SNOW! || Open

Marty’s life felt lighter with Onofrio dead. She thought she would be this grieving widow but she wasn’t. She was anything but. She could go outside and not feel like he was going to pop around a corner or that Ira would bring him there to terrorize her. He was dead. She was free. Well, as free as she could be when her soul was owned by someone else.

With freshly fallen snow, Marty set off for the park. The was the snow clung to the trees and the play structure as the children ran amuck was spectacular. It could have been the general happy state she was in or the pleasure of freshly fallen snow, but Marty was loving it. 

“Watch out!” She shouted after forming a perfect snowball and launching it across the park. She didn’t really have much of a target seeing as she was never much of an athlete but it would have been rude if she didn’t give the people a heads up.

Ali couldn’t keep herself away. The cold was annoying, and she wasn’t much of a fan of the wet chills snow gave her, but she did admire the sight of it all. A smile sparking her face as she looked around. The reflection of the snow had her crossing her fingers it’d cover the grey that was starting to show more and more the quicker she stated the change. Hearing someone she turned quickly and rose her hand stopping the ball of snow in mid air before letting it fall. Her magic could only hold it up so long. Rising a brow she looked at the woman. “Don’t.” she said simply shaking her head.

“At least it’s an honest friendship,” He laughed a bit. “Oh, like dinner. It must be rough to fight the urges sometimes. I’d hate to make that worse for you.” Mthunzi hadn’t dealt with a woman in a while. It was weird. 

Mthunzi took a seat, going over the best ways to put down a ghoul if the emergency came up. “Oh, alright. Just until you fall asleep. Are you feeling any different with the root?”

“Honesty is the best policy, right?” She said with a small grin on her face. Ali didn’t do friendships. Mostly because she was afraid they’d die, or she couldn’t save them. Connections clouded her judgment of what magical spells to cast for them. It was easier for her to just treat everyone the same without emotions or feelings connecting them. Nodding she let out a small sigh. “It’s difficult, yes. But.. it’s easier to control when I know you could kill me and save yourself.”  

She smiled softly. No one had watched over her or taken care of her since she left home. Her grandmother would always be there when she feel ill, or the magic took too much out of her.  “That’d be nice. Thank you.. Um.. well you don’t smell all that wonderful anymore.” She laughed. “I mean that in the sense I don’t want to eat you type of way.”

Ali smiled softly to herself as she looked away from him. For the first time since she was bitten she managed to feel some sort of hope. The voice in the back of her head was reminded her that a cure wasn't real. No matter how powerful someone was. It wasn't real. "We're starting this friendship off on the wrong foot hoping we don't have to kill each other." She laughed softly before biting her lip at his comment. "What type of temptation?" She teased giving him a small smirk as he teeth lightly clung to her bottom lip with a small tug. "But really please.. sit. It's nice to have company that knows my secret."

Ira listened. She hadn’t had any magicfolk work for her in at least 50 years. “What kind of protections do you offer?”

Ali bit at her lips and looked at the woman. “Depends on what type of protections you’re looking for. No offence, but I offer my gifts knowing the intentions in which they’re being used for. You can never be too careful in this town, and I am not a woman to be taken advantage of.”

“Technically you’re not a ghoul yet so your odds are looking better than they could be,” Mthunzi gave a shrug. “Get some rest, I’ll be over here going through some old books and such.”

Ali looked at him with a raised brow. “Does the fact I want to rip your throat out and take a huge bite out of you make you feel any better?” She asked teasing, but the temptation was still there. Fading, but it was there. Biting her lip she smiled a little as she nuzzled into the blanket. Clearing her throat she snapped out of it. Ali hadn’t had a gesture like this in quite sometime, there was a reason for that. She knew never to get too attached to people around here. 

Tucking her feet up to allow a spot on the end of the couch she looked at him. “You can sit and talk with me for a bit can’t you? I mean heck.. it could just knock me out quicker.”

wrathfulira:

“I want you to tell me about yours. Every case I’ve seen is always a little different.”

“Mine is pretty basic. I do a lot of my work with candles and chants, a lot from what my people back home in Barbados would do. The moon has a lot to do with mine, and I typically use it for healing or protection purposes.” Ali never felt the need to try and explain herself to anyone.

princess-ellacarp:

“Thank you, that would be l-lovely.”

Ali nodded and lead her to the front door of her place and opened the door. “Don’t touch anything you’re not sure of what it could be. Chances are it’s important and powerful.”

wrathfulira:

Ira smirked. “That’s quite interesting. Tell me about it.”

Ali shook her head. “You seem like you’re someone of power. Someone that’s been around awhile and you’re asking how magic works? I do spells, potions those sorts of things.”

Ira watched as the girl levitated the small object. It piqued her interest. “Yeah, not sorry. How are you doing that?”

Ali raised a brow as she let it fall looking over at the woman. Her stance and attitude towards her indicated she was higher up on the scales around here. “A gift. Magic..”

Ella nodded. “I honestly just want a shower more than a place to sleep…”

Ali nodded. “Alright, well than you can shower and be on your way if that’s what you wish.”

healermthunzi:

Mthunzi shouldn’t really talk. He didn’t have any friends just patrons who came for his remedies. People didn’t check on him to see if he was still alive. No one came around for his birthday, not that he celebrated it anymore. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had a friend. Probably since I moved here, actually.” 

Mthunzi placed the blankets and pillow on the couch and thought of a number to give Ali, “Well, I’ve been treating people in this city since 1951, give or take a few years. I’ve had eight or nine not wake up. Not counting the ghouls I’ve tried to treat.”

Once the blanket and pillow were nearby she took the pillow and set up up in a corner before laying down and setting the blanket over herself. Ali was a big girl, she didn’t need the handsome man to tuck her in. Looking up she frown a little. “That’s a little sad. Not that I can say much... I’m not really a friend person either. I just help people and watch them move on to the next stage in their life.”  

She let her eyes go a little wide hearing him. Of course she was curious to how old he really was, but she just shrugged it off and snuggle a little more into the couch. “Hm.. well the odds look decent. If you’re not a ghoul.” She laughed with a deep breath. “I have faith in you.”

princess-ellacarp:

“I don’t know where to stay… nor d-do I have any m-money.”

Ali pinched her nose a bit as she looked over at the girl. “Alright. Well.. I have a couch for the night and if you chose to stay in this town you can start job hunting come tomorrow. Or find a demon to fix everything up for you. They give good deals from time to time that don’t require owning your soul.”

“Archer,” he said, “I’ll see you around, hopefully sooner rather than later,” he said, walking off in the direction of his car and then off to work. 

Ali just laughed and gave him a small nod. “See you around, Archer.” Packing up the last bit of her things Ali headed back home. The temptations were getting stronger and she needed to take something quickly.

princess-ellacarp:

Ella nodded. “N-Noted…”

Ali nodded. “Not much of a talker I see. I can walk you to the motel or something? Unless you have a place to stay?”

gentleman-heroine-dealer:

“Was being out of you league not implied by my scepticism? Might want to be careful about going out of your way to say things like that, never know when the tables will turn,” he said with a wink, getting to his feet, stretching out and cracking his back. “Might be better if I’m a bit burnt out going into work, it’ll help me sit still better.” His job required a lot of sitting, “Oh right, I never asked your name….”

Ali rose a brow before letting out a laugh as she heard him. Shaking her head she started to pack everything up nice and neatly. “You’re a funny one.” She said looking over at him. Ali enjoyed his wild and young spirit though. It was nice to run across. “Yeah? Well, if you ever need anything, I’m around.” She smiled and stood up herself. “Oh, right.. sorry. Ali, and you are?”

Diego smiled, taking her hand and giving it a firm shake.  “Diego, not from here.  I am enchanted to meet you.”

Ali laughed a little as she nodded pulling her hand back to her side. “Enchanted to meet me huh? Didn’t take you as the Taylor Swift type. That’s cute though.”
