Tamsyn.

Scry me a river.

When all the witches in your town have been set
on fire, their smoke
will fill your mouth. It will teach you new words.
It will tell you what
you've done.

@oftimeandspace [The aforementioned Hrókr doesn’t make an appearance until the food does. A large raven swoops in from an open window and eyes the various breakfast items with interest, and then the Doctor with less interest.]

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

I am the daughter of Fortitude and ravished every hour from my youth. For behold, I am Understanding, and science dwelleth in me; and the heavens oppress me.

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace [Tamsyn sighs and sinks into the couch, pulling a blanket from the cushions and wrapping herself up in it.

The loft is actually really nice. Fairy lights and large cushions and a comfy mattress and several bookcases inlaid into the attic.]

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace Of /course/ I’ve got Netflix. Don’t you dare mess up my algorithm, use the guest account.

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace [Tamsyn stares at her, mouth twitching in a way that seems to be her really really trying not to smile.] …Hekate help me.

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace /Hrókr/. He’s my familiar.

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace Hilarious. [Dead-pan.] Watch out for Hrókr, he’s lurking up there and doesn’t really like strangers.

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace Sure. You can take the loft; I shouldn’t be using a ladder with my hand anyway.

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace …Sure. Cult. Definitely. [Siiiiiiips her tea.] Well, are you staying the night?

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace That’s a /coven/. Or a knitting group. There’s a surprising lack of differences.

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace Fair. [Slow sip from her tea.] Well, that banishing ritual won’t hold Mordeo for long. Hopefully no one starts a cult until tomorrow.

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace Fair. So, what, you wander around, disrupting rituals and getting into trouble?

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace Nothing. I’ve known a few vampires. [Siiiiiiiip.] They’re people, good and bad.

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace [Tamsyn gives the Doctor a /very/ judgemental look from over the top of her tea.]

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace I can’t help it that people are quick to judge. They’re the descendants of witch-hunters, after all.

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@LilithUnholy [Perhaps. But the offerings are consumed, and there is a smear of red against her mouth.]

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@LilithUnholy [Tamsyn hopes to dream of her tonight.

The offerings are left, the candles blown out. The woods exhale.]

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@LilithUnholy [Tamsyn’s lips curve into the sweetest of smiles. She bows her head, hair curling around her face like cornsnakes.]

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@LilithUnholy What else would you have me do?

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace Well, yeah, but I don’t, like, /sacrifice/ people.

[Tamsyn. @pythonyssa]

@oftimeandspace Yeah, she’s morally ambiguous too. Guess the witch thing throws people off.
