self-para: down the rabbit hole

The party is filled with too much frills and glamour, an easy way to disguise what the eye is not suppose to see. Victoria is much too used to the way of hiding the ugly truth with the beautiful lie.

When she had sent her reply for the invite back, she had already declined the drugs. It was a good thing too, seeing as she could smell the intoxication in the air, emitting from the pores of each party-goer she was bumping into in the middle of this forest party that was clearly a bad idea from the beginning.

There was an itch underneath her skin that tingled and it was only getting worse as the night progressed. 

Victoria looked around, in high heels a little too high for a midnight stroll in the forest and a dress that almost looked like a contrast between Alice in Wonderland and Slut of the Century. She doesn’t really care which one she is right now. She came here for a reason, and the reason was to observe. She assess and can tell only a couple of people were probably still alright, gingerly hiding their gazes with a throng of alcoholic drinks that were just as potent, but not with the effect of magic. 

In the end, though, it just feels like a party filled with a bunch of intoxicated teenagers needing a night to be wild.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have bothered coming out,” Victoria mutters to herself, sighing as she takes out a cigarette, ready to light the cancer stick resting between her lips when she hears the screams of ghosts in the vicinity.

Maybe it will be interesting after all.

the apple of eden

@cvjinah

It’s her third cigarette in an hour when Victoria realises that maybe it is the lack of food in her system since last night that is causing her to feel like the nicotine is barely giving her the kick that she needs to more relaxed and placated about the amount of idiots that roam the world, leaving her with the growing urge to want to snap off their necks one by one as if they were matchstick heads right beneath her fingertips.

A red hot heat that spreads in her belly in replacement to her appetite. She sighs. She knows she does not feel like she wants the food, but she knows that her body needs it to continue surviving. The little things about being a part of the human race that she wishes that she could ignore. Unfortunately, witchcraft has no solution for that and Victoria has no wish for immortality, preferring to savour the tang of iron and mortality on her tongue and red-coated lips like the Reaper that she has became.

Death reminds her of what she needs to do, immortality is just how life takes the hands off the clock until you forget what you really are and what you live for.

Her cigarette has burnt itself down to the filter when she picks up her phone and filters through her limited contacts, deciding that it might be a good day to be a little sociable and get some human interaction before she forgets her boundaries within the school. She knows that the Headmistress has a close eye on her for her after-school activities, even if she has taken the measures to ensure that it never traces back to her or the Academy as an agreement she had made before entering the school. Her eyes catch a name to a face that she has not seen in awhile.

Im Jinah

Preferring calls to text, she hits the call buttons, resting her phone against the crook of her neck and shoulder as she stubs out the filter and lights up another cigarette. 

Six rings before a click and the phone is picked up.

“Hey, Jinah. I was wondering if you were free and wouldn’t mind getting a bite with me?”

The Magician

The Magician - What aspect of your magic do you feel defines your practice?

That is a hard question for her to answer, mainly because she feels like it is not specific enough? Is it about her affinity to metal, the art of illusions that Victoria has learnt through her years in the form of honey turned into deceit? To amplify the voices inside your head until they are screaming and you just want them to stop. Or is it classes like ‘mental arts’ that she takes in order to make sure no one can ever chain her down in her life ever again, both physically and mentally.

Questions like these, Victoria thinks, should always be a little more specific for those who think about it a little too broadly like her.

intros

Hi! I’m Nao, the writer for Victoria. Just wanted to put this post out here to say that I’m open to anyone wanting to plot with me :) I’ll try messaging people too after I’m done with my finals in the next two days. 

Some basic into for everyone just in case it’s needed!

despite the murderous backstory /coughs/ vic knows who to kill and not to kill, and she does have a moral code so she won’t hurt anyone on campus unless it’s for self-defense or that person has a history of being abusive??? i hope that makes sense 

she’s the kind of person that does not have to like a person and their values to get along with them. the best people in life to her are the ones that can hold their own ground and don’t take any sort of crap from others

she has a soft spot for animals, they’re the only general fluffy things that she ever really lets invade her private space

occasionally, she does leave campus for dance performances if she feels up for it

she’s usually in solitude but wanders around campus quite a bit with a book or just doing her own thing so you can prod and have chitchat (she doesn’t bite in situations like these)

despite all this, she doesn’t really have that much of a competitive streak, and would rather lay low about being in the public eye 

Talk to her! I just find her more of a generally low key person for the most part, she just has more of a flair in her personality when it comes to the more violent parts of her life ahaha.

the little house on the hill

"There will be people who come into your life," her mother used to tell her. "Who will step into the house you have set up inside of yourself with smiling faces and delicate hands. And you, my dear child, my beautiful daughter, will let them in because you won’t know any better.”

Her mother tucks her hair behind her ears, gracing her with a smile that reminds Song Qian of the smell of wet grass and the rain she loved but was never allowed to run around in.

“You will let these people in, only to realise one day when you come back that they have left and your whole house is wrecked in a carnage of their destruction, which they will label as a testament of their ‘love’ for you.”

Her voice is so faint that the little girl that she is struggles to make sense of all the words that her mother utters. She wants to ask so many questions, like the reason why they would wreck apart a home that has done them no harm, who are these people, why would-

Victoria’s eyes open, squinting slightly under the bright rays of sunlight shining on her face as she lifts her head up from the cushion she had been leaning on. The little dream during her nap leaves a bittersweet aftertaste on her tongue that she is not particularly fond off, but she thanks her memory for reminding her of her mother’s words, a token of wisdom she did not realise that she would appreciate until much later in her life.

You’re right, mother. People did destroy the house I had built. But they did not have smiling faces and delicate hands. They were beasts, so I locked the doors and set them ablaze as I watched it all burn down to the ground. I wonder, would you be proud of me now? Or would you fear the monster that your own daughter has become?

Well, it was too late for her to turn back now. Not when she was having so much fun in this newfound world.

The bloodlust had became her new home and she was not about to leave it anytime soon.

judgement

Judgement - Are there any flaws you wish to change about yourself? What are they?

If changing the past were possible, Victoria wonders if she would be able to see herself in the future as someone a whole lot… Happier. If she would have led a life that would have made her mother proud. Married a nice man, settled in with a family of maybe two, three kids. Had a dance studio.

Instead, she lets herself be angry, and it is the anger that drives her, even if she knows that she could lead a life that is much different now that she has burned her demons into the ground.

Victoria wishes that sometimes, she could rid of the bodies that she hides underneath her bed to remind her that the world is a shitty place and it is a dog-eat-dog sort of reality. Maybe then, she would be able to find the peace that she is looking for. Maybe she would realise that the world really is not such a bad place as the men that she can still see when she closes her eyes at night. 

Other times, she just wants to burn the rest of the world down.

temperance.

Temperance - What is your biggest vice?

Despite the fact that she had tried her best to avoid the toxic side-effects of alcohol within her system, the erratic sleep schedule that her body would constantly put her through required quite a bit of caffeine to sustain. 

That, and a couple of cigarettes throughout the day. Cancer sticks between her fingers, between red lips and-

(Everyone wants the big secret, and never the little things, even if they are never a lie in the first place)

There is an itch to scratch, a need to sate the bloodlust that hums beneath Victoria’s skin like a million bees trying to break out of her flesh. 

Her biggest vice is what helps her sleep better at night, on the days when her days in the Academy are a lot less hectic and she takes a day or two out to roam the city. 

She always comes back with the biggest kind of smile.

hanged man!

The Hanged Man - What is your fatal flaw?

If Helen of Sparta had became the catalyst that had encouraged Paris to continue in his prophecy in the downfall of Troy, the whole situation could have been solved had Paris made a better decision between the gifts of the goddesses and chosen power for himself, instead of giving his heart to another. 

It is with that that Victoria prefers a life of solitude to companionship. There is nothing more compromising to a person that chooses to fall in love with another person or put their lives in their hands, flipping a coin on their fate and hoping for the best. 

The only person that Victoria has ever and will ever love is the mother she could never even give a proper burial to, the one who gave her the name that she must leave behind.

strength!

Strength - What aspect of yourself are you most proud of?

Victoria sees strength in the fine line between fear and respect. Knowledge. That there is nothing more powerful that someone who knows what they want and how to obtain it without ever having to compromise themselves. 

She knows she is still learning, but the strength that she sees within her is in the way she can still hold onto her pride in ways that others cannot. Victoria works hard for it, knowing that her honing her own physical capabilities are just as important as the lineage of witches that she comes from but will never know the names of. 

She will not hide like them. She will not stand idle and watch as people attempt to tear her apart. She will be the Queen of her own castle and swing the sword down on her own enemies if she has to, preferring the way that Death looks on her skin than any sort of diamond-encrusted crown. 

Life had always left her in ruins, but her determination is what has constantly brought her forward. And she is certainly not going to let anyone get in her way.
