Closed starter for @fengforhire

Location: Brewed awakening

Brewed Awakening was the perfect place for a struggling witch desperate to finish their dissertation, earn enough to buy fresh bread on the occasion, and work complex spells to track those effected by horrific curses their family had created when the cafe was quiet. Cham liked to work on the curse between the breakfast and lunch rushes, her brain working best after the first round of espresso and the knowledge that if things got too terribly dark and depressing that they could depend on a rush of customers to distract her.

She was painting a new tracking board, her last one having met an unfortunate end when it spontaneously caught fire, and didn’t even process that a customer had come in until she saw movement out of the corner of her eye. “Shit, sorry be with you in just a moment” she called, muttering a quick spell to keep the ink from drying prematurely, before rushing back behind the counter. “Sorry I’m working with an ink that has acorn, alder and balsam fir as the base. And the acorn and alder are getting around great but the balsam fir really wants to take over and make the pigment yellow, which wouldn’t be the worst thing except it throws off the balance and-“ Cham cut herself off with a start as she realized she was rambling and while she was fairly certain the woman in front of her was a witch she had no idea her practice or realm of influence and could very well just be spouting nonsense to a poor unsuspecting customer. “I’m sorry, I get a bit of tunnel vision when I’m working. What can I get you?”

☆—Spread the Love! | Valentines Mix-up

DJ Ben stretches out in his chair, yawning silently to himself.  The Delibirds flew out just a few hours prior, and he feels nothing but utmost confidence in them.  He’d never bring it up to Mary, but he still can’t believe how the messages managed to get mixed up for three years running.  He’s determined to make this Valentine’s Day go as smoothly as possible.  Delibird are known for their innate delivery skills.  How could anything go wrong?

Ben’s going to show Mary that letting him take the reigns of this event wasn’t a mistake.  Everything was going to go right this year!  He has a good feeling about these Delibird as they return, one-by-one, to the Radio Tower.  Passing around nicely-decorated Pokepuffs to each obedient Delibird as reward, DJ Ben can’t help but feel all too pleased with himself about the event.

Such a shame he mixed the Delibirds up on their way out.

What DJ Ben brings to you, under the cut, is a tragic tale of woe.  Each Valentine has been preserved in its original state.  None of the people who actually received each Valentine were the intended recipients.

To further add to the confusion, each Valentine was randomized three separate times along with their sender counterparts.  Thanks to the based RNG gods, some people received quite the coincidental string of Valentines…

[sunshincwitch]

It’s encouraging to not just immediately be disregarded, or have the other witch immediately call for the pitch forks. Cham isn’t clamoring to become a coven leader by any means, but if someone else were to suggest it she wouldn’t refuse the invitation. She might even offer to host a meeting or two. “It could definitely be interesting, I wouldn’t begin to know where to start with it though. I just think there is room for more collaboration, but that could even just be witches from different covens talking more” she makes sure to stay casual, not pushing and trying not to seem too invested.

There’s something more to Jac’s carefully chosen words, but Cham isn’t about to push her into something she would be uncomfortable discussing. She would rather preserve the possibility of friendship. The declaration that she had no magic is a shock to her however and she isn’t sure how well she hides that, her eyebrows contract as words fail her for a moment. It wasn’t so long ago that she had given up magic entirely, and her mind immediately began running through reasons she might do the same. “Oh… sorry to go on and on. I’m guessing that makes things weird with your siblings. Not that you have to talk about it. Sorry, I’m really just putting my foot in my mouth.” She trailed off with a laugh, rubbing the back of her neck awkwardly. “Well if you ever want to get away from all that I’m practically always here”

Jac nods along with Cham's statements, agreeing with her points. A coven that was based more on ideals than techniques was an intriguing thought, not one that she herself had ever considered, but the picture that the other witch paints isn't a negative one. She wonders if maybe she would be more comfortable in a coven that was based on a shared vision, rather than the luck of the genetic lottery. But having lived her entire life with the idea that bloodline matters pounded into her head, she can't quite imagine it. "I think it could work," she hedges. "I don't know how, but if someone wanted to do it, I think they could probably find people who agreed."

Jac looks down with a rueful smile when the conversation turns to siblings. Again, she can't fathom being an only child. Her entire life has been defined by her relationship to her siblings. Every milestone and accomplishment has five others to be compared against, and almost always, Jac is found lacking. "Siblings are complicated," she shrugs, choosing the diplomatic answer as always. She knows there are those out there who are tight-knit and devoted to each other, who love and fight each other in equal measure, but that's not how she is with any of her siblings. The worst thing would actually be defying her mother's explicit instructions, though she supposes she was already doing that in her own way. "Oh I... I don't have magic like that." The lie is bitter on her tongue but she forces it out anyways. "I'm just... the data person."

[sunshincwitch]

“Thats what draws me to them honestly, I get why most covens are family based but its not like ALL disciplines are strictly bloodline based. Though I do think it would be interesting to have a coven that isn’t practice specific, but more values based or even just a group of witches who are invested in uncovering arcane secrets by learning about practices other than their own." Maybe she is being a little too candid, but the other witch seems like the type to go running around telling people the lone witch in the woods wants to radicalize coven structures. The old guard didn’t exactly look kindly on witches who tried to shake up their regime. It’s not like she would actually do it, leading a coven sounded like an utter nightmare, and more work than she wanted to even think about. 

“Thats really interesting, I was a bit of the odd one being so connected to plants, no siblings to bounce things off of, though I hear siblings aren’t all they are cracked up to be” she used to be jealous of the other coven kids who had sibling, cousins just weren’t the same. But after everything she had learned about her family, the ways she was used before she learned to question. Her magic tapped, her thirst for knowledge harvested and honed until they could twist it to their own horrific goals. “I think you should try it, worst thing that happens is you master one right?”

Jac responds with a similar smile and a duck of her head, not used to actually having her magic appreciated by... anyone, really. It's why she doesn't comment when Cham fumbles over the question about her coven. She's no stranger to strained relationships with coven members, and the expectations that can heaped on them when they say they're connected a specific group. She had hated it as a child, when people thought she should have been able to manipulate water or earth like the rest of her family, only to find she couldn't do anything at all.

"That's cool," Jac affirms, mind already spinning with all of them things she knows about Cham's specialty. The time she spends at Hawthorn has given her some familiarity with the local plants, and she has been known to pester other witches, simply to take in everything that she could, even if it wasn't connected to the elements. "I know a few Phial witches. They seem okay, but I don't know what their internal structure is like. Might be easier since it's not family-based though," she points out. But then the conversation turns back to her, and Jac feels that same note of panic. "Uh, well, kind of both," she hedges, trying to decide how much she can reveal. One lone, unconnected witch knowing about her magic could hardly be a crime, but she doesn't know how to disobey her parents. "The theory is usually the same even with different elements. We feel an affinity towards one element more than the others, but with enough practice, it's possible." She thinks it's possible, not that they'd ever let her try. "I mean... that's what my siblings say," she adds quietly.

[sunshincwitch]

“No trouble at all, especially for a fellow witch who is willing to offer tips to help with my spellwork” Cham beams back, her smile paired with a playful wink, already moving to put the muffin in the toaster oven. She listens as she works, letting the other witch talk as she takes out her payment. 

Her hands freeze when Jac asks about her coven, fumbling slightly and nearly dropping the ice scoop. She never knows how to answer that question, it would probably be easier to join Phial at this point but the thought of being in that situation again, that hierarchy and pressure, it kept her up at night. “Yeah, plants and all things green are my specialty, but by extension life energy” she busies herself with finishing the coffee, waiting for the muffin to finish heating, secretly willing the buzzer to never ding. But it did, of course, so she placed the hot muffin on a plate and placed it down on the counter in front of Jac. “um, no. I’m not actually affiliated, though a friend in Phial keeps trying to get me to join…” its her turn to look away, grimacing as she waits for the next influx of questions she isn’t quite sure how to answer. “Feng-Lindon, you’re element based right? Do you specialize in one element or is it a more well rounded approach? Sorry I don’t know too much about the coven.”

"It's a pretty okay substitute for a binding agent in a pinch," she shrugs with a shy smile. "But only if you need," she adds, not wanting to interrupt the other's process. Brewed Awakening always had witches either working behind the counter or doing their own independent thing while they mainlined caffeine. "Thanks, if it's not too much trouble, do you think I could ask you to warm it up?"

She fumbles with her wallet/keys/lanyard combination when the barista introduces herself. "Huh? Oh, here's fine. And I'm Jac," she adds quickly, remembering that's the general process of how introductions work. "So you work with plants? Potions?" she asks, always curious to know about other witches' magic. "Are you part of the Circle of the Phial?" The witch looks familiar, but Jac can't tell if that's from spending too much time at the cafe or because she'd seen her around at a witch function. "I'm with the Feng-Lindons."

[sunshincwitch]

“No, thats smart though, I hadn’t thought of that. I’ve only ever really used the bark in paper form” she ruminated, chewing her lip as she began going through the motions of making a mocha. The suggestion definitely tipped Cham’s thinking towards the customer being a witch considering she gave an actual suggestion and didn’t make some pithy comment or ask what a tracking board was. She didn’t know which coven she would belong to though, her curiosity piqued she tried to go through the list of covens and witches she knew in the area and match her up. 

“You’re in luck, I have exactly one left and its got your name on it. You eating in today or taking this to go?” she asked, holding up a biodegradable to go cup and a chilled glass to illustrate her point. “I’m Chamomile, by the way, and you’re in here often you would think I would remember your name but I’m truly atrocious at that. Ask me the history, branches and uses of the acalypha genus though and I won’t miss” 

If Jac could be considered a "regular" anywhere, it might be at Brewed Awakening, but that's not saying much. It was her preferred spot to offer up a tutoring session though, feeling a little safer among peers, even if most of them didn't know or care who she was. It wasn't like a vampire was going to just walk in and take a bite out of her neck in front of everyone, no matter what her parents had made the outside world sound like.

But occasionally Jac stops by, even when she doesn't have someone to help, because she likes the drinks. And that's what normal people did. They went outside and touched grass and drank coffee (or tea). She purposely times going in between the morning and lunch rush, to avoid the crowds and have a better shot at finding one of the small tables to sit down at. Jac doesn't mind waiting for the barista to finish her work, not in any rush, but apparently not all customers would be that way, since she comes rushing over hurriedly. "Have you tried adding a pinch of dried birch bark?" she suggests, before biting down on her tongue. She didn't think she was asking for help. "Sorry, I mean, can I get um, can I get a iced mocha? With soy milk? And do you still have any cranberry muffins left?"
