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...]

Haha - well said. Though no witch is eternally honest, of course.

[She grins.]

Well? Why have you come to see me, Natsuno?

[sotoshini]

Witches aren't human, you've said. But you were one once, right? Did you choose to become a witch in the first place? [ Natsuno is terse more times than not, but there are times when he gets wordy, curious, and bold. And sometimes, he may have more of an investment in matters than he lets on. ]

[lutea]

I chose to become one, yes. I chose and tore myself apart in order to move on, instead of being merely anchored to the past.

[She glances over at him, eyes showing nothing but murky depths.]

So I cannot tell you much of my human past, if you're curious. I don't remember it.

[sotoshini]

I'm not. The past is in the past, you won't get anywhere with it weighing you down. [ That's less dismissive and more firm, given his own history. ]

If you don't remember it... then there's nothing to regret, I guess.

[lutea]

[...And she smiles, a bit more genuinely.]

Exactly. I wished to move forward, with nothing blocking me. If the memories of my human past were the price of that, then it was a simple thing to pay.

...It is...nice, that you understand that. So many others here have reacted with pity.

[sotoshini]

Of course they did, they're mostly humans.

[ That's what humans do, among other things. ]

But what did you want to move forward for?

[lutea]

...Because I was tired of staying where I was.

And I refused to mourn anymore.

[sotoshini]

[ Hm. He doesn't know how to take that and it shows on his face. Still sullen and broody, but with a touch of something else. It might be empathy, but it's gone as sudden as it came. ]

And this is your answer? Your freedom? [ It's not judgemental in the slightest, just curious. ]
