What vibes Magnus Archives characters give me.
Jon Sims - A librarian who comments on the book you're checking out both positively and negatively, and can somehow guess whether you're going to love it with just a look.
Martin Blackwood - An overly friendly waiter who is lovely but makes it a bit hard to eat because they stop by to ask how everything's going every five seconds while your mouth is full of food.
Tim Stoker - The most intense relationship you've ever had, the high's make you feel something no else can, the low's also make you feel something no else can. You aren't sure if this is the best or worst relationship you ever had, but it was beautiful and doomed and gentle and fleeting all at the same time.
Sasha James - Talking to a friend, not knowing factually it'll be the last time you speak, but knowing subconsciously that it'll be the last time you speak because the vibes have changed.
Melanie King - Dying your hair at 3AM because you "need a change," then spending on long on it that you end up watching the sunrise. (And not even liking how your hair turned out.
Georgie Barker - Walking through the woods and jokingly saying to your friends "Look out for bigfoot!" They all stop and look also in on the joke, but there's a small childlike piece excitement that hopes that maybe, just maybe this outing will turn into a cryptid spotting.
Basira Hussain - Sitting in a dentist office, that's as sterile as all dentist office's, but has some art on the walls. A dentist call you back with a rushed tone and cleans your teeth with intense efficiency, they don't even small talk before finishing up and ushering you out with a nice goody bag.
Daisy Tonner - Kudzu. These plants that are invasive where I live, yet they grow the fastest and are often the first to spring out. They reason it's invasive is because it smothers the local vegetation and damages buildings. Despite that It's pretty to see, but that doesn't change that it's aggressive and invasive to the local ecosystem.
Peter Lukas - Reading a book with a book light during a power outage, in a storm. You're trying to enjoy it but lighting keeps shaking your house and the walls are creaking.
Elias Bouchard - An internship position where the boss will give you the workload of someone's worked there for twenty years and is paid much better than you are.
Gertrude Robinson - Going into your parents photo album and finding a picture of them doing something cool in their 20's and being like "who the fuck is that?"
Gerry Keay - A stranger at a gas station who asks if you have a cigarette, then nods you off without another word when you say you don't.
Hezekiah Wakely - Finding worms as a child under a play set.
Jane Prentiss - That itchy feeling after being in a garage
Agnes Montague - An ancestor that you look like but will never get the chance to meet.
Jude Perry - Going into a tattoo shop and the artist saying "I don't give prices up front and I want full creative control over my work."
Oliver Banks - Sitting on a pier on a cloudy day.
Jared Hopworth - Planet Fitness's cancellation policies.
Distortion Michael - A friend you fell out with that you don't think about, but they still sometimes vague post about you on social media.
Distortion Helen - A passive aggressive family member who clearly doesn't like you but feels like they have to talk to you because you're family.
Nikola Orsinov - That one episode of a cartoon you watched as a kid that was so scary it stayed with you forever.
Michael Crew - Those storm nights where a tornado hits a town, then get put under a tornado warning right afterwards.
Simon Fairchild - Meeting a stranger in public who drops their insane lore out of nowhere then walks off, never to be seen by you again.
Anabelle Cane - A moment that you can't remember if it actually happened. Maybe it did, but maybe you saw it in a movie, or dreamed it, or even have deju vu for something never happened at all. The brain is weird that way.
