Perseus: Caught in the Light

 

 

After a hiatus from the hobby for about a year, it seems Perseus is the doll to draw me back in again.  His new face-up has inspired me to take photos of him; it feels like I've fallen in love with him all over again. Like the rest of my little resin tribe, he is now an example of the best of my work after 7 years of pracice, rather than being one of my first.

Perseus Renewed

I've owned Perseus for 6 years now - it was his anniversary last month - and had never updated his face-up since I first did it back in April 2006. As I had to redo Marius' face-up anyway (I had him in my arms when I had a seizure in the street a couple of months ago and his nose got chipped, neccessitating some careful sanding and reshaping), I figured I might as well redo Perseus.

I'd been putting it off as, whilst my face-up skills are far superior these days, I was still nervous of wiping his old, familiar and very much loved face and not being able to make him Perseus. But whilst the new look isn't quite the same, it's undoubtedly him, thankfully!

Lazy Sunday

Marius seemed to be rather reluctant to leave the comfort of his bed this morning!










He wasn't the only one, it seems; Perseus always sappears to be startled by the morning:


And Myrddin is always such a deep sleeper, it can be hard to tell if he's dreaming or dead:


But both Perseus and Myrddin enjoy a sleepy cuddle in bed on a lazy Sunday morning.

Photostory: "You cannot sleep!" (Perseus [CP Vampire Breakaway 05], Satin [CP Elf Chiwoo])

A few hours later:




I must have fallen asleep. Not clever, Kynaston Dane; not clever at
all - we could both have frozen to death out here. Hmm. Snow seems
deeper now, too.... Oh dear Gods, Perseus! Is he...?



Hmm. Hard to tell. Do vampires have pulses? ... wait, I feel something.
I think he's alive. He seems to be breathing, thanks be! But he can't stay sleeping here....


Satin: "Perseus... Perseus! You have to wake up! It's not safe for you to sleep
here like this; you're going to freeze to death!"
Perseus: *drowsily* "But I'm already dead...."


Satin: "No, you're not - but you will be if you stay out here much longer!
Come on, you can't sleep now - you have to get up!"


Perseus: "...Satin? Where... where are we? I was dreaming...."
Satin: "I don't know; we're lost somewhere. how are you feeling?
Perseus: "Frozen."


Satin: "Unsurprising; you were unconscious in the snow for hours.
We both were. Can you sit up?"
Perseus: "I think so... oh... I feel so weak and cold...."


Perseus: *moans* "Ohhh... so cold it hurts.... Satin, vampires
can't tolerate the cold for long. We go into hibernation... we
can die. It is only the blood of living things which keeps us
warm and sustains us."
Satin: "Here, take my coat, you need it more than I right now.
Blood, you say?"


Satin: "Your skin is like ice, and I can feel your heart slowing
down. You need blood.... Perseus, take mine. I have enough to
share, and I heal fast."
Perseus: "No... no, I can't... if I drink from you, you will not be
able to fight off the cold. You would risk hypothermia and worse. I
cannot allow that - not even to save my own life...."
Satin: "But without it you will die!"
Perseus: "Better that one should die and the other live, than for
both to perish - and you could not spare enough, my friend, believe
me. I refuse to be your death."


Satin: "But...."
Perseus: "Enough, Satin. I haven't the strength to argue this
further. We must pray that aid comes soon."

Satin: Yes, we must pray.... Hold on, Perseus! Let help come soon! Surely someone must come...?


To be continued....

Lost In The Snow

Satin: "I don't think I recognise this place... Perseus, are you sure we came this way?"
Perseus: "I'm not sure... I...."


Satin: "Perseus? Are you alright?"
Perseus: "I feel so cold... weak...."
Satin: "Perseus!"


Perseus: *faintly* "...so... tired...."
Satin: "Perseus! Can you hear me? Answer me!"
Perseus: "...."


Satin: He's unconscious, or near to. It's getting dark... "Hello? Anyone there? We need help!"
Perseus: *murmuring* "Si froid... je suis si froid...aidez-moi...."


It's getting colder. He'll die if we stay out here. We both will.


Satin: "Anyone out there? Help us! Someone... anyone!!"


So cold and dark....

TBC, perhaps?
