A note hanging off a board.

So all of you complaining that my curse candles are not working. I never said WHEN they would work. Or how strong they would be. In my opinion if you are buying 'get sick' candles or 'break up' candles its y'alls own fault for getting scammed. That said you wont be seeing me anytime soon bc I was not dumb enough to show my true face when we met at the drop off.

Cannot believe I just saw someone fly from the uppermost floor of the Ziggurat to the Student Health Center on a vacuum cleaner of all things?? Student witches are y'all good? Don't you want to keep the ~aesthetic~ of the good old fashioned broomsticks?? How did you even get that clunky vacuum cleaner up in the air, I-

Archivist, a problem: all painters on campus are probe to accidental “potions” when they clean their brushes in containers of water or turpentine and the colors wash off in the mix, but I seem to have made a Real Potion by accident and I’m afraid to know what it does. It smells as much of paint thinner as usual but it’s starting to manifest ocean noises. I don’t even know the proper disposal for this. Any advice? I offer a time-tested palette that holds the colors of the dozen oil paintings that got me in with a wealthy scholarship.

If you believe it’s truly and immediately dangerous, the chem labs might be able to help dispose of it.

Otherwise, consider seeking out the trio of student witches up in the Towers. They began experimenting last semester with crockpot brewing (after the traditional cauldron, which took up all four burners of the stovetop in the dorm kitchen, caused an unprecedented number of complaints). Their successes so far lead me to believe they might be able to reverse-engineer whatever it is you’ve created.

what do the three witches at the top of the towers usually request in exchange for getting rid of curses? i'm a broke college student, i don't have much to offer

If you truly have nothing at all that they would want - no money, no information, no skills, no creations - then they will not turn you away. Instead, they will ask simply for the favor, paid forward. Whatever you seek from them, you will do in turn for another: if they’re helping you with a minor inconvenience, you can probably be debt-free by swatting a mosquito that’s bothering your roommate. If they are saving your life, you must save a life in turn.

Be warned that it’s no small thing to agree to. If you take the obligation upon yourself, you cannot leave Elsewhere until it is done. The Towers trio are skilled, but they are not the only witches here - you may be able to find another option.

i can confirm the trio on the top floor of the towers are wonderful. they broke a nasty curse i had that had me wandering the campus in a fugue state every night instead of sleeping. one of them is also really good at stick and poke tattoos i got one and it hasn't even faded too much

Professional and multi-talented!

Went to the trio at the top of The Towers to remove the curse that quintuple damned charm I retrieved from my last job. Lovely people, those three. One warned me in beautiful prose of dark oceans and bile filling up my lungs, the second translated that as avoiding any large bodies of water, stay in dry climates for a few days, and visit them once a week to update them on any further dreams, and the last told me to sleep it off and take a couple Motrin tablets through the week.

After visiting them, that night was the first good sleep I've had in a long time, even before the charm. Good timing too, the job requests have piled up a little. I went to check on that student that wanted their charm back, but they were gone. As if they were never real in the first place, the dorm was dusty and seeminlgy unoccupied in years. What do you reckon happened here?

The dream team does it again!

I couldn’t begin to imagine what part of the story we haven’t seen, but I would steer clear of the place unless you’ve got salt and iron in your pockets from now on.

They speak in honeyed words, and speak in riddles. But they fear the witch, for no one else among mortals know the value of the word, of a pact. Spirits know, and the sidhe know. They are just as leery of us as they are you. The only difference is that they believe.
