My Familiar’s Ghost part 19
Masterpost
(ID in alt and under cut)
ID: 1a. Ghost Guillermo and the Nadja doll are sitting together on a small ottoman, Guillermo mostly floating and slumped over with his chin in one hand, looking despondent. Gaze on the ground, he asks, "How do you stand it?" Dolly, focusing on poking a wire into what looks like a bird's leg, responds, "Stand what?" Guillermo: "Being...this." Dolly: "You do a lot of complaining for someone who's only been dead a month or two. 500 years on, I'm having a blast." 1b. Guillermo lifts his head and turns to look at her, hope nudging at the edge of his expression. He asks, "So you're saying it gets easier?" Dolly, cut off below the nose by the panel, keeps her gaze on her work as she replies "I'm saying you're a big wet pussy not cut out for eternity as a wandering spirit."
2a. Shift to profile view, Dolly still cut off below the nose as she works. Guillermo turns away from her and crosses his arms, frustrated, snapping "Easy for you to say, with your body looking out for you." Dolly replies easily, "Maybe. Or maybe it's because we are standing different things entirely." 2b. Close up on Guillermo as he turns to look over at her, confused. "What?" There is a blue glow, deeper and gentler than Guillermo's, pulsing from the lower corner of the screen. Dolly starts, "Whatever you are..."
3. Zoom out to full body as Nadja's ghost suddenly rises out of the doll and takes form, the doll slumping down in her seat below. Nadja's ghost looks very different from Guillermo, more like from the show. She is wearing her old dress and veil, her hair in twin braids, and is fully translucent and various shades of deep blue, gentle wisps of light floating and fading around her form as her lower half twists itself from the doll. She looms over Guillermo with a solemn expression and cups his face in her see-through hands, continuing, "We are not the same." Guillermo stares up at her in shock, arms frozen in front of his chest as they pull out of their cross. Behind him, the black shadow looms in the form of a tattered cloak, as if it had always been there and is just now being illuminated by Nadja's ghostly light.
4a. Reverse shot as Nadja pops into view around a wall on Dolly's other side. She has her hair up in a pile and is wearing a long rubber apron flecked with blood and yellow rubber gloves that are equally gorey. She grins and holds up a dripping hand, calling, "Agapoúla mou! Are those feet ready? I have finished skinning the pigeons!" There is a rush of blue vapor in the foreground as Nadja's ghost quickly repossesses the doll. Dolly perks up with a smile and holds out two bird legs now speared with wire, replying, "All wired up!" 4b. Reverse shot of Guillermo on a black background snaked with ominous blue vapor, looking stricken as he stares after Dolly. Offscreen, Dolly says "I even cheered Guillermo up!" Nadja coos, "Oh look at you, my wonderful little helper!" /end ID

The Macas Mammal is the name of an unidentified taxidermied animal that had been discovered in a small shop in Macas, Ecuador. It had been discovered by a Spanish Cryptozoologist Angel Morant Forés. He attempted to purchase the animal several times, but the shop’s owner refused to sell it. Ecuadorian biologist Didier Sanchez successfully purchased the specimen in 1999 but nothing was announced about an identification.
Forés described the creature as being 35 to 40 centimeters long. It had a proboscis-like snout and webbed feet. Though it had been proposed to be a water opossum, it has no pouch which cancels out that theory. Forés learned from locals that the creatures are common in local rivers. He sent photos to five separate scientists. One believed it to be a water opossum, but four others believed it may be a species unknown to science.

rise and shine - open
"Do you think that because we're like, an island - that shipping costs as international?" Myria questioned - looking up at the other from the top of her laptop's screen, brows furrowed with a slight curiosity. The drink aside her was - the biggest cup they could offer her, and topped with an immeasurable amount of whipped cream. "I really only ship my Furever Pals across the island, but like - everyone should be able to have their own taxidermy pet, right? I want to like - set up an official Etsy for it. I already have names picked out for them! Like they're real art pieces!"

“ah, come on,” cian needled, “it’s good luck!” he dangled the snow white rabbit’s foot in front of his companion. it was damn fine work, if he could say so himself; capped with seamless pewter and adorned with a little chain he’d spun by hand, so it could be attached to a key ring or a belt loop. he’d even run a thin white ribbon through the chain links. soft as a cloud and pretty as a picture, and he couldn’t understand why anyone might not want to carry a limb around. “you telling me you’re in a position to turn down good luck?”

MENTIONS OF PREMATURE BIRTH, CHILD NEGLECT, CAR ACCIDENT, DEATH, ALCOHOLISM, TAXIDERMY, AND DEAD ANIMALS.

full name: myria 'noi' saengkaew.
birthday: july 13th, 1993.
astrology: cancer sun, taurus moon, leo ascending.
sexuality: bisexual.
currently listening to: timefighter by lucy dacus.
last known location: [[[cannot be found]]]
PINTEREST.
brief history.
premature birth; born prematurely on a day considered extremely unlucky, to a pair of parents who were not only household celebrity names in thailand, but deeply superstitious and spiritual people at that.
child neglect; from there on, myria was considered the unlucky one. the one whose bad luck follows. she's so sure that her parents didn't mean to ignore her in favor for her siblings, but they did, regardless. myria's other two siblings became classic nepo babies, riding off of the success of their parents and finding their own fame - and myria stayed in the background.
every time she tried to branch out like them, it only wound up in mysterious accidents on set. as a child, she overcompensated by picking up hobbies left and right, trying to master them all but always falling short.
eventually myria came to marina one summer, thinking it's a regular vacation at her family's home they've had on the island for generations - but she didn't leave with her family when they did. instead, she was left with a nanny and a bodyguard and an enrollment in the local school.
her family rarely visited, and rarely paid her any mind when she came to them, so eventually myria stopped altogether. when she was 18, she decided to travel the states.
car accident / death; stopped in LA and falls in love with a up-and-coming film director there. they make it to a year before a car accident takes their life and leaves myria all alone again.
came back to marina after that, feeling defeated. took a few years to herself before eventually going to mortuary school & becoming the local mortician. took up a few taxidermy classes as well, but she's still a bit amateur at it.
facts & temperaments.
her family calls her noi, because she was born so tiny, and was considerably frail for the majority of her childhood. the nickname stuck afterwards, but it's more of a demeaning mark than anything.
the most cheerful person you've ever seen. is usually smiling, and talking a mile a minute - laughs everything off, and tries her hardest not to take anything to heart. gives pieces of herself away at a whim if it's going to help someone else.
refuses to badmouth her family, even though they've only hurt her. has a Complex about it.
is usually in a short term relationship, or a situationship, or some kind of fling that doesn't last longer than a few weeks to a few months. is bad with longterm commitment, because it scares her. but she loves love and loves to give it.
attachment issues central! very clingy. and loyal to a fault. only sees the good in people, and leads life through rose-tinted lens.
chronic oversharer. is an open book unless it comes to her deep emotions, which she keeps bottled up on the inside so tightly.
is probably only a few dents away from having a complete meltdown but its okay. has a lot of inner insecurities and doesn't really think positive about herself. thinks she really is just a beacon of bad luck, which is why she's okay to let people go when they pull away. is just. sad on the inside.
alcoholism; partier and is usually always seen out and about. a high functioning alcoholic who hides it very well.
hates being alone and will often wake up in other's beds, or vice versa. has decorated her room at the mansion entirely in glow in the dark stars and glass light-catchers.
lives life in an array of colors. is never wearing black, only clashing patterns and colors. is a maximalist to an extreme.
taxidermy / dead animals; has an etsy shop where she sells taxidermy animals, mostly rodents like rats, and has them dressed up and posed in different 'series'. they're called furever pals / furever friends.
