let's not borrow trouble so trouble doesn't borrow us!

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 06/10/2024

Hold on a minute, Caleb. The Darkling shouldn't be able to get in, we've warded the whole house, and the grounds and even went so far as to go out a mile around the property. Remember, that wasn't easy to do. I'll wait out in the hall in case of trouble but >

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 06/10/2024

interested in also, or just using her to get Caleb's power when you were under the Darkling's influence? I'm sorry for bringing it up. Thought you might be able to help from that angle. *After taking a sip* I thought we were past Reid acting like we were his enemies, it's gotten worse in my opinion.

1120

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 06/10/2024

*Taking the coffee from Pogue, thanking them.* Yeah, that look he gave us today almost got him tossed out a window. He looks at us like we're the enemy trying to take her away from him! Chase, do you have any insight into his behavior? I hate to bring up a bad subject but, was it Sarah you were >

1120

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 06/10/2024

than me. The look he gave Pogue said, get the fuck out before I punch you in the face. He's almost feral! What the hell are we going to do with him? Alessa is lost, and he's not helping!!

1130

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 06/10/2024

*Sitting next to Pogue, we just walked in on a conversation that is all about Reid and Alessa. Pogue puts his hand on my knee, I drop mine on top of his hand.* I'm at my end with him, Sarah. How you haven't turned him into a mole or something just as icky, I have no idea! You have more restraint >

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 06/10/2024

Well, that's not what you said and it started WWX, so can you all knock it off? Also, you were supposed to fill us in first so that whatever you found could be discussed with the rest of the class, thus preventing WWX. So, again, knock it off. Pogue, I could use a Coke. Let's all go downstairs.

sibling to deal with who, I might add, according to you, is the FIRST daughter of Ipswich! And, she's what? In love with Reid, the Darkling, or Mal? I'm a bit confused here because if she has feelings for the Darkling, what's his name? @kirigandarkling.bsky.social? We're in trouble, and so is Reid!

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

you remember correctly, hurt Sarah and me! So either let me adjust or If I'm a hazard to your plan, I'll pack up and take off. "NO, you won't!" (That being Pogue.) Well, dammit, I'm trying here. It's been a while since anything happened, and now all of a sudden, we have a new >

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

(When all is said and done, Alatar looks at me with contempt and states, "She cannot return to him"!) LOOK! I may joke around about not wanting her at the Mansion, but that's to protect the people I love and don't want to see hurt anymore. That happens to include Chase who if >

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

(Asking more for myself than the Elders as I've seen the vision conclude, at least on my part.) They continue holding onto one another as the beast tries to take her, and suddenly, a large explosion of light manifests from within her, destroying the nearby Volcra... (Coming from me.) What the hell?

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

is being lifted from the ship. She picks up a rifle and shoots the attacking Volcra. She rushes to Mal, who tells her, "I'll meet you at the meadow." The Volcra swoops back down and digs its talons into Alessa's back. She and Mal hold onto one another!... What the hell is this? >

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

and Os resulting in her entire unit being stationed on the very same skiff to redraw the destroyed maps. Two out of thirty-seven markers into the Fold, the skiff is attacked by Volcra. Wait, Volcra? I thought those were nothing more than myths! We were taught the Volcra was >

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

it should. After several minutes and hearing the others, my sight changes to that of Alessa's friend Mal who has been selected to accompany the Second Army on an expedition across the Fold to Novokribirsk; Alessa destroys the First Army's records of the western coastline >

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

(Not all the time have I fought my magic. It wasn't until the incident with Chase, which was clearly not his fault, that a wall went up between me and my magic. I gripe and grumble, but I'm not happy knowing what once came easy is now more challenging for me to let flow as >

with everyone else's.) "Boo Boo..." *Pogue calls me that when he knows it's the right thing or...at other times of great importance. Romance.* OH! Alright, I want to see, lay it on me. *I can't believe he pulled the Boo card! He still owes me a convo about moving. Bet that move doesn't happen now.*

190

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

wouldn't dare mention it. That was one Darkling and you're saying this one is worse? Do I want to see what's coming? Yes. So then maybe I can head off in the other direction! *This is so frustrating knowing I want to and won't because destiny is real and it's my destiny along >

190

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

*This time Pogue tugs at my hand. He's trying to tell me to be good, and behave, is he crazy?* Hold on a cotton pickin' minute. "Kate." Sarah, no. I don't remember any of us getting a vote on this. I'm still suffering from PTSD from spiders under my skin and everywhere else I >

190

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

but I'm betting you already know that, don'cha? I love my life as a witch. I love being with Pogue and I absolutely LOVE this family. She's a threat, plain and simple. Now, what is it you want us to do with her besides pack her up and give her back to you? I'll go get her right now, say the word.

180

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

*Pogue squeezes my hand but I'm already set to go!* Okay, look, no offense, Elders. This girl is making our lives miserable. We can't trust her, she's got Reid in a tailspin with a hurricane attached to his ass, and Reid on a good day IS a tailspin. This Darkling isn't normal >

180

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

If the cloak and dagger bullshit were to stop, we would get so much farther. There is no love loss between her and us. From the minutes she opened her mouth, she's been combative. How is it that we were not welcoming to her? She was the one throwing knives and insults.

190

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

You mean you could tell us more, but you won't. You just want us to stumble our way through this, which is how we make mistakes, and people get hurt. People who don't need to get hurt. Does this make sense to you? If I sound angry, it's because I am. We want to do as you ask. >>

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 20/09/2024

*Looking up at the windows, and around the rooms as we go.* Gee, I don't know why you would. Look at this place. Do you think they know where everything is, or maybe they have to have a centralized map? I like the antiques, it goes with the over-all theme. One man's home is another Warlock's castle.

1110

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 20/09/2024

They know everything, not to mention hear everything as well. That's how I end up in trouble. It would be nice to have a lift inside? We're not exactly dressed for this weather; they could have at least told us it was winter, I think they make up what fits their fancy. *Huddled close to Pogue*

1110

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 19/09/2024

*Coming in with Caleb and Pogue, Sarah walks in behind us with tea.* Hello, Alatar. *Sarah hands him the glass* If this is about Alessandra, she's fine. No one has hurt her. She's healed up quite nicely, she's ready to go; you can take her with you. *Drops my head, trying not to smirk.*

1120

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 19/09/2024

Oh for fucks sake, Pogue. Are you hearing this shit? *I glare at Alessa, pissed that what comes out of her mouth is criticism. It's aimed at us, people she doesn't even know! How fucking dare she!* Hey, Alessandra! Don't let us stop you, I'll personally show you the fucking door!

1110

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 19/09/2024

*Leaning against Pogue my hand on his chest* I want to know what all that was about. She was running from it when she ran across the road. Why was it chasing her and why did it decide to take Reid on instead of her? *I think I know the answer, but keep quiet.* We really don't need this again.

1110

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

happened, I'd say he got off light.* How are you feeling, Reid? *Not expecting him to answer right away* Our lives just got a whole lot more complicated. We've done complicated before. FYI, if there are spiders involved, I'm out! Bahama's, here I come. I got a teeny-weeny bikini just for the trip.

1120

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

*The last few minutes had been the most intense for the Sons and Daughters of Ipswich. At least in a long time. the elders don't show up on a whim. I get a glass of water for Reid set it on the table in front of him.* Here Reid, take small sips. *to Pogue* He looks pale. Considering what just >

1120

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

Pogue by Chase, who I will handle in due time.* Dammit Chase! *Fuming, I turn around to face her.* We should have let you die. Get the fuck out of this house before I turn you into a slug, bitch!

1110

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

*I was a level of "Hot" over this whole situation before that chick opened her mouth. Shaking my hand out of Pogue's I step over Reid and push Ty out of my way just to get to her* How dare you?!? You know nothing! *I reach for her but two strong arms wrap around me. I get turned back toward >>

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

I lie, blood. He gave her blood, ate breakfast AND then hit the deck. Yeah, that's got it. I distinctly remember saying he shouldn't give her blood, but, once again... nobody listens to me. Must be something in the blood.

1120

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

*crouched down on the floor* I don't see how we could have missed anything. We went out, we hit a girl, she almost died. The Elders told Reid he could fix her, he did. Then he lost his mind, had breakfast, and this is where he landed. *Looks up* Nope, think I got it all. No! >>

1120

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

I don't know what happened. I was talking to him and all of a sudden he looks like that. His face is completely leeched of color. I thought eating was supposed to help if he gave blood. He looks worse than before. Reid, what's the matter. You have to talk to us. *He looks more dead than alive.*

1100

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

We can't let our experience with what happened before cloud our judgment when it comes to helping Alessa. The elders came, put this on us, not just Reid. Let's not jade ourselves into doing the wrong thing and Alessa ends up paying the price. Thanks for the coffee.

1100

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

It's okay to be toast. *laughs* We were all single loaf bread once upon a time. *That really gets a laugh. Val comes over with the coffee for refills.* I'll take that. *I fix a cup for myself Pogue's a beer man until he's not* I'm going to say this because we all need to hear and remember it. >

1100

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

mean any disrespect to her or you, Reid. Let's say for a minute the elders have put you in charge of Alessa. If you're so bamboozled by her how can you keep her safe? The house and grounds are warded but that doesn't make it foolproof Reid, be smart about this as Caleb said. We have work to do.

1100

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

*If it's not one thing with him it's another* Can you please tell me and the rest of the class, what is so fascinating about this girl? She was running away from something, not running toward you. *I look at Ty* Next time man hit a guy will ya? *I take my coffee and hand Pogue's over.* I don't >>

1100

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 17/09/2024

*Pogue and I are down in the kitchen when we realize we're alone. That hardly ever happens at this house especially not today* Hey guys! *Yells up the stairs* I am NOT eating frozen waffles. Get your asses down here, carry Yoda down if you have to. Damn Reid, nothing lasts so you better get going.

1110

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 17/09/2024

Preferably the kind we don't have to cook. There's that little diner down on Mainstreet. *but...* I guess we can't leave her here by herself. It looks like frozen waffles 🤢 with make believe syrup.

1110

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 17/09/2024

Good grief, Reid. We all just finished apologizing to you for treating you like shit. Don't make us have to start smacking you on the head again. *If anyone upsets Sarah, they've got a tiger by the tail in Caleb* I don't know about the rest of you but I would like breakfast. >>>

1110

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 17/09/2024

but I do it anyway. He deserves our understanding after what we've put him through. I kiss Pogue* I'll be right back, baby. *I get up with a groan having gotten stiff from tension. I take off for the stairs*

1100

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 17/09/2024

*Curled up with Pogue on the sofa watching Reid. This is the first time in a long, long, time I've seen him sitting still not being a jerk.* Don't wait until you get light-headed. You need to drink some OJ while you're sitting there. I'll go get some for you. *I loath having to get up >>

1100

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 17/09/2024

It's who we are so let's pick ourselves up by our bootstraps and get to work. We cannot allow a Darkling to best us. He can't have Alessa, Reid, or any of us. We're all about the good, he's everything that is bad. So I say, let's kick his Dark (ling) ass.

190

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 17/09/2024

For me it was wanting to go forward with my life with Pogue, and my friends who are my family, without being different. We've had 'normal' in our lives for so long, I'm not ready to give that up yet. I see now the Elders are showing us that normal is this. Times of quiet and times of chaos. >>

1100

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 17/09/2024

Elders want us to realize. We're still Sons and Daughters of Ipswich. The Elders would never leave Reid out of the circle. Maybe Alessa is the one, maybe not. We know she needs help, that's what we do; help. So let's stop bellyaching about it and do our thing. I mentioned us being complacent. >

1100

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 17/09/2024

*I hate it when he's right. **not** I love him. Every time I think about when I almost lost him I get sick to my stomach* You're right, baby. *I put my arms around his waist* We've been questioning far too many things surrounding her. We've grown complacent and maybe that's another thing the >>

🧙🏼‍♀️~Kate Tunney~🔮 @katetunney.bsky.social · 17/09/2024

*Standing with my hands on my hips.* He busted some brain cells, I knew this would happen. Somebody quick, call the Elders. Find a chalice, we need to be on speed-blood dial here.
