if you have any preference, let me know if you want a full fantasy AU, a canonpoint before Witch left for the Universeity*, or a weird modgepodge AU where she has her bionic eye and robot crow but is still here for some reason. if you don't have a preference or you don't know what any of this shit means, don't worry about it.
*at this canonpoint, Witch is not nearly as dignified or assured, and has both her eyes but not her crow.
[There's a witch in these woods, so it's said. Hopefully you knew this on your way in; there's no other reason to want to visit this place. That, or just how did you manage to get so lost?
They speak of her in whispers, none of them kind. She's a witch, a heretic, cursed and cursing. The village blames their woes on her hexes. They say if she finds you, you'll never return home. That she keeps wanderers as her servants, glassy-eyed and bound. That she can perform miracles.
And now you've found her. She's tall, all in black with a cape and pointed hat and covered eye. She's younger than you might have expected, though, and her face is round and soft—unlike her expression as one eye squints at you from the other side of a ruined dirt path. The especially astute might notice a crow roosting nearby, high up, on your side of the woods. Hasn't it been near for a while?]
What do you want?
ii. jamjars
Witch is easy to jamjar because she's already basically jamjarred herself once so she's adaptable. give me a setting and the vague shape of a scene and i'll write a starter for you!
some specific concepts include:
- tech problems, either in a sci-fi setting or with something your character brought from home or maybe even with robots/cyborgs/folks with sci-fi prostheses—give Witch enough time and she can repair just about anything
- any kind of teamed-up exploration; Witch makes a great partner, despite being bad at socializing, thanks to her protective magic + her magic/high-tech analysis abilities
- shit i don't think i've ever played Witch doing anything with her flying broom?? y'all wanna go on a broom flight????
- dealing with her Crow familiar—folks who can talk to animals may or may not actually be able to talk to him; let's go with whatever's interesting! at a just-been-recently-jamjarred point, Witch would try to keep that Crow's a robot under wraps, but that doesn't always work; maybe if you've got a character with a sense for that kind of thing, or maybe he gets damaged?
iii. universeity
stuff set at the Universeity proper with canonmates, or anyone who wants to AU as a fellow student! give me the shape of a scene and i'll write a starter for you! concepts include:
- black catalog vs student council fights, or fights protecting sebastian and the book, and/or the aftermath thereof
- hanging out in the black catalog's basement working on Forbidden Knowledge Projects
- regular, less forbidden class projects together
- the typical Jamjar Introduction Shit just with Witch showing the new kid around

[She hums a little as she brings it up, level with her face, so she can scan it.]
Let's find out for sure...

I can imagine all kinds of side effects to eating a time crystal. Maybe I'd finish eating it before I started!

I worry sometimes that you're one temporal nudge away from getting displaced out of our reality entirely. I'm a little amazed just holding this didn't do anything to you—god, it's still going.
