Post Twenty Six: .....Time Skip

[witchofthechalk]

 [Forward dated to Friday morning. Did you enjoy your 24 hours of droned Tiffany household? I'm guessing no. Anyway while you were sleeping all the photo's changed and you'll notice your daughter looks a bit older. And when she wakes up this morning she notices she's back in this place. Not family feel free to hear her talking to herself in her room.]

-again. I can't believe they would just drag me back here.

[A pause]

Actually I can believe that. In fact I'm surprised they didn't drag me off before this. At least everyone at home should be fine without me for a while....though if time doesn't pause I hope someone remembers that Mrs.Lawson needs her bandages changed....

[And after a moment there is a teenage witch exploring the house to see how long she was gone. Feel free to have been listening at her door the entire time.]

[Phone call. Tiffany sounds a bit older now to anyone who knew her.]

Well that was a nice three years away from this place. Though I've been told it's only been a day here....time certainly works oddly in this place.

No matter. For those who didn't know me, I am Tiffany Aching, witch of the Chalk. I'm not sure if anyone knows what a witch from the Discworld does but I thought I'd offer my services up anyway since I'm going to have a great deal more free time here.

... Nothing.

How did you grow so quickly?

[sveariket.livejournal.com]

H' 's tiny.

[She might not be able to hear spill words yet England but she's quite sure she could figure that one out.]

The same way everyone does. A year at a time.

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

Not any more. You must be from a different time from him. I know France was confused why England was so big. England was rather confused why France was so small as well.

[sveariket.livejournal.com]

Th' live t'gether? [Cautious.]

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

The town assigns us houses here. Right now they think England is Frances father.

[sveariket.livejournal.com]

[he can't manage to imagine England as anyone's father. it just does not work. Not the England that he knows.]

's that so.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

I wonder why that happens...

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

I suppose this town just enjoys messing with our heads.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

I suppose...

What happened to you, then? You sound older.

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

I am. Three years older. I'm 16 now.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

16...

Did you learn any more witch things?

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

A few things actually. I'm not in training any more either.

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

You should come over and see him sometime.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

So you're a real witch now!

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

Yes.

They even said I could start training other girls if I wanted to now.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Really? Maybe you'll find someone here.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

You're probably right.

I suppose I'll be seeing you in my more advanced class, now?

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

Maybe. People here seem to have a rather strange view of what witchcraft is supposed to be though.

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

....

Oh right. I'd forgotten I'd have to go to school here.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

Try to sound more enthusiastic. School is a place to expand the limits of your knowledge and to broaden your horizons or some drivel like that.

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

I never went to school when I was at home.

I don't think I'll be learning anything useful there.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Really? Why?

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

Well I suppose it isn't just here. But people seem to think that witchcraft is all about magic. Flashy effects and things that go boom.

Most of my days are spent looking after sick people and helping people solve their problems. In fact to be a witch you have to know that magic shouldn't be used when hard work and logic can solve the problem.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

Perhaps not useful, but I suppose some basic knowledge of American history can't hurt, in light of recent events.

You do recall everything that happened before you left?
