What's October Without a Witch?

[legendarywitch]

[There seems to be a new castle on the outskirts of town, and while the rumor is that a witch lives there everything seems surprisingly... bright and chipper. The crows perched in nearby treas are pink and the cat sleeping in one of the front windows bears a multitude of colorful stripes in its fur.

Anybody brave enough to knock on the double doors will be greeted by a smiling Rin in her cute and fashionable ensemble. Need a cure for a broken heart? A potion to shed some unwanted pounds? Whatever your problem, there's a good chance she can solve it.]

[The man in purple does brave enough to knock the front door in purpose of looking for safe place instead for asking for cure. Once he sees the girl, he greets shyly.]

H--Hello!

[legendarywitch]

[She gives a small curtsey and opens the door wider for her new guest.]

Welcome welcome! Would you like to come in?

[voicelessguitar]

Yes, please. Thank you.

[He steps in looks around inside the castle. To be honest, this amuses him a lot.]

[legendarywitch]

[She'd be quite happy to hear that. Rin likes her castle to be a nice and inviting place. As it is she's already looking more bubbly as she begins walking towards one of the side hallways- it's so exciting to have visitors!]

We were just sitting down to tea in the garden, if you'd like to join us.

[And by "we" she means a small gathering of the crows and cats that also call the place their home. They have been good friends now that she isn't being constantly visited by people with requests. They all have their own teacups and everything.]

[voicelessguitar]

Um... We? Am I interrupting?

[Tea does sounds nice but he might be out of her way in the middle of her break time. And no, he doesn't know about her 'friends'; the crows and cats, which are invited to her tea party.]

[legendarywitch]

[She turns around on her heels and gives Violet a reassuring smile.]

Oh no, you're not interrupting at all.

[A little more of a walk down that hall brings them to a round wooden door that is already open to a garden full of all sorts of blossoming flowers (many of them from different seasons, but they've had magic cast on them). In the middle clearing sits one big table with a carefully arranged tea set and a small tray of cakes and scones atop it. One cat sits on the table as well, a cup labeled "Shima" in front of him. Several other small tables litter the space for the cups of the other cats and crows.

Currently there's only one chair at the big table, and as soon as Rin notices this she utters something along the lines of "this won't do", picks her wand up off her own chair and summons not only another seat for her guest but a cup and saucer as well.]

Much better. Do have a seat, please.

[voicelessguitar]

[Violet does immediately follows behind her and soon when she reveals the garden, he stops to look around. Again, he impressed by it. There's so many type of flowers he can see here. He isn't jealous about it, but realization is in immediate when there are more kinds of flowers to be seen.

Then he was greeted by a small party of cat and crow. He stuns when the Rin summons another seat with cup and saucer.]

Um.. Thank you.

[He takes a proper seat and turns to the animals.]

They are your guests as well?

[legendarywitch]

No, they live here with me. Although Hugo over there showed up not too long ago.

[She points her wand to one of the crows whose feathers are tinged with pink. The rest of the birds are already fully pink but sometimes the magic takes a little longer to work. All of the cats are striped, with Shima having the most vibrant colors since he's been around the longest.]

[voicelessguitar]

[Violet makes a small smile to the animals and bows.]

Nice to meet you, friends.

[Then turns back to Rin.]

They look very friendly, and colorful.

[legendarywitch]

[Shima bows back, and some of the crows caw softly. Rin's smile widens before she flicks her wand and causes the teapot to float over and pour until Violet's cup is full. It then moves on to Shima's cup and those of the other animals.]

I'm glad you think so. Everything was so dark and creepy when I first got here but I fixed that right up.

[voicelessguitar]

Thank you.

[Violet is about to take a sip but the reply made him stop for a moment.]

It does. It's Halloween month after all, and everything went dark.

[Then he places the cup on the table without drinking it.]

I-- um... would like to apologize. I didn't come here to visit this castle. I was just... I'm afraid of what is going on outside. It's too scary for me to walk around in darkness. And that's how I found this place, to hide from them.

[legendarywitch]

I see.

[Finally her own cup is filled, and she magics a couple of sugar cubes into her tea before taking a sip.]

I have not gone out myself but some of the animals have told me about it. Sounds rather dreadful, honestly, and a lot like what people would expect from my ancestors. But I'm not that kind of witch, I promise. You're welcome to stay here as long as you wish. We have more than enough room.

[voicelessguitar]

[Violet stares at the cup of his.]

I am very appreciate for your offer. However, I must decline. A friend of mine must be worry sick if I didn't come back. He knows that I... don't have a courage on anything.

[defender]

[she doesn't knock on the doors exactly — much too polite to intrude anywhere she doesn't have a purpose for visiting — but she is standing in front of the castle, her lips pursed in bemusement]

...this is new.

[legendarywitch]

[Why yes, yes it is. All in all it does seem to have a very cheerful and inviting atmosphere. One of the crows calls out, and in moments a polka-dotted cat with one stripe running around his midsection strides lazily over and sits down next to her. He then lets out a loud 'meow' to get her attention.]

[defender]

[oh god it's pink too. laughs and crouches down to meet the cat's gaze]

Well, then. Do you live here, pretty kitty?

[legendarywitch]

[Of course he's pink too. There hasn't been a black cat on the grounds since Rin moved in, and Alexander is no exception. He nods and then begins rubbing his face against Miku.]
