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...]
[When he enters into the bedroom, the door immediately shuts and locks itself.
After that....those black flames flare up before him, but they're not the harmless ones he'd seen before, in the ballroom. No, these flames radiate a cursed aura, almost like a particularly nasty Virus would - feeling almost chilling to the bone.
However, they fade....and she smiles at him, gently.]
...What can I do for you, Takumi-kun?

I'll give you that. You are pretty mysterious!
[ Wiggling his fingers back as he says that. ]
You don't ever get lonely?
[ Wiggling his fingers back as he says that. ]
You don't ever get lonely?
Oh yeah, I'm in danger.
[Even as he mumbles to himself he straightens his back, trying to look brave]
Is... is what happened to Erika-san what you planned?

[He laughs a little with her, perfectly content to go along with it.]
I'm sure it's a strength somewhere!
Anyway, you wanted to make a kind of... classy copy? Well, I'm not an expert on this place or anything, but I'm definitely an expert on good copying technique-- [so to speak!] --so I can say this is pretty good quality. Everything seems like it fits together...
So if you like this place enough to make an homage to it, what's your favorite part?

...after the game, perhaps.
[She keeps running the flame across her knuckles, only casting him occasional glances as she glares at it like it'll tell her what she wants to know.]
For now, I have other things to attend to.
Do you have any more questions?

[Her fingers still, for just a moment.]
....I have been alone for a very, very long time. A little more time to myself is nothing I cannot handle.
[There seems to almost be something in her eyes....before she bounces back and grins again.]
It is the price I must pay for being such a mysterious woman~

[He is reminded suddenly of the Yuuko he knows back home, who could also manage a scary aura... only this was 100x worse. He shivers]
You said you had to do this- please, there has to be a way to stop this before it goes any further...

A book from a library far away from here, on another Witch's territory. She's much more powerful than I am.
[Snuffing out the flame, she pats the book - and flips it open.
He....cannot make sense of the words. It feels....like if he did, he would fall into another world entirely.]
...This is a recounting of a famous game between two very highly ranked Witches. I've been finding it quite riveting reading.

[ Oh no. Sora is a total sap. There's concern before he gives something closer to a gently look. ]
You don't really have to be, though. I can come hang out with you if you don't mind. [ There's a beat and he leans in closer, cupping a hand over his mouth like he's sharing a secret. ] And I won't tell anyone about it if you want stay mysterious.

| | So another world. [ He understands that all too well. But someone that's more powerful, huh... that's interesting information to hear. ] But a famous game, huh. [ The fact that he can't make sense of the words makes sense; he doesn't know all the languages from other worlds, after all; even if he knows a lot. ] Are you using that as studying material for this one? |
There is no way to stop this.
[The words...almost feel like a slap, even though she never touches him.]
You are the pieces chosen by my opponent, in order to end this game in their victory. Does a bishop in chess cry that the game must be stopped? Does a go stone weep when it is flipped?
You are pieces, figures and dolls to move around as we wish. Even if you are captured and broken, it does not matter.
Despite what the other Witch has told you, they care not for your safety or your health. Do not be swayed by their sweet lies - I am merely doing what must be done, no matter my personal feelings about this.
[....She looks away, trembling a little.]
....Forgive me. I...never meant to sound that harsh.

Ah...Well, I was quite taken with the Witch that featured in this tale in the beginning. Strong, confident, allowing no one to brook argument with her....She seemed positively wonderful.
...Of course, the later chapters were less so, and I found myself being disappointed. Not to say that development is a bad thing! Just....that I admired her original self, before she was sweetened to be more palatable.

[He cups his face, eyes wide. There's no mark of course but... it sure felt like a strike]
Pieces don't cry because they can't. But we can. And it sounds like you can too.
If you can't stop this, maybe there's a way to change the course- Yuuko-san, please... I need a clue. Anything at all.

A Witch in a tale... [he cocks his head] So you haven't met this Witch, but you really wanted to be like her once. Is that it?
I cannot!
[She yells that out, though with not the same power as when she used the red. Her hands ball into fists, still trembling, still not daring to look at him.]
I - cannot. Please - understand that I am not keeping the truth from you because I want to.

[He's trembling with frustration, but... it doesn't seem to be her fault at least]
...I'm sorry.
...I'm sorry.
