We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.

Returning
I years had been from home, And now, before the door, I dared not open, lest a face I never saw before Stare vacant into mine And ask my business there.
My business, — just a life I left, Was such still dwelling there? I fumbled at my nerve, I scanned the windows near; The silence like an ocean rolled, And broke against my ear. by Emily Dickinson

Case files 12.01
what I think happened in:
Case 12.01, the case of "Stag Hunter" or "Mr. Bonzo's toothy maw"
We need to talk about Gwen.
Full name Gwendolyn Bouchard, child of a rich family, strangely fixated on making career at OIAR of all places.
On 9th of January, after several years of exemplary if a bit slow work, she looked her boss dead in the eye and stated she wanted her job.
On 29th of January she received an email with a video of attempted murder (Lena on Klaus gun violence).
On 12th of February, after doing some additional research, she confronted Lena with the video. She assumed that Lena's superiors* wouldn't be happy to know that the 'murder' was a failed one. She let it be known that her source (singular) confirms that said mysterious superiors believe Klaus to be dead. As payment for her silence, she demanded to be let in on whatever extra operations were going on here. Lena graciously 'promoted' her to "Externals Liaison."
On Friday (March 8) Gwen received her first 'assignment' – to deliver an envelope to one Nigel Dickerson and 'any companion' of his that might be present. (So, glorified postal service).
On Saturday, (March 9) she got to meet her first 'External'. She was NOT prepared for the experience. She handed off the envelope as instructed. It got chewed in teeth that weren't soft. Mr. Bonzo the External lumbered away into the night, while somewhat shaken Gwen returned home.
Let's take a break from Gwen for a moment, to meet Ms. Jordan Bennett (age: early 20s). She's acquired bartending skills in 2020, and got hired at "Soho Jack's" strip-club in spring of 2021. Her employment there ended rather abruptly on Saturday night, 9th of March 2024. On that fateful night she was tending bar in a private suite on the third floor, where a Bachelor party was in full swing. The party consisted of (presumably) former high-school or college sports team, now in their 30s/40s, celebrating upcoming nuptials of their bud, Baz (full name unknown). (For now).
The chain of events was thus:
Somebody(/something?) planted a box of Bonzo merchandise among the presents for the groom.
Baz the Groom, a faithful Bonzo-fanboy, delightedly asked for the planted CD to be played.
Bonzo's theme-song started playing from the room speakers, and continued to play, getting louder, even after Jordan turned off the CD-player and disconnected the cables. (Later on it not only got louder, but also changed – from 'he wants to stay' in kids' voices to 'he's here to stay' in… different voices).
Summoned signalled by the music, Mr. Bonzo killed the bouncer guarding the room, and entered.
The party-guys did not notice the fresh body and were happy to see their favourite monster TV-mascot.
Mr. Bonzo somehow realized that the bartender did notice the body, and shushed her with a finger to his mouth.
Still unaware of danger, the guys found it hilarious when Bonzo picked up the groom by the arms and twirled him around like a toddler. They didn't even notice when
Bonzo ripped the man's arms right off. They did notice when Jordan screamed, and Bonzo tore Baz's head apart, and then pulverized and ate his body.
After that the guys tried to attack, without any real effect, aside from a trickle of some kind of stinking liquid from a cut (if it bleeds… can we kill it?).
After obliterating the groom Bonzo struck a playful pose, unfolded his mouth into a bigger, toothier maw and proceeded to bite chunks out of remaining people. Those who survived all lost something (Jordan's hand being the smallest loss). Those who didn't make it were devoured whole.
Notably, it seems that none of the people in the room tried to leave it, and none of the crashes, screams, nor the loud distorted music, were noticed by anyone outside the room; the security cameras weren't working either.
After the fact the club got sued for recompense by Jordan (and possibly other survivors and families of the deceased) and tried to get their insurance to cover it. Their claim was denied as fraudulent.
With that bit of unpleasantness out of the way, let's go back to OIAR.
On Monday, March 11, a very disgruntled Gwen confronted Lena again, this time about the nature of her assignment. Lena cheerfully advised her that screaming is good for the soul, that externals may be grotesque, but are valued assets, and that sleep is important. Also that Gwen should have already figured out whose name was in the envelope she'd delivered.
On Wednesday, March 13, Gwen's caseload included a graphic description of events of last Saturday at Soho Jack’s. She had… some kind of reaction, before Alice cut it off with a 'joke.' (btw, Alice's jokes sound more and more like 'shut up about stuff that can get us killed you idiot!')
There's a lot to unpack here, and I'm not sure if I want to touch most of it.
WHOSE name was in the envelope and why? At one point I considered a theory that the intended target was actually the Bartender (not to be killed, but maimed and traumatized), but as she wasn't the only survivor, just the 'luckiest' one, and she was way too young and poor to be Gwen's associate, I have to go back to option nr 1: The groom. Bonzo did zero-in on him upon entry, and only after completely removing him from this world did he change to more casual look and leisurely eating mode. (Work before play; at least he has good work ethics?) (No! Kill it with fire!) So. Why did 'Baz' have to die? Lena expected Gwen to know. Originally I was sure it was Colin or Alice, who both know too much. Since it's not them, the only thing that comes to mind is the 'source' who told Gwen that Klaus is believed to be dead. If a scary shady spooky government branch learned that they had a leak, they absolutely would plug it with excessive force and no consideration for collateral damage. Imagine you're Gwen, and you had a friend tell you something as a favour, and then you listen to a tale of how that friend got eaten by a creature you personally sent after him. 😬 Slightly more fucked up though less likely option: the 'source' was actually the bride-not-to-be. The Stag Night Massacre was a punishment and warning for both her and Gwen.
*Who actually are Lena's masters superiors? The ministerial prick who keeps nagging Colin about the app just… doesn't sound like someone who'd order a supernatural hit on someone. I have some thoughts, but they're too muddy to articulate just yet, so I'm moving on to:
Bonzo music. What is up with that? Nigel turned it on to call Bonzo to the door, and at the club he didn't come into the room until it was playing. Is the music just a way to get his attention, or is it like his Manchurian Candidate trigger phrase, turning him from Mr. Bonzo to Bonzo Butcher? Or is it just … part of Bonzo himself? It was getting more distorted and unsettling just as Bonzo was getting more monstrous in action and appearance. What was the cause and what was the effect here? Or: the music had to play, because it was the music that kept people from trying to run, and kept other people (and cameras) from noticing what was going on in there. So many options, so little certainty. :(
Gwen is now an accessory to murder, most likely of somebody she knew. I wonder what she's gonna do with that knowledge. Will she double down on "I can do it and I'm cool with it actually", or will she try to opt-out? (it's too late, but she could try…)
Unrelated: if at any point we meet a very angry young woman sans one hand, I'm doing the DiCaprio me

Hello! The last time I was actually on tumblr was in 2018. Unfortunately, I've returned. Does anyone wanna catch me up on etiquette? or is this place still as lawless as I remember?

Hey All!
It's Certa! I've decided to start from scratch completely, so I took down my original Tumblr in order for me to feel good about starting over.
I've saved the accounts of people I followed on said account, so please do not be alarmed if you see me suddenly following you (again), haha 😅
-------
To re-introduce myself, I'm a 2D Digital Artist that specializes in Character Design and World-Building, as well as a soon-to-be University Graduate that goes by she/her pronouns! My specialties contribute to the fact that I have hundreds of OCs (that all... need re-designing...); most of my OCs are actually Fan Characters, but I do have Original Characters for one main series that I'm working on called (Un)Natural Selection.
[I'm still thinking of reworking that world completely, as there are many negative memories associated with the creation of that series and I want to move away from it as much as possible (while still acknowledging that the way it came to light wasn't the best it could be), but I still want to keep the essence and the systems implemented in how that world works.]
That being said, most of my characters exist as some extension of the Fire Emblem and Cookie Run series. I used to be a big player + fan of Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, but fell off after personal situations during May 2023; however, seeing as I have existing Genshin FCs in the works, I still plan on re-designing them as well.
I am ALSO a big fan of any and all ships (except the toxic and highly problematic ones, of course): OC + OC, Canon/Canon, OC/Canon (which is a majority of my current shippings and involves many Next Generation FCs), Rarepairs, you name it. Do note that I will NOT tolerate any hateful and/or oppressive behavior, especially concerning OCs and OC/Canon ships specifically. If you have nothing to say, kindly scroll on or even block me, I harbor no offense if you do.
[Also would like to point out that I ship some FE ships that are not considered "popular" within some of its fanbases, with some of them being straight ships; again, please no hate of any kind regarding this, or you will be hit with a block without warning. Like I said, any and all ships are welcome and should apply to everyone.]
Lastly, I have my Asks open, but no Anonymous Asks; an anonymous ask was one of the main reasons as to why I closed my old Tumblr account, so I'd rather people reach out to me "in-person". Unless you're someone I know who was involved in past conflicts, I am happily open to answer your DMs!
