Word Two: The shape of heat on a road, the shape of the smell of apples

[witchofthechalk]

[The Summer Lady wakes up. Which was at first strange because the last thing she remembered was walking through a forest on the Disc. Her season was starting, she had things to do.

But now.....She's back to her old body. Though her mind still feels the same. She can feel the rush of the heat and her memories of the town come back. Oh....yes. They'd taken away her memories, made her think she hadn't been stuck. How like them. But now she remembered the truth. And slowly getting up, she starts to plan her day. Tiffany Aching goes back to sleep and the Summer Lady continued on her way.

[Housemates: Tiffany Aching, no the Summer Lady is walking through the house. She's wearing yellow and orange and most tellingly. Not her witches hat. She pauses too look at a few of the "tech" things in the house and smirk. Humans.]

[Park: There is a teenage girl examining the plant life in the park. Checking on things in a methodical fashion as though she's been sent to inspect them. If you know her, she's dressed differently as explained above, and she even seems to be holding herself differently. There is something odd about this teenage girl.]

[Around Town: If you're walking by said Teenage girl you might notice that the air around you is suddenly a great deal warmer. Not Spring heat...more like.....well Summer.]

[Phone: The Summer Lady picks up the phone. Her voice is Tiffany's, but with a hiss behind it and less....humanness.]

Summer is coming. Even this ...place can not change that.

It's.... unnatural without the dance but I'll make do.


[OOC: Tiffany is from an AU where after the events of Wintersmith she was forced to permanently become the Summer Lady who is the personification of Summer. She's been doing this for three years now. The old Summer Lady vanished, the Feegles are still searching for her.]

[Why is Tiffany wearing yellow? It looks... well not bad, but it's weird that she's wearing yellow.]

Uh... Hi Tiffany. Nice outfit.

[witchofthechalk]

[She glances over and she seems to be looking past or through him for a moment before she realizes that yes, he's talking to her, and he's standing right there.

Right, she knew him back when she was....a witch. she wishes she could be a witch again.]

It will have to do for now.

[And there is a slight hiss to her voice. Not a nasty hiss, just a ...hiss. Like a snake.]

[worstvikingever]

[Uh. Oh wow. Okay. This is. This is weird.]

Are you... are you feeling okay?

[witchofthechalk]

Just....remembering a few things now.

[Nope. Her head hurts. She rubs it absently.]

And summer is coming....I should be ...working.

[worstvikingever]

...on what?

[YOU ARE NOT REASSURING HIM.]

Around Town

[atent_dead]

[Granny is actually wearing Mayfield approved colours and is decidedly less... scowly than usual. She smiles at the warmth.]

Seems summer comes earlier and earlier every year.

[witchofthechalk]

I arrive when it's time.

[She's not early. Slight hiss to the voice. Former witch looks over...oh Weatherwax.]

[atent_dead]

You? Whatever do you mean, Tiffany?

[witchofthechalk]

I'm still the Summer Lady.

[atent_dead]

You sound a bit dazed. You aren't running a fever, are you?

[Housemates]

[destroytheblueone]

Hmph. Finally got rid of that ridiculous hat, eh? Good - we can start on other things now...!

[Housemates]

[witchofthechalk]

It was a witches hat.

[Looking over at him. Pay no attention to the hissing tone her voice has taken on today.]

And it's Summer soon. I am busy.

[Housemates]

[destroytheblueone]

Not too busy! Come, we must finally get around to conquering this pathetic city!

[witchofthechalk]

I have no interest in conquering.

[Well that's true at least, even before.]

It is something people do, not me.

[destroytheblueone]

You dare question my orders? I don't care what you or this stupid city says - you're working for me. Just be glad this city hasn't been kind enough to give me the tools to initiate Legionization or I'd gladly put you in your place!

[And as Eggman's going off, the Egg Pawns behind him just look at each other confused - what are they both talking about?!]

<[ Peeta takes a jog in the Park often. He's enjoying his freedom and his ability to have time around without anyone. He has full use of his leg, and he knew he should take advantage of it while he could. Never know when things could change.

He sees a girl examining plant life. ]

I hear the longer you stare at plants, the faster they grow.

[witchofthechalk]

Normally when I do it, they do.

[Said with a straight face.]

[succorer]

I don't see anything happening. [ Straight face to match yours. ] I'm guessing it only works if no one is watching.

[witchofthechalk]

Or if I'm not stripped of my powers.

[succorer]

Powers? [ Curious brow. ]

[Park]

[rebelcommunion]

[There is a curious voice coming from up one of the trees. It honestly sounds like an adult trying to sound younger than he is.]

Hey, hey! What are you doing?

[Then he flips down, hanging upside down. He's dressed like Peter Pan in more leaves and flowers than clothing and has painted bright and colorful designs all over him. Yup. At least he's still in a human body?]

[witchofthechalk]

Looking at the plants. Making sure things are coming along as they should be.

[rebelcommunion]

[He's pretty athletic, and flips himself down to the ground.]

You take care of plants? Great! You should come have fun with us!

[He's bouncing on the balls of his feet in a way that should be embarrassing, but he really does think of himself as a kid.]

[witchofthechalk]

Us?

[rebelcommunion]

Us! All the kids! We're gonna get all together and have fun. Oh, and show those adults too.
