Where Did I Leave Those Long Sleeves?
It's a bit chilly here today, and over-cast... It's starting to rain... But after the long summer dryness and the heat-from-hell we were suffering under a few weeks ago, I'm not going to complain. It feels good.
Anyway, on to today's Faceless image.
Day 2 - Muse
If you're curious to know whose girly-white hands those are, or why this picture is titled the way it is... Extra images and details are, as usual, under the cut.
The hands belong to Blackbird (CP Elf Yder)...
... and Autumn (CP Nanuri '07 mod girl)
They're two of the four members of my quasi-Iron Age/SciFi "First House" cast... The alien Founder and his packhunter-Lineaged chimera caretaker.
That silver orb that Autumn is holding is called a Muse. It's an artificially intelligent, self-aware machine. Often used as a familiar of sorts, it's one of Blackbird's more other-worldly tools. The chimera, who have no sophisticated technology of their own, regard it as a living thing.
No matter how many times Blackbird tries to explain to Autumn and the others that a Muse is no more "alive" than a knife or a grinding stone, they never seem to accept it. To them, the Muse will always be "powerful magic".
