Which Witch?

[not_good_not_wicked]

When she got her smartphone, Marisa shoved it in her pocket and promptly forgot about it. Something about talking to people. She can already do that. Much more interesting is checking out this new city. She can't say it's unlike anything she's ever seen before because obviously she doesn't remember, but it does seem very strange and exotic.

So there's a girl wandering around town in a classic witch outfit. Pointy hat, broom, the whole nine yards. You can finder her staring curiously at seemingly mudane things, like street lights, automatic doors, and cars. Also, her pockets (of which she has numerous) are bulging with random stuff she's found that seemed interesting.

In short, looks like you got another medieval kid. A curious one.

[Yeah, he's just watching. At least at first.]

Hey. Looking for something?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Not really.

Oh wait. Yeah. I'm looking for those anemoi thingies.

[blue_flames]

I hate to say it, but the only way you're going to get any in the city is if you get a job.

[not_good_not_wicked]

That's probably just because you're not looking hard enough. Anyways there's all kinds of neat stuff in this town, so it's totally worth just looking around!

[blue_flames]

Have you been picking things up off the street and putting them in your pockets?

[He noticed the bulges.]

[not_good_not_wicked]

I'm not stuffing my pockets with garbage, only stuff that looks cool. Like this thing!

[Waving around a pocket calculator]

I don't even know what it is, but I'm gonna find out! You don't know what it is, do you?

[blue_flames]

That's not important. Are you taking this stuff off the street, or are you going into stores and taking things off their shelves?

[not_good_not_wicked]

They had a whole shelf of them. They're not gonna miss just one.

[blue_flames]

That doesn't matter. They still deserve the money they should get from the sale.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Well obviously I would pay for it if I had any money. For now, I think my tragic loss of memory means I should get a bit of slack.

[blue_flames]

You should have money. The government gives you money once a month, starting with the day you arrive.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Well they sure didn't give me any. Just a bunch of papers and stuff.

[blue_flames]

They give you a special note that you have to take to the bank. You should have that on you...

...Somewhere in there.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Well thanks for the tip. I'll just go and do that then.

[Casually stolling off, whistling nonchalantly.]

[blue_flames]

Hang on! You didn't introduce yourself.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Oh right, guess I didn't. I'm Marisa. Apparently I'm a witch.

[blue_flames]

What? How do you know that?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Pointy Black Hat? Black Dress? Broomstick?

This ain't exactly high philosophy.

[blue_flames]

You could have shown up wearing a disguise. Who's to say?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Hmm, fair enough.

Okay either a witch or a spy pretending to be a witch.

[blue_flames]

...Well, whatever. My name is Ike. No surname.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Alright. Seeya Ike, gotta go get my money!

[blue_flames]

Sure. Make sure you pay for the stuff you took, all right?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Sure right that too.

*We hope you weren't TOO determined to get at that boxed lunch sitting next to what seemed to be a sleeping lady with a lot of fox tails as a fashion statement, because her hand's just shot out and trapped both your hand and the box down to the bench.

Her eye cracks open.*

And what were you intending on doing with that, hmm?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Uh...knock some bugs off it before they got into your lunch?

[faithful_kitsune]

Of course.

And the real intent?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Do you even hafta ask? I was hungry.

[faithful_kitsune]

A CIVILIZED creature would have asked.

[not_good_not_wicked]

But you looked so comfy napping there.

[faithful_kitsune]

Then you should have left me be instead of attempting to steal my lunch. Honestly, is it that complicated?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Can I have a riceball? Pretty please with sugar on top?

[faithful_kitsune]

That's more like it.

*She opens the box and passes her one.*

You must be the new person the skies portended had arrived. I am Ran.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Mosh ree. 'ames Rarisha.

[Then she swallowed her bite of riceball.]

Name's Marisa.

[faithful_kitsune]

A pleasure, even if your philosophy on property is... lax.

I am assuming you have been properly briefed on our situation?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Yeah. Anemoi, missing memories, gods. All that mess. I'm still just looking around.

[faithful_kitsune]

Take your time. For all our troubles, this city can be actually rather relaxing. Though they WILL notice if property goes missing, I might point out. The abandoned outskirts would be better for that sort of thing anyway.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Ooh that sounds neat. I'll bet people left tons of interesting stuff just lying around.

[faithful_kitsune]

As long as it's stuff not currently in anybody's possession, I'm sure nobody minds.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Jeez let it go already. Just because I tried to steal one thing from you doesn't make me a thief.

[faithful_kitsune]

*For some reason, she's not entirely sure of that.*

Just being careful.
