[There is a teenage girl knocking at your door. Yes your door.....unless you are Teatime. She's wearing a witches hat and carrying a bag in her hands.]

Oh. [ Her expression dims a bit, as she wiggles her fingers. Then she laughs. ] I guess I'll have to keep being careful! [ Except later she'll totally take the cast off early... ]

About three weeks, I think. What about you?

I've been here for.... I think it would be a year and six months, using this calender.

[ A blink, but then she smiles. ] That's as long as my-- [ She gestures behind her toward the staircase that leads up to the second floor. ] --well, here I guess she's my daughter... Though that's really weird to say.

[ Ahem. ] My friend Miss Patchouli, that is.

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

I don't believe I've met her. She's been here that long though?

[not_so_great_wall]

Mm! She told me so when she found me. [ Meiling has a seat, since she's still rather tired from all the chaos. ] Miss Patchouli actually explained a lot of things about Mayfield, and even though a lot of it doesn't make sense -- and things've been pretty crazy around here here lately, too, so I'm pretty much convinced that everything she told me is true.

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

I can see that. Not very much makes sense around here.

[not_so_great_wall]

It's a little overwhelming... but I let Miss Patchouli try to think about the deeper stuff. As long as I can be here to keep her safe, that's good enough for me!

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

That's nice of you.

[not_so_great_wall]

Heh, well, it was my job back home. [ She smiles. ] Being away from home shouldn't change that, right?

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

Of course not.

[not_so_great_wall]

That's what I thought! [ Smiling, she clapped her hands together -- probably not a smart move -- and stood back up. ] You probably have a lot more people to see still. I won't keep you long, but I really do thank you for stopping by and helping me out!

[She nods before turning to leave.]

You're welcome. Remember to be careful with the arm.

[not_so_great_wall]

I will, Tiffany! [ Said as she... waves goodbye with it. She's such a good listener. ]

[Tries not to sigh. Well it didn't seem "too" bad from what she could tell. Now back to her rounds.]
