Dark Renaissance
A nice little poem about this lovely dark age that has fallen upon Amestris. (Sprinkled with a hit of T.S. Eilot and romantism inside.) Song Recommended: "Color Me Blood Red" by Malice Mizer

Dark Renaissance:
Simone's Notes:
The Renaissance was a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Florence in the Late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe. The term is also used more loosely to refer to the historic era, but since the changes of the Renaissance were not uniform across Europe, this is a general use of the term. As a cultural movement, it encompassed a resurgence of learning based on classical sources, the development of linear perspective in painting, and gradual but widespread educational reform. Traditionally, this intellectual transformation has resulted in the Renaissance being viewed as a bridge between the Middle Ages and the Modern era. Although the Renaissance saw revolutions in many intellectual pursuits, as well as social and political upheaval, it is perhaps best known for its artistic developments and the contributions of such polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who inspired the term "Renaissance man". There is a general, but not unchallenged, consensus that the Renaissance began in Florence, Tuscany in the 14th century. Various theories have been proposed to account for its origins and characteristics, focusing on a variety of factors including the social and civic peculiarities of Florence at the time; its political structure; the patronage of its dominant family, the Medici; and the migration of Greek scholars and texts to Italy following the Fall of Constantinople at the hands of the Ottoman Turks. The Renaissance has a long and complex historiography, and there has been much debate among historians as to the usefulness of Renaissance as a term and as a historical delineation. Some have called into question whether the Renaissance was a cultural "advance" from the Middle Ages, instead seeing it as a period of pessimism and nostalgia for the classical age, while others have instead focused on the continuity between the two eras. Indeed, some have called for an end to the use of the term, which they see as a product of presentism - the use of history to validate and glorify modern ideals. The word Renaissance has also been used to describe other historical and cultural movements, such as the Carolingian Renaissance and the Renaissance of the 12th century.
The Angels from the Heavens Sing Out:
Mighty Amestris has fallen!
A new dark era has fallen upon the people!
Woo to the people,
Red Jasmines have given them eyes that cannot see.
The red swirls in their eyes like a wild dust storm.
The internal beasts known as lust
Slowly claw their way out to this
Dark brave new world.
The Fallen Ones gather to feast upon
The devil's fruit known as human blood.
Virgin flesh fills their loins,
But they are never full.
The hunger keeps growing and growing.
It gets worse and worse.
They always want more.
The monster inside of them
Keeps getting bigger and bigger.
It does not know how to stop.
The Fallen Ones are blind slaves to their monsters.
They are hollow, yet they are stuffed.
Manami knows this,
Yet, she lets it be so.
They are all for her Dark Renaissance.
Her Dark Birth.
Act three has now begun.
Human kind with agonize
With its desires.
They will consume and consume.
But it will never be enough.
The hunger keeps growing and spreading
Along with the Red Jasmine.
Yet, the blossom is not the only worry.
Its pollen will finalize everything in its path.
One breath and everything is over.
Purity will be powerless against tainted desire.
Half-breed babes will drink their spoiled mother's milk.
They will rise up and poison.
Those that they poison;
Will rise up and poison.
Manami cycles keeps going all the while.
She gets stronger each and every day.
The princess still has a long way to go before
She ascends to her throne over this
Dark Brave New World.
She still has work to do before
Her mother's kingdom can shine high in
Pride.
The second half of the show begins
Right...
Now.
Her story begins
Right about...
Now
Manami awoke the next morning lying beside of Edward and feeling hungry for more blood and sex.
Next Night
Next Time: Manami gives Edward and more of the pets her sexy poison.
