[color=E800BC]“A crush? Those two? You don’t say…” [/color]Rebecca responded dryly. She didn’t necessarily go looking for gossip among the coven, but if it came up, well, it came up. [color=E800BC]“Yeah, they’re an item. In love up to their eyeballs. Not that I particularly mind. Everybody needs somebody in this world, it’s too cruel to be alone.”

“As for what the elders want from us, I suppose we’ll be gathering ritual ingredients, doing odd jobs, that sort of thing. They aren’t going to assign us anything heavy, I don’t think. There’s a reason they’re in charge, after all. If you want details about the future, go ask Calypso. She’s the seeress, not me.” [/color]She shrugged, divination was never a bit of magic she was interested in. The future held what it held, and she wasn’t about to try to mess with it.

A newcomer came over. It was a guy, and she had to admit, a cute one. Her heart didn’t skip a beat, necessarily, but he was one to keep an eye on for sure. [color=E800BC]“I’m Rebecca.” [/color]She dropped into a pitch-perfect imitation of the kid from The Sixth Sense. [color=E800BC]“I see dead people.” [/color]It was an ancient joke among mediums, but she’d be damned if it didn’t get a chuckle or two.
