You know what? This is really silly.

And I'm really sick and tired of all this hiding and lying to people; I'm not even that good at it. And for what? On the off chance that, out of all the people dragged here from all over the multiverse from different planets and points in time, one of them is going to be a religious nutjob with the intent to kill me?

No. You know what? I'm more powerful that some guy who believe's he's doing "God's work" by killing innocent teenagers. I don't need to live in fear of-- of someone finding out, of all these memory shenanigans, of... bigots.

Peeps of the Tranquility:

My name is Cassie Blake, and I'm a witch. A full-blooded, hundred-percent witch. [The corner of her mouth tweaks upwards, like she finds something about that sentence funny.]

I like to think I'm a pretty peaceful person, you know? I don't like fighting. But if there's anyone here who has a problem with my evil witchiness, well, you can find me on level 20, room 5. Bring it.

Otherwise, peace out.

Considering that worrying about witch hunters is practically a full-time occupation where I come from, I think that particular fear is somewhat justified.

Oh— is that who you were referring then? For your reason for hiding it, I mean.

[in_the_blood]

Turns out there are still some people in the 21st century who take that passage in the bible very seriously. You know the one. "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" and all that jazz.

[inspirited]

Yeah, I've definitely heard of that— though wow, no wonder you kept it a secret.

[in_the_blood]

Yeaaaaaaaah, pretty much. Well, that and everyone I know freaking out and/or causing nationwide panic. Or being on the government's watch-list. Honestly, I don't even know.

[inspirited]

[she just nods at that in understanding] I can only imagine what that must have been like— but you know, I think people are a lot more open minded to accepting things like that around here at least.

[in_the_blood]

Well, I hope so. At any rate, I suspect I'm about to find out.

[Her tone is kind of wry, like she's not exactly optimistic.]

[inspirited]

I've heard mentions of others here and if they haven't had any problems I don't see why you would.

[in_the_blood]

The universe likes to go out of it's way to make special exceptions for me.

[inspirited]

So you think it applies here too?

[in_the_blood]

... I hope not.

Anyway, sorry, I never got your name.

[inspirited]

I hope it's not like that for you either.

Oh! It's okay, I should have introduced myself sooner. My name is Chuck.

[in_the_blood]

[And then she laughs]

Nice to meet you, Chuck. God, that's a cute name. No fair.

[inspirited]

Ah— thank you. [not the reaction she usually gets to her name but she does smile back] It's actually more of a nickname which I prefer to go by really— anyway it's nice to meet you too.

[in_the_blood]

So what you do when you're at home, Chuck? Let me guess... part-time superhero? Alien hunter? This place's collection of weirdness is off the charts.

[She's joking... mostly.]

[inspirited]

[oh my god cassie that actually sounds cool but sadly that is not her life. she shakes her head, laughing just slightly] Nothing nearly that exciting—

I just work at my boyfriend's pieshop.

[in_the_blood]

Aw... that's really cute, though.

Now I've got a craving for pie, too. Damn it.

[inspirited]

Oh! Well that is really easy fix— since either one of us could make one for you.

[in_the_blood]

No way, your boyfriend is here too?

Now it's really not fair.

[inspirited]

Oh— sorry.

He is here too though.

[in_the_blood]

You'll have to introduce me, then. I can't pass up good pie.

Not sure what I could give you in return, though. My magic is pretty unreliable. I'm good at tutoring, though. Need any help passing the SATs?

[The lilt in her voice indicates she's obviously joking.]

[inspirited]

[she laughs slightly] It's okay. I can definitely introduce you to him though.
