...
[The sobbing, shaking, and crying eventually subsided, replaced by emotional exhaustion.]
What do you want...?
no subject
[ Her voice is light, playful, but there's a cold edge to it. ]
You must be happy now! You're far, far away from your greatest burden. Uu, uu.
no subject
[Her brain felt like it had been thrown in a pot full of hot water and then left to boil over on the stove. What nonsense was this...?]
I don't understand. I don't understand you're saying.
[There'd be a fierce shuddering and then the sound of tears and other fluid being wiped away.]
Don't you want revenge? For... killing you.
no subject
[ Her voice continues to maintain a calm, even tone. She'll allow Rosa her freedom, but she doesn't get to ignore her sins. ]
But you know, Maria is a real witch. And she's my dear friend. I'm very loyal to my friends, Rosa.
no subject
[Her tone was still rather subdued.]
Maria had nothing to do with it... don't... don't involve her.
no subject
[ She laughs, but it's no wild cackle this time. ]
With my magic, I was able to see all sorts of things. You run a company called Anti-Rosa, and your balance sheet is well into the red. You lament the loss of your youth and a chance to find love. And your daughter... She developed differently from other children. She's bullied, and she has no friends and her grades are terrible and she has strange interests like the occult. You're ashamed of her. So aren't you happy to be rid of your burden, Rosa?
no subject
[She felt the irritation coming back as she tried to speak over Beatrice, but her heart's not in it. It was in the red, but even if it was making a profit, all of it would go toward her accumulated debt without being able to reinvest. And if lightning struck and its popularity really took off, she didn't have nearly the amount of infrastructure necessary to take advantage of the success and fulfill any sudden demand.
Completely different.]
You...!
[Then she's smacked in the face with her personal problems and Maria's issues and she physically recoils.]
Y-You be quiet! She's a completely normal little girl! My angel!! I won't have you saying anything else! What you're saying is just ridiculous from beginning to end! Ridiculous! With a capital letter 'r'! Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous!!
[There's an irritated sound from her throat as she went on, without even stopping to breathe.]
I called to apologize! Are you serious about forgiving me or not??
[That's when the breathing started as she'd emptied her lungs.]
no subject
She has to swallow down the acidic bile that rises to her throat when that woman talks about her daughter. Insisting that she's normal, because a child that was a "freak" was too shameful for others to see. ]
Let me come to the point. I know that you abuse and neglect Maria, and I know that you have been investigated by Child Services for it. As I have regained my physical form, I forgive your childhood transgression, but not the harm done to a fellow witch. So we're going to have a little deal.
[ It was chancy to do this at all. Rosa was volatile, not easily reasoned with without appeals to greed or vanity. But she couldn't just sit back and allow the possibility of Rosa doing more damage to somebody else. ]
With my magic, I can learn things entirely out of reach for humans. You need not fear. I shall not pry into your private affairs. But if you harm another child, I will have ways of finding that out. And if that happens, then I'll release all kinds of information onto the network about what a wonderful and responsible mother you are. There's so many wonderful stories I can share. I wonder what the people here would think of that?
no subject
[This was... a lot. She felt cold rage burning down upon her. Cold, cold rage.]
I see.
[She gave a little scoffing laugh.] Whoever knew the witch of the forest would be so involved with my personal affairs! I've got news for you, Beatrice... I'll admit it. The government was involved. Maria got locked out of the house and the police needed to help her because I was working late. So what? We had a brief interview and they told me they simply had to check out of a formality. It was obvious, so very obvious, that I love my daughter and am doing the best to provide for her as a single mother. --Got it??
[Rosa could weave her own witchcraft.]
I don't abuse her, neglect her, or anything else. Maria loves me. I'd take a bullet for her. I'd die for her! And you talk to me like... what? I'm some sort of ogre who kicks children to see them cry?? Is that a fucking joke?? I've never hurt anyone except for you, and if your revenge is trying to craft this fantasy of me as a thug, then fuck you!
[Any attempt at cutting her off would just get Rosa to lash out again:]
No, you listen to me!! You can post whatever you want on that fucking network. I'll just explain you have a personal grudge against me enough to spread disgusting lies about my own daughter, and that's that! You'll look bad, not me!
no subject
Rosa, I am I not certain that you understand. There is a device here, called a Memirror. It can directly visualize the memories of the user. Everything I've seen could become public information.
But very well. Do as you will, Rosa. And I shall do as I will. I suggest you visit the island of Marilla, incidently. They have wonderful crab.
