[The witch has returned. The video opens on the roof of House 9, the faint glow of the city below, the heady shine of the moon above. One may recognize the silver bowl sitting on the stonework, and someone terribly clever might just know that the two roosters which have been gutted over it, one white and one saffron, have been sacrificed in Lord

[Blaine only remember half of what happened. The memories are hazy, mixed, like a weird dream. But he does remember what happened to her.]

...ey.

[solarpurpura]

[She glances up at him quietly.]

Hello, Blaine.

[While not precisely unfriendly, her manner is a bit distant.]

[outandproudboy]

[That's ok with him.]

It feels like ages since we talked. I missed you.

[solarpurpura]

[She tilts her head slightly.]

I'm sorry.

[outandproudboy]

[A small shrugs.] It's ok. I'm glad to see you again.

[solarpurpura]

I assume you are doing well, despite the recent clamor of our peers.

[outandproudboy]

I can't complain, no. All this last week feels like a weird dream.

Can I ask you something? When you say 'I was kept from my duties... to all of you', you meant eh gods of this place?

[solarpurpura]

I see... [She wonders how much the others remember, knows there are some she cannot ask and that vexes her.]

And, yes, I have made promises to some, and worship others implicitly. I do not like to have my promises broken.

[When she made pacts, she intended to keep them. Such things were not given lightly.]

[outandproudboy]

[Not much, depends on the person.] I still remember some important thing. Do you?

It's improtant to keep promises, I agree.

[solarpurpura]

[She purses her lips faintly,]

I remember enough.

[outandproudboy]

Things can be different now that we know what to do and what not.

[solarpurpura]

The future is never fixed.

[outandproudboy]

Nor is written in stone.

[solarpurpura]

Blood, perhaps, if not stone.

[...that's not ominous at all.]

[outandproudboy]

You think you are doomed to repeat your mistakes because of that? [Just a sincere question.]

[Not at all.]

[solarpurpura]

I know what I am doomed for, Promenade has never been able to change that.
