Round 3 Witch contact post
[The Witch of Misfortune can be easily found wandering around, mostly in the Master Bedroom. Though seems she'll easily stop whatever she's doing and chat with you, at least...]
She must want it awfully badly. Neither she nor most of her Pieces are really suited for a Game like this, if you ask me.
[Anon nobody asked you. He's watching Yuuko with the same unwaveringly open curiosity, a hint of something sharper to it but nothing more.]
So you saw that there was more power, and more potential, and more possibility. And you wanted it? Is that what it was?

[Takumi laughs softly]
You didn't have to make the effort there, Yuuko-san. I believe you.
You said you're proving the right to your identity... is that why the other Witch never signs their name or title? They don't have one of their own?

Hmph.
[it's as he suspected, that the "Witch" Watanuki probably yet lives somewhere]
Don't take me so lightly, witch. Even a properly placed Pawn can topple the King. You will taste defeat! I will find the core of what you are... and I will erase you entirely.

I guess I'm not exactly the best sleuth if I'm not like that. But I think there's a lot of different 'Truths'.
Hmmm... an advantage. What could it be though...

I will succeed where others have failed.
[he heads for the door -- she's right about that, after all
But he suspects that, after tomorrow... it won't really matter.
He talks a big game, but his time on the board may be coming to an end]

I am. Thank you.
[ She may not have any qualms about sacrificing someone for a greater good, but she's not going to kill another innocent person like Karen for something that selfish and petty. ]

Nirrti-san.
[ It's not like it's a surprise that "Yuuko" turned out to be someone else, given how Syaoran had reacted since the beginning, but it's still disconcerting seeing her title go from "dimensions" to "misfortune". ]
Has anything about our deal changed?

Hm? Ah, it's Emi~~ Come in, come in.
[She happily draws her inside her room, and shuts the door.]
And of course not - The world will still change, as I promised. It's just that the method I would be using has come to life - I would simply remove the 'misfortune' of your people being discriminated against.

[ Well, okay, being in here is happening. ]
I see. That's how your magic works? Granting or removing misfortune?
[ It makes some sense, really. And while this makes for a much less detailed wish than the one she was intending, there might be less room for things to go wrong with this phrasing.
(If any of this is true at all.) ]

Yes. However, it is not just removing or granting - I can remove or grant that misfortune regardless of the flow of time.
....In essence, I can make it so that a fragment does not splinter, but is merely changed from what it would be. I control the concept of 'Misfortune' itself - and it is a concept many humans - well, mortals - place almost god-like reverence upon.
...After all, how many humans blame things that happen to them on 'bad luck?' Entire cultures have rituals to chase away misfortune, gods or goddesses that they pay off to stay away for the year.
Thus, to humans, I have an almost godlike power. Because I rule over what they worship, power is granted to me in return.

[Well, here Anon is, because of course he is.
You can't just reveal yourself in your full mad Witchy glory before him and then tie up and beat up the actual Witch of Dimensions and expect him to stay away?? So he's absolutely looking around for Nirrti herself, keeping mostly quiet this time but a weather eye out as he strays around the mansion. Master bedroom? Ballroom? Library? Where is our Witch of Misfortune today?]

That does sound impressive.
[ "Fragment"... ]
Forgive me for not quite understanding how this all works -- was that always your power, or did you only come into it when you took this title as a witch?

Nirrti! You totally lost, but you're still happy about it, huh? Doesn't it feel great to stretch your legs after being in disguise for a while?
[Anon pops up over her shoulder, peering at whatever she's writing.
He also seems to be in a good mood and, provided she isn't too mad about him looking at her desk, he'll hum back at her.]

[ So here he is, checking in on her. ]
Didn't want to hang in the halls anymore?
[ Since now she's chilling in the master bedroom ]

[he doesn't expect to find her- as 'Yuuko' she was still playing nice. Now what reason would she have to speak with him?
If she's not in the Master Bedroom like before he will out right call for her]
