Memeage

[awanderingbard]

Give me a character that I write or have written and I will tell you either what they look like under Harry's Sight or what a soulgaze with them would be like. Specify which one you prefer, or I'll choose. Either way is fine with me.

For the uninitiated, both concepts come from Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series. Sight or Third Eye shows people's true forms, usually in a metaphorical fashion and a soulgaze shows what that person's soul looks like, with their past, present and possible futures and innermost essences on view, unable to hide anything, usually only in a metaphorical fashion.

It doesn't need to be a supernatural character, but characters with some background and/or a decent amount of screentime are preferred so I can make some guesses as to what their essences are. Any of my OCS are welcome, too.

Soulgaze with Forrester!

And may I yoink this meme?

Will come back when I have some time to ponder out Forrester's soul, but in the meantime, do please yoink if you are so inclined.

Forrester's soul looks like a long hospital corridor, with various doors leading off of it. Passing by them, you can glimpse into various places that mean something to him. The doors all have signs slotted into the holder next to them, telling you where they lead to. There are two marked 'Home', the first is parenthesized as 'Hexham', which has the kitchen of his childhood home in it. It smells like proper British food. The other, marked 'Chicago', has the den of his house there in it. It smells like Samara's perfume. In both places, there are numerous family pictures on the walls.

Farther down the corridor is 'Work', which is his office at the hospital. It smells like blood and antiseptic, but in a way suggesting this is a good thing. 'School' is nearby, which has his dorm room in it. It smells like teenage boys in a way suggesting this is NOT a good thing. 'Uni' leads to a lecture hall at King's College Hospital, which smells like chalk and textbooks.

There is a door marked 'Pub', which, unsurprisingly, both looks and smells like a pub. In a good way. It appears to be both in Chicago and London simultaneously, perhaps because the two places remind him of the other.

'Morgue' leads to Cook County's morgue. It's the only room with people in it and they are all patients he's lost. It smells like formaldehyde.

At the very end of a hallway is a door marked 'Magic'. It's pretty dark in there and gives off the sensation that it hasn't been entered often. It smells like scary things and the unknown.

Awww, this is LOVELY. All organized and smart and clever and all the places where he was happy. Also I lol'ed at the contrast between work and school. The sense of smell in this is palpable and very unusual for a soulgaze description but in a good way.

Aww, thanks! I thought I remembered that each wizard experiences soulgazes differently and that Ramirez heard music instead of seeing images, so I thought I'd mess around with the different senses. Smell is a very defining factor in if I like something or not, so I handed that on to Forrester. Thanks for the prompt! I'm still slightly mystified and very chuffed that you like him so much. :D

Pretty much because he's fab and I sort of want to hug him forever? He's like the weird bastard child of House and Wilson with a little bit of John Watson thrown in and quite a bit of his own awesomeness that he created himself. So.

Thanks for saying such lovely things! I'm sitting here grinning and very pleased with myself. :p *huggles you*
