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.

You didn't remember?

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

Not a thing.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

That does happen with old age. Or perhaps it's simply the town being . . . the town.

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

I'm rather hoping old age doesn't start at 13. I'm rather inclined to believe it's the town.

[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]

....

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.

[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?

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

....yes I suppose that is true.

Yes and luckily my journal was still here so I reread that to get back up to date.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

Good. I wouldn't have had the patience to describe everything again.

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

I doubt much has changed but did anything happen in the day I was gone?

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

We discovered the secret to escaping the town hidden in subliminal messages in the newspaper advertisement.

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

Oh dear, and I'd been so sure it was hidden in the books in the library too.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, an amnesia boulder fell from the sky after that and crushed half the town into oblivion while the rest of us forgot everything we'd learned.

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

I hate when that happens.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

It's one of the lesser known natural disasters, yes, but equally tragic. It slips under the radar somehow.

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

Yes, I suppose it's the Amnesia that does that.

[deaths-heritor.livejournal.com]

A very sensible conclusion.
