[The image on screen screams witch. And old woman with grey hair in a stern bun. Dressed in black. Including her hat. Her pointy hat. She also doesn't look terribly pleased, though anyone who has been on the ship long enough is probably used to that.]

Seems we get more 'n' more magic usin' folk every jump. Likely start trippin' over each other if we ain't careful.

Never really held much with covens and the like. But they got their uses fer keepin' track of what everyone else is doin'.

[By which she of course means she can keep track of everyone else's business.]

Worth gettin' together with tea and the like. Make sure there ain't cross spells goin' that'll tear a hole in everythin'.

Gathering up all the magic users over tea?

[Loki responds to this on the network, mostly because he finds that notion fairly amusing.

Hello again.]

[atent_dead]

Always better with tea.

[allfatherissues]

Perhaps, but is the gathering part that may prove more difficult than you think.

Expectin' it to be like herdin' cats.

[She knows witches]

[Hey, look, it's Penelope again! Still in her sunglasses indoors. What's up with that.]

See, this is what I'm saying.

[but of course, no one listens to her... maybe because she's a horrible person, but shh.]

I call Vice President.

[People listen to Granny. Smart ones anyway.]

LIable to blow a hole in somethin' if we don't.

Ain't ever heard of a vice president.

[meanwhileback]

Vice President is like second-in-command. Everybody but the actual President has to do what you say, but you don't have any of the annoying responsibility. Clearly the best position to be in. Since it was my idea, I call VP.

[...it makes perfect sense, to HER. Covens don't even have Vice Presidents, generally, where she's from, but it seems like a pretty sweet deal. Couldn't hurt to try.]

[atent_dead]

Covens ain't generally famed for bein' that structured. Don't even have leader as such.

[Even though she's the most important leader they don't have.]

You all talk of magic very freely.

[ But hello, other old lady magic user. please don't turn him into soup. ]

text;

[atent_dead]

no sense pretending like it dont exist

[Much easier to make people think they've been turned into soup anyway]

[vindictam]

It is preferred, at least to my experience. The alternative is not pleasant.

[ He hasn't seen very much in the way of nice magic. Nevermind getting caught and the persecution that follows. ]

not much use to anyone if you pretend like it isnt around

cant let witchhunters win

A coven.

voice;

[atent_dead]

Not my favourite thing in the world, but looks like we need one.

voice;

[doggedly]

If you want to look incredibly Dark Ages, maybe. No one calls them 'covens' anymore. Anyway, what would the point be? Just tea parties?

[growling]

Please don't.

[ yes that's all. ]

[atent_dead]

And why not?

[growling]

Because I'm pretty sure getting witches together would exponentially increase the odds of something going wrong.

[ that said, he did actually listen to her original point. after a slight pause: ] Is that really a problem? Cross spells?

[quotate]

nothing's had a hole torn through it so far.

[atent_dead]

bit late once its already happened

[quotate]

i'd still enjoy someone actually managing it.
