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...]

[lutea]

I said it when I first appeared, didn't I?

I am fighting to protect something important to me.

[lutea]

[LAUGHS

And just lets him lie there until he wakes up.]

[fullbodied]

Something, not someone?

[lutea]

Oh, you're worried about that, hm?

Not to worry, Syaoran-kun.Regardless of if they die or not, their wish will be granted at the game's end.

It's just that simple, you see?

[foundfate]

Of course they will, because I will be putting them back when I win. But this is still going to be traumatic on them! Trauma like that has a heavy karma price!

[foundfate]

[Rude, at least give him a pillow.]

[lutea]

It has.

I have...never played a game like this before.

[The words resound with the power the red holds.]

[lutea]

Mmm.

[Yeah, she....doesn't even move from where she's at.]

In a...way, yes.

[...Her hand trembles a little.]

[lutea]

[Are you seriously asking the Witch of Misfortune to do anything nice for you?

...actually, she starts drawing on his face in permanent marker while he's out.]

[anonnomnomnom]

[He doesn't seem to notice, even as he tilts his head to glance sidelong at her and consider her words and everything else. It isn't necessary for him to notice things like that in their current configuration.]

You're acting funny, you know. Not like somebody who's supposed to be running a Game like this.

[Of course, it's debatable whether he has any idea how a Witches' Game is supposed to be run.

But is that stopping him? No. He's taking another bite and too bad.]

You were prepared for this, weren't you?

[lutea]

Aren't you a proper Witch, Watanuki? You should know that we are free from the effects of Karma.

Why do you think we suffer for so long?

[foundfate]

[...ok fair.

But when he wakes up, he has no idea there's marker on his face.]

Ugh, I hate that. That's the fourth time!]

[lutea]

Something, yes. For witches, even concepts are worth fighting over.

After all, we are but living embodiments of those concepts.

[lutea]

...Forgive me. This - was m...more taxing than I assumed it...would...

[She sits up, her hands trembling more as she looks away.]

.....I...was prepared, and yet....ngh...

[fullbodied]

[she looks legitimately surprised by that.]

... Oh boy, you sound like the Holy Grail.

So, what concept are you?

What concept am I?

What concept is anyone?

[foundfate]

No, we're not. Our suffering gives us an untold amount of Karma to work with, but that cost is still paid in some way. And if you do enough grand magic here, you're going to run out.

[lutea]

The concept of many worlds, of course! At least, for myself.

Humans do not have concepts - they create those concepts, and then unconsciously live their lives by them.

It is how they can be played with by whatever witch wishes to play with them - that power was given to us by them.

[lutea]

Hm, is that how you see it...? I suppose, if that's your own Magical Formula, no one can deny it or take it from you.

However, mine does not work on such rules. And I will not be chained to the Formula of a dead woman who used hers in order that even Humans may weave magic.

[goldenmaniac]

[He kinda feels bad for possibly bringing down her good mood with this]

The new servants... are they Erika and Karen?

[anonnomnomnom]

You know, I thought Feathers must have been the only one who wasn't prepared for this type of battle -- but how long have you been fighting like this, anyway? It's a pretty interesting way to fight, and it's going to take us a while to get used to it, but...

[He holds up a mouthful and stares at it as though it contains all the mysteries of the universe.

Because despite her status, Yuuko surely doesn't contain every secret this time around. He chows down a little before addressing her again.]

I like it. The Witches' game. So I can't have you giving up before the rest of us do.

[He'll nudge the food a little closer. Because why not?]

[fullbodied]

Annnnnnnd we're just pieces to disprove some disagreement. Which, given all of that, I can only imagine what it is.

[foundfate]

That is the Magical Formula that Yuuko, Witch of Dimensions, uses.

Or are you saying that's not your name?

[lutea]

Then don't try to do such things while you're still human, Kimihiro.

Unless you'd like to finally end the farce and claim your true title?

[lutea]

I may have her name and title, but that does not mean I am the same person. Or do you need a refresher on how the path of succession goes?

[foundfate]

Not yet. I'll put up with these limitations for a while longer.
