Second Post: Looking for Feegles

[witchofthechalk]

Well at least I'm thinking clearly now. 

[She's holding onto the telephone, it seems the best thing to get her message across]



Has anyone seen a large group of small blue men around?



They're very noisy and are probably stealing something, drinking or fighting. Or a combination of all three.

No, I can't seem to find them anywhere.

[She's rather irrtated about this]

I thought they'd be here by now.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Are they your chums, then?

W-well, I hope you're not lonely without them.

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

More like self-appointed protectors.

[There's a pause]

It would be nice to have them around though.

What about you. You mentioned something about fairies. Did any of yours show up?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Oh! Oh, well--mine--I'm sure they're just hiding or something! B-Bloody tricksters, right? Ahahahahaha! AHAHAHAHAhahaha!

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

Are you alright?

[Second thoughts-that probably means no.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

O-of course I'm all right, don't be daft. I'm not... not lonely or anything.

But--But since you're lonely, I suppose I can accompany you for a bit.

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

Alright then.
[She supposed it will be easier with two people]

Do you think they have a pub here?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Wh-why would you think I know? I-I'm not the sort of daft drunkard to... to get bloody smashed or anything, and I certainly wouldn't... wouldn't have so much intimacy with that sort... sort of thing--

There's a few bars here or there.

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

[Okay...defensive...]

The Feegles have a tendincy to drink. [Tiffany replied, not commenting on the outburst] I was thinking they might be at a pub if they were here.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Haven't seen anyone of that description when I was there--outside. Outside there. Looking in.

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

Oh.

[She looks a little dissapointed]

Well, I'm still going to look around the town. Find out where things are.

[Besides it would be good to know her way around the place]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[A-awkward shoulder pat. So comforting.]

Well, of course I have to go with you. Not safe for a young girl to go out alone.

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

[The words, I am a witch are just on her tongue when she almost sighes.]

Alright then.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Right! Right, then. Quite.

What... what would you like to see first? Err... Well, it wouldn't be proper to take you around the pubs.

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

I'm not really sure. I haven't had a chance to look around much. [It was just so...strange]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

What... What do girls like...?

Ah! Perhaps fish? W-we could stop by the market, then, and buy some fresh fish. I'm sure Sophie and Nanako would be delighted--fish for dinner, all that. I'll cook it myself!

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

There's a market here?

[She looks interested]


Alright.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[so happy]

Right! Right, then, make sure you grab your jacket. It might get cold.

If... If there's anything other than fish that you'd like, I'm sure that would be fine, too.

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

I'll be fine.

What do markets sell around here?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Plain sorts of food, nothing really spectacular. Cans and jars of things, and the useful tidbits here or there. Are... Are you too old for toys? They sell those--too--

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

Toys?

Yes, I am thirteen.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

So you'd still like wooden soldiers and all that, right? And old enough for taxes--

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

I have a few at home. [Well they're more like her brothers]

[She catches that last bit]

Nanny Ogg says witches don't have to pay taxes.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Well... if you were a fairy, you wouldn't have to pay taxes.

But that's good! That's very good, a few toys it is. And... yes, perhaps some mathematics and astronomy textbooks, as well. That's all the rage these days for children, isn't it?

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

[She choses to ignore the fairy bit however her attention is caught with the word books. She looks quite interested]

They have places that sell books here?
