[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...]
[The door is unlocked, when she goes in - and Nirrti herself is in her bed, the blankets wrapped around her much like how anyone would do when they aren't feeling well.
She says nothing as Ann comes in, however - though her eyes make it clear she sees her.]
[She takes the coffee in her hands, quietly sipping at it.
And then, softly, in a quiet voice -]
....Why?
I am the one who started this game...the one who has taken away those close to you through it. I have laughed at your own pain - and all of my laughter was genuine.
...I would have thought that you would come here to laugh at me, instead. And I would not have blamed you.
Well... All of that stuff was really shitty. And don't get me wrong, my feelings are still up in the air about that.
But setting that aside... I think if things in my life had gone differently, maybe we could have even been the same-- or similar. Maybe I would have wanted to hurt everyone too.
And it's hard to consider that, and to just ignore your pain.

Saturday evening
Nirrti?

Nirrti, I was harsh today.
So I wanted to give you something, to apologize.
no subject
[Her voice doesn't...really have much bite to it, oddly enough.]
That is your job, as a piece. To deny me and what I am.

[she holds up a thermos]

and then, after what seems like an eternity...she sits up, with her blankets still wrapped around her.
She looks...tired. Like all the fire inside of her has burned away.]
no subject
I didn't want you to be alone. And... I've been getting better at making coffee.
Hit me with your harshest criticism. I'm ready.

...I am not - in pain. Not anymore.
Someone like me...can no longer feel pain. Or anything beyond the delight of watching others suffer.
...Your sympathy is kind, but misplaced. And for it, you will most likely die one day.
no subject
But doing this costs neither of us anything. You could have insulted my gift, I wouldn't have blamed you either.
I was super prepared, just in case you did.
no subject
[That's all she says, holding the thermos and staring into it as if it'll give her all the answers she's looking for.]
no subject
no subject
I don't understand you.
And I'm not sure I ever will.
no subject
[said simply, with the smallest of smiles.]
I just wanted to share something that's been bringing me a lot of comfort lately.
[she takes a sip of her coffee, and then swirls the cup lightly, staring at it for a moment, before looking up.]
That's all.
no subject
...Here.
[She hands her back the thermos, gently.]
I...will ask you to leave, now. I'm...very tired.
no subject
[she downs the last of the coffee, and takes the thermos.]
Okay. Thanks for trying it.
