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.

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.

[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.

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

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

[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.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

I see. Fairy magic doesn't make things go boom, but...

[A pause.] But you said people burn witches where you're from. But why do they do that if you're useful?

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

Because they're scared of us. We can do magic and they don't understand what that is or how it's possible.

A witch is different from people. We have to be. But because of that people fear us at times and when things get a little too bad...they tend to turn on us.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Oh...

[She knows how that is.]

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

Luckily witches tend to be good at surviving.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

So am I.

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

Always a good skill to have.
