Fresh Cheese for sale

 

Tiffany is sitting on the lawn with her pointed hat on as she reads a book. It appears to be a history text book and she's making notes in a notebook to the side.]

A few people have stopped by. A young witch who believes she knows the "proper" way of being a witch.

[She chuckles]

I sold some cheese though.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

May I purchase some cheese?

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

[She smiles]

Of course. I made it this morning. It's quite fresh.

[Goes off for a moment and then comes back with a reasonable amount of cheese wrapped in a cloth. It's quite good cheese.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

It looks like quite good cheese.

How much is it?

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

Two dollers.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

A good price, I'm sure.

[pays up!]

Though I'm not sure what you'd want to buy in this town, really.

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

[Takes the money]

I wasn't really intersted in the money. I just felt like being useful.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[Munch munch munch]

Cheese is always useful.

What are you reading?

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

[nodds]

It is. I was in charge of making it at home.

[Holds book up, it's English History]

History book.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Homework for school?

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

No I was interested in the history of this world.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Why's that?

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

It's facinating.
Most of our history, we only learned from the travelling teachers. And we don't have very many books. This world seems to love writing down it's past for others to read.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

You could have just asked me, you know. America's books only talk about America, I would think.

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

Most of them do.

I found some that were about other places as well.

This ones about your land. [Holds up her book]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Why didn't you just ask me, then?

I think I'd know my own history.

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

...I didn't think of that. I was looking for the history of all the places in this world when I found this one.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I can tell you whatever you'd like to know.

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

So you've been alive as long as the land has been there? Or when people started calling the land England?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

The people, I suppose.

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

[She nodds]

And you represent them and the land....

[Looks over]

Can you tell me about your history then?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Anything in particular?

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

I'm not sure what. I've only just started to flip through. It has a lot of history.

[Looks thoughtfull as she flips through the book. There are a few pictures here and there. She stops at another Kings picture]

Were you always ruled by Kings?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Well, I was tossed around a bit when I was a child. But the idea of a monarchy was very strong back then and all that.

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

I see.

At home we just have the Baron. But we're a very small place.

...

Did you have witches?
