TheLadyLazarus Series Review - The Lady Lazarus
On December 12th, 2006 a video account was created, with a message and a poem of the same name. It's a simple story, really. But certain people complicated that story, and soon it became so much more.
Double L created a series of 10 videos using the poem "Lady Lazarus" to send a message to the Order; that they couldn't have their ceremony girl. But they were persistent, and found themselves a new girl named Beatrice.
LL knew B well, they had grown up in the same community, and she needed his help to escape the Order. But Double L had problems of his own.
Another girl, named L, sought out Lazarus, and he reluctantly agreed to meet her.
From this "GuillotineCalamity" he learned about a strange mask her grandfather owned, and how he would be using it an upcoming ceremony.
It would be years before they would meet again, and it would be years before LL found out that Cassie was also once wanted for a ceremony, and had even tried to steal this mask.
LL knew from the beginning that OpAphid was responsible for Cassie's death.
After meeting L a second time he realized where her loyalties lied, and they never met again. And as Double L's visions of Cassie worsened, B gave into her worst fears, and commited suicide.
Lady Lazarus gave his two girls code names; Cassie was Coma White, and Beatrice was Coma Black.
Cassie believed heavily in the tarot. Beatrice believed heavily in revolution.
I hope we all learn from her mistake.
