((No rules, no masters, just don't be a pp head.
Plot and setting can be established later. I just want a no-strings-attached rp for once where everyone can do and be whatever they feel like and none of us have to think to hard about what's allowed or what makes sense or how long a post needs to be.
Better for muse that way.))
A small black cat sat gracefully on top of a fence. Her three bright eyes wide and watchful for what may lay in the dark. Though a cat as just one of several of her witches forms it was her favorite as it allowed for the most mischief. The moon flickered in and out of sight as clouds rolled by hurriedly. Though the smell of rain wasn't on the air quite yet, it might be soon. In which case she'd have to scurry as fast as her four legs could carry her back to the safety of the library, for a witch could not be caught in the rain. It wasn't a problem just yet anyway, so she continued her vigil.
Liliana - Female - Bi
A young witch of much power. She is dominating and mysterious, though not always heartless. Her motives seem to be only what will benefit her, she doesn't particularly look at long term consequences and prefers short-term pleasures and rewards. She has made many deals with many devils and her former self has been lost, even to herself. In her human form, she appears to be a woman no more than 25, with fair skin and dark brown hair and her three golden eyes being the only constant, though the third typically covered by bangs or a wide-brimmed hat. Even her human form may shift to manipulate others to get what she wants. Taller, shorter, skinnier, bustier. Her cat form is solid black, with the same golden eyes, though not as easily hidden. She has also been known to take the form of a bat, a deer, and a bear on rare occasions.
The powers she dealt for have drawbacks, She can't be in direct sunlight, walk across holy or consecrated grounds, such as graveyards and churches, and can't come into contact with running water without being severely burnt. Complete submersion in water or light would be lethal. Some have mistakenly assumed she was a vampire because of this and tried staking her, usually to their own demises.
She lives alone in an unassuming hut on top of an expansive underground library. Some of the library has fallen into disrepair from lack of use.

The opossum scuttled along in the same area as the black cat. It scavenged for savory scraps to eat. He could smell that smelly smell. It was fruit! What a sweet treat fruit was. He halted to a stop when he saw the cat, though, and he dropped dead. He hoped the cat wouldn't notice him, so he stayed where he was. (what if the witch turned the possum into a human?)

The cat's third glittering eye stared down at the opossum, while the other two stayed forward. She slowly lowered the rest of her eyes and head to the creature to examine it. She knew their games, but didn't plan on becoming a threat. Instead deciding to have a little fun. She hopped down and gave it a nibble on it's tail, hoping to frighten it into being upright again.
(I think I can come up for a reason for why she would.)

(Sure! That would be neat.)
The opossum barely moved and continued to play dead. However, it got the point where it was too much and he got up and hissed. He showed off his tiny, razor sharp teeth and hoped to scare the cat away. However, he would only bite if it was absolutely necessary. He was a rather docile creature, but that was because it was in his nature or instincts as some would call it. He may look and act aggressive, but the truth of the matter was he was an easy target.

An unsettlingly human laugh uttered from the cat's throat. She stared it down thoughtfully for a moment then twirled around with a wave of her tail and leapt away. Though the wave was clearly not just cat body language. She pointed it again directly at him. "You. On two legs, no longer four. Stand up straight forevermore." she commanded, "And then, follow me." She disappeared on the opposite side of the fence this time. The clouds had started rolling in faster now. Though now she could have more entertainment in her house besides just books while the storm came.
(I'll update the first post with it then.)

All of the sudden the opossum felt his body shifting. He couldn’t play dead to avoid this—the transformation. His teeth were no longer tiny, sharpened knives, but instead they were dull and square. He licked them. He was confused and looked around in panic. Why was he so cold? He didn’t understand a thing.

A now-woman stood in front of an open doorframe. "I said follow! Unless you want to sit out there naked and fend for yourself." She crossed her arms and tapped her foot impatiently. (ok done, sorry. There was a lot in her bio, and that's actually the short and clean version of it.)

The opossum, now, human cocked his head at her before scrabbling you his feet. He felt loopy and as though he was about to fall. What was he? He had no idea. He hesitantly followed her, but kept an eye out in case she did something crazy again.

Perched on top of a tree, an owl watched the proceedings, the once-opossum-now human vanishing inside the building. Hooting loudly, the owl lifted up and swooped away, soon landing beside a shadowy figure and disgorging a pellet, permeated with the memories of what the owl had seen. The shadows shifted and the pod was slowly pulled away, to be scanned and studied.

As he came in the door she thrust a robe into his gangling arms. "Here, put this on, you're indecent. Oh right I forgot." She snapped her fingers twice, "There, you know how to speak now, Possum." she gave him another glance up and down "You're my apprentice now, we start tomorrow." She spun around to sit in a large cushioned chair by her burning hearth. There was another chair opposite her that was clearly it's match, though in much better condition than the one she sat in. One might conclude that she preferred the comfort of her favorite chair, rather than the untouched elegance of the new one. One might also conclude, she did not have company often... or for very long.

The owl circled around the house, flapping down to land on a fence post outside. From its position, it could look right into the house unnoticed, and keep watch on what was happening.

“What happened? How did I turn into this?” The opossum asked. He felt bare and cold. It was not the greatest of feelings. Who was this woman just exactly?

"Magic. If you survive long enough to learn, you will be able to turn yourself back if you want." she said dismissively. "Though... Opossums only live for 2-3 years, right? I can't say for sure what would happen if you did, maybe youd be the same age you were, maybe your new human years age would just make you dead. I don't really know. Maybe you'll find the secret to immortality and it wont matter. All your choice from here."

"Permuting pests into pupils again, are we, Lil?" A high, cheerful voice came from the door, and Mair entered the building as if he actually belonged here. He didn't, by the way. That was just the way of the strange warlock. A pair of bright, slitted amber eyes watched the witch, and a thin, pointed tail waved merrily behind him. Speaking of pests, really. Geezer. [Hey, Leapkit ! You can decide on the actual relationship between Mair and Lil, like if they're friends or if she's about to beat him out of the house with a vroom. He's just a nosy warlock boy.] |

(Ooh! I'll have to know a bit more before I decide but I feel like things just got interesting. 👀 Maybe she could have trained him in the past?)
She waved her hand dismissively and slammed the door behind him. "Opossums aren't pests, they're a marsupial and quite useful. Which is more than can be said for you. What on earth do you need? Can't you ever learn to knock?" she hissed, rising up from her chair to face the warlock with a sharp gaze. She was clearly irritated, but maintained a calm expression.

"Oh, my heart! I'm wounded! Help me!" Putting a hand to his chest, the warlock staggered backward, his eyes wide with mock hurt. When his theatrics were over, he straightened up, the amused glitter not leaving his eyes. "Can't a poor man stop by and catch up with an old friend while he's in the neighborhood?" How he got into the building was irrelevant, because Lil would know that the slightly demonic looking man had a...nasty penchant for lock picking.
Eh, a childhood on the streets did that to you.
Shrugging off all relevant questions about his methods and motives, Mair continued, as if Lil was happy to see him, and hadn't just likened him to a pest. "You do know how I'm fond of marsupial mutations. I saw you fooling around and had to check in on your new friend."
Lest she forget about the catastrophe that one time with the kangaroos at the zoo.
[Alright! Let's see what we can shape out with their past! I know Mair is?? Fairly old. So depending on how old Lil is, she could have taught him, or they're just old rivals.] |

She shook her head, trying her best to stifle a chuckle at his antics. "Bold of you to assume we're friends. Look, we just got here and you're probably friegtening the poor dear and he hasn't even put the clothes on. Have some decency."
(Oof. Low response cause I want to wait for Pixie. Lilliana is also fairly old. I don't exactly know what time period this would be set in? I haven't given it much thought, but the library under her house is from the middle ages at least. She inherited it from an archangel along with her third eye, which is a long story.)

Why were there so many people? “Do I have a name?” he asked the witch. He ignored the fact that she said he may die if he turned back into his original form. It was a scary thought. He almost winced at his own smell. He still smelled like an opossum even though he was clean having been a hygienic creature. He shuffled awkwardly as he looked along the room. He was worried about what was to happen. He could glare and growl at the witch and hope to scare her off, but now having complex thoughts and emotions, he wondered if there was any point.

( lizard Oh yeah that could totally work Lil is definitely the sort of person to make a deal with a creature and then forget about it lol. Are they like an earth elemental/fae?) (Edit: a pre-paragraph for Pixie) "A name. Hmm. You can look through my library and find one you like later. Or I can give you one, a name is an important thing." She was interrupted by a knock at the door. Lilliana threw her arms up and rolled her eyes, "Now who is it!?" She flung the door open with aggression to stare down at the being who stood before her now. She hated that her house was turning into a popular hangout for magical creatures, but at least this one had the decency to knock. Her expression went from rage to confusion. "Do I know you from somewhere? Wait ddon't tell me, I know. Were you who I summoned here earlier? How long ago was that? No, that was Mamnophet of the 5th circle. Um." she left the door open and wandered around the corner into the kitchen to flip through her claendar. In there, jars and bowls full of liquids and solids scattered every surface imaginable. Some of them even food. Her spindly fingers followed the calendar pages scrawled with writing incomprehensible to beings other than her, names and dates, moon and planetary phases. "Aha! I have it! Right here! You're! You're-- Oh..." she trailed off. |

The owl, or rather the controlling intelligence within, wondered what was happening. It was time to investigate. A shadow leaped over the fence and smashed straight through the window, severing the connection to the owl, which flapped away into the night.

(( Hello everyone,, I hope you don't mind if I jump in! ))
Two wide eyes reflected the light of the moon. In the forest, Paws shivered, but not from the cold. She watched the moon, unblinking. Her hands rubbed against her arms. Silently, she stepped towards the building. Her pale eyes glittered. Paws tensed as an owl hooted in the night sky.
She decided it was worth investigating the strange people inside the building, though her hair was unkempt and filled with twigs and her clothes had several little rips. She kept her distance. But curiosity got the better of her as she slowly inched towards it, behind the door. Suddenly someone came up and knocked at the door. Paws crouched to the ground.
