Post TwentyThree:....so many dronings.

[witchofthechalk]

[Tiffany is having a rough month. She thought things were getting better now that Sophie was back but then Al was droned and then his brother and now....You can find Tiffany in a few places.

A. Coming out of Nanny's house, looking withdrawn and slightly miserable.

B. At home, in her room, door closed and locked./England is the worlds greatest role model on how to deal with emotional problems.

C. Walking through the town with her school books. She's quiet and you might just walk into her. She's rather hard to see at the moment.]

It's locked.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Is something the matter, Tiffany?

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

.....

[There is a long....long pause.]

....she's gone.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

...who?

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

....

Nanny.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Nan-

...oh. Oh, Tiffany. I'm so sorry.

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

...Al's gone too. And so's his brother.

[It's clear though it's Nanny leaving that really hurts her though.]

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

...I heard about that.

May I come in?

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

.....why.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

It's hard to comfort someone through a locked door.

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

......

[Fine. She goes over to open the door. Sophie will find Tiffany looks rather lifeless and sad. She's moved back to sitting on the bed.]

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

[She walks in and closes the door behind her.]

Is there anything I can do to help? I'm sure there isn't much...but I'll do what I can.

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

.....

She's a drone.

[And it's said softly. As though she hadn't heard what you said.]

She doesn't laugh properly, or tell stories about all her kids...she doesn't even know she's a witch.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I know it's hard to see...but perhaps it means that she has gone home?

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

.....

Why did they have to leave....that drone here then.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

...I don't know.

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

[Just sits, and holds her legs close to her.]

....She told me magic didn't exist. Her drone thought I was insulting her when I said she was a witch.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

[She sits down next to her.]

You know it's not really her saying those things. We both know she never would.

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

....I know.

It's like her shell. She's just not inside anymore.

...It just looks like her and sometimes sounds like her.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I know how hard it is...

It gets a little better with time.

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

....

I thought it was hard to see Rob...

But, it was just so ...I can tell it's not him. It thinks it's a dog.

Nanny....Nanny can still talk to me.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it would be best if you avoid the drone for now?

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

....I think that would be for the best.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Is there anything I can do to help you feel better?

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

.....

[She lets out a breath.]

...I.

[....]

probably should try to take my mind off of it.

[The do you you know how? Is silently asked.]
