Memory

Kioku is not her real name—she knows this.

Kioku is a delicately sloped veil and eighteen shades of eyes.

Kioku is a violent need for freedom from control.

‘Kioku’ is not a name, not a real name, and several of the understandings in more implicit parts of her Self believe this is rather fitting.

Somewhere, there is a beautiful death; a butterfly and a lacy thwap on a windshield.

Photo by ~TheBestiolaAttacks and editing by *zimiel, from a concept shoot she and I did last weekend. Words by me.

This shoot was originally going to be some kind of fashion-centred generic lolita picnic thing...but then Shona wanted a knife and I turned the knife into many thousands of words of character profile and plot...and we ended up with less photos of our pretty skirts and more photos of us drugging and killing each other and eating cupcakes ;D

It did make a good excuse to spend my morning baking super-pretty cupcakes :-P

Many thanks to =Floatyman and ~TheBestiolaAttacks for coming and taking photos of our crazy idea; you guys are awesome.
