" You can't get rid of me!" The abomination in the mirror yelled to Henry, who had his back to it and didn't dare to look at it, he was disgusted with what was there. Henry heard a deep chuckle behind him," Scared of my now, Henry? Who am I kidding, of course you are, after all, you are the man who didn't have the guts to face his problems or his urges and left them to little old m-" the abomination was cut off as the mirror was shattered to pieces, and the thrown candelabra fell to the floor.
Henry stood there, his chest heaving with anger, he finally pulled himself from the slight daze he was in and walked to the multiple pieces of the shattered mirror strewn about the floor, he picked a piece up, held it to his face and gazed at his reflection, his once green eyes now an intense amethyst like purple colour looked back at him, his eyebrows furrowed. He dropped the mirror in confusion, tripped over his own feet and fell to the floor, where he crawled into a ball and began sobbing.
Why can't he get rid of this burden?
I said Saracen, which honestly could be happening since when I asked a question about him when I met Derek for the release of Hell Breaks Loose, Derek didn't answer and instead said we will find out later. I want Saracen to come back, but I'm scared how
since ghastly's back now, anyone could be back, technically.

The amazing Jackie Trade!!
I feel like I haven't done her the justice she deserves, she's giving China Sorrows a run for her money (and collections.)
I'm bored at the moment with exams and stuff, so I wanted to info dump on my Skulduggery Pleasent OC Alister.
Helped his family in the circus business, normally subbing in for a trapeze artist during a show.
Was drafted into WW2 before France was occupied while his family was stopped in Paris, he joined at age 20. He met the Major of his squad, Thompson, a Scottish male who had fought in the past in WW1. Thompson was fond of Alister and his stories of France, so they grew a bond with eachother.
Alister got his surge during the war, seeing and hearing things. Seeing the last moment of a soldier before they died, feeling immeasurable amounts of fear and hate. Then he heard the voices, some speaking in other languages he wouldnt of known before, pleading to be let go. Alister had an odd habit of collecting bullet cases and shells, so when he took them, he was inadvertently taking the soul of whoever fell victim to it.
During a long trek to a nearby camp, Alister collapsed due to pain and exhaustion, but his squad could no longer be hindered, so they had no choice but to leave him there. This is the first instance of Alister using his ability, as while he was lying there, excepting his fate, one of the souls of a dead soldier took control, and Alister's body steadily changed to match that of the deceased. The soldier weak, and barely holding onto control, hobbled to a nearby village to get help.
This is info dump No. 1, I just don't want it to be too long
I apologise I was gone for a wh-... oh, is everything alright here? Other William, are you ok?
Yes, he is, I just felt like taking a rest, was feeling a bit sick.
Ok, well I got some painkillers, here, should help a mall bit. Look, other William, my William, God this is weird, is not feeling well so I might have to cut the interaction short. Again, I apologise for the inconvenience.
But then that leaves you with a choice, would you like to return back to your blog, or would you be up for a talk with the last candidate?
Ahhh. Those were some good cartons of ice cream. I’m ready to get back to chatting with your roommates, @atlas539. I’ll rest here on this couch until you’re ready.
Hm. It’s sagging a bit, but I guess that’s to be expected…
Well, I wish I looked that young, I always thought I looked like I was getting close to 60! It just might be the lighting I suppose. But I am way older than I look, heck, compared to me your actual age is seen as young! I'm around... well, I was there during the Wild West and just before America was found so, I would say I'm around 565 years old.
Are you alright? You look a bit suprised?
Well @willynillynonsense , Quincy should be here in a sec, he's just getting out of his work uniform so, I'll leave you be.
...
Hi, I'm sorry if I didn't make any noise coming in, still on work mode, William isn't it? It's nice to meet you, Atlas has told me so much about you. They also probably told you my name but, what's wrong with a proper introduction, my name is Quincy O' Callahan.
@welcome-to-roomba-fazbender
I meant to say maybe!! He just seems like the type of guy to just not be bothered with it, honestly.
