I recently found Carmilla and watched the first two seasons over the course of a weekend. I don't think that was the best way to consume the series but it certainly inspired me and now I am going to attempt to write a third season. In theory, there will be 36 chapters with an ending and everything. Please let me know if I have any facts from the show confused or if I get past events wrong, because there's some stuff I don't remember since I watched it so quickly.
Thank you so much for talking the time to read this and I appreciate all comments and feedback. Enjoy!
When you're trapped in a series of catacombs that seem to be sentient and occasionally rearrange themselves, you have a lot of time to think. The last couple of months went by really quickly and I haven't had time to reflect on everything until now. And the thing I keep coming back to, the nagging thought that won't let me go, is Perry.
I can't talk to LaFontaine about this, they're rattled enough as it is. And Carmilla just wants us to lay low; she doesn't want me to indulge my "suicidal hero complex," as she puts it. So it looks like it's just you and me, dear viewer. Just like old times.
So. Perry.
I can't believe I didn't realize something was wrong. I'll admit, between Mattie and Vordenberg things got pretty chaotic. But Perry is my friend and we've lived together for months. How did I miss the signs? Especially the glaringly obvious signs, like when she made a death prophecy to Mattie. That she was even talking like that with Mattie should have been a warning! I can't say for sure what's happened to her, but I have a theory. Let's just say, I know through personal experience that Carmilla's mother is fine and dandy with inhabiting other people's bodies. Now the only thing I need is proof. And the best way to get it...
Carmilla is not going to like this. She hasn't let me or LaFontaine leave the catacombs in weeks. She's certainly not going to let me go back to the Dean's apartment, even if she came along. I could probably sneak out while she's getting herself something to eat, but that's pretty risky and I know she would lose her marbles if she found out. I'd ask LaFontaine for help, but something tells me they won't be thrilled about the nature of this mission.
This isn't ideal. Actually, this is completely messed up. Perry is so kind and thoughtful and nurturing and just...Perry. If she's still in there, somewhere, then I know she's afraid. Out of all of us she's taken our situation the hardest, even if she pretends to be alright. I can't leave her behind, not if the Dean has possessed her and is using her to carry about some dumb plot. This is something I have to do, even if it means Carmilla bites my head off.
Assuming I make it back.
