[Tiffany appears on the plane, her eyes shut tightly. Her entire body is shaking and she can't walk straight. She happens to open her eyes while looking down and lets out a shriek, stumbling backwards and falling onto her back. She groans, more in annoyance than anything else, and tentatively opens her eyes to stare at the swirling stars and galaxies above her.]

Oh! I see. Is it a nice place to live?

It's great! There's the sheep and the smell of turpentine. Sometimes people kick up rocks with little fossils in them, and you can always find an arrow head. There's no noisy vertical water. And no matter how long she's been dead, Granny Aching is always there. The land was in her bones... [Yeah, she might be a little homesick.]

Wow...that really does sound pretty amazing.

I'm going to be a witch!

Oh, uh. Henrietta said it's a lot like her "Christmas" thing.

A witch! Wow! There are real witches in your world?

Ah, I see!

[livingchalk.livejournal.com]

Yes. You don't have witches, then?... Were they all thrown into a pond?

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

Into a...oh. Well, I heard that they did that in Europe and such, but we don't really learn to much about that. And you hear about people who do unusual things every once in awhile. But I never really thought witches were real.
