Post TwentyFour: A Warning

[witchofthechalk]

[Flitered from drones/Grady/etc]

Considering the recent events I believe we should prepare ourselves. I don't know who was here the last time the town decided to punish us, after the riots. But if you remember, people were killed and we were told it was commited by other people among us.

They wanted to divide us and I wouldn't be surprised if they try to do that again. Not the exact same thing as before but something to make us doubt each other. Please keep that in mind for the future.

Well said.

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

Thank you. I'm hoping some people will remember if the town tries to make us fear each other again.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Good luck with that. Stressed out people don't think the best.

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

No they don't really.

Makes my job all the more difficult.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm rootin' for ya!

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

Thank you.

I'm Tiffany Aching by the way.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Hi Tiffany, I'm Ken. I've heard you over the phones but this is the first time we've talked. It's nice to meetcha.

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

It's nice to meet you as well.

Yes, the telephones are rather strange that way. It's been a year but I still think these things are quite strange.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Well, it could be worse. But I still prefer just talking to people.

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

So do I. You don't get the same things out of a conversation if you are not face to face with them.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly! A friend of mine doesn't believe me, but he talks to most people over the internet so I guess he prefers non face to face.

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

....the internet? What's that?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Oh, you don't have that in your world? It's kinda like...oh...[He has to think about this for a minute]

Er, it's kinda like a text based phone line.

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

.....

A phone line?

...we don't have electricity in my world...

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Well, like we're talking now, over the phone, but with words on a screen like the TV.

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

....so you talk to people through the screen...but with writing?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I don't use it much myself but he does quite a bit. I swear that boy's part computer sometimes.

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

Strange.

Do you know how it works?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Not really, I was never much into computers. I think some of the other people around here would be able to tell you a lot more then I can.

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

Good to know. Thank you for the warning.

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

You're welcome. I'm hoping if we remember that what they want us to do is divide our forces, we might avoid doing so.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I was going to say something similar. I'm glad you said it though.

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

[She nods. Taking her witches hat off.]

We try to keep people from panicking as witches. Trying to remind people to keep level heads is hard when they're already in hysterics. I'm hoping that getting to them a little earlier will help.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I think it's an excellent idea. The more calm we are, then the better chance we have of getting what we want.

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

And less likely to believe the town when they tell us to mistrust each other.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Yes. I certainly hope so.

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

....I'm hoping they don't repeat the last time they punished us.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Or anything worse, for that matter.

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

.....yes. I'm sure they could come up with much worse if they wished to.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Let's just hope that they don't.

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

Perhaps they aren't as creative as we are.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

If we divide any more, we may as well start forming the two camps now. It sounded more like an empty threat, to be honest.

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

They said something similar last time they decided to start killing us off. I'm hoping some people might listen to reason before panicking this time.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

Succumbing to panic is a bit like catching the flu. No one thinks they'll fall prey until they wake up one morning shivering and light-headed with the contents of their stomachs evacuating out both ends.

It's good of you to try, though.

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

Someone has to. It might as well be me.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

Let's just cross that bridge when we get to it. I'm sure you'll do admirably, but I'm not too sure about the rest of the town.

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

I'm hoping a few people will remember to think before they act.

....I don't think many will.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

People never seem to do.

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

No.

Last time things were quite chaotic. England wouldn't let me leave the house after Sophie was killed.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

And we can see how well that plan turned out this time. It's relatively more protection, I suppose.

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

Yes. He tends to be rather over protective at times.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

He's a good man. We met briefly the other day.

[A simple compliment, but from Susan, it means a great deal.]

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

Did you?

[That's because he isn't trying to make your curfew 2pm.]

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

You . . . Were you aware that the Russian was in your house for a few hours earlier?

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

Oh yes. I found out about it.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

I paid your house a visit when I found out.

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

I see.
