The days are no longer long. Summer has been and gone. Days were shorter now. There was more time for the darkness to come out to play. Despite this little fact, Willow found that the day, unfortunately, had begun to drag. She was bored, though her profession wouldn’t let her show it. To the public, she was wise, caring, enigmatic, leader of lotus: Willow. She had an image to uphold, and for the most part, she did a good job. No one suspected her true nature, and if anyone ever did find out, she’d make them forget anyway. See, it’s not that hard to wipe a persons memory, or alter it when you’ve got magic running through your veins, and the book of shadows in your attic.
Willow sits with her back straight, and her reflection staring back at her. It smiles, although she does not. Yet still, she is bored. Hair and make-up. It was supposed to relax her before she’d head out to preform with her sisters Eloise and Nami. It was supposed to soothe her, but she didn’t want to be soothed. She was bored, and she wanted to play. The backstage area however, was filled with dutiful workers, too afraid to have a little fun. Breathing out a sigh of complete and utter boredom, Willow lifts a hand to twirl at a strand of her hair. Around, and around, and around it goes, constricting, squeezing, turning her pinky blue with how tight she’d coiled it. It almost makes her laugh, to watch the colour drain from her skin, to feel the numbness creeping across her digit.
She’s rudely snapped out of her daze by her managers intern gently tapping along the slope of her shoulder. “M-miss Willow...” he stammers, overflowing why shyness. Willow gets bored of his demeanour quickly, and demands an answer with a sharp stare. “the make-up artist we had originally called in was involved in a car accident--” he’s cut short, by the witch holding up the palm of her hand. A car accident? How, e x c i t i n g. she thinks to herself, though her spoken words convey a different emotion. “Is she okay?” the boy offers a weary smile and shrugs his shoulders. “she wasn’t wearing a s-seatbelt.” he drops his gaze and pushes the bridge of his horn rimmed glasses further up his nose. “b-but we got someone else in for you” he clears his throat and gestures towards a young girl. Fiery orange hair, slim build, mischievous features. Willow approves before he even gets to continue and beckons the girl over with the curl of her index finger and a compelling smile. “Play with me.” she goads.
