My very favorite Christmas song is "Carol of the Bells".

Especially when done by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra!

(Witchy to continues for The Fox)

"Ah~ Thank you dear. "

The witch cast a glance down the way she was supposed to go and strut down towards the back of the library, her unseen heels clicking neatly and rhythmically on the wood floor. Before she was out of sight though, she threw one last veiled, conceited glance at Millie and a lascivious set of bedroom eyes to Griffin.

In her absence came a discomfort, like she was just some spirit who'd passed through

____________________________

The look Jezebel gave Millie before leaving them made her hair bristle up more, she felt as she had just been challenged. Before Griffin could even think about doing anything he was pulled all the way to a different corner of the library, the furthest corner away from where Jezebel disappeared to.

"Millie, what th-!?"

"SHH!"

" Don't you shoosh me child, what the hell's gotten into you now?" He griped.

"What's gotten you?" Millie counterd, "Since when do you ever... flirt??? Especially with people like her?"

"She's very pretty and started flirting with me first..." Griffin answered through clenched teeth.

"A little too pretty if you noticed,"Millie added, "it's very uncanny... like a doll..."

"Oh so that's it-- You're jealous." He said flatly as he crossed his arms.

"Under which definition of 'Jealous' do you mean exactly?" Millie remark, "Because if you meant 'Envious' then-- no, I'm not. But she did make me very uncomfortable, it was she was a mountain lion trying to challenge me the moment I opened that door, and don't you think it's a bit odd that the first reaction to seeing an invisible man is to... flirt...? I mean, it's not that you're ugly-- you're actually very- uh-- good looking..." She could feel herself get more flustered from the awkwardness of the conversation, "you know, when people can actually see you... But flirting with you while you're invisible is a bit suspecouse if you ask me."

"I'll have you know that plenty of women have been interested in me in my invisible state." Her uncle haughtily retaliated, "they find it mysterious and alluring."

"Uh-huh sure..." Millie sarcastically said in a dead pan tone, she was starting to feel like this was turning into the kind conversation an uncle shouldn't be having with his neice and tried storing the topic back to where she wanted "but anyway, there's still that threatening presence, and she's obviously a magic user in this world that actually has magic in it."

The headless shirt shrugged as he asked, "So?"

"So what if her flirting with you has a more sinister motive behind it?"

Millie heard a short come from him at what she just suggested along with a chuckle.

"Oh Millie, you're just jealous, it's so obvious." He was about to walk away with that note but Millie grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"If by 'jealous' you mean 'suspicious' or 'protective', then sure, maybe, I'll make now denial of that but it's only out of concern for you! If it's just about the... Um... 'procreation'..." She felt so awkward saying that.

And her uncle attempted to make it worse, "You mean Se-"

"YES! That!" Millie quickly interjected before he could finish that last word, she rolled her eyes at his snickering and continued, "If it was only about... That... I wouldn't care, so long as I'm nowhere near you two when you're doing it... but I don't want you being lured by her thinking you going to get... 'That' and end up being a sacrifice for whatever hell God she worships, or having your soul eaten, or whatever else she can do in this world that has magic in it..."

"Are you sure it's 'magic'?" He asked scepticly.

"Pseudoscience! Whatever! Do you understand what I'm getting at!?" She said impatiently.

Griffin sighed and put an invisible hand on her head, "Yes, I know what you mean, and you're giving me too little credit. I'm a grown man, I can take care of myself, and I think I can handle this thank you very much."

Millie wrapped her arms around Griffin's waist, holding him tight as she said with her face berried in his stomach, "I don't want her to kill you..."

"Millie... I think I can honestly say I've been through worse..."

Millie's grip around him tightened which made him let out another sigh.

"Let's just do what we came here for..." He grumbled before prying her off of him.

Millie took a deep breath, exhaled and nodded.

The Fox  MillieGriffin • 8 months ago

A titter passed from the catalyst's lips as she delicately hooked the spines of books with impeccable grace.

She could only barely hear the argument that was ensuing between the two, but she could definitely feel the feeling of it. It's lopsided worry and cool arrogance fluttered like a butterfly's wing in the cage of her apathy. So the shifter is worried hmm~? How quaint

A sly smile cut into her cheeks, pernicious and wicked, revealing, in her privacy, a chaotic playfulness that only witches could ever have.

So naive was the little one to think she had any interest in her hurting her uncle. She would never give more than necessary attention to any one person or thing. His invisibility was something she'd never seen, not in this way besides, and she couldn't help but be taken in. Given the state of science, it's not exactly the most inconspicuous disguise and to see one flaunt it off to readily simply tickled her.

Though she would take her attention elsewhere soon enough, the invisible man had her fancy for the night.

That said though, she could say the same for the library.

Paging through books, it was clear there was no new knowledge to be found here. She hadn't expected to find any from the start, but it's always worth the look no matter what drudgery it takes.

Her smile softened into one more becoming and elusive as she went from book to book, leaving no sign she was there as she put them back just as quickly as she took them. The low, slow thunk of her heels filled the space around her, as did her predatory air, softer then before but still palpable.

It was good to know that these people didn't even know the breadth of basic magic, though they knew a great deal many. They were at best apprentices working with a master's well aged tools, but at the end of the day the master would come back, and then they would see what they were really dealing with.

In her solitude, she mused on how long it would take to rid herself of the two so that she may investigate the rest of the building to her leisure, then thought perhaps only to distract Millie.

A sinister chuckle formed in her throat, and that same witchy smile returned.

The two left the library to conduct other business.

Of course, they couldn't just leave their guest by herself. She knew this, and though it was tempting to simply vanish beneath their noses, the witch set about on a better scheme; more complicated for sure but worth the trouble.

Slinking in behind them, Jezebel sidled up to Griffin and gently looped her arm in the air around his. With more than a silent request, she put her hand to his shoulder and grinned.

" Oh~? So you're not going to see if I was satisfied with my search? You were just going to leave me there while you waltzed off~? "

Both eyebrow arched as she looked between the two with a smirk.

" The least you could've done is tell me you were leaving if you truly needed to leave me alone. "

A titter fluttered out from the witch and her face played at a dissonant friendliness that made her eyes shine bright and sharp, their sharpness aimed at Millie as expected. Their glittering points seemed softened though, not quite so condescending.

It seemed that for once, she might be taking a liking to her, but why and what for was unclear.

With something like a purr, she pulled Griffin's arms close and cocked her head.

" Could you at least take me around the building, to see the others before you run away? "

She fluttered her eyes, her face at the moment one of pure intent.

((I don’t really listen to many actual “Christmas carols”. I usually listen to other sort of seasonal songs or songs that sound like winter. (I know I sound super vague here, but I mean songs like Oh Miss Believer by twenty one pilots)

Also, has anyone gone to see Bohemian Rhapsody at the cinema? It’s great, I’d definitely recommend going to watch it :3 ))

@Pyrogue *taps you on shoulder*

Pyrogue “Alright. Go ahead.”

“Thank you”

The tendrils parted as he walked to the door and unlocked it. They dragged themselves back inside the room as he entered. The bird landed on the demon’s shoulder. “You actually going to help him?”

“I suppose you would know about that” the bird answered. “Oh look, what’s he drawing?” It jumped of Asmodeus and flew into the room.

“Bet he’d have done it if you’d said you’d hurt him instead” said the fox, patting up to sit in the doorway. “I thought you would say that”

Asmodeus simply watched the man as he carried out the procedure.

The doctor was kneeling by a glass cylinder in the far right corner of the room. There was a dark substance roiling and bubbling inside of it. Tubes extended out from the top and bottom of the cylinder to tables at each wall of the room, filled with glass and scientific equipment. Dark clots and stains smeared the inside of the glass where the substance had extended or been pumped out into the flasks and vials.

He finished carving into the cylinder with the nail and sat down crosslegged in front of it. He tied the tourniquet around his arm before, with a low wince, he cut open his left wrist. Instead of drying, the droplets of blood rolled across the floor and seemed to be sucked into the runes and what looked like crude drawings of animals ingraved into the glass. He looked over at the demon.

“It should be enough when the glass is almost completely red” he said hoarsely. He’d barely uttered the words before the blood began pouring out of his wrist, seeming to be pulled from his body into the cylinder. The creature in there was quickly obscured by a red mist. The man slumped forward, his wrist falling from his lap to the floor and rapidly turning corpse white.

Asmodeus closely watched the cylinder as it began to fill up. They were silent.

(( My favorite Christmas tunes are 'In the Bleak Midwinter' because it was the first song I got to sing as a solo, and 'Masters in this Hall' because 1) its an absolute bop (the version I learned at least) and 2) Its very challenging (read, very fun) to sing :D

Edit: found a video version of the piece I learned finally, after having been looking for it for days ;-;
