Let's get this train a rolling. Still no proc for a new Wu, which has surprised me, but it's getting there. Now i'm down to anything between 50 and a hundred on my d100. Always fun to look in on the process. But you aren't really here for that, you're here to befriend an ancient witch that's been hanging around you for a few months or whatever!

Time is weird.

And my disclaimer. I swear I own nothing, not the place, time, or setting of this writing. What I DO own are means by which generous people can help and support a young man if they should choose. Available here and here, or my profile for those curious. The first is to my P A treon, and the second is to a fund, for commissions or if you think I could use a little something extra.

Let's get to Socialization.

IDIOT! KYU TAMA~

After a day of such great progress, and potential schadenfreude, you felt it it was time to talk with Wuya.

At best you got a little closer to an ancient witch who led you to wonderful artifacts hidden around the globe like a child's light novel, at worst your world view would be cracked open like the fragile egg it apparently was.

'Fool me one, shame on me, fool me twice, shame on you, three times I need to stop asking.' Was your thoughts on the answer as you found out where Wuya was 'haunting' these days when she wasn't startling the bejesus out of you. The movie room was...not where you were expecting.

Nor was finding her watching...a serious clown murdering people while an Irish voice commentated and that song from Fraiser?

Oh baby I hear the blues a calling, tossed salads and scrambled eggs, oh my~

"No, damnit! I'm not killing them fast enough!"

Oh baby I hear-

"No! The shotgun, shotgun will answer this problem!"

Oh Baby I-

"Damnit! In the time it took me to kill one two more came through! No-hoho!"

"Bahahaha! Ah, ah, too true! Always more! Bahahaha!"

And the ancient witch herself laughing her spectral ass off as the youtube footage continued to roll, going into an admittedly funny remixing of Two Friends with gunshots, but this was still NOTHING like you were expecting.

"Uh, Wuya?" You asked somewhat hesitantly, wondering if this wasn't just a weird dream or something brought about by odd ice or some kind of exhaustion.

As the Witch abruptly stopped her laughter and shot her masked face in your direction, you leaned closer to the thought of this being a nightmare, before the the anger previously held in her expression instantly disappeared, taking on a look you could only describe as lazy.

"Oh. It's only you. What do you want today, Jack?" She asked you as she lazily turned back to the screen, half 'slouching' in the air.

You felt your eyes twitch at the clear dismissal, but carried on.

"Oh, nothing much, just wondering what an ancient spirit fills her days with when she's not shattering minds and world views with simple sentences, maybe wondering if you'd actually teach me some magic, get to know the evil I awoke, yaknow?" You began to list with increasing sarcasm, letting her know exactly how you felt at the moment.

She, could care less.

"Very well, I shall answer your questions thusly, before I may return to my matters. I fill my days with knowledge of how the world has changed in my absence, and decided that today would be a break day to catch up on what most consider quality entertainment." At this, she waved a tendril lazily at the scene, paused on the image of the clown man now dressed like with a shotgun.

"And it warms me to the depth that was formerly my heart to know that at the very least, violence and comedy still go hand in hand. Much like Fire and comedy. Or Fire and Drama. Or sometimes both at once. But that's just my ramblings. No to the magic, and you know now the Witch who was associated with Hell enjoys violence. We are ever so much closer. Now get out." Words said, she turned back to the screen, pressed her masks edge to the remote she was using, and a new video was brought up.

First to a 100 kills wins.

"Ahh, the classics~"

And no matter how much you screamed, shouted, or tried to get her attention again, you had lost the spirit of malice and fire to the depths of the internet.

"Fuck you then, I'm going on a picnic!" You finally, after six straight minutes of the most annoying yelling and demanding you could think off, declared after deciding you didn't need this kind of stress for this, you had a life you could be living!

And wham bam you were having a Koga approved lunch, basket and fuckin all, and were having a delightful lunch in the sun under an outdoor garden. At some point Dandy and Kristen wandered into it as well, but that was mostly the smell of food doing its work. it was a nice time filled with plenty of nothing, and honestly made you feel pretty good about your choice of action...wait a minute...

DID SHE PLAN THIS!

END OF CHAPTER!

END OF CHAPTER

And there we have it folks. We found out what Wuya has been doing in the last while she hasn't been in sight of us, got rejected on the magic front outright, and had a nice picnic out with a gate-crashing sis and plantimal. Not too bad. Though for those wonder about the rejection...wait a rank. Then we get reasoning and world building galore. Though you can also infer quite a bit of the early reasons from her little explanation about a few chapters ago, the last time magic came up. Enjoy ya'll.
