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.]

[ There is another girl, watching Tiffany from the trees she's flying over. She waves. ]

[Tiffany glances over and waves back.]

[Sealand is SNEAKING UP not really he's actually pretty obvious and attempting to grab the broom.]

C

[Strangely, the door knocks back.]

[It'd be hard to sneak up on her anyway. She's used to being followed. Anyway he can grab the broom, but it's going to keep him up in the air. Rising slightly so his feet don't touch the ground as Tiffany turns to look at him. Keeping a hold of the string with an amused smile.]

What do we have here? A broom thief?

[Well normally she'd blame Feegles but since they're not here she'll have to take them off the list. Instead she knocks again.]
micronation: (whoa!)

[personal profile] micronation 2011-07-24 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Uwah!

[Kicking his legs a bit.]

I'm only looking!

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
With your hands?

[identity profile] flameyedhunter.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
How are you doing, Tiffany?
micronation: (whoa!)

[personal profile] micronation 2011-07-24 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Just a little...

[What he really wants to say is “I want a ride“.]

Sophie, I can't find my good ti...

Oh, Tiffany. There you are.

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well I'm just taking it up to the hill with me. If you can keep your hands from looking till we get there you can have a ride if you'd like.
micronation: (beam!)

[personal profile] micronation 2011-07-24 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Really? [He looks so excited.] Okay!

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[She almost says well. But then decides lying isn't going to do much good.]

Thoughtful I suppose. What about you?

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[And the broom lowers so he can now touch the ground.]

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[She glances over, there's a blue and yellow wrapper from an old packet of tobacco in her hands. She's taken it from the small wooden box she keeps in her room. A small stone with a hole in it is next to her leg.]

Hello England.

What's all this?

What are all those? [kneeling beside her]
micronation: (victory!)

[personal profile] micronation 2011-07-24 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[He lets go of the broom once his feet touch the sidewalk and runs around Tiffany instead.]

Is it flying practice or are you bored?

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
A few keepsakes from home. I used to take them with me when I had to travel away from the chalk when I was younger.

[They'll walk towards the edge of town and the hill then.]

Probably a bit of both.

Feeling nostalgic today?
micronation: (yeah sure)

[personal profile] micronation 2011-07-24 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Running around, because he always has too much energy.]

This month wasn't too bad I think, except Sealand said some stupid stuff.

[identity profile] the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
A little.

[She picks up a piece of chalk with a fossil in it.]

...I shouldn't be away from my land for this long.

[identity profile] flameyedhunter.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm... actually pretty happy. Aaron is back, and nobody that I am friends with died.... but it was sad about the people who did. Maybe I should feel bad for them... but I just wonder more about what it all means.

To take care of your siblings?
