In terms of theory and experiences? Yes, I think she absolutely would. No two people are going to have the same experience with it, nor are they going to use it the same, and learning that I think she'd find pretty useful (even if she still maintains she will never use it herself). To her credit and her detriment, Altherei is deeply curious, and while there's the general horror of a massive family secret involving Void to contend with, she can't deny she really wants to know more about the House, what happened, and how they made use of it. She intends to do that research on her own, and may be looking into some expeditions (which she'd gladly bring folks along on for safety/company).

In terms of 'help me practice these skills myself'? Absolutely not. She's still far too afraid of losing her mind to get near even the most minute, baby shadow spells. She knows that once that door is open, it can never be closed, and even if she's far more mentally disciplined than she gives herself credit for.. Void is a very different beast from arcane, astral, fire, etc. The magics she uses right now don't whisper to her and tell her all sorts of things. They just exist. And while she knows Void is a primal force like Light, it absolutely behaves in a fundamentally different way to what she's used to, and something that can take over her mind if she slips in control of it is genuinely terrifying to her.

Got a new tattoo yesterday. My leg is swollen and hurts a little but it already looks superb.

I’ve already seen BMTH and Røry and will be going to Slam Dunk in May (Palaye, Waterparks, FFAF, LS Dunes) then there’s IDKHOW in June and Sleep Token in Nov.

On my wish list is Loveless who will be at Leeds in Aug, so if I can swing that then I can die happy.

The Father of Bats continued to remain settled in his metallic throne. Nine fingers came together as he hunched in thought. Crimson lanterns in the darkness traced to the left, giving it some thought. The simple answer was yes, but the matter of details is where things tended to get a bit messy. Some who would much appreciate not having it mentioned.

" That term has always brought a sense of irritation in me, dear. So, excuse me if I seem disgruntled at first glance. " This much was true. In his earlier years of undeath, he had that term spat at him like a venomous curse. A curse that while it may have been fact, he never fully viewed himself to be of the same caliber due to his own complicated developments over the last years.

" There are a few that I have come across, yes yes. Some who are the living embodiment of their legend or tale. Others who are far more detailed and no longer possess the same flavor. " He finally managed to move in animation rather than settling like a gargoyle statue. In this action, he reached under the desk and sat a bottle upon his desk. A bottle of none other than an original Bloodbrew Bloodwine. " I have befriended and acquainted myself with those that do not wish to be as power hungry as wily warlock. Much like any creature, there are those that wish to only coexist with the world they were reborn into. And fine example is the Bloodbrew family. " And then, something within Duraxxor came to mind. As quick as it came, his smile turned even more upward, bearing a hint of teeth. " Perhaps I owe them a true visit. After all, I am sure they would enjoy sinking their teeth into the idea of one of their old customers speaking amongst them in their endeavors. "
