[Action in the Residential Neighborhoods - Very Early Morning]

[It's way, way too early in the morning for anyone to be knocking on your door - especially when that person happens to be a teenage girl that looks half-asleep. The sun's just peeking over the horizon and yet, here she is knocking on your door. Will you answer?]



[Phone - Afternoon]

The Outside World's weird.

It isn't too early; you're just unused to being awake at a decent hour.

[blink. blink. blink.]

...the ghost princess told you to go rob a grave? Really?

...who's robbing graves?

[You make no sense, maid. People who rob graves are absolute scum.]

...you mean you're not? The way you were speaking, there was no other conclusion.

...there were plenty of other conclusions, ze. I don't rob graves.

[And now she's getting up and going to leave.]

...an Incident, then? My apologies, by the by, for assuming the worst. Apparently it's earlier than I'd thought.

[A pause.]

...you caught what I said, then?

Yes. An Incident. And if you ever say something about me robbing graves again, I'm gonna shove a Master Spark down your throat so far it'll hit you next week.

I won't. My apologies.

...you didn't answer whether you caught what I said, though.

Are you awake enough to hear it? If not, have more tea.

[A pause, and when she speaks again, she's deadly serious.]

This place is called Mayfield. It's supposed to be an Outside World town in America, circa the 1950s. This means it's a bit boring compared to things at home, or so it would seem on the outside.

...it does things to people. Strange things. Apparently death isn't uncommon, though no one actually stays dead permanently.

More than that...it has a way of doing strange things to one's head. As an example, I'm sure you've seen the people who are uncannily happy? The ones that are --

[At that moment, one of the drone children comes up, asking her if they can go to the park again. She nods and sends the boy outside, and he's followed by a girl a moment later. A moment later, they're outside on bicycles and off to play.]

-- like that. Who honestly believe I'm their mother, when I'm no such thing. We call them 'drones'. And this place can do it to any one of us.

[She's speaking from experience.]

[She plops back into her chair and sips the tea. She listens and gawks at Sakuya's 'children'. She was just about to ask the maid when she had kids when she didn't have to.]

That sucks.

They aren't mine. Not by blood, not by marriage, not by anything I had any say in. To be honest, the children they claim are mine are the single most disturbing thing about this town. Even more so than finding out I supposedly married someone I've never met before being pulled here.

...it helps that I'm used to being around magicians, on the latter front. My 'husband' and I also share the ability to manipulate time, which has led to some interesting discussions. We get along well, all things considered.

[You might notice her mood shifts a bit when she speaks, clearly happier when discussing him than when discussing the false children.]

[The witch stares for a long moment.]

Well, I'll be... Never thought I'd see the day.

[Nope. Not following.]

You never thought you'd see the day when what?

...maybe it's just me still half-asleep but I think someone has a bit of a crush, ze.
perfectandelegant: (pleased)

[cue internal flailing and a blush she has no idea how to control.]

What makes you say that?

[Never mind that she's right about it.]
perfectandelegant: (not commenting on that)

[There's no need to look in a mirror, not then. Instead, she picks up her teacup, catching her reflection there, in the shiny porcelain surface. She has to wonder if it's that obvious to everyone or if it's just a moment of the witch catching her off-guard. It isn't like she goes out of her way to broadcast it.]

No need for such things.

[time for a topic change.]

Ah, by the way, have you run into imouto-sama yet? I'm sure she'll be pleased to see you, given how fond of you she is.

not yet. You're the first familiar face, ze.
