The last thing Eliza wanted was to get spotted so soon. Then again, hard to be descreet when you're dressed as a christmas tree. [color=gold]"Oh! Um,"[/color] she quickly looked between the two (There was two new guests? Huh.), they seemed nice enough. Or was normal the better term? Eliza knew better than to go off of first glances, but unless someone found a loophole, they cant really do harm here can they? Atleast not in a violent sense. Either way, might as well introduce herself. She bowed slightly. [color=gold]"Forgive my intruding. I noticed some newcomers and wanted to see if everything was alright over here."[/color] She'd explain. It wasn't exactly a lie, if they had a way to tell. But she had to make sure they won't try anything. Eliza then held her hand out for them to shake. [color=gold]"I'm Eliza!"[/color][hr] [s]Okay now let's move to the important part.[/s] Among the crowd that had watch Maura's performance was the small witch group, and unfortunately Amanda. Amanda tried to disway them from watching, for her patron's sake, but it didn't work in the slightest. They almost seemed...in awe, as they watched the estranged witch's magic at work. The magician couldn't tell if they recognized her or not. She did see them whispering to each other, so it still made her nervous. Soon as it ended, Amanda was going to follow the group to make some snowmen and whatnot. Until they all noticed Maura approaching them. Was she really going to confront her sisters? The Cradle Mother didn't know what to say or do exactly once she walked over to them. Surprisingly, neither did any of them. Maribel, Lauren, and Carmen looked at her with widened eyes. While Rowena and Amanda appeared worried for Maura. [color=crimson]"......Uh, it's been a while, hasn't it?"[/color] Maura tried to break the ice first. Lauren looked to the rest of her group, then back to Maura. An annoyed glare replaced her shock. [color=Mediumseagreen]"Are you kidding me right now?! Years of hide-and-seek to figure out what the hell we'd say or do once we find each other, and no one's got [i]anything?![/i]"[/color] She scolded the other witches. [color=royalblue]"You don't have any ideas either, do you?"[/color] The witch of order would give Carmen an unamused look. [color=mediumseagreen]"W-Well no, but atleast I can tell how bullshit this is! And YOU!"[/color] Her glare would return as she pointed to Maura. [color=violet]"Please calm down and let her explain-"[/color] Amanda tried to intervene, but it seemed fruitless for someone as stubborn as Lauren Corvus. The witch of order would hold her lion plush high above her head... ...and proceed to bonk Maura's head with it. Repeatedly. [color=mediumseagreen]"NEVERDOAGODDAMNSTUNTLIKETHATAGAIN, YOUHEARME?! SOMEOFUSNEARLYHADAHEARTATTACKCAUSEOFTHATBULLSHIT!!"[/color] Lauren screeched mid bonking, Maura only able to utter an oddly calm [color=crimson]"Ow."[/color] during the ranting with each hit. Once Rowena dragged Lauren away, she rubbed her head. [color=crimson]"Okay, I probably needed that too."[/color] She slightly frowned, and looked back to her sisters. [color=crimson]"So you're...not mad about what happened?"[/color] Carmen crossed her arms, leaning against the wall. [color=royalblue]"I'll be frank, you had me worried. But I had other things to worry about than that incident."[/color] Lauren huffed, being picked up by the taller witch of life. [color=mediumseagreen]"For some reason this place doesn't let us hurt each other, so I can't exactly chop your head off right now- [i]Ow![/i]"[/color] Her grumblings would be intterupted by Rowena flicking her on the head. She crossed her arms. [color=mediumseagreen]"You better have some good explaning to do, lady!"[/color] Then there was Maribel, who was calmly watching the exchange. She hummed in thought, glancing between Rowena, Amanda, and Maura. Did the former already talk with the latter? Did Amanda and Maura know each other? Curious as she was, there was no point in dawdling. [color=9966CC]"Now, now girls. I know this is weird, but let's not lag behind everyone else~ We can talk during the activities!"[/color] She'd smile, walking to one of the portals; Ice sculpting in particular. [color=9966CC]"Not sure if those like us can participate, but it'll be fun, right~?"[/color] With a non-verbal truce, the Walpurgis Night group followed Maribel outside. Each of them begining to carve out statues pertaining to their roles. And because Majora didn't want to stall in posting any further, we can leave it at that. Bother them if you want.
