A Simple Tryst of Fates (Part 2)

Head lice and dandruff are kid's play when compared to our poor fellow here, but according to any run of the mill oracle, this process was not only necessary, but de rigueur in classical antiquity... you couldn't be seen without it. Here we have our three fates busily fashioning out yet another lifespan: Morta is now cutting at a more appropriate spot while maintaining her far-right staging. Decima measures away on top, and Nona spins on. I can't help but wonder exactly what Decima does with the life cord after Morta has made her cut (?) one assumes that she continues to measure and pull, and ends up with the other end. Does the fellow keel over once the cord is cut? Will she then coil it up like a garden hose and place it neatly on his face? Does it get used as a belt for their gowns? Perhaps when no one is watching the three of them jump rope with it...? These are serious concerns of which I shan't do a thing about.

The gesture of Decima's arms and posture below will likely be adapted to the final as it pulls the viewer up and through the composition better than the more finished image. This was a prelim to the prelim above.
