entry at:

I'd be her pen pal if I totally could! I'd love to gossip with her.

'“I do not have the strength to fight for myself. But if allowing myself to be someone else’s pawn means protecting you, then a pawn I shall be.” -Spica, in an unsent letter addressed to Jasmine

Introducing Spica. Jasmine’s childhood friend, and His Eternal Warmth’s newest Undying Ember.'

OMG 😳 i realized there are sooo many illustrations I haven't posted here... sooooo sorry aimi! i'm so embarrassed...

anyways, here's a portrait of spica, Fir's protege. i LOVE her style. i never thought purple, orange, and red could look good together, but she really pulled it off.

“She’s a real piece of work, if you ask me. Patronizing, egotistical, stubborn, and rash. Thinks she knows better than everyone else! Did you know she was an assassin before she was the Flame-Feeder?” -Nico

Introducing Fir, His Eternal Warmth’s seventh Flame-Feeder. Leads the Undying Embers as His Eternal Warmth’s voice and will amongst His people.

Isn't she so cool? I really wish I could have met her...

Check her art out on the site here: berelyse.org/archives/650/

Hello, everyone. Today's update has some very... personal significance, to a certain member of the Institute. (-:

I asked them what they thought of it. They said it was like hearing someone speak of their past life. Interesting, indeed.

The link is here. What do you think?

Usually I update the site at the very end of my workday. But since I'm busy after work today, this time I'm updating first thing in the morning.

You know the drill. Excerpt here, link below.

Now time for a coffee...

This week's update is a short one, but it's one I personally like. I have never really been able to relate to Jasmine. Sometimes I struggle to empathize with her given what she's like.

But this entry... it really makes me feel for her.

Here's the link to the update. -Ellsyx

[berelyse]

This week's update is a recreation of one of Spica's letters. We don't have many in the earlier portions of the exhibit, but she wrote often, and we are incredibly grateful for all we have later on!

An excerpt is included here, as is the site link. berelyse.org/archives/563/

Hello, all! This week's update to the site is an exciting one. Not only is this week's entry longer than many that came before, it's the first true introduction of one of the major figures of our exhibition: Nico.

I have more to say, but first: attached here is an excerpt.

Everyone here at BICI has been anxiously awaiting this update. Even our Benefactor is waiting for it to go live, We also have accompanying art by another contributing artist and friend of BICI, Victoria! Be sure to click 'Next Entry' to see her art as well! (-:

On behalf of the entire staff, I sincerely hope you enjoy. In my opinion, Nico is truly one of the most fascinating figures whose story I have ever encountered. I wonder if you all will think the same.

Here is the link.
