savetheearth | six for gold | video; backdated to the night of 3/15

[the first thing most people will notice is that she's wearing green makeup - already faded and smudged over the night - and wearing what appears to be a stereotypical witch costume. the second thing is that she's looking a little unsteady. the third is that it's the middle of the damn night and she's out and about in the city. for those inclined towards musicals, you may recognize what she's idly humming and singing under her breath.]

... no good deed goes unpunished, no act of charity goes unresented ...

[her attention goes to the video, finally. she manages a little uncertain grin. she speaks a little more carefully than usual to avoid slurring too much. her Queens accent, though, is a more prominent than usual.]

And people say I'm bad at my religious obligations. I drank the cantor under the table on Purim, what could be more observant than that? [she pauses. looking at you, Marina.]

... Besides actually remembering the High Holy Days. [or avoiding pork. she reaches into her bag, retrieving a water bottle and flicking the cap off. Rachel's just going to down half of that as she keeps walking.]

Anyway, that part isn't important. If anyone saw something last week... [she hesitates, wondering if she should go on with this.] Cloak, four red eyes, about ten feet tall? Tentacles?

That was me, I... lost control. I'm better now, just in case you couldn't tell. [she stumbles, fiddling with her keys as she goes up the steps outside her house. the camera doesn't necessarily stay on her the whole time. ]

This fucking thing... there. [she gets in, pulling off the twisted costume hat and tossing it somewhere.] Oh. For anyone new, welcome to the Numbers Club. I'm Rachel Roth, I write for a living. Apparently, I used to be a demon witch or... something. Jury's still out.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Well, as long as you're okay now, it probably isn't a big deal.

I dint think iy was just a one time thing though.

I'll have to be carefuk, I think this cuykd happen again. But maybe [yeah, guess who is actually too drunk to bother with more than texting now that she's back in her house.]

[Dang, that's quite a few typos. He won't comment though. That would just be rude. She's probably just tired. Happens to everybody.]

But as long as you're worried about it happening again, you'll ensure it won't happen again! Therefore, everything will work out for the best!

[Solid logic.]

[DRUNK TEXTING IS OFFICIALLY TOO MUCH TROUBLE.]

... Maybe a little too optimistic, but I guess that's the basic goal.

[deceptively solid, if a little simplistic.]

Purim? I completely forgot.

It looks like you had fun, at any rate.

You're Jewish?

Probably not enough fun for me to show up ay synagogue more often but I enjoyed muself.

I was raised that way, but I haven't observed in years. Other than keeping Kosher.

My parents arent observsnt but my grandparents are. I only had a bat mitzvah because my bubbe insisted. It's compkicated

I dont even try to keep kosher.

Wish I coulda seen that. It sounds fun.

[never mind, fuck typo texting.]

Victory is sweet, Sam, but the hangover won't be.

Er.

I meant the demon thing.

But drinking people under the table would be good too.

You would think that, wouldn't you?

Good Jew.

[ Hey, she hasn't let makeup touch her face since Lent started. She's good at this. Trying to apologize to Anais can even count as being more Christiany and stuff. ]

So, anyways, please try to keep the tentacle monster under control. I mean, unless Brooke wants you to lose a little control with it, but that's between the two of you.

None of that in public.

[MUFFLED SCREAMING INTO A PILLOW, DAMN IT MARINA.]

[ MUFFLED UPROARIOUS LAUGHTER INTO A PILLOW. ]

Why do I talk to you.

I didn't see anything-ing, but. Did you chay, change back on purpose?

[It dawns on him that the question was pretty nosy, but:] I have some ex, experience with that kinda thing, you know.

[yeah, the response to this one comes in the morning.]

Yeah. Once I calmed down, it was easy. [she pauses.] Listening.

When I started to get power-zuh? Just my tail would grow, and I couldn't control when it happ, happened. But once I practiced, it got way easier, zee-ur.

[He doesn't want to come right out and say she should turn into her demon-witch-or-something on purpose.]

You can lose control of an ability you get?

I don't think it's a blanket rule, mine are just a pain.

[half-muffled by a pillow.]

Still. That means other people could get uncontrollable powers too, right?

[...uhhh] You okay? You don't have to answer if you can't.
