[Morning, 1446 Mitchell Road]

[The first thing Granny notices upon waking is, not surprisingly, that this is not her cottage and these are not her clothes. She would never own this ruffled nonsense.

As she searches the house, taking in the pictures and her surroundings, she comes to one conclusion.]

This ain't right at all. No, can't be having with this.


[Streets of Mayfield, late morning]

[Granny is stalking through the streets with purpose utterly in contradiction to the clothes she was able to find. She keeps glaring at drones that try to discuss Mrs. Smith's apple pies, to no effect. Apparently she needs to build her reputation back up, it obviously hasn't gotten far enough.]

Run along. Shoo!


[Afternoon, John Doe Park]

[Granny is wandering the park, examining plants and animals she comes across. Part of learning about a place.]

Nothing is this tidy. Ain't right at all.

[Just going to walk over.]

Yes. I didn't think I'd see you here.

[It's better then finding your dead body again though.]

I suppose I should say welcome to Mayfield but I'm afraid that isn't a very good thing.

Has anyone told you about this place yet?

[likescats.livejournal.com]

I'M AFRAID I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT MYSELF. BUT SUFFICE TO SAY, WHOEVER IT WAS THAT BROUGHT US HERE, HAS A GREAT DEAL OF POWER. THERE ARE PEOPLE FROM ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT WORLDS HERE.

Ah, something of a mass kidnapping, madame... Everyone in the town that communicates with you properly- that is, they give some sign of having understood your words properly- is likely kidnapped as well.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

The people behind this must have a distinct lack of any sense.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you be needing a witch around these parts.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Bees buzz in the background. It's far more pleasant than that lot.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Best witch on the Disc I am.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Can't abide necromancy.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Dribs and drabs. Apparently the lot that are fixated on pies are called drones and this place is run by a bunch of damned fools that go kidnappin' folk willy nilly.

[bitemescumbag.livejournal.com]

The bees are smarter than 'em. More useful, too.

Take it you're new here, huh.

The park

[foalingaround.livejournal.com]

[Flashy and with a giant ego to match.]

'Course it's not real, duh! That's pretty obvious. But I don't think you're gonna find anything out by looking at a bunch of rocks and grass.

[thebravestone.livejournal.com]

Hello, then. Did you just wake up in the house? That happens to everyone in this town, it is very strange!

[theseineone.livejournal.com]

Or rather troubling motives. Ah, also... We have been arranged into homes and expected to act as if we have lived in this town all our lives. If you woke here, then you are the newest member of the Bonnefoy family, congratulations!

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

Yes. That's right.

It also messes with time and death. I came here when I was 13 and then went home and then came back here to find only a day had past here. Even though I'd spent three years at home.

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa nods ] We can use all the help we can get.

[ She glances around, then traces her recognition sigil in the air between them. It flares pale blue when completed and disappears. ]

There's a lot of us that are called "witch" in our worlds, but not all the same kind.

[catslooklikeme.livejournal.com]

Oh, you know magic? I know some myself. I'm Nall, by the way!

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Sounds like someone fancied themself a fairy godmother.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

[Granny raises an eyebrow. That was rather flashy now.]

Proper witching or that boffo nonsense?

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Bees are real useful. Make honey, keep the flowers pollinated. I like bees. Much better than I like waking up here.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

[She is not in the least surprised]

Granny Weatherwax, they call me. Mostly.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

I did, ain't right at all.

[thebravestone.livejournal.com]

It is not, but I do not know what to do about it. The people in charge do strange things.

Re: The park

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Can learn a whole lot about a place by looking at the life that's part of it. Even when it's not proper life like this.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

[Granny frowns]

That's powerful stuff right there. Even I can't do that easy.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

The parallel ones you mean? They ain't supposed to touch.
