yo!!! This is Kates, player of one Cornelius Hickey, here with another absolute piece of garbage. This is Dorian Gray, from The Confessions of Dorian Gray, an audio drama canon that absolutely nobody has heard of unless I've rped with you or you're knee deep into the audio drama side of Doctor Who (these canons share a production company!). the cliff notes of CODG is 'what if at the end of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian didn't bite it and instead lived on and had monster of the week style adventures with soooo much supernatural bullshit, presented in half hour audio dramas.'

Dorian himself sucks. truly, he sucks. he's a consummate liar and narcissistic, self-absorbed jackass who's main priorities will be 'how do I get my immortality back' and 'how the fuck do I get out of bumfuck nowhere Canada.' as I've taken him from a canon point where he recently killed three people to come back to life, who's ready for some poor choices in trying to accomplish those goals! this canon point is also 2014 so enjoy this relatively modern guy who has no clue what the fuck a tiktok is.

Here is his app, here is his permissions post, and here is his opt-out post. Please take a glimpse at the opt-out post! This is an obscure canon and it's also a canon that takes full advantage of the audio medium to fuck things up in super gross ways. as always, feel free to bug me on plurk or discord @ allikateor!

[pursuitspecial]

MAN, I really miss audio dramas (or comedies! Cabin Pressure I'm looking right atcha) and also 2014, so thank you for the inadvertent rec! Dunno what your guy and my uncivilized feral apocalypse man could get up to, but always down for plotting! But also Hickey?! Low key longing for the king bullshitter to meet the king of no-nonsense.

[brushoff]

yoooo, Hickey would look at the Mad Max wasteland and all the bullshit that Max and Furiosa have to deal with and be like "nah, I get it, survival fuckin sucks, you do what you have to do" and then immediately try to get Max to join his cult

so yes!!! absolutely!!! I will tag you with either one of my guys!!

[pursuitspecial]

Lmaoooo when even Hickey is like "yeah, that DOES sound like it sucks. Anyway do you have time to hear the good word about my cult?" Max having just escaped being absorbed by cult in his world only to come here with this little rat man pitching his own smh. I'm actually dead curious how this will go so rest assured a meeting between these two WILL occur!

[brushoff]

if it helps, Hickey's cult has 100% less horrific sexual assault! still the potential for cannibalism but look, you take what you can get.

[pursuitspecial]

Less marriage to a tyrant, same or higher potential for cannibalism. It's the apocalypse, we can't be too picky! What's his flavor of cult?

[brushoff]

So one of the aurora gifts is that people can turn into wolves. Hickey's absolutely got an idea of "let's form a wolf pack" and is absolutely keeping some of his weirder thoughts about being wolves under wrap.

and thankfully due to Hickey's stupid little fake cosmology, you don't have to be a wolf to join the wolf pack!

[pursuitspecial]

"keeping some of his weirder thoughts about being wolves under wrap" okay but now i'm absolutely desperate to know how weird these slant and can't wait to find out!!

[fidior]

I'm so glad we can ALWAYS count on Kates to bring in Questionable Men and I can't wait to see what this dude gets up to here! Always down to torment Nedward's dumb gullible ass with any of your characters but I also think Kostya could be fun to toss his way, too — he's definitely pretty self-absorbed and would do Questionable Things to survive, he just tries to hide the worst parts of himself from others under a real big smile :) He also puts all his self-worth into his physical appearance, Dorian literally selling his soul to stay young and hot is such a big damn mood okay

[brushoff]

real winners hide their terrible nature under a fake exterior!

But yesss I am absolutely up for Dorian and Kostya! Dorian's a sucker for people who he finds interesting so the moment he learns about the cosmonaut thing, he's going to be bugging the SHIT out of Kostya, talk to him about space pleeeease.

[shoving]

So Bruce might show up in the church to steal the first Bruce's supplies.

[brushoff]

Dorian will happily let him do so but be purposefully obnoxious the entire time because don't look at him, he's just your average normal art dealer party boy, nothing suspicious here

I absolutely love their tdm thread and am 100% for keeping these two fucking LIARS just lying at each other going into the game.

[shoving]

Yesss. True friends absolutely lie to each other regularly. So this can only end well.

[brushoff]

only besties lie about fundamental things like their identity.

[desperate_times_right]

I don't know how they'd get along but I would love for Chloe to get to hear the haunted cocaine story.

[brushoff]

So Dorian's trying to keep all his dumb supernatural stories under the radar for now.....HOWEVER, he also got cocaine as one of his items from home and Chloe can just as easily find him having a really weird trip where he tells her that story.

"the cocaine had demons in it" "uhhhhh sure buddy, let's get you inside and get you some water."

[desperate_times_right]

Crying... She thought Lalo hallucinating yetis everywhere was bad…

[brushoff]

get better friends, bb

want me to make a starter for them?

[desperate_times_right]

Absolutely impossible.

Re: the starter, sounds good!

[brushoff]

here you go!!
