Here... yes. Elsewhere, there are many wells, many worlds, many mouths! They cannot all dry to...
( But she is briefly too awestruck to continue, mouth a tired, pinched moue of affected dissatisfaction that Vannozza Spina strugles to produce. )
...a hand. A few bites of the face. That is it, sister? That is it? These lice think I am troubled by so little? I am a child? A fussy bride?
( Laughter compels her. It is too strong a thing. )
I am not! I am not. Shall I show you? Shall I show all of you? Of course, little siblings, of course. You want your 'beacon' open, don't you? And you like me, no? Better than you do my sisters. What have they done for you? Nothing. And what can I do for you? Everything.
( Enough, at least, to pacify her. ) Bring me my body. Bring me any body, leave me even this rag. I shall open your pretty beacon for you. I can. I can do many things. And don't you like a trade? Before the next swelling of mother moon. Gift me a body, and I shall gift you perfect obedience. Think, little siblings, think.
( An amused, volatile Hatisse, at least, seems to have exhausted the resources of Vannozza's flesh. She faints, by the fire: in perfect health, but depleted of energy, as mistress Spina recovers her health. )
( ooc: 'congratulations' on this new opportunity to gain a party member. You have until the next full moon, before 30 Nov, to talk among yourselves - and perhaps the group? - and decide if it is worthwhile to give Hatisse a body. If your verdict is to do so, you may steal her original one from the mausoleum and bring it to her, or find her a recently dead one. The necromancers of the district may advise.
The body purchase can be backtagged or handwaved. The decision is important to have by the end of the month, however.
Hatisse is a powerful witch who can open the local beacon, but she is coy and not always sweet, prone to her own designs. She will travel with the party, if she is revived. )
