witch's questioning {video}

[waterdrop]

[PUBLIC;

[Have a witch opening a box of pizza on a bench in Espoir,
eyes narrowing hesitantly, pulling back as if the pizza is about to bite her. ]

Here I thought the tomatoes were going to run away again. Glad that's over.
[she quietly chews some more, taking in the changing season, before she absentmindedly begins to speak]

Have you been here before and forgotten your time here? Interesting how the mind forgets, wouldn't you say? It must have been boring, if I forgot I was here before. Although vegetables running around isn't exactly my idea of 'fun'. Not on my pizza, at least.

Do you miss your home? Do you even want to go back? And why do you have to? Spare me the sentimental details you'd be surprised how common this answer can be.

[and as she reaches for another slice, a tomato hops off the slice, completely whole again, before bouncing off the bench and onto the dusty path.]

Hm. Guess there were left overs after all.

[with a shrug and a lazy blink at the camera the witch closes off the feed. ]

Of course I miss it and wish to return. I doubt you'd find many people saying otherwise. As for why I must return, it is my duty to be there for my emperor and royal family.

But there is always another side to doubt, you know.

And why is that? What loyalty do you owe them?

[gesangvoll]

As true as that may be, I can't imagine why anyone would prefer remaining here over returning home.

As for your question, a better one would be "what loyalty do I not owe them?" My emperor and his family have served and protected me for hundreds of years. I would not be who I am today were it not for them.

[aevitas.livejournal.com]

Have you not heard? Some claim they are 'dead' in their world. Or else I'm mistaken and this is a place for the afterlife.

And why have they protected you? You feel nostalgic.

[gesangvoll]

If this were a place for the afterlife, I would certainly not be here. I would have remembered dying, I believe.

Why would they not protect me? Without me, they would not have the sort of life they prefer to live.

[aevitas.livejournal.com]

It isn't, for it's not possible for me.

And who are you, that they would do so much?

[gesangvoll]

I am their country, of course. It is only natural that a royal family would defend their country, is it not?

[aevitas.livejournal.com]

I see. The country's I've been hearing about. And what country are you?

[gesangvoll]

Austria. Might I ask who you are?

[aevitas.livejournal.com]

Austria..I remember you. That familiar feeling wasn't ill-founded after all.
C.C.

[gesangvoll]

We've spoken before, then? I apologize, I do not recall whether we have or not.

[aevitas.livejournal.com]

Not like this, no. I didn't know you could be a person.

[gesangvoll]

Many here seem surprised by that. You've visited my home before, though? Did you find it to your liking?

[aevitas.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed it while it was around. That was ages ago in my time.

[gesangvoll]

[Well. Even though he knows about the whole different people from different worlds thing here in Somarium, that is worrying.]

What do you mean 'while it was around'?

[aevitas.livejournal.com]

It was eventually disbanded during global conflicts, I'm afraid.

[gesangvoll]

I am assuming this event is something only your world shares, then. [Because really. His home? Disbanded? Hahahahaaa, you are funny C.C.]

[aevitas.livejournal.com]

What year is it in your time?

[gesangvoll]

1914, but the year is hardly important. [since, you know, he'll be around longer than that.]

[aevitas.livejournal.com]

It is, actually. But I'm simply a 'witch', not a messanger of what's to come.

[gesangvoll]

A witch? Funny, you don't seem the type, in my opinion, unless you're concealing a broomstick or a cauldron somewhere I cannot see.

[aevitas.livejournal.com]

I'd imagine that you would hold to tradition, Austria. You truly haven't changed from how I remembered you to be.

[gesangvoll]

[He's not too sure what to make of that, but it sounds nice enough.]

That's good to know, then.

[aevitas.livejournal.com]

I wonder.
