Reanimation (Partial) -/- Regret [Email]

"And that voice I have loved for twenty years answered: “Some of him.”"

So, we have our first "talker" read by Norris.

Dolls (Watching)

Probably an unimportant statement, given it wasn't a talker, but anything that gives insight to the tagging system is welcome.

Infection (full body) -/- arboreal [journal entry]

“parasitic-garden-that-whispers-with-the-voice-of-the-woman-he-clearly-murderd-and-sort-of-turns-you-into-a-tree” yes, that is murdered spelled incorrectly, yes that is directly from the script

From what I understand, it appears Dr. Samuel Webber murdered his ex-wife because she'd moved on! still has the same surname but she has moved out. So yeah, this guys NOT okay, then he decides to get scratched up in a garden!

Said garden is "growing wild around the ruins of some bombed-out church." that smells of "an almost overwhelming sickly-sweet rot", and he keeps smelling jasmine.

One of my notes for this episode is "gradual acceptance, embraced end"

my favourite part of this statement, a part that really cements the Strangeness and Acceptance (man really said If i'm gonna become Tree i'm gonna Do It Right);

"my skin is pulling away nicely like blanched tomatoes. My legs will be nonresponsive soon. I need to finalise my position before then ... The roots have freed themselves from the weight of my meat as it sags from my bones and drops to the dirt."

directly followed by

"No greenfly or other parasites. I remain quite healthy."

Transformation (full) -/- dysmorphic [video call]

"a pristine paintbrush design spanned from the interior of my elbow to the inside of my palm, a flurry of colorful floral patterns entwined with symbols I didn't recognize."

Daria's issues with her self-image + being an artist = The artist becomes the canvas, thanks Ink5oul!

Sounds like the tattooing process was INCREDIBLY painful, but there's no aftercare required! That's okay, more time for self-mutilation that way!

Transformation (eyes) -/- Trespass [chat log]

"Canaries should stay above ground."
