Post Thirty Three: Sorting Things Out

[Tiffany is tired. No, worse. She's not tired, at least not properly tired. Properly tired was spending two days on your feet without sleep. It was helping a new mother give birth to twins. It was when you spent your time on something that made the sheer exhaustion feel like an accomplishment rather then a weakness. No she wasn't tired. Not really.

But she was worried. And she dreams of eyeless things, angry music and gingerbread houses in the woods. And she decides since she's a witch she's going to have to do something about all this. Or a few things.

A. Housemates: Tiffany is sitting on the living room floor while she goes through the small wooden box of her small things from home.

B. Tiffany is walking down the street with a broomstick floating in the air behind her. She's holding onto it by a string as she walks along.

C. Susan, people at Susan's house. There is a witch knocking on the door.

D. There is a girl and a broom on a hill. While that might be a little odd, the strange thing is that she's flying. Rather low to the ground but still flying. It helps her think.


ooc: Tiffany is now able to hear spill words.]

Do you know how you're going to do that?

It can stay on the ground. It's just easier to carry around this way.

I wish I could do magic stuff... [He wants to fly around it would be so cool.]

But I guess Sealand will have to do training! It would help if I had a rifle and that sort of thing. They won't sell it to Sealand at the store.

[ Ilsa is walking from the opposite direction. No, she isn't on patrol what would ever give you that idea? ]

Good morning! Taking the broom for walkies?

[ ...hope it isn't because there's something wrong, I never worked with brooms.... ]

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Most people think that.]

Could you get someone to help you train? They could probably get those things.

D; I heard you talking about 1000-year-old little girls

[Bernkastel was taking a walk, trying to find something interesting. This will do for now. She watches from not terribly far away, the tip of her tail twitching.]

sob...

[Well Tiffany's just hovering in the air. She seems to be working some string over in her hands. Making it into shapes as she sits there.]

An interesting little trick.

[The various types of magic brought to this game were always at least worth a look.]
micronation: (pouty Sealand)

[personal profile] micronation 2011-07-24 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Most people just say I'm too little, even when I tell them Sealand is really a country.

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[A completely polite and straight face. Oh she just loves condescending adults...]

It's easier then carrying it.

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't look up as she works with the string.]

Isn't it. It takes a bit of time to get used to. But I think I'm starting to figure out how it's done. Strings easy to come by too.
ooeeooahah: (Hm)

[personal profile] ooeeooahah 2011-07-24 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
And flying in town would be impolite? [ or showing off? ]

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
If you asked on the phones I'm sure you'd find someone. You might also want to mention that you're going to do it anyway even if you don't get help. So if they're worried about you being too little then they should teach you themselves so you don't get hurt.

I like flying on the hill, you can see more.
micronation: (hot cocoa!)

...I bet England would freak out.

[And that would be hilarious.]

Sealand might do that. I can use a gun but Sealand hasn't in a while.

Something to occupy your mind, or practicing your skills?

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh most likely.

It might be better to practise then.

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
A bit of both.
ooeeooahah: (smile)

[personal profile] ooeeooahah 2011-07-24 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I've heard it's got a good view, and quiet. [ Might have to try flying there if I get enough control back to practice. ]

[ There's also a bit of curiosity concerning the mechanics of the broom, but instead she asks a different question. ]

Back home, did you usually work alone or with a group?

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Alone. Though we pay each other visits.
ooeeooahah: (Hm)

[personal profile] ooeeooahah 2011-07-24 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ilsa nods. ]

Always good to check up on each other, sometimes a new pair of eyes can see something that has been sneaking up on you. [ ...or sneaking up inside you. ]

How long have you been working for your town?

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
The past few years. But I'm the witch of all of the Chalk area, not just one town.

Is the broom your work as well?

[She's gotten abruptly closer because she teleported.]
ooeeooahah: (What?)

[personal profile] ooeeooahah 2011-07-24 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a lot of work. [ Not sure I could handle Atlanta for more than a few months by myself. ] How many people?

[ She really is interested, on a professional level. ]
micronation: (sitting staring out)

[personal profile] micronation 2011-07-24 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, shooting things comes up more here.

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tiffany is used to people randomly appearing..thank you Feegles./sigh/]

No, it's just a witches broom. I'm not sure how it's made, the dwarves make them.
