Post Six: Trying Out An Old Skill

[witchofthechalk]

[If you are walking by 1670 Nelson street you'll see a strange sight. There is a small girl with a witches pointed hat sitting on the grass. She is wearing some large sensible boots that seem out of place with her normal outfit.

Oh and she also appears to be dead.
However if you look closer you can see a sign clutched in her hands that reads

I am not dead!

Approach?]

Y-you're alive!

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Startles beyond belief as she's hugged.]

Y..yes.

[1/3]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Y... You're alive! You're alive! Oh, blo... Bloody hell, you're... and... You're... Bloody hell, it's... fu... fuck it all, but... you're really alive, and--

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Never do that again.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

You're alive.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

....I had a sign you know.

I was just testing out the borrowing powers I got back.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Well, it's... I still worry, you idiot.

... Borrowing?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

I'll make sure to tell you the nect time I try it then. [Or hide when doing it.]

It's when you leave your body. Witches use it to borrow the minds of animals. I was trying to see if it worked on the animals here.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Does it work?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Yes actually. I was just borrowing the mind of a squirrel in the backyard.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Well... I'm not sure if I like you doing this.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Why?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Because you appear dead.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Holds up the sign]

That's what this is for.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

It still gives the impression.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Yes, mostly because I'm not actually in my body at the time.

And it's not very dangerous since I'm much better at it then I was before. [Stupid Hiver]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I still don't want you doing it if you don't have to.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

It is a useful way to get information.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Like what?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

People don't notice small animals and when you're borrowing their mind you can hear and see everything they do.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

So you've been spying.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

No but I was thinking about it.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

On who?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

The people in charge here. I'd like to get more information about why they brought us here. And how we can get back home.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

That's dangerous and I forbid it.

Also, it's impolite.
