ID: a digital drawing of Michael Shelley from the Magnus archives prior to being merged with the Distortion. Michael is a thin white man wearing a green sweater and a white button down tucked into black and white high-waisted plaid pants. He has long curly blonde hair in a ponytail at the nape of his neck and his bangs are pinned back on the right side with two pink hairclips. His nails are painted pink. He has brown eyes and a septum piercing. He is holding open a bright yellow door, from which spills multicolored spiraling shapes. Behind the door is a lush jungle faded into bright green shapes. He is looking over his shoulder with a fearful and perplexed expression.
ID: Two digital drawings of Michael Shelley from the Magnus Archives after being merged with the Distortion. Michael is a thin blonde man with long limbs and very large hands swirled through with multicolored spiral patterns. His hair is long and takes up a majority of the image with hypnotic curls. Only half his face peeks from the top of the image, displaying a bright blue eye with a pink spiral in the middle. He is wearing a bright pink sweater with green, purple, blue and orange spirals, black pants with a grid-based optical illusion pattern, and a large 80s-style dangly earring that is blue with pink yellow and green flowers. He has a large smile and a septum piercing. The background is black with white spirals. Michael appears to be crammed into the image, his body folded awkwardly to fit. The second image is the same as the first except there are graphic glitches on his hands and pants and a spiraling glitch that obscures his face.
‘Michael’ tried to trick the woman several times since. He replaced the door to her apartment, but she dialed a friend’s number, asking to sleep the night there. He replaced the door to the entrance of the archive but she called in sick, and every time she turned her heels and walked away, pretending not to see him.
It was fun. For a while at least; but quickly it only irritated him more, and more than the constant avoidance of his traps it was the way she behaved as if he didn’t exist there, in her world, as if his long limbs couldn’t reach out to her and cut her throat clean if she refused to play along his tricks, as if he wasn’t a being much higher than her.
So, one day, 'Michael’ decided to play dirty.
He pretended not to be in her sight, observing her from afar as she kept looking over her shoulder, raising an eyebrow at the nothingness by her side. For a long while, this was their life, and the little woman named Sasha lived in her own routine once again, only hesitating for a few moments before opening a door.
'Michael’ once caught a glimpse of a documented file on her phone, covered with hundreds of door pictures from the magnus institutes entrance to the door of her own bathroom, and 'Michael’ laughed, mentally taking notes to perfect his fakes if he wished to finally deceive her clever little head.
‘Michael’ doesn’t think of humans as beings. There is no comparison either, as they call him an 'entity’, a 'god’ or a 'monster’ and he is neither of them, but really he shouldn’t have expected much from them to begin with. They can’t grasp what he really is, and to be honest, he doesn’t really understand what humans are either. All he knows is that they’re fragile, and meet their end very quickly.
And yet there are these… archivists. These humans who belong to the 'Eye’, and this girl, who stops by the same coffee shop on her way to work, every morning.
At first, he thought she’d be an easy prey, a winning edge on the 'Eye’ if he sas to capture one of its own, but it was nothing like it. If anything, the girl ended up being more of a challenge than he expected her to be.
First of all, she wasn’t afraid of him. She was wary of him, uneasy maybe, but she didn’t tremble in fear as he appeared in front of her, all limbs and distorted smiles sprayed around. Instead, the little Sasha narrowed her eyes at him and crossed her arms over her chest, and even though 'Michael’ could see her knuckles whitening she kept staring at him, at his untouched coffee, at his long limb and the smile he learnt later on was as ill-fitting as it could have been.
’You’re not human.’ She told him. She was right, and 'Michael’ kept smiling, and she took it as an answer.
She didn’t flee afterward. She didn’t ask questions either, she simply stared at him; and when 'Michael’ tried to trick her into walking through one of his doors, replacing the coffee shop’s entrance, she just shook her head and told him to ’go first’.

[Image Description: two colored drawings of Helen Richardson from The Magnus Archives. Both are three quarter view from the bust up. The left portrait is labeled “Helen Richardson” and shows a middle aged woman with tan skin and messy brown hair that goes to her shoulders and is starting to grey. She’s looking offscreen with an expression of frustration and fear. The right portrait is labeled “Helen” and shows the same woman, but she’s smiling and looking at the viewer. Her hair is curly with stylized spirals, and her eyes also have spirals in them. End Image Description]
