Late Winter Catch-All [Open]
Who: Heather Harne (heatherbythesea) & YOU!
What: Knitted goods sale + catch-all
When: January - February
Where: Anywhere
Warning(s): None at present, will edit in if needed.
Waste Not
If it costs something to rent a spot at the Winter Market on Main Street, then Heather won't be able to have her own booth, but her knitted scarves and stocking caps can be found mixed in with other artisanal crafts for sale. (Her pieces are distinguished from the others by a paper tag cut into a scallop-shell shape. The booth owners note each time her items sell, and at the end of the day, Heather collects her portion of the profit -- a fifty-fifty split. If the sellers didn't accept her wares, she's sure that she wouldn't sell a single piece, so she doesn't mind.)
Each scarf or cap is quite soft to the touch and holds warmth easily. None of them are in solid colors, as the yarn used to knit them has subtle gradations of color and little flecks of dark in the lighter colors, or light in the dark shades. And, for those who can sense magic, these rather humble knitted items might ping that sense.
Heather has been testing out various materials for remaking her merrow cap, with no success so far. She uses her innate magic to change things with ephemeral substance into something more solid. (The sound of a cat's footfall, perhaps...) But each 'failed' material still results in a lot of yarn. And having grown up in poverty, Heather is not one to waste what can be reused. Thus, scarves and hats for others.
They're not intended to transform anyone or cause mischief (but if you say they do, why not! I'm not your boss, and if you'd have fun with it, go for it...) because she's been careful to unpick any intentional spells out of the weaving.
Other than the Winter Market, Heather has also placed a sign in the window of her house: Need Winter Accessories? Inquire Within - Free!
She doesn't want to shut out anyone who might need some assistance in keeping warm. And if you visit her at her house, you might get the opportunity to pick a unique color combination for your item...

She runs her fingers through her hair, combing out a few small tangles. And then she scoops up the tiny pearls and says, "Here, today's 'catch'."
no subject
He looks at the pearls. "They're quite striking. Do you craft with them?"

"Have you seen anyone else who was in the dream world? I'm trying to make sure everyone got out safely."
no subject
Because many of the threads are incomplete just now..."My memories of most of the dreams I was in are foggy. I think maybe I only remember you so clearly because the one we shared was the last."[[ OOC: Oh, oops! (stops leaning on the fourth wall) 😉 ]]
no subject
Sephiroth nods. "I visited quite a few people, passing from one dream to the next before arriving at yours. I don't know what happened to those people after we were separated."

He may try to stay awake as long as possible in case of that happening.
no subject
It's more involved than she'd normally be, especially for 'witch nonsense', but Heather was brought here to help... so she may as well give some help.

He's died several times and been restored to life. But then, he's a special case.

She does not speak just yet. She is always suppressing the mesmerizing quality of her voice when she speaks, and with the memory of facing the thing within Harrison brought to the forefront of her mind, Heather's control is weak. It would not be safe to speak.
She nods, and turns her face away from Sephiroth.

She doesn't know if it will work, if he'll understand her American Sign Language, but regardless, she looks back at him and signs,
|Remember that I have a dangerous voice. It takes self-control to speak safely, and emotions weaken my self-control.|
[[ OOC: In general, I believe there's a translation effect going on for people here, and it's usually played as applying to signed languages as well. But, player's choice, of course! ]]
no subject
Sephiroth does understand it regardless of whatever translation effects may be in play here.
"I understand," he says. "It must be difficult to control such a power."
He withholds a immense amount of his own powers and has never, in fact, used them to their fullest potential. When sane, he doesn't want to hurt anyone with his full strength. When insane, he tends to think he can beat others without bringing out his full strength.
no subject
Unsaid, but it ought to be clear: yes, it is difficult to control such a power, since it took years to master.
CW: Mention of child abuse
He understands that well, although he'd had the opposite problem: the main mad scientist raising him had put him through all manner of torture to try to force his powers to come out.
