For a lands of magic challenge I did birthday lists for 3 fictional characters. Here are Sherlock Holmes, Bertie Wooster, and Carmilla.

1. A really interesting case.
2. Two seats at a concert heavy on the Mendelssohn so that Watson will resist the temptation to fall asleep—and snore!
3. A pouch of whatever it was he smoked that one time in Kathmandu while he was ‘dead.’
4. A new tablecloth to replace the one of Mrs. Hudson’s which now has chemical burns.
5. If #1 is not available, a new bottle of cocaine.

1. An aunt radar, with two alarms, one for when there is nearing a Good and Deserving Aunt and a second for when an Aunt who Eat Broken Bottles and Wear Barbed Wire Next to the Skin is approaching.
2. A shield to deflect incoming dinner rolls at The Drones.
3. A very, very rare species of newt so that Gussie Fink-Nottle will become famous in newt-loving circles and name it woosterus newterus.
4. Beazel repellent, so that members of the delicately nurtured with matrimonial designs or favours to request or blackmail to perform will take their nefarious schemes to parties other than Betram.
5. The return of a gentleman’s gentleman from his two-week holiday, bronzed and fit, and ready to sling the y. m. out of the soup.

1. Blood. Lots of it. Fresh. Human.
2. Laura
3. A set of earplugs good for muffling out peasant funereal wailing
4. An anagram dictionary to help when it’s time to pick a new name.
5. A new statue for the crypt, and if it resembles Laura’s heaving bosom, well, so much the better.

The final installments. A big thank you to

singedsun for sponsoring the challenge!

Miss Marple [from Agatha Christie] and 3. my own gender/cisswapped menstrual-blood-drinking vampire Sherlock Holmes from my Cup Runneth Over series. I will put clean it up and put it on AO3.

My #4 Prompts

You have learned much about yourself. Take some time to reflect.

THE TOWER
You seek out conversation with someone. Who do you reach out to? What do you want to discuss?

THE HERMIT
You realize you are crying. Why?

THE HIGH PRIESTESS
You decide to seek company. How do you go about this?

ACT 5 --
Your past my shape your experiences, your thoughts, your desires, but it does not define you. You are in control of your own path. The road ahead may be built from the stones that you've gathered, but these fragments of your past do not dictate where it leads. It is time to move forward.

Choose one of the Major Arcana to represent your present self. Do not draw from the deck. Choose freely among the card. You are in charge of your own identity.

Who are you? What do you do next?

The Major Arcana I picked for my three characters were: 1. The Tower 2. The World 3. The Magician

( Fills 4 & 5 )

I just realized that the audiobook version of Carmilla, which is a 1872 novella about a vampire, which I like is narrated by the same actress who played Anne of Green Gables when I was a child (Megan Follows). It makes me wonder about ol' Anne and her 'bosom friend' Diana. :) For the unfamiliar, Carmilla sinks her fangs in Laura's bosom and drinks from her. Anyway, she has a lovely voice. Canadian, by the way.
