Post Nine: Dance?

[witchofthechalk]

What is this dance thing everyone's talking about now. I didn't think we had any lords here to throw balls.

[And she's not even going to ask about Morris dances....bad memories.]

Lords throwing balls? ...That sounds like something out of a fairy tale!

The school's hosting it.

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

Yes. I've read quite a few of them. They're not very accurate about most things but Roland told me that rich people throw balls as much as they do in the stories.

[pencilpremonition]

Well no, fairy tales aren't supposed to be -true-, that's what makes them good stories!

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

Tell that to the portrayl of witches in all the stories. They're always wicked and because of that people just assume a witch is evil.

[pencilpremonition]

...witches aren't real.

Where I live, I mean. Where I live, witches aren't real.

...Are you a witch?

Yeah, there's a St. Patrick's dance goin' on at the school! S'not a ball or anythin' fancy like that-- just a school dance.

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

St. Patrick? Who's that?

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

Some Irish chap who chased all the snakes out of Ireland. Y'celebrate by wearin' green. And gettin' pissed, but there'll be none of that at the dance, mind!

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

No one will be wearing green at the dance?

[lasersallover.livejournal.com]

It's a dance, not a ball.

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

So I've been told.

And it's being held at a school?

[lasersallover.livejournal.com]

Yep! You gonna come?

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

I don't know, this is the first I've heard of it.

....and I've never been to one before.

Also I don't think England wants me to go.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

A... dance.

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

Yes, that's what they've been telling me.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Well, it's a good thing that you aren't planning on going.

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

I didn't even know we were having one.

[hourai-branch.livejournal.com]

Who needs lords to have a party!

And if you do need a noble, I'm a princess.

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

Oh, a party. I see. I thought this was a formal event.

[Parties=/=dances to her]

You are a princess?

[hourai-branch.livejournal.com]

But parties are formal events!

I am. Kaguya Houraisan, princess-in-exile of the Lunarian Kingdom.

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

Not the ones I've been to. [Small town parties...]

[Bows even though you can't see her]

I am Tiffany Aching, witch of the Chalk.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Are you planning to attend?

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

I might. England is telling me otherwise though.

[Mommy please speak to daddy :P]

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Is he, now? I should have known he would.

[She'll try. D:]

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

Yes. He seems to think I should stay home.
