Infected Rain em Portugal

Infected Rain em Portugal

Os moldavos Infected Rain vão estar em Portugal, mais concretamente, em Lisboa, no RCA Club no dia 5 de julho. A banda encontra-se a promover o seu álbum “Ecdysis” lançado em janeiro deste ano. Os nacionais Hórus “abrirão as hostilidades” apresentado o recém-editado “Broken Bounds”.

Have I mentioned how much I like the "The Ecdysis Club/An Ecdysiast's Parable" pun in Cultist Simulator?

Ecdysis is the process of an arthropod shedding its exoskeleton as it grows. An ecdysiast is a professional stripper.

By switching the two words around, and naming the cabaret after shedding your skin but the moth lore after the strip tease, the writers conflate their meanings. So the dancers shed their skins in an act of transformation, empowered¹. And it is the adepts seeking power who invoke the arthropod in moth lore, which presumably strips itself bare for the consumption of outsiders².

You see this is literally the case, if you play the dancer route

As with all things in the Wood, it is unclear if this consumption would be metaphorical

[nyctodromist]

i wish cultist simulator was more well-known sometimes for a myriad of reasons but rn it's because i think the "they should be at the club" meme that's going around would really benefit from people knowing what the ecdysis club is. some of us and some of our blorbos should be at the ecdysis club specifically

Woohoo enlightenment victory

My third victory (Lantern/Enlightenment).

In this run I decided to see what would happen if I started a different Cult lore from the Ascension path that I was doing. My cult was heart. Which was interesting since I had propaganda power on one hand and easy lore access on the other (So far I've found that Lantern lore is easier to obtain than Forge or Grail).

This will be my last run for awhile (I've left my followers with 130 funds, 20+ Bronze Spinctra, and 30+ Silver Spinctra. They'll be alright). I'll be saving money for the Dancer DLC (Cause I want to be a dancer in the Ecdysis Club - a location I've strangely haven't been going into much except for the last part when I'm desperately looking for Dread to be able to summon the Hint behind the mirrors).

one (1) fan statement for you...

"Unraveling Desires," a statement from Renira [last name lost] regarding an establishment known as 'the Ecdysis Club' and its proprietress. (Cultist Simulator)

[leggypuppy]

A Thunderskin-related reading, perhaps? As a person with chronic fatigue, I can't help but admire the aspect of the heart.

You have called on the Thunderskin and his answer will never cease

Collision

Mrs E's Assistance/Nine of Pentacles reversed & The Thunderskin/The Emperor reversed

There is a school of thought, popular amongst the amateur and the academic occultist alike, that complexity signifies power. The more elaborate the calligraphy, the rarer the bird or beast dissassembled to be read or woven or burnt, the greater the lengths to which the participent goes when finding new and creative means of moral transgression- the more effort, in other words, the greater the reward. It stands to reason, after all. It's only fair.

The Heart Relentless knows this not to be the case. What is wanting is precision.

Take a watch, long stopped, and place it on a surface you do not wish to remain unmarked. Raise a hammer above your head, count one beat, and let it fall. Muffle the walls in velvet if you like, but that is more for the sake of yourself, or your neighbours. Don't worry though. He will hear you.

Union

The Diarist/Knight of Swords & Lord Franklin Bancroft: Diaries/Four of Swords

It doesn't feel right, does it, for it to be this easy? The pop of glass, a showering of gears. And yet this is what you struck; a blow to crack the world's skull, and the world will keep on dancing in its place.

Your bare feet are slick and bloodied with the steps you have been taking since the Velvet first answered the question of the Glory and took all who will not burn for the sake of some divided flame under, under the earth, under her protection, and this blood beats its tattoo on taut and shining muscle forever in its contraction, a gift from the Mother, in out, in out, in out, and this is how he will taste you. He can do nothing more. Not for now.

But you are welcomed into the dance with no pretence to anything else. Be sure not to linger on the threshold of this invitation long. The one who marks division has no love for the sacrifice that will not die. She never truly got her recompence, and she is waiting.

Division

A Particular Arrangement At The Ecdysis Club/Four of Wands reversed & The Sun-in-Rags/The Hanged Man

There is a stillness that cannot belong to the White. This is what you have learned, stripped and skinned and shaped into that form which will best preserve you. It lives between the hammer and the blow, in the mouth which has shaped a cry and not yet set it free. A stillness of pause, not End.

These are the spaces that allow you to continue. A sacrifice, a suspension so that everything else may come after. Moments of nothing making room for a growing something. No, your union cannot last beyond a moment before you fall apart again, but you are falling to rise, rising to join, joining to fall apart and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and

Sulochana Amavasya - She can be found in London, where she runs the Ecdysis Club with an eye for occult talent.

Echidna - She resides at the edge of the desert, in whatever shape she finds preferable at the time.

Marinette - She hunts through Eastern Europe, as bloodthirsty as the Grail she serves.

Klêidouchos - She has been enjoying Vienna for some time now, a pillar of that particular crossroad of the histories.

Medusa - She is the reason that every statue in Budapest has its eyes closed, stealing through the night like a hunter.

Morgen - she docks at any port that draws her attention, bringing all the gifts of the sea, but especially the lethal ones.

Rowena - [EXPUNGE]

Four items away from completing my first draft of this royal blood hack, each item being part of one of the Ligeia Club descriptions. I'm also thinking about rearranging a few of the cards as they're currently assigned (Three to each alukite, a danger, a protection, and an influence). The Malachite, the Mensicate, and the Twins are being as much trouble to write as ever, but I still leave the Grail for last. So close / so close. And then to format it and test!

Mixer - Delinquent Dami x Paladin Reader - Paladin Highschool AU

Dami wasn’t typical company you kept, but when King skips class you’re forced into her orbit and boy is it intoxicating.

For Your Eyes Only - Yoohyeon x Reader - Soulmate AU

Minutes Before, - Heejin x Reader - Mech/Sci-fi AU

Part one of two If this was the limits of your relationship, it’d be a fine capstone. A gift wrought not by your own hands.

[vaguelyhotandwhat]

hi jolene baby <3 what antics have you been up to

oh you know velcro, right now im just mindlessly browsing asos to see if anything cute exists but nothing is giving what it needs to so i probably gotta get the sewing machine out again :/

and like, idk the dnd thing that guy invited me to is going to happen next week so we'll see how that goes but you know, just a lot of the usual! Dancing at the bars for a lil coin when i show my ass, scaring the fuck out of catcallers when i chase after them, and a lot of losing in mario kart bc im terrible at it. I swear the girlies in this house cheat or something, idk how but i can feel it.

Oh! I did like.... i don't wanna say sacrifice this guy at the ecdysis club but like...I did in fact do that. Like, I was doing a rare solo number there bc you know, i don't get many gigs there and they love a group number but they asked me specifically and the pay is really good so of course I did it.

ANYWAY, I come out fully painted in a tiny lil sparkly dress dancing all hot and slow making sure the dress moves well with me and in the middle of the number I go over to this guys table leaning over it so he can see basically everything you know vaguely flirting with him without saying anything as I move around the table and go to kiss him then pull back then before we connect and walk to the stage again looking smug because of i do.

And clearly I did something right because after like... 5 seconds he stands up and comes towards me, making sure he was right next to me on the stage where everyone can see, so of course I move closer to him. I dance around him and go to kiss him again and as the music gets to the climax I take a lil sacrificial knife from my pantie and jam it into his lung i wanna say? So he falls to the ground right on his ass, looking aghast as I dance around with this bloody dagger getting a lil on the patrons who are going wild clapping as it ends and i'm kinda gagged because I got a couple gifts after too! Nothing too crazy but like none of it looks cheap.

though you know, poor guy must have been the only one not in the know because none of those bitches in the audience looked remotely surprised and the fat cheque for that was delicious. The blood on the knife wasn't too bad either. So, like highly recommend!

but other than that i've been pretty boring <3

[saschacant]

Hello! I came across the cultsim meme you created and found it very intriguing. May I have your permission to translate it into Chinese and post it on Lofter (a fan community website)? I will make sure to credit the original post and the author.

You absolutely may. I always knew I would be an international celebrity...

To answer your other question, btw, Sulo is 'fuck the police' because one of the outcomes of visiting the Ecdysis Club in normal play is the Suppression Bureau raiding it and kicking everyone out for the evening. People also often use her to talk about their cards that would turn into notoriety (i.e. Corpse) so that they stay fresh and the police don't come after you. There's also the whole her being an immortal, shapeshifting baby eater and the mistress of an occult dance club. I don't think she gets on with the authorities, personally. She ignored the 'don't commit the crime of the sky' rule from the Hours themselves so I'm sure she has no issue with fucking the police. Grail moment, too. She's all for that.

Hiii ! How are you? 💜

hi anon! i'm doing well thank you for asking!

A Special Performance at the Ecdysis Club

That's what the posters boast, plastered around just the right spots of the Capital to catch the eyes of both occultists and socialites. "A siren from across the seas," some elaborate, though an exact name or face is never used. Perhaps to build up excitement, perhaps to keep the Bureau from pursuing a quarry. Likely both.

20/06 Nightclub “Ecdysis”

Though less flashy than No Truce and smaller then even Nekton, Ecdysis still seems to be enjoying a healthy nightlife amongst the destruction of the colony. The immediate impression made upon entering the club is one of wall-to-wall deafening noise. It is far too loud to communicate with one another here without resorting to private helmet comms.

Additionally, it is difficult to even see amongst the strobe lighting, which is the only lighting available, the pulsing turning even the experience of moving through the space into a badly animated stop-motion dance. To counteract the deafening music, many of the club goers wear corded headsets, cancelling out some of the noise in accordance with the specific needs of the wearer.

The strange analog wires for the headsets disappear into the high rafters, giving the impression of the club being filled with simple marionettes. The overall effect is disorientating in the extreme; a [sanity check] is required for every time the dance-floor is crossed, just to prevent getting lost.

There are myriad others moving through the club with purpose; between knots of dancers are small groups exchanging items or making deals. They turn hostile stares to anyone watching them; Ecdysis is a place for privacy amongst oblivion - anyone interrupting either better have a very good reason.
