Here’s Circe in her cape, as promised!

Also, that’s the explanation on why Violet didn’t really care when she got shot by Katrina – she basically went into a sort of trance and just knocked her down. She’s basically a bezerker from viking times: She goes into some sort of rage – trance, and loses all sense of self preservation, fear, and pain. Since she couldn’t really feel pain, getting shot by a crossbow didn’t really faze her. The steps of her losing it goes like this:

1. She starts super calm and quiet for around 3-5 seconds
2. After 3-5 seconds, she suddenly turns ferocious, and charges headlong at the nearest person who she is attacking
3. Wails on whatever target is nearest her until it (or she) dies.
4. When all targets appear to no longer be a threat (e.g. deader than dead), she turns super calm again.
5. She starts crying uncontrollably for around ten seconds.
6. After those 10 seconds are up, she passes out.
7. She wakes up around 10 minutes later, with no memory of what she did.

Because of this whole “uncontrollable rage” thing, she’s not really the safest person to be around, especially because her temper is on a hair trigger, and she can turn angry in less than the blink of an eye.

In my real life’s news, I got my wisdom teeth taken out on Monday. It’s not that bad, but apparently mine weren’t “impacted”, which means that they’re not laying on their side. Still kinda hurts. However, it’s a great excuse to eat those “popsicles” that are basically colored sugar water in a plastic tube. They actually help.
