Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 3:03 amAfter a moment, the door opens and Wanda blinks when she sees Sam. "Sam, this is a surprise. To what do I owe the pleasure?" It's polite enough, but there's some uncertain undercurrents to Wanda's thoughts.

"And I was voted least likely to get mauled by a werewolf."
"Or most likely to enjoy it, one of those."

Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 3:14 am"Surprised she accepted that, but I'll take it."
She pulls out a vial of liquid.
"Yours was one of the easier ones to spot."

Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 3:24 am"Oh?" She eyes the bottle before holding her hand out for it. "May I?"
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 3:39 am"Of course," she says, passing the vial to Wanda.
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 3:45 amShe takes it and holds it up to the light, stepping out the way so Sam can enter, "So what makes this so noticeable?"
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 3:49 am"Everyone's is a little different, but yours feels... deep, somehow?"
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 3:54 am"There is a lot to it," she says with a nod, closing the door behind Sam. "I'd wager someone with a... mystical bent would likely have a wonderful time with this. And I know at least one individual who would give away a mountain of favors for the connections this could provide."
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 3:59 am"I think we both know the same person."
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 4:07 amShe looks at Sam and something turns over in her head, "Yes, I suspect we do. The thing with the vampires. My memory's still occasionally fuzzy about that." She purses her lips, "She has her uses, so long as you know what you're getting into. Much as I understand the fey to be."

Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 4:26 am"About the one good thing that's happened is the balance of power between her and me has shifted a bit."
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 4:33 am"I wouldn't have imagined her to lose her mildly rigged game. How ever did you manage that?" As she talks, Wanda slowly rotates the vial in her hands, the liquid spinning slowly inside.
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 4:37 am"Simply put? I suppose I reminded her of why she joined the game in the first place."
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 3:14 pm"I suppose it is the Morrigan's way to put people in their place," she smirks.
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 5:33 pm"I didn't threaten her," she chuckles.
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 5:49 pm"So the kind word and the two-by-four then?" Wanda chuckles in return, wrapping her fingers around the vial and idly running her thumb around the top.

Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 6:01 pm"Truth told I wasn't thinking about her much at the time, but apparently it... left an impression."
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 6:26 pm"Oh, was it that thing as the club? Isolde said something about that."
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 6:31 pm"Aye. There was... some fallout from that, but not from her."
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 6:47 pm"I heard. Well, not the specifics, but that there was some... difficulties. There are a lot of difficulties inherent to being deeply connected to werewolves."
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 6:54 pm"I suppose you'd know, wouldn't you?"
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 7:17 pm"I know a thing or two about it. It's a big responsibility holding that 'leash'." She seems to decide something and pulls a small plastic bin out from under her bed and begins rummaging through it, pulling out a small bowl and some other small packages.

"Then again, I share my bed with two of them."

Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 7:22 pm"Are you *as* connected to both of them?"
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 7:29 pm"When they're both present, most definitely. There's... still a ghost of things from Viv, even though she's been away."
"Tereza's a bit more immediate."

Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 7:40 pm"I imagine that upsets the balance of things," she says, grabbing a lighter and a marker and pocketing both.
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 7:45 pm"Perhaps, but it's a temporary situation."
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 7:52 pm"Not all imbalances tip back to even," she cautions, closing the bin and shoving it back under her bed.
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 7:59 pm"We both miss her. We're making a road trip of it this summer."
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 8:05 pm"I'm not saying you don't miss her. I'm saying that there's been an imbalance created and the pulls on the leashes could be harder than you expect," she pulls a messenger bag off the side of her desk and stuffs her gathered things into it.
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 8:09 pm"Did I catch you at a bad time?" She quirks a brow.
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 8:11 pm"No," she says, wiggling the vial that she hasn't let go of, "But, if I'm going to get this back, I thought it best to do it properly."
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 8:15 pm"And what's 'properly' in this case?"
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 8:18 pm"Outside, with a little bit of practice," she says, "I wouldn't say no to having the Morrigan there."
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 8:21 pm"I've guided a few of these. It's... interesting to watch it take hold."
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 8:23 pm"I'm going to guess it goes sort of like an anointing?"
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 8:30 pm"Some of them have. It doesn't have to be all that formal. It rather wants to go back where it belongs."
Re: Said the raven to the storm...
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 9:58 pm"Things occasionally like to be in their places, but for me, I think it needs a little something," she says, resting her hand on the door, "So you want to come with?"
