Witching 5

[Granny has never needed to be reminded of what she needs to do. Her hat arriving in the mail was nonetheless welcome. There was nothing physical that needed to be rebuilt, but there's always been more than that. She might not be the friendliest sort, but she knows people]

[Action: Mayfield Elementary]

[Granny stands in front of her class with her hat firmly in place. She surveys the faces of the children, not really paying attention to the drone faces that never change.]

Some of ye probably want to talk about what happened.

[Action: Random houses]

[Granny is out making rounds about Mayfield. She knocks on your door]

Checkin' if ye need anythin'.

[ooeeooahah]

Come on in, I was baking.

[ Ilsa escorts Granny to the kitchen and pours the tea, setting out cream and sugar. ]

I've checked on the neighbors on this road, but it wouldn't hurt to have another set of eyes on the situation. Not many new people here, but some on other streets came in during that mess.

[ Puts a plate of cookies on the table between them. ]

I haven't heard from many of the kids, though. I need to check on the ones I know.

Most of 'em have been pretty quiet the past couple days. Probably a bit much for 'em. Ain't right, the things they had to see.

[ooeeooahah]

Too true. I've not got an official clinic, what with the rules here, but I'm hoping that a few of them will stop by to bake cookies, and talk if they need it.

Probably do 'em more good than anythin' official anyway.

[ooeeooahah]

I'm glad to help where I can.

Some of 'em need it more than they know.

[ooeeooahah]

Even then, some won't ask for what they need.

[ Ilsa rests her chin on her hand. ]

Just means you have to help them convince themselves, which can take longer than they have.

People ain't always very good at reckoning the difference between what they want and what they actually need.

[ooeeooahah]

That's true in any world, I think.

People're people anywhere.
