Killjoy Alias: Baby Berzerker

A very bad picture, but a picture nonetheless of my Killjoy cosplay (in progress!) of Baby Berzerker. M0re info and pictures to come. :)

The Haunted Vessel: A new friend?

In one of my recent posts I alluded to some paranormal activity that's been going on in my house lately. That has continued to increase, leading me to believe that we've got a "friend" visiting. This is actually a pretty common occurrence in my life, so while I'm not thrilled I'm also not that upset.

For the most part this friend is relatively harmless, sticking to the stereotypical loud footsteps and occasional flashes of presence that ghosts are so famous for. We had a slight issue with him bothering my dog, and one episode of room trashing, but after a little talk things have gone back to normal.

When it comes to the dolls however, the entity seems perfectly happy to avoid them at all costs. Initially I was having issues with it coming into my room at night, and I would have to actively get up and "usher" it out. Both annoying and time consuming, so I decided to try something a little different instead. I put Nowell by the door and Uriel on the other side of the bed, and since then the entity won't even come close to my door.

This also seems to work when I'm in other rooms as well, so I've taken to carrying one of the boys with me when I don't want to be bothered. I knew this was generally the case with Uri as he has this sort of "no nonsense" vibe around him when it comes to spirits. He's bigger and badder, so don't even bother. :P However this is a new development for Nowell, and it's interesting.

*Insert witty and appropriate title here*

Back from a week-long streak of really bad luck. My poor puppy hurt himself, my car broke down, my computer cord sparked, and a half gallon of milk exploded in my car. :( However we're doing good now and there's a lot more to come soon!

And the resident clothes whore wins again. :P

I swear that Uri has a better wardrobe than me sometimes. The new shirts from Diverse designs arrived this weekend, and he looks fantastic as usual. We also have a few more shirts coming from a custom order on DoA. Of course there's also the Vocaloid commission which I'm so psyched about! The seamstress I commissioned is spectacular, and I can't wait to see what she does with this. :)

Tonight we're doing a Star Wars marathon, and of course Uri gives me *that look.* The look which says, "Please make me some Jedi robes?" I actually have some fabric in the closet that would be perfect, so he may just get his wish. I am rather powerless to resist a man in Jedi robes after all. ;)

Granted I will admit that Uri would probably not be a Jedi were he in the Star Wars universe, Dark Side and all... However, I'm taking a little artistic license and doing it anyway.

The Haunted Vessel: Uriel

Uriel the Magnanimous strikes again. :0

I've been seeing a lot more activity* around my house lately for whatever reason, be it the changing season or the current emotional climate. I've had more doll-related experiences all around, and Uri is no exception.

Last night I got home after having gone to obedience class with my pup and running quite a few errands. I ran upstairs to grab some things for the dog before taking him on a walk, and saw Uri sitting on my bed. I'd left him there that morning propped up against the pillow with both arms tucked into each other (essentially crossed). I grabbed the dog items and glanced at Uri again before leaving.

After taking the dog for a walk and getting rather soggy in the process, I ran back upstairs for a change of clothes. There was Uri on my bed, but instead of looking the same he was positioned differently. Both arms were outstretched and his hands turned as if he was saying "No wait, take me!"

Given Uri's stringing, this wasn't something he could have fallen into. If anything due to how tightly he is strung, his arms would snap back into a folded position. But these were outstretched, barely bent at the joint. I am the only one in the house now, so threre was no one who could have moved him. I of course felt chastized and took Uri down to watch TV with me. :P

*For the sake of clarification, "activity" in these posts will always refer to supernatural activity. I dont' want you to think I mean hiking or biking or something. :)

Update

I've been having a busy, somewhat frustrating but ultimately satisfying doll week;

• Re-did Nowell's face up, but it took me at least eight tries. Seal, remove. Seal, remove. Seal...
• I also ordered Nowell a new fur wig because it's been a while since we changed his look up.
• Uri is getting a bunch of new clothes as usual. :P I ordered him his usual Diverse Designs order (some t-shirts), and I've got a commission in for a Kagamine Len outfit for him. Uri is most definitely not Len, but I like the juxtaposition and he does have a blond wig. Plus the boy will wear anything, I might as well take advantage of it!
• Dresden is still in-progress as we hit a small setback with some of his outfit. I was supposed to do a split but the other person couldn't do it yet, so I'll be waiting a bit for that. He'll be finished eventually, but even unfinished he looks pretty cool. :)
