cw: cannibalism kinda, underage sex jokes, brief nondescript ref to animal violence
Hiii everyone.
(Have an enthusiastic wave from a girl speaking in a perfected baby voice.)
My name's Jennifer Check and I'd like to put it out there that I'm now accepting human sacrifices. Sexual or otherwise.
(She smirks at her own joke, but really, she's starving.)
And I mean human specifically. I don't do that animal sacrifice bullshit. I'm not some psycho white boy who got turned down too many times by the pretty girl at school and who's weirdly obsessed with making Call of Duty half his personality.
(A big sweeping eyeroll. It's amazing how quick her voice went from Baby-Uwu to Frigid-Bitch. It's not a talent everyone could master, admittedly.)
Anyway. Is everyone around here a prude or something? I haven't seen any cleavage outside of my own in like a whole day. Holy shit. (...DRAMATIC REALIZATION...) Did I get kidnapped by the Amish...
(The last part is muttered to herself.)

#Standards.)
I don't really know what I am anymore. I wasn't always like this. It's a pretty recent development. I don't know much about it. (There's the slightest hint of genuine vulnerability in her tone, her mouth screwing up at the corner.) It's pretty weird. I got murdered by this boy band because they wanted to get famous with their shitty music, right? So they did this whole weird Satanic ritual. But then they messed up and now I'm like this.
(She waves to herself.) I wouldn't really call it a curse. When I feed, I'm extra hot. Like. Sublime. And I feel good. Powerful. Like I could do anything.
(How could feeling like that ever be a curse? She definitely, ironically, didn't consider herself much of a cannibal either. Eating boys didn't feel that different than eating a really good cheeseburger. Only cows were way cuter and she actually sometimes felt guilty thinking about eating cows.)
No. I didn't have friends before the diet thing. A lot of girls don't like hot girls because they get weirdly intimidated. (.....) Also I've slept with a lot of girls' boyfriends. But I'd just like to say that if their boyfriend was willing to cheat on them then maybe it was for the best that they realized they were dating a scumbag. I'm practically doing a service to the community when you think about it.
(What else did she do-.)
And I don't make friends with boys. It's a waste of time.
(She couldn't name one dude who was Worth Half a Fuck.
Her gaze grows distant and she closes her hand protectively around her necklace.)
I had a really good friend. We had a falling out. (AKA her best friend killed her. So!)
Yeah, you. Upgrade you to something a bit cuter.
yup, this is the kind of girl you're dealing with
That was, of course, because there were way more pressing things to be worried about].
Oh. That sounds vaguely vampiric. At least, what I know about them from Claudia and books. So it's like...who was that one queen who was said to bathe in the blood of virgins and stuff. But I think I see your point in what you're saying.
[Huh. Actually, the more she talked, she WOULD say Succubi, but a more, well, socially aware one? It was really hard to put a finger to it since people like this tended to make fun of her. What was more, it was strange that Luz was understanding what she was talking about even if it was something she'd never do ].
Guess that means I'd have to go to you! All I live with right now are with boys, although one of them is grass and one is a fishboy, so I guess that makes things way more interesting! I wouldn't say it's a waste. Me, I see a lot of really interesting people here so far, boys AND girls.
[Luz might have inadvertently sounded like she was saying something else, which was technically true but not what she meant].
Sorry to hear that. I don't like losing any of my friends, honestly.
Are you implying I wasn't already cute?
she's Perfect
It somehow doesn't surprise her the girl is being this good about it. And at the same time, it's immeasurably comforting. Girls always understood things like this. Even when Needy had been freaked out, Needy had still been concerned, had wanted to help too. Granted, it was naive as all hell, but still.)
Ew. I'm so sorry for you. I'm shacking up alone. And with this owl that keeps following me everywhere. (She tips the camera around a bit so that the owl in question could be shown. The owl was just chilling on the headboard of her bed.)
Boys always want something from you. Even if they are interesting, it's usually just used against you. (Which, considering she was literally murdered by an indie band she had been obsessed with? Yeah. There's a little edge there in her voice.)
Your boy friends probably wouldn't think twice about letting some dude make a shitty joke about you behind your back. (She really needs to meet some decent guys. She already has, but just doesn't realize it yet.)
No one does. (...) But thanks, I guess.
(Now she grins.)
I did say cute-r which implies there was cuteness to begin with. I'm just saying it could be enhanced with the right outfit.
Re: she's Perfect
[Because once word got out, chances were anyone mutilated were going to blame this girl anyway. Luz had seen enough media to know that if someone seemed guilty, that was enough to swarm and accuse this girl. She could defend herself but...well, she could already tell her personality was going to get into conflicts with others already.
Boy, I wonder if I should find a way to get her to feed without hurting anyone. How could that even work?
Oh, it's not bad. They're close to my age, and their like older brothers. Older brothers that happen to be dating. Wait that sounds-ok, ok! So, like, in my eyes they're older siblings, but really they have no relation so they can date, it's not weird! Ok, it's different, because Fern's grass, but that's it!
[She lived in a really, really diverse household]
Aw, what a cute owl! That's probably your omen! Mine is a wolf, but the palisman I have is an owl too! Maybe they'll get along!
I mean, these guys and I all have a shared living space. They don't need anything from me, but I do clean up around the house. I think they get REALLY into their own headspace and they'd, like, live with their stuff all over the place. It's messy, but otherwise they're great people. Luca is still adjusting. Fishkid and all.
Um, nah. Varian would get that scary look on his face when someone says something he doesn't like and get threatening. Fern wouldn't let them talk without taking a swipe at them. Like I said, MY brothers.
[She was pretty proud of them, to be honest].
Sure. At least here it's easier to make new ones, trust me.
Cuter than my otter outfit?! Surely you jest!
cw: slight homophobic-sounding sentiment, but not actually
(That...kind of changes the tune. Something in Jennifer seems to relax mildly. She hadn't realized she had started to clench up at the idea of a girl living alone with a bunch of boys. A group of boys was rarely a safe place to be.)
I guess that's different. (Luz is right though. But really, Jennifer was at least used to accusations. She hadn't been lying when she said she was socially isolated and cast aside because of her own attitude problems. She was good at playing the guilty party. She always had something to be guilty about.)
One of them is grass? (It should be weird. Maybe it would have been a few months ago. But after everything she's gone through and the whole squid thing, she feels like she'd be the dumb one for being shocked.)
How do you screw grass? (The important things to ask about, clearly.
She looks over at the owl and smiles. She actually really did like animals. With her new abilities, they seemed to like her just as much back.)
I'm calling her Lilith. An omen? Is that why I keep seeing people with animals everywhere? (She holds up a hand to Luz as if to say 'wait.') What the hell's a palisman?
(Jennifer hums lowly, not entirely confident that there was nothing to be worried about. Maybe not in the sexual way she had anticipated originally, but guys could be - a lot. Without even knowing it.)
Well, whatever, if you ever need to get away from the testosterone train you can hang out with me. (Please do. She's agonizingly lonely.)
Ummm yeah, girl. Cuter than that - oh shit. What's your name?
Re: cw: slight homophobic-sounding sentiment, but not actually
[In order to live with all of them, Luz knew and cared for them all. That was probably the only way Luz was living with all of them to begin with].
It is, trust me. Fern's grass, yeah, long story.
[She turned red] N-no idea, and definitely not something I want to think about!
[Luz is a cinnamon roll, and you pretty much just asked her to imagine her brother figures doing that.
Oh, that's a good name! I'm surprised she didn't tell you hers though. Yeah, I think we all get one, and it's supposed to resemble something about us.
[There was still a lot she didn't understand there].
A Palisman is from my world, or a place you can reach there anyway. In that world, witches can carve this special wood and create these animals that are your trusted companions. They even help you do magic!
[She gestured to the wand]. This one's my teacher Eda's. She left it behind when she woke up.
[A painful memory, but she's at least been able to slowly come to terms with it].
Trust me, I DO have girl friends too. Now I get to count you as one.
[Luz raised her eyebrow].
You think? This I gotta see. I'm Luz, Luz Noceda.

How old are you?
(The blush makes Jennifer burst out with a laugh.) Oh, man, you're a prude too?
(Granted, that actually meant nothing at all. RIP Luz. Jennifer had merciless "humor" if you could even call it that.)
Well, Lilith seems right? (Jennifer actually looks at her owl as if to see if she agrees. The owl bows its head in silent agreement.) See? I like, looked at her and thought, oh, you're a Lilith.
(Which maybe was some weird psychological connection. She reaches back out to stroke a finger down the owl's back. Her expression grew soft.)
Resembles us, huh. (Her omen was so effortlessly beautiful though. Jennifer had put so much effort into her own. She lingers on it a bit too long. She withdraws her hand from the owl and looks back to the camera.)
So does that mean you're magical?
(Logical step to take.
Ooh.
Oh.
Huh. That. Definitely makes Jennifer feel a kind of way. She feels something sharp and burning in her chest and her mouth purses into a thin line.)
Who says I want to be your friend? (She snaps it out. There's something agonizing about the idea of someone wanting to be her friend, wanting to know any part of her. She was good at the mean girl thing. And God...She didn't want to have another Needy. She could still feel that box cutter.
She hates that she's scared to be cared for now.)
no subject
[She understood what the girl was saying, she just wasn't sure if it really applied to them].
14, going on 15. I don't...really think of that stuff? I haven't even dated anyone, and for the past month I've been sort of ducking out of monsters grasps and stuff. So, you know, it's more accurate to say that I've been keeping other things in mind.
[In other words, just surviving and not having a breakdown was Luz's preoccupation. It wasn't just that she was a cinnamon roll: she was trying very, VERY hard to stay that way].
It's your omen, maybe you giving her the name gave it power. Still not sure how all of that works.
Yeah, or our mental state maybe? Mine wasn't a wolf before, but now it is. It's because of someone I knew back then, so it changed.
You could say that. It's a little complicated, but I can do magic!
[Whoa, wait. what happened there? Luz was taken aback. She thought they WERE being friendly. Had she misread the situation?
Why was she so bad at this]?
I...thought you did?
