melliwyk lived in her house for over a decade, and it was The Haunted House before she moved in and lived there as a largely reclusive wizard, making it The Haunted House (they say a witch lives there!), and one of the most fun routine-breakers in her life was when kids and teens would brave the trek through the woods to dare each other to knock on her door, which she always rewarded with Haunted House theatrics

#usually baxter likes to hang out outside when she doesn't need him so he often sees kids coming well in advance and can let her know #soul's rest is a tiny little rural village outside the central dominance of the vault #so it does not take very much magic At All to give nosey locals a satisfying spook #probably she also has some kind of rube goldberg scooby-doo ass Contraptions set up in case anyone comes by when she's asleep or out #this came up in canon when we went back to her house in the campaign #some kids showed up in the night when I think zhartook? was taking a watch? and he woke mel up and she was like OH MY GOD YES WATCH--#just a lil spookin. some prestidigitation eerie noises and chill breezes #and then boggle wandered into view of the window and scared the bejeezus out of them before mel could ramp it up herself #DELIGHTFUL #in general if she was in a good mood she'd stop what she was doing and have fun prankin #if she was in a bad mood she'd do something more decisively repellant like fog cloud or Cause Fear #but always harmless-- and never breaking kayfabe if it could be helped. good bit of fun for everyone involved! you'd hate to spoil that #obviously there are plenty of people who knew who she was and that she lived there because like... she did buy groceries etc #but most kids didn't know and would never connect the occasionally brusque but geberally friendly gnome they saw sometimes with The Witch #my OCs #melliwyk
