Anyway. I'm trying to see Garrison and Kalisha more clearly lately. I know Garry has a "Greek nose," I think? It's long and rather thin, and straight in profile. His hair is closely shaved, as is his beard, but I'm not 100% sure on the styling yet. I'm trying to sketch his face correctly atm so if I succeed, I will share it here.
As for Kalisha, I actually found a photo of Nicki Minaj that matched her hair almost perfectly, so I sketched her over it here. So that worked!
I'm also working on their Subeta avatars, and Kalisha was helping Laurie and I put hers together-- via handwritten messages, mostly. I've been wondering about that for a while; in working with the other data voices, she tends to be the one leaning over a huge mountain of papers on a table, sifting through them with speed and precision to find whatever is needed at the moment. But she rarely ever talks. It's not selective mutism as far as I can tell; she just doesn't like to speak aloud. (She doesn't really need to either; she loves her silent job, and Garrison & Isadora talk enough on their own!) So she simply talks in writing if she must (she has really lovely cursive handwriting).
In other news, I finally listened to the voice recorder files from last month, around the time we were all kicking healing into high gear. The huge one from Laurie is already transcribed here, but there are also ones from Lynne, Josephina, Spice, and Zwei that I didn't write yet. Plus there's also a 30-minute file of me talking about Huxley's Island, and the profound impact it had on me again as a result of now knowing Infinitii so closely. I don't even remember recording that, which isn't too surprising-- I was in an emotionally moved state, which are typically positively dissociative (as in, I tend to "zone out" but keep talking perfectly lucidly; it's almost like channeling).
But I'm wondering, should I upload those audio files somewhere? I'd have to pay for a Soundcloud to hold that much data, but it could be really cool. Hearing members of our System SPEAK is really incredible, especially because they don't even have to announce themselves for me to know who I'm hearing-- even though we all use the same voice, different people speak with their own energetic impacts and styles, and that is fascinating to listen to.
Anyway, that's all for tonight; I need to finish typing up the events of the past few days before I go to sleep (because it's been gorgeous inside lately), but rest assured, life is going very well right now. There is a lot of light in us lately, and I don't think it's ever going away.

Finally, done!
These are Subeta-styled avatars for our three "Archivist" members-- Kalisha, Garrison, and Isadora.
Their colors are Peach, Ocean, and Mauve, respectively, and they all deal with internal data management, especially in maintaining coherence between fronters.
They sometimes work with Sherlock, but for the most part they're just an inseparable trio.
Kalisha is a pro at finding needed information in a snap, Garrison is the one who actively communicates that info to other members, and Isadora is good at posing questions about that info to find details that everyone else missed or overlooked.
They are also, miraculously, three of the only members who survived Cannon's brutal attack on the System on December 27th. So we owe them a lot, as they essentially kept what was left together until Central eventually recovered.
