radical face - the dead waltz

#OC stuff #this is lilyanne; based off the daughter/girl featured in dead waltz #lily is the middle child of a large family and is as far as everyone knows; incredibly sickly and fragile and has been since birth #and the story is that she was a stillbirth but the dead took pity on her and gave her some lifeforce so she could experience life on earth #she can still commune with spirits and goes down to the local lake where they convene to communicate with them #however - this only happens at night when she's sleeping. consciously she doesnt remember any of it #but subconsciously she knows that on october 31st - the day of her 13th birthday - that the spirits will lead her back to the lake #and take her back home #i also have in mind the character of the neighbor guy. he's yknow. the neighbor and witnesses lilyanne sleep walking down to the lake #thats when he realizes she can talk and walk amongst the dead during her sleepwalking spells + why she's always been so deathly ill #and for him its a race against time to plead with the dead to not take lily back - to not take the girl he's grown to love as his own kid #and its supposed to be like. a thinly veiled metaphor on/commentary of the troubling emotions that come about when someone you know #is living on very borrowed time. and the strange grief that comes with seeing someone functional and thriving and not understanding how this #happy active person going about their daily life is rapidly approaching the event horizon of their illness #anyways .
