Post Thirty Three: Sorting Things Out

[witchofthechalk]

[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.]

Not that many. Mostly small farming towns.

[They certainly keep her busy though.]

I don't know an exact number.

[miraculous]

Ah. You are a witch, then?

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

Yes. From the Discworld.

[miraculous]

I've never visited that world. Is magic common?

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

Quite common.

[miraculous]

Interesting. I spend most of my time in worlds that do not usually have magic.

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa nods. ]

It sounds an awful lot like riding circuit in my world. At home, we also need to hide the work at the same time.

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

Really? What are they like?

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

It certainly seems to.

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

Really? Are you a witch?

[ooeeooahah]

That's one of the names the use for it in my world. I got cross-trained by a lot of different relatives, because they wanted my sister and me to find the methods that worked best for us.

[ She shrugs, diffidently. ]

It also meant I knew about a lot of different types of herbalism and such when I went to medical school.

Humans are adaptable, they simply make technology in place of such things that magic might do.

I guess that's just 'cause it's Mayfield, or something. But it's kinda dumb how often everyone ends up attacking everyone else and not the guys in control.

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

What sort of things would you consider magic to be doing?

[miraculous]

I use it to travel and escape boredom. Others use it for different things.

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

Yes. There seem to be many uses for it in different worlds.

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

I see. And it's hidden in your world is it?

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

Yes. Things would be a lot less trouble if people would stop doing that.

[ooeeooahah]

Well, yeah - easier to get things done, most times. Lots of people don't understand the costs involved. The energy has to come from somewhere.

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

Somewhere.

[Either tying up Edward's drone in the basement or playing that trick where she pretends to be nonexistent, probably.]

Is she expecting you?

[tapshoetomove.livejournal.com]

I'm Luke Triton.

So uh, are you and miss Susan friends?

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

No.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

How about you? Anything new in your house?

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

Come back in five minutes. Or wait.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

W... well, using magic to make someone fall in love with you isn't really silly, just... impractical. Not that I have any experience with that.

But you sound like a very sensible witch. Frustrated with all the other magic-users hanging around?
