[ hat friend!!! ish smiles. ]

Don't jinx it. But it should be done by Sunday, so assuming this doesn't all fall apart by then?

We might just get one.

[vivens]

[ if only this hat could smile in return!! at least he can laugh. ]

Would you consider being known as a Witch of Miracles at that point?

[ he's kidding! mostly. he is/was serious about ish entertaining the idea of rebranding himself as something else. though to the reason for why they've gathered— ]

It seems like we're gathered here as insurance to make sure that things play out and we can have a nice Sunday.

[calamitish]

That's not snappy enough! [ it needs pizzazz! ] Better than the last one, though.

If we're here for insurance, then we'll just make a contract. I'm bound to those, as you all probably know by now.

[vivens]

We'll just have to keep workshopping it then.

[ he'll laugh but now that ??? has happened and sabo would have reacted in whatever that way would have been; it's kind of something that he's able to banter like this. ]

But, yeah, I'm more than aware.

[ periodically tunes into what our resident umbrella is saying and thinks. ]

Are you aware of what's been happening where we are? [ ..hmm. ] I guess I should start off and ask if you know where we are in the first place.

[calamitish]

Somewhere in the garden but not the garden, right? A different version of the garden on another timeline, maybe.

[vivens]

[ there's a benefit to coming back from reading everything that people have hashed out while i was eeping... ]

Right, and just as Andrew said, it's in a bad state. ...but, hopefully, not to a degree where we can't recover from or deal with.

[ AND NOW THAT I'VE REFRESHED AND SEE THAT THE CONTRACT HAS BEEN MADE— ]

I know the agreement was to return everyone back to the world of our choosing, but what would it cost if I were to offer something to allow us to traverse them? Is that within the realms of things we could work out?

[calamitish]

Quite simply, if I had to do that whenever, wherever, I'd either need to sleep for hundreds of years in between it all which would mean most of you would be dead, or I'd break.

And I'm not willing to do either of those, sorry! I can see if I can arrange something every once in a while, but I'm not ...what do you call those? Taxi?

[vivens]

And I'd rather not have you break or be in that position either. But an occasional trip is better than nothing.

[ give him a moment to think... hmm. ]

Witch of Accord..? Troth?

[ neither sound good to him but at least he isn't callin him the witch of taxis. ]

[calamitish]

Troth reminds me of sloth, so no way. But Accord....

[ he's considering it! ]

[vivens]

It's no "Witch of Ruin", but it's not too bad.

[ and here's sabo with another suggestion. ]

What are your thoughts on "Witch of Form"?

[calamitish]

Hmm...it's a bit flat. But why form?

[vivens]

Because "form" can mean multiple things depending on the context. It can be either referencing a shape or configuration, a particular way to look at something, how something is made, a formality, etcetera.

[ this is where he would be flashing ish a smile if he could. ]

I think it could work for a Witch who just happens to have a few things up his sleeve.

[calamitish]

Hmmmm... I like accord the most out of all of them.

[ it's lofty sounding! ]

[vivens]

Should I call you the Witch of Accord the next time I see you then?

[calamitish]

Sure, might as well see how it actually feels.

[distain]

That's the concern, though, isn't it? According to Yamanbagiri...

We might not even have that long. [She glances at the sword/umbrella/blanket burrito for his take on the time it will take for everything to either fall apart or be repaired.]

[fillintheblanket]

We don't have that long.

[The umbrella confirms it flatly.]

When I asked how much you knew, Ish, I was hoping you also knew a little more about what was happening next to your domain.

[calamitish]

Nottttt really. [ your MM everyone. ]

The dead don't linger where I'm from, they just get taken into the cycle of rebirth or, if they need to be calibrated, worked on a little.

[distain]

[Oh, Jesus.]

[siffriend]

[ (You wonder what calibration means.) ]

[fillintheblanket]

It’s not exactly the death you’re used to. But I guess you’ve had other things on your mind.

[The umbrella sounds exasperated, but not as much as he perhaps should.

He can deal with this, after all.]

Did Yoonhee tell you about what he saw? Because that’s the reason I’m here.

[With a light emphasis on the I .]

[calamitish]

Some kind of curse?

[fillintheblanket]

It’s time. And it doesn’t seem like you can control this one.

It won’t end well for any of us if it’s allowed to continue the way it is.
