<hr />
<div>Rykilde is the official hobbit and resident witch of 10 Hyde Park Avenue. As such her herb collection is rather interesting.<br />
<br />
She also has a tendency to addictive behavior.<br />
<br />
[[Rykilde's Addictions]]<br />
<br />
And sometimes she puts things here about herself.<br />
<br />
[[Rykilde's Journal]]<br />
<br />
[[Rykilde's Album]]<br />
<br />
Rykilde thinks she has some talent at drawing and writing, for some reason.<br />
<br />
[[Rykilde's Art and Writing]]<br />
<br />
Sometimes she cooks and tries not to poison us all.<br />
<br />
[[Rykilde's Recipes!]]<br />
<br />
If you want to be a dear and acquire something for the resident hobbit, she has made this wishlist for your convenience &dagger;.<br />
<br />
[[Rykilde's Wish List]]<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
&dagger; <small>Also because she needed to scrabble together some form of wish list. It was that or be deluged with garden gnomes and socks. &Dagger;<br><br />
&Dagger; Not that she doesn't like garden gnomes and socks. She does, and it's obvious that she does, so without alternate inspiration for her friends she may be buried in them to an embarassing degree.</small></div>Rykilde//wiki.utter-chaos.net/ucwiki/index.php?title=Rykilde%27s_VillainsRykilde's Villains2009-01-06T05:24:26Z<p>Rykilde: so much more editing needed...</p>

<hr />
<div>The hobbit has quite a few addictions. The most numerous ones are those related to computers.<br />
<br />
===Games===<br />
[http://www.cityofheroes.com/ City of Heroes] and [http://www.cityofvillains.com/ City of Villains.] - Because <i>everyone</i> plays fantasy-themed MMORPGs. And, dude. <i>Superheroes.</i><br><br />
*Here are [[Rykilde's Heroes]]<br />
*And here are [[Rykilde's Villains]]<br />
*Brain-dump of stuff about [[Heroic Supergroup]].<br />
*[http://www.geocities.com/timsandwell/omud.html ShadowMUD] -Gone... but... Yeah.<br><br />
[http://mythicaljourneys.com/ Mythical Journeys]<br><br />
===Webspaces===<br />
[http://www.witchvox.com/ Witchvox]<br><br />
[http://xforums.net/ib/index.php xForums] - Definitely dead.<br><br />
[http://zetachannel.com/ Zeta Channel] - Son of xForums! Aaaagh! Well, it's better than xForums vs The Wolfman...<br><br />
[http://www.quantummuse.com/ Quantum Muse]<br><br />
[http://tattercoat.deviantart.com/ deviantArt] - My own site there.<br><br />
[http://gofugyourself.typepad.com/ Go Fug Yourself] - Bitchy celebrity-insulting with a side of fashion. Zesty!<br><br />
===News===<br />
[http://theonion.com/ The Onion] - Mmmmm, the sweet smell of satire.<br><br />
[http://www.thestranger.com/current/ The Stranger]<br><br />
[http://www.salon.com/ Salon] - Good online news, and I like the Broadsheet blog.<br><br />
===Blogification===<br />
[http://pockethedgehog.livejournal.com/ My LJ] and [http://www.xanga.com/tattercoat my Xanga]. Recently a friend got me to create a MySpace account, but until I actually DO anything with it besides put snarky quasi-misinformation in my profile, it's not important.<br><br />
===Miscellaneous Things===<br />
*BOOKS! Books and more books. At last count I have over 600. There's probably a lot more now, since I last counted in high school. I've given some away but I've bought a lot more. 600 seems...so puny, so there's probably a lot more. Someday I'll make a listing of what I have...just to scare people, of course. I know what I have, in that if you ask me if I have it I can tell you yes or no and where it is. I also know what I want in that I have a mental list of books I am always on the lookout for in stores, used stores, thrift stores, yardsales, etc... I do patronize libraries, but I prefer to own books. I prefer hardcovers for reading, paperbacks for my wallet (and storage, as they tend to be of uniform height). I have heard bibliophilia and obsessive book-owning called 'the gentle madness'. I agree.<br />
*Anything Lord of the Rings.<br />
*Hobbits.<br />
*Hedgehogs.<br />
*Dragons, though not so much as I used to be...<br />
*Babylon 5. If you say that it's boring, slow, and talks too much, I will come to your house and cut you. If you say that it doesn't have enough hot chicks like that Diana Troy girl, may whatever deity you believe in intercede on your behalf.<br />
*Doctor Who. Jellybaby?<br />
*Drawing. Well, most crafty type things. I have yet to meet a visual art form I didn't like. Drawing is just the least messy and cheapest one of which I have made the acquaintance. Therefore it has the most excessive representation in my artistic pursuits.<br />

===Miscellaneous Things===<br />
*BOOKS! Books and more books. At last count I have over 600. There's probably a lot more now, since I last counted in high school. I've given some away but I've bought a lot more. 600 seems...so puny, so there's probably a lot more. Someday I'll make a listing of what I have...just to scare people, of course. I know what I have, in that if you ask me if I have it I can tell you yes or no and where it is. I also know what I want in that I have a mental list of books I am always on the lookout for in stores, used stores, thrift stores, yardsales, etc... I do patronize libraries, but I prefer to own books. I prefer hardcovers for reading, paperbacks for my wallet (and storage, as they tend to be of uniform height). I have heard bibliophilia and obsessive book-owning called 'the gentle madness'. I agree.<br />

*Babylon 5. If you say that it's boring, slow, and talks too much, I will come to your house and cut you. If you say that it doesn't have enough hot chicks like that Diana Troy girl, may whatever deity you believe in intercede on your behalf.<br />
*Doctor Who. Jellybaby?<br />
*Drawing. Well, most crafty type things. I have yet to meet a visual art form I didn't like. Drawing is just the least messy and cheapest one of which I have made the acquaintance. Therefore it has the most excessive representation in my artistic pursuits.<br />

*Doctor Who. Jellybaby?<br />
*Drawing. Well, most crafty type things. I have yet to meet a visual art form I didn't like. Drawing is just the least messy and cheapest one of which I have made the acquaintance. Therefore it has the most excessive representation in my artistic pursuits.<br />

===Background===<br />
<br />
Like poltergeists or children's imaginary friends, the doppelgänger belongs to the class of Others directly created by human minds. The specific circumstances of its creation are not as yet understood and the creatures are extremely rare. However, there is one in residence at the Agency. Her name is Viveka and she lives in Residential Room #144. This is the room with the two large signs reading "Do Not Disturb Without Clearance" and "Knock Loudly Before Entering."<br />
<br />
The word "doppelgänger" is of German derivation, and most seem to originate in that part of the world. It means "double-walker", and the newly formed doppelgänger is just that; a ghostly imitation of a living human. It is a nonlethal psychic parasite with a sort of umbilical to its maker. A new doppelgänger is insubstantial and not self-aware. Most do not survive. The most common failure is to manifest within sight of the host, so that observers utterly disbelieve in the illusion. The creature then discorporates entirely. Similarly, being presented with a mirror or other highly reflective surface can destroy the fragile creature; it casts no reflection and so perhaps disbelieves itself into oblivion... Discorporation is common, and because of this it's unusual for the Agency to need to deal with a doppelgänger.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, however, a doppelgänger survives this initial fragility and enters short periods of substance and thought, though most of its existence is still ghostlike. Viveka seems to have had minimal contact with her host, and after a few years she 'fledged' as she puts it, breaking the psychic umbilical. Choosing a newly built house as her territory, Viveka fed on the house's residents bylow-grade psychic draining via direct contact (usually done in the donor's sleep). After feeding she would temporarily have her meal's shape. A few generations passed and the house unsurprisingly got a reputation for being haunted. It was abandoned, which by then suited Viveka just fine.<br />
<br />
Viveka's periods of coporeality and sentience had lengthened and her need for contact feeding dwindled to nothing. Once she began to exist off of ambient psychic energy alone she grew aggresively territorial, driving all curious trespassers from her house. Eventually her shape-shifting came under conscious control, and soon after she was permanently aware and physical. Finally she acquired a true form and named herself. This all took nearly two centuries to happen, and in that time as hobbies Viveka studied cooking and poisons. We assume that the fact she does not actually <i>eat</i> is why she thinks this is a logical pairing.<br />
<br />
Exceedingly few doppelgängers develop into fullly independent, sentient beings. Agency protocols state that those who reach this stage are offered either a place in the organization or imprisonment/termination. Viveka chose to join the Agency and was given medium-sized quarters for her use, which she filled with books and a something that is both a kitchen and a poisons lab. She now stays in her quarters unless she must leave for an assignment. Agents who visit her warn her in advance, and are greeted with fresh delicious pie and the newest batch of toxins for Main Lab. She does not have many visitors. <br />
<br />
In her true form Viveka appears as a waiflike human woman four and a half feet tall, with wild black hair, sallow skin, dark sunken eyes, and purplish lips. Her hands have long knobbled fingers ending in blackened claws. When she is out in public, she wears baggy pants, shirt, and a coat with deep pockets for her hands. She does not go out often; Viveka says that too many people too close give her indigestion. Having an adult doppelgänger to study has expanded our knowledge of the creatures. They retain their weakness to mirrors, for example, and while one will not kill Viveka, enough can cause her enough discomfort to end a shapeshift. The Agency's records also now show that adult doppelgängers can drain dangerous amounts of psychic energy if they use contact-feeding. Viveka, at least, uses this offensively. Between the claws and her psychic paratism, she is occasionally of great use to the Agency, though she is not recommended for diplomatic missions.<br />

===Miscellaneous Things===<br />
*BOOKS! Books and more books. At last count I have over 600. There's probably a lot more now, since I last counted in high school. I've given some away but I've bought a lot more. 600 seems...so puny, so there's probably a lot more. Someday I'll make a listing of what I have...just to scare people, of course. I know what I have, in that if you ask me if I have it I can tell you yes or no and where it is. I also know what I want in that I have a mental list of books I am always on the lookout for in stores, used stores, thrift stores, yardsales, etc... I do patronize libraries, but I prefer to own books. I prefer hardcovers for reading, paperbacks for my wallet (and storage, as they tend to be of uniform height). I have heard bibliophilia and obsessive book-owning called 'the gentle madness'. I agree.<br />
*Anything Lord of the Rings.<br />
*Hobbits.<br />
*Hedgehogs.<br />
*Dragons, though not so much as I used to be...<br />
*Lovins from [[User:Zahnnie|Zahnnie]]!<br />
*Babylon 5. If you say that it's boring, slow, and talks too much, I will come to your house and cut you. If you say that it doesn't have enough hot chicks like that Diana Troy girl, may whatever deity you believe in intercede on your behalf.<br />
*Doctor Who. Jellybaby?<br />
*Drawing. Well, most crafty type things. I have yet to meet a visual art form I didn't like. Drawing is just the least messy and cheapest one of which I have made the acquaintance. Therefore it has the most excessive representation in my artistic pursuits.<br />

<b>Salutations! Umm. Right. Moving on....</b><br><br />
So it looks like I'll be taking three, not two, semesters off from college. I guess more time to get grounded and centered is a nice thing. And also, I'm not exactly gung-ho to return to the bubble that is MIT.<br />
<br />
On a different note, read in the paper today that the Supreme Court declined to hear the argument of the people who're challenging the Massachusetts law allowing same-sex marriages. Of course this was from the point that the federal government cannot make the precedent of interfering in states' rights...but the challengers don't believe that. Honestly...government should only take a moral stance in those actions which harm others, like theft and murder. Sorry, but while you might find Sally and Jane's marriage offensive, it's not <i>harmful</i> to you. That's the root of the issue.<br />
<br />
And, oh noes! The mud is down today until Dec. 7. Whatever shall I do? Get caught up on my artwork and the wiki, that's what. Mmmm, free time.<br><br />

<b>MiniRants and Inane Rambles</b><br><br />
Last night I told my parents I'm taking one more semester off from MIT to make sure I'm well before I go back. Holy mother. At least I know for certain my dad values success and a good career over personal happiness, now.<br />
<br />
I am drawing my friend Yoji and my friend Thymol, both of whom have excellent taste in music. Thy sent me a song by Cake that made me laugh, so he gets extra brownie points. Yoji does too, because he can make me giggle by telling stories. I've also put more recipes up. I'm all about this recipe-not-on-an-index-card-alone thing, because it makes it so much easier to share them.<br />
<br />
Also, today there was christmas shopping. And I have survived. The pile of wrapped boxes on the dining table, complete with kitty-chew-toy bows, is testament to all the shopping.<br />
<br />
In conclusion, if you bring your problems to me, and don't want to follow my advice, you can still come cry on my shoulder, but don't keep asking me to solve it for you. I already tried that, and apparently that's not what you want.<br><br />

<b>Dream a Little Dream</b><br><br />
Umm. Well. Ever have that feeling when things change so much that they don't?<br />
<br />
I'm not making sense, am I? Well, recent life has been surreal, but in a fascinating way. I had a dream just now that was actually my brain designing a website. The website's service was to provide yuppies and deep blue liberals a border-hopping service to Canada, so that they could bypass the hassle of immigration. The hikers would provide such basic amenities as solar-powered espresso makers, GPS watches, and little satellite-hookup tvs so their clients would not miss the latest <i>Queer Eye for the Straight Guy</i> while trekking to the Land of Maple Leaves, Bacon, and French-Canadian Freedom Fighters. The dream was incredibly lucid, right down the font I should use for best effect.<br />
<br />
Oi. Trading Christian Fundies for Wannabe Frenchmen? I must be going nuttier than I thought. No amount of solar-brewed espresso is worth that.<br />

Luckily I have gotten [[User:Morrigu|Morrigu]] into is as well! Haha! I win. Or something. Join me in my obsession and together we will take over the world!<br />
<br />
Also, I must say, there's nothing like satisfying a food craving to get rid of a crappy mood and make you feel better. Today I had mushrooms, and beef. It was in the form of a burger. WOW, but I feel better.<br />

<br />
On another note, my boy sent me a love letter. Never got a love letter before. It was in a red envelope, and he put his cologne on it...ooh, I melted inside. I love my boy.<br />
<br />
Of course now it means that I have to go buy a hatbox covered in flowers or something. Hehehe.<br />

<b>An Aging Population</b><br><br />
Wow. As of ten minutes ago, I have found my first white hairs. I have three! One is actually grey, or rather, shaded. It starts as brown at the end and goes to white at the root. I am pulling this out when I get home and saving it as a landmark. Well, Mom and Dad both were white by 40 and started to go grey before 30...I guess the trait amplified in me or something. Mmm. 21 and white hairs.<br />
<br />
I did kinda expect to not have a motherhood ceremony, what with the expectation that I'm not going to reproduce and all, but I didn't expect to get to my croning so soon. Wheee!<br />

Does this mean I get to start carrying a cane around to poke and thwap annoying, rude, or stupid people with? 'Cause I've always wanted one of those.<br />

<b>The Unitarian Jihad Wants YOU! - for reasoned and enlightened discussion</b><br><br />
I want to join the Unitarian Jihad. They sound like pretty froody cats. If you think I am even more insane than before, please blame it all on [http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2005/04/08/DDG27BCFLG1.DTL Jon Carroll], of the San Fransisco Chronicle.<br />
<br />
I think this is my favorite piece of the article:<br>"Beware! Unless you people shut up and begin acting like grown-ups with brains enough to understand the difference between political belief and personal faith, the Unitarian Jihad will begin a series of terrorist-like actions. We will take over television studios, kidnap so-called commentators and broadcast calm, well-reasoned discussions of the issues of the day. We will not try for "balance" by hiring fruitcakes; we will try for balance by hiring non-ideologues who have carefully thought through the issues."<br />
<br />
Also, my Unitarian Jihad name is Sister Spikey Mace of Loving Kindness. The [http://homepage.mac.com/whump/ujname.html committee] told me so.<br />

<b>Musings at Work on a Friday</b><br><br />
Hoooooo hum. Friday again. This is the day that the other secretary is in as well, so basically my duties are to be backup phone operator, which I only need to actually do when she's on a call or on her lunch break, and to do whatever odd jobs people thrust upon me.<br />
<br />
Translation: Every half hour or so I answer a call. Every two hours or so I fill a machine of some type with paper, make coffee, clean dishes in the kitchen, or do something rather random. Previous random chores have been to assemble collapsible poster stands for a conference, run a binder to the copier's and make 5 copies, go buy beer for the office, and make a small excel spreadsheet.<br />
<br />
As you may guess, this bores me out of my tiny little insane mind. I pass the time by hitting my favorite sites, reading webcomics, checking le email, and forumwhoring. Sadly, though, the most engrossing and time-consuming of these activities, forumwhoring or, as I sometimes call it, engaging in relevant and intellectually stimulating discussion via the interent (AHAHAHAHAHA!), is not available today. xForums will not load. I am not sure if this is an issue on my end or on their end. This means I get to subject everyone who actually reads this sad, sad excuse for a journal to EVEN MORE of my maudlin and scatterbrained ramblings. Couldn't you just pee yourself out of SHEER JOY??!!!? I know I could.<br />
<br />
So what shall I do now? Well, first off, I can agonize more over my Legends character. I simply am going to drive myself insane with not being able to make a plan here. I don't know what I want her to do. Well, correction: I do know what I want to do, I am just not sure I can get away with it and not have everyone misunderstand before I'm done and try to shank me, which would be very sad and make kittens and cute puppies cry.<br />
<br />
I could do something I have been meaning to do for some time, namely, make a page here that has all the webcomics and random-as sites I frequent in a nice list. For some weird reason I dislike using bookmarks for this. Maybe a short page of links will make my life easier, and keep me from forgetting things.<br />
<br />
Oh! I also thought of making a page for people's City of Heroes characters, where we (read: Morrigu and I) could keep a log of what level and abilities and whatnot all those little superheroes have, and muse over options for enhancements and powers. Hey, there's a set of Monster Ranches up on the main page... Hmmm. If I really want to twink out I could even stick up screenshots of the characters in question looking badass or some junk like that. Shall think more on this.<br />
<br />
And the boss' dog needs to be taken for walkies, so I guess that is it for now. Wish me luck.<br />

"No, ma'am, this is (company name), we are an architectural firm."<br><br />
"Georgie isn't there?"<br><br />
"No, ma'am, I am sorry but no one by that name works here."<br><br />
"Are you certain?"<br><br />
"Yes, ma'am, I am."<br><br />
"Where is this?"<br><br />
"This is (company name), ma'am."<br><br />
"What's that?"<br><br />
"We are an architectural firm."<br><br />
"Oh. No, Georgie works at the bank, he isn't there." [click]<br><br />
<br />
I get a couple calls like this every week, but usually I don't have to repeat the company name more than once, and usually they don't call back in an hour... and go through the same thing ALL OVER AGAIN.<br />
<br />
Arrgh. Why are people so dumb? How do these people survive to adulthood?<br />

She must be going for Nutcase of the Month Award, because Stupid Calling-for-Geargie Woman just called back once more! And once more, she has been informed that this is not a bank, nor is Georgie here. Let's hear it for listening skills, folks.<br />
<br />
Actually, I can't really believe someone really is this dumb. They must be prankers. Particularly unimaginative and annoying prankers.<br />

<b>Salutations! Umm. Right. Moving on....</b><br><br />
So it looks like I'll be taking three, not two, semesters off from college. I guess more time to get grounded and centered is a nice thing. And also, I'm not exactly gung-ho to return to the bubble that is MIT.<br />
<br />
On a different note, read in the paper today that the Supreme Court declined to hear the argument of the people who're challenging the Massachusetts law allowing same-sex marriages. Of course this was from the point that the federal government cannot make the precedent of interfering in states' rights...but the challengers don't believe that. Honestly...government should only take a moral stance in those actions which harm others, like theft and murder. Sorry, but while you might find Sally and Jane's marriage offensive, it's not <i>harmful</i> to you. That's the root of the issue.<br />
<br />
And, oh noes! The mud is down today until Dec. 7. Whatever shall I do? Get caught up on my artwork and the wiki, that's what. Mmmm, free time.<br><br />

<b>MiniRants and Inane Rambles</b><br><br />
Last night I told my parents I'm taking one more semester off from MIT to make sure I'm well before I go back. Holy mother. At least I know for certain my dad values success and a good career over personal happiness, now.<br />
<br />
I am drawing my friend Yoji and my friend Thymol, both of whom have excellent taste in music. Thy sent me a song by Cake that made me laugh, so he gets extra brownie points. Yoji does too, because he can make me giggle by telling stories. I've also put more recipes up. I'm all about this recipe-not-on-an-index-card-alone thing, because it makes it so much easier to share them.<br />
<br />
Also, today there was christmas shopping. And I have survived. The pile of wrapped boxes on the dining table, complete with kitty-chew-toy bows, is testament to all the shopping.<br />
<br />
In conclusion, if you bring your problems to me, and don't want to follow my advice, you can still come cry on my shoulder, but don't keep asking me to solve it for you. I already tried that, and apparently that's not what you want.<br><br />

<b>Dream a Little Dream</b><br><br />
Umm. Well. Ever have that feeling when things change so much that they don't?<br />
<br />
I'm not making sense, am I? Well, recent life has been surreal, but in a fascinating way. I had a dream just now that was actually my brain designing a website. The website's service was to provide yuppies and deep blue liberals a border-hopping service to Canada, so that they could bypass the hassle of immigration. The hikers would provide such basic amenities as solar-powered espresso makers, GPS watches, and little satellite-hookup tvs so their clients would not miss the latest <i>Queer Eye for the Straight Guy</i> while trekking to the Land of Maple Leaves, Bacon, and French-Canadian Freedom Fighters. The dream was incredibly lucid, right down the font I should use for best effect.<br />
<br />
Oi. Trading Christian Fundies for Wannabe Frenchmen? I must be going nuttier than I thought. No amount of solar-brewed espresso is worth that.<br />

Also, I must say, there's nothing like satisfying a food craving to get rid of a crappy mood and make you feel better. Today I had mushrooms, and beef. It was in the form of a burger. WOW, but I feel better.<br />

Today I learned that Alan Keyes' daughter has come out [http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/02/13/politics/main673732.shtml as a lesbian]. What a Valentine for Daddy! This cheered me up to no end. She apparently also has a [http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=Xmisled0youthX Xanga site]. Hopefully, maybe...it'll all get better...<br />
<br />
On another note, my boy sent me a love letter. Never got a love letter before. It was in a red envelope, and he put his cologne on it...ooh, I melted inside. I love my boy.<br />
<br />
Of course now it means that I have to go buy a hatbox covered in flowers or something. Hehehe.<br />

<b>An Aging Population</b><br><br />
Wow. As of ten minutes ago, I have found my first white hairs. I have three! One is actually grey, or rather, shaded. It starts as brown at the end and goes to white at the root. I am pulling this out when I get home and saving it as a landmark. Well, Mom and Dad both were white by 40 and started to go grey before 30...I guess the trait amplified in me or something. Mmm. 21 and white hairs.<br />
<br />
I did kinda expect to not have a motherhood ceremony, what with the expectation that I'm not going to reproduce and all, but I didn't expect to get to my croning so soon. Wheee!<br />

Does this mean I get to start carrying a cane around to poke and thwap annoying, rude, or stupid people with? 'Cause I've always wanted one of those.<br />

<b>The Unitarian Jihad Wants YOU! - for reasoned and enlightened discussion</b><br><br />
I want to join the Unitarian Jihad. They sound like pretty froody cats. If you think I am even more insane than before, please blame it all on [http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2005/04/08/DDG27BCFLG1.DTL Jon Carroll], of the San Fransisco Chronicle.<br />
<br />
I think this is my favorite piece of the article:<br>"Beware! Unless you people shut up and begin acting like grown-ups with brains enough to understand the difference between political belief and personal faith, the Unitarian Jihad will begin a series of terrorist-like actions. We will take over television studios, kidnap so-called commentators and broadcast calm, well-reasoned discussions of the issues of the day. We will not try for "balance" by hiring fruitcakes; we will try for balance by hiring non-ideologues who have carefully thought through the issues."<br />
<br />
Also, my Unitarian Jihad name is Sister Spikey Mace of Loving Kindness. The [http://homepage.mac.com/whump/ujname.html committee] told me so.<br />

<b>Musings at Work on a Friday</b><br><br />
Hoooooo hum. Friday again. This is the day that the other secretary is in as well, so basically my duties are to be backup phone operator, which I only need to actually do when she's on a call or on her lunch break, and to do whatever odd jobs people thrust upon me.<br />
<br />
Translation: Every half hour or so I answer a call. Every two hours or so I fill a machine of some type with paper, make coffee, clean dishes in the kitchen, or do something rather random. Previous random chores have been to assemble collapsible poster stands for a conference, run a binder to the copier's and make 5 copies, go buy beer for the office, and make a small excel spreadsheet.<br />
<br />
As you may guess, this bores me out of my tiny little insane mind. I pass the time by hitting my favorite sites, reading webcomics, checking le email, and forumwhoring. Sadly, though, the most engrossing and time-consuming of these activities, forumwhoring or, as I sometimes call it, engaging in relevant and intellectually stimulating discussion via the interent (AHAHAHAHAHA!), is not available today. xForums will not load. I am not sure if this is an issue on my end or on their end. This means I get to subject everyone who actually reads this sad, sad excuse for a journal to EVEN MORE of my maudlin and scatterbrained ramblings. Couldn't you just pee yourself out of SHEER JOY??!!!? I know I could.<br />
<br />
So what shall I do now? Well, first off, I can agonize more over my Legends character. I simply am going to drive myself insane with not being able to make a plan here. I don't know what I want her to do. Well, correction: I do know what I want to do, I am just not sure I can get away with it and not have everyone misunderstand before I'm done and try to shank me, which would be very sad and make kittens and cute puppies cry.<br />
<br />
I could do something I have been meaning to do for some time, namely, make a page here that has all the webcomics and random-as sites I frequent in a nice list. For some weird reason I dislike using bookmarks for this. Maybe a short page of links will make my life easier, and keep me from forgetting things.<br />
<br />
Oh! I also thought of making a page for people's City of Heroes characters, where we (read: Morrigu and I) could keep a log of what level and abilities and whatnot all those little superheroes have, and muse over options for enhancements and powers. Hey, there's a set of Monster Ranches up on the main page... Hmmm. If I really want to twink out I could even stick up screenshots of the characters in question looking badass or some junk like that. Shall think more on this.<br />
<br />
And the boss' dog needs to be taken for walkies, so I guess that is it for now. Wish me luck.<br />

<div>==Party invite:==<br />
<br />
Every year, it happens. There's nothing that can be done to prevent it. Sometimes it's scary. Sometimes it's fun. This year we're back to celebrating it, and with all these superheroes around, there's no need to be scared.<br />
<br />
After our hiatus last year, UtterChaos will be returning to your regularly scheduled Halloween party! As in years past, this will be an adults only part, as children may be scarred for life, or at the very least stuffed in the attic. There will be food and drinks aplenty, but if there's something in particular you feel you must share, please feel free to bring it along.<br />
<br />
This will be a costume party, as it's Halloween, and we love costumes. We'll even have a costume contest at some point. This year we're encouraging DC superheroes (or villains), but feel free to show up as whatever you'd like. If you're not in a costume we take your shirt and make you wear the mask of shame for the night. Since this is an adults only party, feel free to get as risque as you'd like. In the past we've had such costumes as a harem girl, the fairy queen (Though he could have done better things with his hair), and even a female satyr with a belt, a dagger, and a smile. This year it's rumored we might even have orgazmo show up.<br />
<br />
Please feel free to bring SO's, but check with us before you pass this invite along to anyone else. RSVP by Friday, 10/24 or we take your pants at the door. (Someone showing up without an RSVP and not in costume might get a bit chilly). When you RSVP, we'll put you up on our wiki page as being in attendance, and if you want us to put up your costume as well, let us know what you'll be showing up as and we'll add that too. The wiki page is at http://wiki.utter-chaos.net/ucwiki/index.php/Halloween_Party_2008<br />

<br />
Every year, it happens. There's nothing that can be done to prevent it. Sometimes it's scary. Sometimes it's fun. This year we're back to celebrating it, and with all these superheroes around, there's no need to be scared.<br />
<br />
After our hiatus last year, UtterChaos will be returning to your regularly scheduled Halloween party! As in years past, this will be an adults only part, as children may be scarred for life, or at the very least stuffed in the attic. There will be food and drinks aplenty, but if there's something in particular you feel you must share, please feel free to bring it along.<br />
<br />
This will be a costume party, as it's Halloween, and we love costumes. We'll even have a costume contest at some point. This year we're encouraging DC superheroes (or villains), but feel free to show up as whatever you'd like. If you're not in a costume we take your shirt and make you wear the mask of shame for the night. Since this is an adults only party, feel free to get as risque as you'd like. In the past we've had such costumes as a harem girl, the fairy queen (Though he could have done better things with his hair), and even a female satyr with a belt, a dagger, and a smile. This year it's rumored we might even have orgazmo show up.<br />
<br />
Please feel free to bring SO's, but check with us before you pass this invite along to anyone else. RSVP by Friday, 10/24 or we take your pants at the door. (Someone showing up without an RSVP and not in costume might get a bit chilly). When you RSVP, we'll put you up on our wiki page as being in attendance, and if you want us to put up your costume as well, let us know what you'll be showing up as and we'll add that too.

<div>Did I spell Choad wrong? - [[User:Aurora|Aurora]] 12:11, 19 September 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
Answer: Yes, because I heard it wrong. I think I need to watch that movie. -[[User:Aurora|Aurora]] 12:42, 19 September 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
Actually, it is spelled "Choda Boy" in the credits. And damn, I need to get cracking on finding a pink unitard for Orgazmo. --[[User:Ubernerd|Ubernerd]] 14:52, 19 September 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
If you happen to find pink boxing gloves or a pink pleather miniskirt on your journeys, do let me know, will you? ;) --[[User:Caryatid|Caryatid]] 10:43, 24 September 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
UPDATE: Actually, I have found pink boxing gloves ('It's an Everlast!') at Target.com, and reasonably priced! AND I found the cutest little (emphasis on word the latter) skirt -- HOWEVER, said skirt is largely transparent. <br />
So, will there be a sewing circle one of these weekends pre-party? I may be sewing a simple cape to offer some naked tush security, and reinforcing the tubey bits that restrain the awesome sprung steel boning Miss [[User:Ubernerd|Ubernerd]] graced my corset with, for its piercing damage is great, like a great sword, only in boobies form and not Freud-phallic. --[[User:Caryatid|Caryatid]] 09:29, 1 October 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
I'll be sewing the Orgazmo costume one of these weekends. Probably the weekend of the 18th etc. You are most welcome to come over and sew with me (I have an extra machine). --[[User:Ubernerd|Ubernerd]] 09:52, 1 October 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
Awesome! It's a date! I'll bring the strap-on--er, I mean fabric. --[[User:Caryatid|Caryatid]] 10:08, 1 October 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
I'd want to go as Sara Pezzini, wearing the Witchblade. But I do not think I can remotely afford the necessary bracelet. Back to the drawing board! --[[User:Rykilde|Rykilde]] 21:26, 7 October 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
I'd support that choice (they've finally made the DVDs! <3!) but a Sarah Pezzini impersonator would also have to do the raspy voice all night, and that could hurt. --[[User:Caryatid|Caryatid]] 10:20, 8 October 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
Crap. I need an idea for a Halloween costume. Steph says I should be [http://dcanimated.wikia.com/wiki/Roulette Roulette]. Does anyone else have any ideas? --[[User:Ubernerd|Ubernerd]] 10:54, 8 October 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
I think you would make a very fine Roulette, or a SUPERB [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley_Quinn Harley Quinn]. --[[User:Caryatid|Caryatid]] 13:31, 9 October 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
Ooh, I completely forgot about Harley Quinn. What an adorable little super-villain! But I'd need me a Mr. J... Good suggestion though! I'll keep it in mind :) Thoughts anyone else? --[[User:Ubernerd|Ubernerd]] 16:30, 9 October 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
You don't need a Mr. J. Red is going to be Poison Ivy, and Harley and Ivy are the best HLA villians around. -[[User:Aurora|Aurora]] 09:37, 10 October 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
And the Garment District has costume pieces for Harlequins. :D Lighthearted mayhem is always fun! --[[User:Rykilde|Rykilde]] 20:58, 19 October 2008 (EST)</div>Rykilde//wiki.utter-chaos.net/ucwiki/index.php?title=TOA_VivekaTOA Viveka2008-10-14T03:43:35Z<p>Rykilde: more skillful, better mind</p>
<hr />
<div>===Background===<br />
<br />
Like poltergeists or children's imaginary friends, the doppelgänger belongs to the class of Others directly created by human minds. The specific circumstances of its creation are not as yet understood and the creatures are extremely rare. However, there is one in residence at the Agency. Her name is Viveka and she lives in Residential Room #144. This is the room with the two large signs reading "Do Not Disturb Without Clearance" and "Knock Loudly Before Entering."<br />
<br />
The word "doppelgänger" is of German derivation, and most seem to originate in that part of the world. It means "double-walker", and the newly formed doppelgänger is just that; a ghostly imitation of a living human. It is a nonlethal psychic parasite with a sort of umbilical to its maker. A new doppelgänger is insubstantial and not self-aware. Most do not survive. The most common failure is to manifest within sight of the host, so that observers utterly disbelieve in the illusion. The creature then discorporates entirely. Similarly, being presented with a mirror or other highly reflective surface can destroy the fragile creature; it casts no reflection and so perhaps disbelieves itself into oblivion... Discorporation is common, and because of this it's unusual for the Agency to need to deal with a doppelgänger.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, however, a doppelgänger survives this initial fragility and enters short periods of substance and thought, though most of its existence is still ghostlike. Viveka seems to have had minimal contact with her host, and after a few years she 'fledged' as she puts it, breaking the psychic umbilical. Choosing a newly built house as her territory, Viveka fed on the house's residents bylow-grade psychic draining via direct contact (usually done in the donor's sleep). After feeding she would temporarily have her meal's shape. A few generations passed and the house unsurprisingly got a reputation for being haunted. It was abandoned, which by then suited Viveka just fine.<br />
<br />
Viveka's periods of coporeality and sentience had lengthened and her need for contact feeding dwindled to nothing. Once she began to exist off of ambient psychic energy alone she grew aggresively territorial, driving all curious trespassers from her house. Eventually her shape-shifting came under conscious control, and soon after she was permanently aware and physical. Finally she acquired a true form and named herself. This all took nearly two centuries to happen, and in that time as hobbies Viveka studied cooking and poisons. We assume that the fact she does not actually <i>eat</i> is why she thinks this is a logical pairing.<br />
<br />
Exceedingly few doppelgängers develop into fullly independent, sentient beings. Agency protocols state that those who reach this stage are offered either a place in the organization or imprisonment/termination. Viveka chose to join the Agency and was given medium-sized quarters for her use, which she filled with books and a something that is both a kitchen and a poisons lab. She now stays in her quarters unless she must leave for an assignment. Agents who visit her warn her in advance, and are greeted with fresh delicious pie and the newest batch of toxins for Main Lab. She does not have many visitors. <br />
<br />
In her true form Viveka appears as a waiflike human woman four and a half feet tall, with wild black hair, sallow skin, dark sunken eyes, and purplish lips. Her hands have long knobbled fingers ending in blackened claws. When she is out in public, she wears baggy pants, shirt, and a coat with deep pockets for her hands. She does not go out often; Viveka says that too many people too close give her indigestion. Having an adult doppelgänger to study has expanded our knowledge of the creatures. They retain their weakness to mirrors, for example, and while one will not kill Viveka, enough can cause her enough discomfort to end a shapeshift. The Agency's records also now show that adult doppelgängers can drain dangerous amounts of psychic energy if they use contact-feeding. Viveka, at least, uses this offensively. Between the claws and her psychic paratism, she is occasionally of great use to the Agency, though she is not recommended for diplomatic missions.<br />

<div>Did I spell Choad wrong? - [[User:Aurora|Aurora]] 12:11, 19 September 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
Answer: Yes, because I heard it wrong. I think I need to watch that movie. -[[User:Aurora|Aurora]] 12:42, 19 September 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
Actually, it is spelled "Choda Boy" in the credits. And damn, I need to get cracking on finding a pink unitard for Orgazmo. --[[User:Ubernerd|Ubernerd]] 14:52, 19 September 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
If you happen to find pink boxing gloves or a pink pleather miniskirt on your journeys, do let me know, will you? ;) --[[User:Caryatid|Caryatid]] 10:43, 24 September 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
UPDATE: Actually, I have found pink boxing gloves ('It's an Everlast!') at Target.com, and reasonably priced! AND I found the cutest little (emphasis on word the latter) skirt -- HOWEVER, said skirt is largely transparent. <br />
So, will there be a sewing circle one of these weekends pre-party? I may be sewing a simple cape to offer some naked tush security, and reinforcing the tubey bits that restrain the awesome sprung steel boning Miss [[User:Ubernerd|Ubernerd]] graced my corset with, for its piercing damage is great, like a great sword, only in boobies form and not Freud-phallic. --[[User:Caryatid|Caryatid]] 09:29, 1 October 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
I'll be sewing the Orgazmo costume one of these weekends. Probably the weekend of the 18th etc. You are most welcome to come over and sew with me (I have an extra machine). --[[User:Ubernerd|Ubernerd]] 09:52, 1 October 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
Awesome! It's a date! I'll bring the strap-on--er, I mean fabric. --[[User:Caryatid|Caryatid]] 10:08, 1 October 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
I'd want to go as Sara Pezzini, wearing the Witchblade. But I do not think I can remotely afford the necessary bracelet. Back to the drawing board! --[[User:Rykilde|Rykilde]] 21:26, 7 October 2008 (EST)</div>Rykilde//wiki.utter-chaos.net/ucwiki/index.php?title=TOA_VivekaTOA Viveka2008-09-30T16:13:54Z<p>Rykilde: </p>

<div>===Background===<br />
<br />
Like poltergeists or children's imaginary friends, the doppelgänger belongs to the class of Others directly created by human minds. The specific circumstances of its creation are not as yet understood and the creatures are extremely rare. However, there is one in residence at the Agency. Her name is Viveka and she lives in Residential Room #144. This is the room with the two large signs reading "Do Not Disturb Without Clearance" and "Knock Loudly Before Entering."<br />
<br />
The word "doppelgänger" is of German derivation, and most seem to originate in that part of the world. It means "double-walker", and the newly formed doppelgänger is just that; a ghostly imitation of a living human. It is a nonlethal psychic parasite with a sort of umbilical to its maker. A new doppelgänger is insubstantial and not self-aware. Most do not survive. The most common failure is to manifest within sight of the host, so that observers utterly disbelieve in the illusion. The creature then discorporates entirely. Similarly, being presented with a mirror or other highly reflective surface can destroy the fragile creature; it casts no reflection and so perhaps disbelieves itself into oblivion... Discorporation is common, and because of this it's unusual for the Agency to need to deal with a doppelgänger.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, however, a doppelgänger survives this initial fragility and enters short periods of substance and thought, though most of its existence is still ghostlike. Viveka seems to have had minimal contact with her host, and after a few years she 'fledged' as she puts it, breaking the psychic umbilical. Choosing a newly built house as her territory, Viveka fed on the house's residents bylow-grade psychic draining via direct contact (usually done in the donor's sleep). After feeding she would temporarily have her meal's shape. A few generations passed and the house unsurprisingly got a reputation for being haunted. It was abandoned, which by then suited Viveka just fine.<br />
<br />
Viveka's periods of coporeality and sentience had lengthened and her need for contact feeding dwindled to nothing. Once she began to exist off of ambient psychic energy alone she grew aggresively territorial, driving all curious trespassers from her house. Eventually her shape-shifting came under conscious control, and soon after she was permanently aware and physical. Finally she acquired a true form and named herself. This all took nearly two centuries to happen, and in that time as hobbies Viveka studied cooking and poisons. We assume that the fact she does not actually <i>eat</i> is why she thinks this is a logical pairing.<br />
<br />
Exceedingly few doppelgängers develop into fullly independent, sentient beings. Agency protocols state that those who reach this stage are offered either a place in the organization or imprisonment/termination. Viveka chose to join the Agency and was given medium-sized quarters for her use, which she filled with books and a something that is both a kitchen and a poisons lab. She now stays in her quarters unless she must leave for an assignment. Agents who visit her warn her in advance, and are greeted with fresh delicious pie and the newest batch of toxins for Main Lab. She does not have many visitors. <br />
<br />
In her true form Viveka appears as a waiflike human woman four and a half feet tall, with wild black hair, sallow skin, dark sunken eyes, and purplish lips. Her hands have long knobbled fingers ending in blackened claws. When she is out in public, she wears baggy pants, shirt, and a coat with deep pockets for her hands. She does not go out often; Viveka says that too many people too close give her indigestion. Having an adult doppelgänger to study has expanded our knowledge of the creatures. They retain their weakness to mirrors, for example, and while one will not kill Viveka, enough can cause her enough discomfort to end a shapeshift. The Agency's records also now show that adult doppelgängers can drain dangerous amounts of psychic energy if they use contact-feeding. Viveka, at least, uses this offensively. Between the claws and her psychic paratism, she is occasionally of great use to the Agency, though she is not recommended for diplomatic missions.<br />

===Alternate Form===<br />
Viveka's Alternate Form has the physical appearance of whatever poor sod she used her Nullify (Drain) on last. When in an Alternate Form, Vivy retains all her knowledge and metaphysical traits like soul munching and a doppelganger's weakness to mirrors. However, because she's not familiar with her new shape, Vivy doesn't know how to use it effectively, so when she shapeshifts she loses her physical combat skills. On the other hand, she doesn't (generally) look quite so unsettling...<br />

<hr />
<div>===Background===<br />
<br />
Like poltergeists or children's imaginary friends, the doppelgänger belongs to the class of Others directly created by human minds. The specific circumstances of its creation are not as yet understood and the creatures are extremely rare. However, there is one in residence at the Agency. Her name is Viveka and she lives in Residential Room #144. This is the room with the two large signs reading "Do Not Disturb Without Clearance" and "Knock Loudly Before Entering."<br />
<br />
The word "doppelgänger" is of German derivation, and most seem to originate in that part of the world. It means "double-walker", and the newly formed doppelgänger is just that; a ghostly imitation of a living human. It is a nonlethal psychic parasite with a sort of umbilical to its maker. A new doppelgänger is insubstantial and not self-aware. Most do not survive. The most common failure is to manifest within sight of the host, so that observers utterly disbelieve in the illusion. The creature then discorporates entirely. Similarly, being presented with a mirror or other highly reflective surface can destroy the fragile creature; it casts no reflection and so perhaps disbelieves itself into oblivion... Discorporation is common, and because of this it's unusual for the Agency to need to deal with a doppelgänger.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, however, a doppelgänger survives this initial fragility and enters short periods of substance and thought, though most of its existence is still ghostlike. Viveka seems to have had minimal contact with her host, and after a few years she 'fledged' as she puts it, breaking the psychic umbilical. Choosing a newly built house as her territory, Viveka fed on the house's residents bylow-grade psychic draining via direct contact (usually done in the donor's sleep). After feeding she would temporarily have her meal's shape. A few generations passed and the house unsurprisingly got a reputation for being haunted. It was abandoned, which by then suited Viveka just fine.<br />
<br />
Viveka's periods of coporeality and sentience had lengthened and her need for contact feeding dwindled to nothing. Once she began to exist off of ambient psychic energy alone she grew aggresively territorial, driving all curious trespassers from her house. Eventually her shape-shifting came under conscious control, and soon after she was permanently aware and physical. Finally she acquired a true form and named herself. This all took nearly two centuries to happen, and in that time as hobbies Viveka studied cooking and poisons. We assume that the fact she does not actually <i>eat</i> is why she thinks this is a logical pairing.<br />
<br />
Exceedingly few doppelgängers develop into fullly independent, sentient beings. Agency protocols state that those who reach this stage are offered either a place in the organization or imprisonment/termination. Viveka chose to join the Agency and was given medium-sized quarters for her use, which she filled with books and a something that is both a kitchen and a poisons lab. She now stays in her quarters unless she must leave for an assignment. Agents who visit her warn her in advance, and are greeted with fresh delicious pie and the newest batch of toxins for Main Lab. She does not have many visitors. <br />
<br />
In her true form Viveka appears as a waiflike human woman four and a half feet tall, with wild black hair, sallow skin, dark sunken eyes, and purplish lips. Her hands have long knobbled fingers ending in blackened claws. When she is out in public, she wears baggy pants, shirt, and a coat with deep pockets for her hands. She does not go out often; Viveka says that too many people too close give her indigestion. Having an adult doppelgänger to study has expanded our knowledge of the creatures. They retain their weakness to mirrors, for example, and while one will not kill Viveka, enough can cause her enough discomfort to end a shapeshift. The Agency's records also now show that adult doppelgängers can drain dangerous amounts of psychic energy if they use contact-feeding. Viveka, at least, uses this offensively. Between the claws and her psychic paratism, she is occasionally of great use to the Agency, though she is not recommended for diplomatic missions.<br />

===Alternate Form===<br />
Viveka's Alternate Form has the physical appearance of whatever poor sod she used her Nullify (Drain) on last. When in an Alternate Form, Vivy retains all her knowledge and metaphysical traits like soul munching and a doppelganger's weakness to mirrors. However, because she's not familiar with her new shape, Vivy doesn't know how to use it effectively, so when she shapeshifts she loses her physical combat skills. On the other hand, she doesn't (generally) look quite so unsettling...<br />

Viveka's Alternate Form has the physical appearance of whatever poor sod she used her Nullify (Drain) on last. When in an Alternate Form, Vivy retains all her knowledge and metaphysical traits like soul munching and a doppelganger's weakness to mirrors. However, because she's not familiar with her new shape, Vivy doesn't know how to use it effectively, so when she shapeshifts she loses her physical combat skills. On the other hand, she doesn't (generally) look quite so unsettling...<br />

<hr />
<div>===Background===<br />
<br />
Like poltergeists or children's imaginary friends, the doppelgänger belongs to the class of Others directly created by human minds. The specific circumstances of its creation are not as yet understood and the creatures are extremely rare. However, there is one in residence at the Agency. Her name is Viveka and she lives in Residential Room #144. This is the room with the two large signs reading "Do Not Disturb Without Clearance" and "Knock Loudly Before Entering."<br />
<br />
The word "doppelgänger" is of German derivation, and most seem to originate in that part of the world. It means "double-walker", and the newly formed doppelgänger is just that; a ghostly imitation of a living human. It is a nonlethal psychic parasite with a sort of umbilical to its maker. A new doppelgänger is insubstantial and not self-aware. Most do not survive. The most common failure is to manifest within sight of the host, so that observers utterly disbelieve in the illusion. The creature then discorporates entirely. Similarly, being presented with a mirror or other highly reflective surface can destroy the fragile creature; it casts no reflection and so perhaps disbelieves itself into oblivion... Discorporation is common, and because of this it's unusual for the Agency to need to deal with a doppelgänger.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, however, a doppelgänger survives this initial fragility and enters short periods of substance and thought, though most of its existence is still ghostlike. Viveka seems to have had minimal contact with her host, and after a few years she 'fledged' as she puts it, breaking the psychic umbilical. Choosing a newly built house as her territory, Viveka fed on the house's residents bylow-grade psychic draining via direct contact (usually done in the donor's sleep). After feeding she would temporarily have her meal's shape. A few generations passed and the house unsurprisingly got a reputation for being haunted. It was abandoned, which by then suited Viveka just fine.<br />
<br />
Viveka's periods of coporeality and sentience had lengthened and her need for contact feeding dwindled to nothing. Once she began to exist off of ambient psychic energy alone she grew aggresively territorial, driving all curious trespassers from her house. Eventually her shape-shifting came under conscious control, and soon after she was permanently aware and physical. Finally she acquired a true form and named herself. This all took nearly two centuries to happen, and in that time as hobbies Viveka studied cooking and poisons. We assume that the fact she does not actually <i>eat</i> is why she thinks this is a logical pairing.<br />
<br />
Exceedingly few doppelgängers develop into fullly independent, sentient beings. Agency protocols state that those who reach this stage are offered either a place in the organization or imprisonment/termination. Viveka chose to join the Agency and was given medium-sized quarters for her use, which she filled with books and a something that is both a kitchen and a poisons lab. She now stays in her quarters unless she must leave for an assignment. Agents who visit her warn her in advance, and are greeted with fresh delicious pie and the newest batch of toxins for Main Lab. She does not have many visitors. <br />
<br />
In her true form Viveka appears as a waiflike human woman four and a half feet tall, with wild black hair, sallow skin, dark sunken eyes, and purplish lips. Her hands have long knobbled fingers ending in blackened claws. When she is out in public, she wears baggy pants, shirt, and a coat with deep pockets for her hands. She does not go out often; Viveka says that too many people too close give her indigestion. Having an adult doppelgänger to study has expanded our knowledge of the creatures. They retain their weakness to mirrors, for example, and while one will not kill Viveka, enough can cause her enough discomfort to end a shapeshift. The Agency's records also now show that adult doppelgängers can drain dangerous amounts of psychic energy if they use contact-feeding. Viveka, at least, uses this offensively. Between the claws and her psychic paratism, she is occasionally of great use to the Agency, though she is not recommended for diplomatic missions.<br />

<div>I simply adore these. Add a drop of vanilla extract, or some mint extract, or a host of the other available flavors, for a lovely variety. Put in a drop or two of food coloring in different batches and you have a pleasing multi-pasteled, multi-tasting array of puffs. Delightful.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I snip the tops off with some shears and drizzle caramel or chocolate sauce inside. Whipped cream is good too, the heavier the better...but then again I like my whipped cream thick enough to smother small rodents to death, so you may like it fluffier.<br />

Also, when whipping egg whites, it is best to use a bowl that has never held oils, and a copper one at that.<br />

However, because she's not familiar with her new shape, Vivy doesn't know how to use it effectively, so when she shapeshifts she loses her physical combat skills. On the other hand, she doesn't (generally) look quite so unsettling...<br />

<hr />
<div>===Background===<br />
<br />
Like poltergeists or children's imaginary friends, the doppelgänger belongs to the class of Others directly created by human minds. The specific circumstances of its creation are not as yet understood and the creatures are extremely rare. However, there is one in residence at the Agency. Her name is Viveka and she lives in Residential Room #144. This is the room with the two large signs reading "Do Not Disturb Without Clearance" and "Knock Loudly Before Entering."<br />
<br />
The word "doppelgänger" is of German derivation, and most seem to originate in that part of the world. It means "double-walker", and the newly formed doppelgänger is just that; a ghostly imitation of a living human. It is a nonlethal psychic parasite with a sort of umbilical to its maker. A new doppelgänger is insubstantial and not self-aware. Most do not survive. The most common failure is to manifest within sight of the host, so that observers utterly disbelieve in the illusion. The creature then discorporates entirely. Similarly, being presented with a mirror or other highly reflective surface can destroy the fragile creature; it casts no reflection and so perhaps disbelieves itself into oblivion... Discorporation is common, and because of this it's unusual for the Agency to need to deal with a doppelgänger.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, however, a doppelgänger survives this initial fragility and enters short periods of substance and thought, though most of its existence is still ghostlike. Viveka seems to have had minimal contact with her host, and after a few years she 'fledged' as she puts it, breaking the psychic umbilical. Choosing a newly built house as her territory, Viveka fed on the house's residents bylow-grade psychic draining via direct contact (usually done in the donor's sleep). After feeding she would temporarily have her meal's shape. A few generations passed and the house unsurprisingly got a reputation for being haunted. It was abandoned, which by then suited Viveka just fine.<br />
<br />
Viveka's periods of coporeality and sentience had lengthened and her need for contact feeding dwindled to nothing. Once she began to exist off of ambient psychic energy alone she grew aggresively territorial, driving all curious trespassers from her house. Eventually her shape-shifting came under conscious control, and soon after she was permanently aware and physical. Finally she acquired a true form and named herself. This all took nearly two centuries to happen, and in that time as hobbies Viveka studied cooking and poisons. We assume that the fact she does not actually <i>eat</i> is why she thinks this is a logical pairing.<br />
<br />
Exceedingly few doppelgängers develop into fullly independent, sentient beings. Agency protocols state that those who reach this stage are offered either a place in the organization or imprisonment/termination. Viveka chose to join the Agency and was given medium-sized quarters for her use, which she filled with books and a something that is both a kitchen and a poisons lab. She now stays in her quarters unless she must leave for an assignment. Agents who visit her warn her in advance, and are greeted with fresh delicious pie and the newest batch of toxins for Main Lab. She does not have many visitors. <br />
<br />
In her true form Viveka appears as a waiflike human woman four and a half feet tall, with wild black hair, sallow skin, dark sunken eyes, and purplish lips. Her hands have long knobbled fingers ending in blackened claws. When she is out in public, she wears baggy pants, shirt, and a coat with deep pockets for her hands. She does not go out often; Viveka says that too many people too close give her indigestion. Having an adult doppelgänger to study has expanded our knowledge of the creatures. They retain their weakness to mirrors, for example, and while one will not kill Viveka, enough can cause her enough discomfort to end a shapeshift. The Agency's records also now show that adult doppelgängers can drain dangerous amounts of psychic energy if they use contact-feeding. Viveka, at least, uses this offensively. Between the claws and her psychic paratism, she is occasionally of great use to the Agency, though she is not recommended for diplomatic missions.<br />
