Louise Glück, “October”

[therevivalists-blog1]

MARION SINCLAIR is summoned when the For Sale sign is taken down and the moving trucks roll in. Homemade pie in hand, a frozen half-smile as she coos her welcome to the neighborhood. Her gaze bores through. She’s not on your doorstep to make small talk; she is here to take inventory.

But me— I feel I’m ghost and gristle both.

You don’t go to the Trip Trap for the ambiance. You go because you have nowhere better to be.

I’m requesting two familiar faces from the Trip Trap bar in Fabletown. Ever since the Adversary forced them to abandon the Homelands, they’ve been close friends with Grendel. He fights for them, sometimes with them. They can usually forget their differences over the span of a few hours and a round of shots. Just about everything about them is open, including their faces. Feel free to message me and discuss. I would be thrilled to see them in play! HOLLY is the spitfire owner of the Trip Trap. When she fled to Fabletown, the troll sold everything she had to afford her human glamour and bar. A shrewd businesswoman, she’s more fortunate than most fables fighting to stay out of the Farm. Her regulars are close to her heart, which doesn’t have room for much else ever since she and her sister Lily stopped talking. THE WOODSMAN is a tragic hero. He won’t let anyone forget it, or how he saved Little Red Riding Hood from the Big Bad Wolf. Woody is less forthcoming about how he had been scheming to rob Red’s grandmother before accidental heroism found him first. A violent man, he’s fallen on hard times and struggles to support himself with his brawn and outdated fame.

ALIAS: Zara

AGE: 27

PRONOUNS: She/her/hers

FAVORITE FAIRYTALE/FABLE: Hansel and Gretel. Kids, candy, and cannibalism! Also, shout out to Beowulf. I can appreciate that story so much more now that I’m no longer writing papers about it.

FAVORITE TV SHOW/MOVIE: Archer and Orange is the New Black. I don’t watch many movies anymore and am pretty disappointed in Quentin Tarantino right now, but Kill Bill will always have a special place in my heart.
