NO SUCH PLACE




No Such Place

The global pandemic is what started it all. First, it was disease. People were dropping like flies. Then, came the war. Everyone blaming each other. Then, came the famine — whole world lain to waste. It was as if the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse showed up themselves. The world was over, or so it seemed. Now, it must begin again. We must rebuild. This is our beginning. Our corner of paradise, and we call it Elysium.

Sunday: February 3, 2008 [26 Jul 2009|06:15pm]
Who: Irei and Dorian
When: Afternoon
Where: Starting at his bungalow, then continuing in the marketplace: the gift shop and the tailor's
What: Time for a haircut.

Irei stared at himself in the mirror. He turned his head and looked at the heavy braid he had pulled his hair into. First it was pulled into a ponytail, and then he had braided the hair down the length. It had been this way since Halloween when he had used a potion to make it grow for the costume he wore. He hadn't done much to it aside from trim it during the winter months, but now he was getting sick of it. There was too much work to be done to keep it up.

He picked up the knife he had received as a gift from one of the first friends he had made in Elysium. He pulled it open and looked at the shining silver of the blade. He had used it once before when killing a few of the harpies that had attacked the town. It had been cleaned since then and looked new again, like it hadn't seen a drop of blood at all.

"Time for a change."

Reaching behind his back and grabbing the middle of the braid, Irei used the knife to saw off the majority of his hair. He held what now looked like a tail in his hand and looked down at it. The edges of his hair looked ragged and unkempt. He took a pair of scissors and evened out the edges of his hair. He would have to wait to get a proper haircut.

Irei left the bungalow and headed out toward town. )
