Round 3 Witch contact post

[lutea]

[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...]

Comments

[lutea]

Exactly.

[She smiles.]

I assume you're well aware of beings that can do that?

[Because. Well. Yokai.]

[lutea]

Ah, Anon? Yes, it feels absolutely wonderful~

[Her notes are just notes about the game so far, though she does have Pester WATANUKI on there as a to-do.]

[lutea]

Ah, well, it's open to the rest of you now. I felt I'd be intruding.

[She's definitely cheerful, though her gaze is sharper and crueler than it used to be.]

I'm surprised you came to see me, Sora.

[lutea]

[As he calls, she appears in a burst of black fire before him, smiling down at him as she locks the door behind him, trapping him in with her.]

...Hello, Takumi. Did you need me?

[anonnomnomnom]

I always have to go run around for a bit when I can, after an assignment or something, you know? It's just not the same being some other guy all the time, even if it's natural for me!

[He gives a little laugh at the note about pestering Watanuki. Is there fun commentary about the Game or dragging Pieces or something in there. Nirrti is a diligent scholar of murder!]

[keydomhearts]

Didn't think you'd care about intruding.

[ S'up ]

You may be cruel, but I still think there's more going on here.

[goldenmaniac]

[He sucks in a breath, startled despite himself]

I have a question. Will be honest with me?

[youkaiwatch]

It's definitely not an unfamiliar concept.

[ ... ]

Were you a human before, or something else?

[ Or both. ]

[lutea]

If it doesn't violate the rules of the game, then yes.

[lutea]

...A human, I believe. It's not as if I can remember much about it, though.

[lutea]

Hm, you're right - I don't care.

[She laughs.]

and you also think incorrectly. What you see...is who I am.

[keydomhearts]

I already know that's not true. Because what I see is Yuuko, right? But you aren't her.

[youkaiwatch]

So it's different for you than it was for Watanuki-kun, then.

[lutea]

Ha, You've got me there! But I meant beyond that.

I am the cruel Witch of Misfortune.

[lutea]

He's still practically a baby in Witch terms. I myself am no more than a child, but he's an infant in all respects.

[lutea]

You do have quite the interesting ability. ...Say, after this game, would you be interested in a contract with me?

[Because, you know, he's a demon and all of that, and she likes him.

There IS fun commentary about the game! Specifically, about the likelihood of a piece snapping and coming to her. She also has a small note about how much she likes anon in there, aww.]

[anonnomnomnom]

Thanks, but no thanks! I wouldn't mind visiting you every now and then, but I'm not really a guy that likes to be tied down so much.

[He's totally only demon-adjacent, to be fair, and contracts -- much less Witch contracts -- are a curious concept to him. As for the Foundation, well... who knows?

He pores over it briefly and grins when he gets to the note about him.]

You're totally playing a waiting game here, aren't you? The advantage is really on your side when it comes to that. I can totally admire that!

[That's totally probably his way of expressing that he likes her back just fine. They can talk shop about murder games even on opposing sides.]

[youkaiwatch]

Is that what it is?

...Does he know, by the way?

[lutea]

Ah, that's a shame, but I understand. Still, please come visit me whenever you want.

[She doesn't mind as he looks around her notes, nodding as he points it out.]

Of course~ My opponent didn't really look at the rules too well, with how angry he was. Though you all will learn the best ways of approaching me in the trials, I will be gaining more and more of you on my side.

All it would take for the balance to break is one of your smarter members to fall, after all. Or, perhaps, for distrust and paranoia to be sewn among you when you've all become close to each other...

[She pauses, then laughs.]

My! I practically don't treat you like a piece, but - then again, you don't even attempt to think like humans do. You could become a Witch yourself, given enough time and suffering.

[lutea]

Oh, he knows. Or, at least, I hope he does, what with him having learned to more closely read the rules of a game before agreeing to play.

[She laughs, happily.]

Still, I don't mind. It's the duty of those who come before to teach the young, correct? So I am teaching him how to be a real Witch.

[goldenmaniac]

You say you're not human now. But were you?

[keydomhearts]

[ He'll just have to see himself sorry ]

How did you become the Witch of Misfortune anyways?

[lutea]

Yes, once. But I don't remember any of my time as a human.

[lutea]

I clawed by way from the human world to this one.

[That explains exactly nothing.]

[keydomhearts]

Does that mean you didn't want to be human any more?
