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

[HI THERE CUE NOTMOM RUNNING DOWN THE STAIRS AT BREAK-NECK SPEED.]

Carrie? Carrie? What's happened?

[promfromhell]

[Oh god. Carrie turns and tries to hide the dress behind her back. Her hands already covered in blood. Dripping on her, it's on her...]

N-nothing. I didn't do it. Th-the lights broke. Nothing's wrong. They broke...

[Every single light on the Christmas tree in fact. And all the others in the room.]

[inkstardust]

[Rider just squints.]

Is that...? Did the glass shatter on you? Are you hurt?

[promfromhell]

No. No. I'm fine.

I'm not hurt. I'm fine.

[The blood drips down...down... as she stands surrounded by broken light bulbs. Does she look, sound or appear, fine? No. Not in the slightest.]

[Just like last time, Fate's passing by as Carrie is focusing on the pinecone. She stops, though, when she notices said pinecone lifting into the air.

She looks... only very mildly surprised. Not shocked, horrified, or scared. Just... surprised. Interested, as well?]

... Are you doing that, Carrie?

[promfromhell]

[It falls as Carrie looks over in shock, fear and then numbness.]

.......yes.

[She's not evil, she's not. But the nice lady saw her and now she's not going to be nice anymore. What if she was like everyone else? Freak. Freak. Creepy Carrie.]

[thunder_ace]

[On the contrary. A smile crosses her face!] Oh! I didn't know you had any sort of special abilities. [Special. Not evil. Not disgusting.] Is that all you can do?

[promfromhell]

No...I don't think so.....I'm still learning....

[What.....this is strange. Carrie is cautious, but there's a sliver of hope. Maybe...]

Phone;

[nosigntospeakof]

I know a few who can. One of them hasn't been brought to the town but his descendent is here and he has the same abilities.

[promfromhell]

......so it's normal? It's not...bad?

[nosigntospeakof]

I can't speak for humans but in our species it's not uncommon to have psychic abilities. So yes, it is normal.

Abilities in themselves aren't bad. It's how you use them that matters.

[promfromhell]

What do you mean?

[forgottenmagia]

[Whoops don't mind the nun walking by and waving slightly.]

Are you doing that, dear?

[promfromhell]

[Startled, the pine-cone falls to the ground]

......yes.

[forgottenmagia]

[Byakuren flicks her own hand, and a swirl of purple-ish magic surrounds the pine-cone, putting it back to its original position in the air.]

Are you a witch? I'd been wondering if any others were here.

[promfromhell]

....I don't know.

[Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live... Momma said, momma said...]

I can just...make things move, if I concentrate.

[frilly_filly]

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?
