video (un: man's greatest treasure)

[reparo]

[the video shows a very close up angle of her face, because someone hasn't bothered taking the pendant off to film this. there is a thin balance between amusement and panic on her face, too. she draws in a breath and:]

May have made a mistake.

[from beyond the video, a bird interrupts her confession almost on cue:]

CA-CAW

[she angles the video quickly to a murder of about ten crows in the grass, at her feet, looking up at her. she brings the video back to her face.]

Umm. I fed one. It followed me three days ago, and I had some biscuits in my bag, and I unthinkingly fed it. The next day it brought two friends over. The next day, they also brought friends over. [it's a pyramic scheme of crows.] And now this. [there's a bit more caw-ing in the background, and the camera shakes while she moves to clearly feed them again, because she doesn't know any better.]

Also one swooped down to nip at a villager's hat today because he was looking at me, so I think I might have a murder. Of crows. On my hands. [she's secretly pleased with that wordplay.]

So - that's all from me. Public apologies to the family for the ruckuss.

[ooc: SORRY FAM #10 but if you dont't want a murder of birbs, why claim a witch is your sister? dated to after the fox weddings.]

[ Well. ]

I can try to talk with them. If you have in mind what you want to ask, or tell them.

voice; 1/2

[reparo]

...you speak crow?

voice; 2/2

[reparo]

Do they like me?

[topoiran]

Among other languages, I do. And while to fully answer that question, I will need to find you and talk with them, I strongly suspect that the answer is 'yes,' if they are protective of you.

[reparo]

[The softest and most girly Aww. The murder likes her.]

I'm one broomstick and a giant hat away from being a stereotype.

[topoiran]

[ There is... a small pause. ]

Stereotype?

[ The ones he knows don't include witches, sadly. ]

[reparo]

Ah yes - because that's what witches wear in stories for children, where I'm from.

[topoiran]

Broomstick...

I believe where I come from, one would associate a staff with one, more than that.

Is the stereotype something you wish for or object to?

[reparo]

[Merlin was considered to have used a staff.] We still use something similar to cast magic, just smaller. It makes it easier to hide them, really.

As for the stereotype, I think all stereotypes are bad, because they create a situation in which someone is cast in a role out of prejudice. That said...I don't much mind.
