Post Twenty One: So this is a date

[witchofthechalk]

[Tiffany glanced around the car she's just appeared in, quickly scanning the surrounding area.

She appeared to be in one of those "cars" , she wasn't wearing her normal clothes or hat and ....there was someone next to her.

It also appeared that the door wouldn't open.]



Crivens

[She turned back to look at the boy next to her]

I think we're stuck.

[He's still trying to get the door open, but no avail.

He then turns back to the girl.]

I believe so. Everything seems to be locked and I doubt breaking the windows would work.

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

Wonderful.

[Glancing in front of them to the movie and shakes her head.]

This seems like an odd trick even for this place.

[She looks over at the strange boy and nods in greeting]

My name is Tiffany Aching.

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

I'm Iceland. Nice to meet you, Tiffany.

[He looks over at the movie showing.]

I wonder what's playing.

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

I'm not sure. We don't have movies where I come from so I haven't seen very many.

[Wait]

Ice-land? Are you a country as well?

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

Yes. I suppose you're familiar with the idea?

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

Yes, England is my father here. And I suppose France is my little brother now as well.

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

...I see.

[England's "daughter" and France's "sister"...but mostly England's daughter...

Did you hear that sound just now Tiffany? That was a little island nation's soul dying a little bit.]

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

....are you alright?

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm perfectly fine. Why would you ask?

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

Because you seemed a little distressed when I mentioned I was Englands daughter.

[Witches, you cannot trick them]

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

Distressed? Surely you were mistaken.

[DENIAL.]

He and I aren't on good terms for the time being.

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

I don't think I was.

Why is that?

[Being nosey is one of the best parts of being a witch.]

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

It's because of a war we're in back home.

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

A war?

[She...was not expecting that.]

Why are you at war?

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

...





...disagreements over fisheries.

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

The two of you went to war over fish?

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

Ridiculous, isn't it? He was the one who kept getting angry every time I tried to expand my fishing zones.

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

[....mental face palm]

He really is the most stubborn person I have ever met.

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

I agree. He was just as stubborn as a child too.

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

You knew him as a child?

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately. Denmark wanted to make him part of the family once upon a time. He cried a lot and kept saying how much he hated me.

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

....what do you mean by "make him part of the family"?

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

Basically Denmark wanted to adopt England as a little brother.

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

And he didn't want to be adopted?

[Wait]

....how do you even adopt a country?

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

By invading them. Or you find them.

...I'm not too sure on the entire thing. It's not like I've tried it myself or anything.

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

So he didn't want to be your brother...because you invaded his land?

....if that's the case I can see why he might be a little hostile to the idea. Especially if he was a kid.

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

I can see so too. I didn't understand it much at the time since I was a kid.

...He's not going to be mad at you if he finds out you were stuck in a car with me, is he?

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

I see.

....

[Crivens...He's going to kill her]

....he's not going to be happy I was stuck in a car with a boy.

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

That's not good. Maybe if you explain to him that it's the town's fault...?

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

I'll try to.

He told me I'm not allowed to date till I'm 70.

[Wry smile at that]

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

He might have been joking about that.

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

[Raised eyebrow]

England?

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

[Thinking about it for a minute.]

...Never mind.

[Turns back to the movie to catch the sight of a blob attacking people. Was that a slight wince? Possibly.]

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

[Looks back at the screen]

Is this a normal movie?

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

If you call a big blob attacking people normal, then sure.

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

Why would a blob attack people?

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

Probably because whoever wrote the plot line thought it would scare the viewer.

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

That makes sense.

[Looking back at the screen]

It doesn't look very frightening though.

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah...not frightening at all...

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

[Glances over and figures she might as well distract him from the movie.]

Have you been stuck in Mayfield long?
