Second Horror: Christmas Time Terror

[promfromhell]

[A. Action for Housemates: Carrie has slowly been getting used to Mayfield. Very slowly. The most important thing she has to cope with, Mamma isn't here. Mamma isn't here so there's no one to yell at her, make her wear horrible clothing, lock her in her closet. But people show up here, and she doesn't have her power anymore. She's defenceless again

Why, of course! It's a rather common talent where I come from.

[promfromhell]

....It is?

[frilly_filly]

Yes, it's nothing to worry about. Just a little magic. At least, that's what we call it at home. I've gathered that it has different names in different places, though.

[promfromhell]

Oh.

[A little confused.]

Did...you learn it yourself?

[frilly_filly]

No, I was born with it.

[promfromhell]

You knew how to use it...since you were born?

[frilly_filly]

Well, not right away. I did have to learn how. But that's what school was for.

[promfromhell]

Th-that's what I meant....

But there were enough...to have a school for it?

[frilly_filly]

Of course! Where else do you learn things?

[promfromhell]

....I'm learn' by myself.

Most people...can't move things like I can.

[frilly_filly]

Yes, I've gathered that sort of thing isn't as common a talent among humans. It must be difficult.

[promfromhell]

...It helped.

But I wish I'd known someone else who'd had them too.

[frilly_filly]

Well, I daresay you're in good company in Mayfield, then.

[promfromhell]

....yes.

People are....nice here.

I don't understand it.

[frilly_filly]

...They weren't nice to you at home?

[promfromhell]

No. Never.
