Need a cup of magic?

Teapots that look like western tea cabinets

Lillie, dear, just letting you know Nelua will be coming up for their landwalk next week. --@leila-the-witch

I’ll be there!!

[leila-the-witch]

Wonderful. :) We'll meet at the tidepool around ten on Wednesday.

[lillie-vane]

Sure thing! Can’t wait to show them around the city and ask how different it feels. Think we should do any leg-based activities? Like soccer? Oh! Maybe we should also try swimming, I’m just curious how different that feels from their normal swimming. Although, that would be taking time away from seeing the land based stuff they wanted to see. Actually, did you have any plans already Ms Leila?

[leila-the-witch]

Well, since they'll likely arrive up to an hour after we do, the first thing I had planned was getting lunch. After that, I figured we'd just explore the city. Nelua does like to explore, after all. :) Oh, their friend Sokiu is going to be joining us as well. I believe you met them briefly at the party, it's going to be their first time too.

I think Dillon needs some calming tea, he seems super on edge from the RV

@dillon-q-cumberbatch, care to come by for a cup?

[dillon-q-cumberbatch]

Well I wouldn’t mind a cup of tea, but I don’t know that “on edge” is really the way to describe it. Baffled, at this point as much as anything. I was rightfully angry at first though.

[leila-the-witch]

Why's it got you in such a tizzy, anyway? Was it just that it blocked your car at a bad time?

[dillon-q-cumberbatch]

Well, that certainly didn’t help matters. I suppose I’m just irritable at the assumption that I’ll take care of… whatever this is, without even asking. And in fact avoiding even speaking to me about it. My neighborhood has a home owner’s association, do you know how much a HOA loathes a non-running vehicle? The fines are going to be horrendous. I’m already on thin ice with the garden, and now I have a junky RV sitting in full view of my nosiest neighbors.

[leila-the-witch]

Oh, pish, those things are nothing but trouble and don't understand reality. Let them scream at trees. And it was indeed overly presumptuous of your cousin to just dump it on you, but perhaps that reflects a degree of trust as well.

Regardless, you have it now, and therefore you have something which you didn't before.

[dillon-q-cumberbatch]

Leila, I don’t have the title. The only thing I have that I didn’t have before is a problem. Although having the title might be worse. I don’t know who would be responsible for the unpaid taxes if I did. Or how much they’d cost.

[leila-the-witch]

Ah yes. Paper. I seem to recall that there's a form one can fill out in that situation, if they explain things. Not certain it would work for this exact situation but it could be worth a try. It's worked for a similar matter.

[dillon-q-cumberbatch]

I think there’s something to be done for abandoned vehicles specifically, but you need to make documented attempts to contact the owner. I simply am unfamiliar.

[leila-the-witch]

Well, you have tried to call him, yes? There's that for that.

[dillon-q-cumberbatch]

I have. Multiple times. And I probably won't do anything until I do speak to him. It isn't only a matter of what's legal to do. I am... something of the family peace keeper, and there would surely be hard feelings. If not from Phillip then surely from some other cousin or another that wanted a free camper.

[leila-the-witch]

In that case, all you can do is wait, I suppose.

[leila-the-witch]

A little boy came in with his mother today and asked for a cup of tea for his doll, too. :) Of course I obliged, though the tea was just pretend.

[just-vito]

Heyyyyyyy! The body machine’s fullllyyy functional if you wanna check it ouuuutttt! I’m not sure if you waaaaant it as collateral or nooot, but you can still see it if you waaaaaant. It’s what makes the fake killing worrrrk. Oh! And Frankie said about $2000 would be what I need for the loaaaaaaan.

I could take a look. Two grand is doable, easy.

[nullanon]

Yayyyyy! Let me know when you wanna stop byyyyyy, and you can chooooose who you wanna see if you waaaant, but I can only show you a fake death if they come wiiiittthhh.

I already have hairs for a buuuunch of people you knooowwww: Duke, Francesca, Frankie, Tread, Leila…. I’m not sure you know the otherrrrssss, but I can alllso make Amanda, Kasey, Mitch, Feldman, and Haaaaarlllll if you waaaaant. I can do other people toooo, I just gotta get a hair from them fiiiiirstttt.

[leila-the-witch]

How precisely did you get my hair?

[nullanon]

We’ve met a buuuuunch of times and since Amaaaaanda was doing it I allllsooo took hairssss when I coulddd. Not that I really neeeeeded them for anythinggggg

[leila-the-witch]

Hm. I'm surprised you got it without my noticing.

[leila-the-witch]

This. THIS is why you don't let your cats wander about, people.

[frankie-the-bad-guy-lupelli]

What happened? D:

[leila-the-witch]

Ah, I suppose I was in such a tizzy that I didn't actually specify. You know how cats just love to catch small living things? This one decided to catch a pixie.

She's injured, but she'll recover. She's going to spend the night at my apartment (well away from my own cats) and then go back home in the morning after she's rested.

[frankie-the-bad-guy-lupelli]

Oh jeez. Poor thing. I wonder if Invenkitty would know to leave a pixie alone... It and Li'l Duke have the highest prey drives out of the four cats here and I don't let 'em out really, but every now and then Invenkitty will open the door itself.

[leila-the-witch]

They do generally stick to the forest...I wonder whether Invenkitty would understand a pixie's speech.

[leila-the-witch]

are ya gonna go back there or is it just cursed

I'm considering it. I've got higher priorities at the moment though. I do still wonder what it was. Undulette hasn't panicked like that since she was young and inexperienced, and then it was more just "I don't know where this thing is, I can't find it!" This time it was sort of different. I'm not sure what she was trying to tell me though.

[lt-duke-detain]

I wonder if you were near where Null and I were. It's got something out there to keep people from just stumbling onto its new project. Said it causes people to just sort of wander back away from it. Uncharacteristically responsible of them I think. They seem to be really doing this Cabin experience right.

[leila-the-witch]

Oh! Perhaps that was it then. Must be quite well made if it even stumped Undulette.
