Sadly I couldn't get tags to work properly, so we're over here now. Things are pretty empty considering how long I've had this blog. Yet here's to a bright new future for everyone's favourite witch mom friend!!

"There is? I might have a pen or paper. Just give me a moment here." Rafael started rummaging through his bag, then pulling out a pen and paper, "Here you go. I just hope I'd find any luck because I'm planning to stay here for a few weeks."

[ofteaandmagicmoved]

When the man said he had pen and paper, she wasn't certain if she'd be the one writing the location down or him. Not that it mattered all too much. Humming to herself, she jotted down both addresses from memory alone, then passing the piece of paper back. "There we are! A few weeks, huh? I'm guessin' 'or work then?"

❝ Merci . I don't normally make this brew , but I figured it was time to switch up flavors . ❞ It's nice to have someone to talk to this late , even if it is about low quality beverages . Granted she doesn't normally drink tea but , having made too much , it's good knowing the leftover brew will be savored instead of bring poured down the drain later .

[ofteaandmagicmoved]

"You're welcome--I unfortunately don't know much French. A switch up is most welcome in my books. I do so at my shop every couple of weeks."

Even though she has to be up in the morning as per usual, she hopes that talking about tea isn't too cumbersome. Yet, in all honestly, it's far too simple to make too much tea; Mellie has done so many a time herself. Besides, drinking all of it oneself is asking for trouble.

"It's nice not to be judged for that sorta thing."

Many a time he'd been told not to add so much sugar to his tea. But he was weak for sweets, he had to sweeten his tea. Kounosuke wasn't a big fan of bitter tastes, though he found them fascinating on their own, and indulged in them from time to time. Bitter chocolate could be delicious, depending on what mood a person was in. Or that's what he believed.

"No time like the present!"

His way of saying that the current day would be fine. After all, the tanuki was a very 'go with the flow' kind of guy, always living in the now instead of worrying about the future. You couldn't really change it, only inch it in the way you wanted it to go, so why worry about the unknown?

It was going to happen regardless of what you did.

"I was nervous about flying when I first did it. But I must have flown over a hundred times by now, I'm super used to it."

He grins.

"Let this be the mark of a beautiful new friendship! I'll do my best for you, it can be like a second career, hehe. Working with flowers is too much fun."

[ofteaandmagicmoved]

"One of the most wonderful feelings in the world."

Tea wasn't tea in her book if she didn't sweeten it to some degree, however, sugar wasn't the only thing Mellie would add. Often she had a combo of honey and sugar, something of which most would think to be on the 'too sweet' side of things. Yet, as the young woman would point out, the addition of lemon--a natural tart citrus--could effectively act as a balancer.

"Absolutely perfect news!"

The expression didn't go overlooked, not by a long shot, and she was very pleased to hear he'd be willing to start right away. Would this count as her first official employee? To her, it would, at least since Tuesday was no longer around and running things. She'd never got around to actually hiring people, even though her brother was technically part of the staff; just with very part-time hours. What with being an accomplished poet.

After nearly ten years of being on her own, she could honestly use the help.

"I really think everyone is nervous when it comes to their first flight, or that's what I've read, anyhow. Then ya get used to it, hopefully it'd be fairly quickly. Like, say, by the second time you're just fine."

There's a grin of her own now.

"Yes, I quite agree! I appreciate it, and I s'ppose I have two part-timers now. You and my brother, who I'm certain you'll meet at some point."

[merveiilles]

ㅤㅤ❝𝓐re you asking for my assistance with locating him?❞ The tyrant asked, almost hearing a bit of annoyance in his voice with the quest at hand, having to locate the girl's brother. Not that he couldn't do it. He was an excellent tracker. However, he wasn't a people pleaser or one that simply does things for other people.

[ofteaandmagicmoved]

"What--no, no! I wasn't, I wouldn't ask that of ya. I can find 'im all on my own. Not only that, but I don't require your assistance. It's okay." Asking the tyrant for ANYTHING had always been completely out of the question; well, besides asking for help with preparing furs. Yet that was to appear useful to the settlement and not for her well-being.

Beetlejuice was honestly having a ball of a time himself as he danced around the dancers himself, hands waving around as if he was conducting the music to which his living puppets were dancing too.

However it wasn’t the shocked and the displeasure of his dancers that was allowing him to have just fun. It was Mellie’s delight at his antics, the delight and joy she had, that well it was infectious to him and he was happy he could make his friend feel that way.

He had gotten to know Mellie well and while she had mellowed him out in ways to be a little more calmer, though his chaotic nature did seep out now and again, pranks like this did help him to blow off a little chaos and not be too much for Mellie.

It may have happened once before and it was more than enough for him to not want it to happen again.

With a grin and a smirk though he is going to come back to join Mellie before he snapped his fingers and the two dancers collapsed to the floor. Not hurt or dead or anything just a little exhausted from the little dance session.

“Hehe~ That was fun, how did you enjoy the show madam?”

Everyone else in the room was paying so much attention to the two main dancers, that they weren't paying her any mind. So Mellie could fully dance around as though she had her own partner and enjoy the performance as well--two birds with one stone!

To her, it was interesting how they could feel the other one's energies and play off that--to feel the other one's happiness. Was this the joy of hanging out with a friend and causing chaos? If so, Mellie could very well get used to this. Well, in a way, the teenager already had.

Unfortunately because she was a teenage girl, there were limits to what she could and couldn't handle; yet the limits weren't too bad considering the whole added witchcraft thing. Yet she was a peaceful being at her core, probably would be in the years to come.

There'd been one incident, but since it'd been a while, she was no longer affected. Yet had no idea Beetlejuice kept this in mind.

If Mellie hadn't been around the demon for some time, the tiny gasp she let out would've been louder and not so tiny when the dancers fell to the floor. Like puppets that were no longer needed. Yet she could tell the girls weren't hurt, she could see them breathing even from a distance.

"I did a lot, actually--are they are goin' to be out 'or a while? I mean, should we get out of here…?"

[sleuthwitch-deactivated20230929]

"Let me go check if I've got some extra blankets and pillows. I'm okay with trying something different." Penelope mused as she checked her cabinet to rummage through blankets and pillows, "Do you want to watch a movie too?"

[ofteaandmagicmoved]

"Sure! Which movies do ya have?" She hadn't meant for Penelope to completely change her plans on a whim, but if her companion was down for anything, that was fine with her. Yet, Mellie would've been fine with trying something new. Perhaps next time? "My twin calls me the pillow fort queen."

Rook looked over at the woman behind the counter. He smiled at her with a slight wave. “Oh, I’m just looking around. Been wandering the street and just checking out what’s here.” He said, walking over to her. “Now, what exactly do you sell here?” He asked. 

Ah, just a wandering soul. Not that there was anything wrong with being just a thing--in fact, it was how she'd ended up with lasting customers over the years. "That's perfectly fine, I've done that plenty of times myself!" One hand waved over to the various flowers on display, and then with the other her selection of teas. "Mainly flowers, but teas as well. I can even brew up a few of anything that may interest ya. I'm Mellie by the way."

@ofteaandmagic It’s the space between their shops! :D

[imsensingatriptoikea]

Imogen smiled. "Oh, I suppose like 5 or so." She said. She hummed in thought. "What exactly are we looking for?" She asked. It was always interesting looking for things with Mellie, both of them had a lot of history and a lot of interesting bits and pieces to sift through if they really wanted to.

[ofteaandmagicmoved]

Mellie blinked in surprise, having expected Imogen to say just a couple. "Blimey, that's quite a lot! Ya might have to teach me some at some point, 'cause I'd be willin' to learn." Except, that could wait for the time being. "Well, it was older than me or her 'or one thing. It was always kept in a case…except I took it out… It was an older scroll…" She really hoped her mind wasn't leading where she thought.

[ofteaandmagicmoved]

There's a soft, knowing smile on her face now, one that hadn't wished she'd given Eva so much trouble. "It's a'right, these things happen sometimes. I felt that way once, when I tried makin' a tart 'or my father--didn't turn out too well, and I felt…like I'd wasted a bunch of food."

[essentiamortis]

elizabeth keeps her gaze trained on the blonde in front of her. the question confuses her. a prying question too. what else does she like to do outside of magic? what interests does she have? she is simply a customer and one that is not normally up for small talk. she knows very little of this woman and her beliefs. what would mellie continue to think of her if she answers the question? would she think she's gave into madness and treat her in a similar way elizabeth seen others treat her mother's paranoia?

lips pressed into a thin line, she answers, "normally, i'm checking out of haunted hotels. some days i'm manifesting and casting spells or hanging out with the dead."

@ofteaandmagic / lyric based starters / song link.

[ofteaandmagicmoved]

The two questions are only in the slightly prying category, at least by Mellie's own standards. Besides, she was only trying to make conversation; that was it, and nothing more. Not every one of her customers is chatty, but that doesn't mean that the fair-haired witch doesn't try all the same. Yet, even she can recognize at literal stop and cease when she sees one. Yet this isn't the woman standing in front of her isn't exactly her normal clientele. Yet, how does she convince this woman she isn't one to judge?

Unsure of what to say for a moment, she stayed quiet. "I came 'cross a haunted mansion in my younger years, spent quite a bit of time there. Haven't been back in years, though. Know 'or sure they'd remember me, the dead don't forget, after all."

ㅤㅤ❝𝓨eah, in a sense you're just slightly evolved apes-- no offense. But compared to the other figures that have been around for billions of years, we've seen a lot of things.❞ Jack remarked casually. ❝All of you are but a millisecond of time compared to the twelve hour clock that I've lived.❞ ❝I don't think I am wrong in phrasing it like that. I think it was rather good." In a lot of sense, he always defended what he said or did. Nothing in his icy blue eyes was wrong. ❝About your gardens? Yeah, if it's seasonal things then it's most likely me.❞

[ofteaandmagicmoved]

"I s'ppose none taken. I can only begin to imagine if I'm honest. Are we allowed to learn things from all of you? I mean, is that a thing?" For having been around since the literal dawn of time, there must have been some kind of knowledge in all of these beings. "A tiny little blip, if ya will. Kind of a scary thought if I were to really think 'bout it."

"Fine, fine. I s'ppose ya win this one. I mean, you're more creative than most, I'll give ya that." If she was being honest, Mellie had heard far worse. From other children in her younger days, they could be like that after all. "Uh…well 'bout that…he can freeze things too. His name is Melvin and if ya cross paths with 'im… I'm so sorry."
