Hedgewitches traditionally are about as harmless as a 'witch' can get, they're usually herbalists, wise women, midwives. Inquisitioners burn them like they burn other innocents. At some point in the future there will be university-educated surgeons, pharmacists, and movies about high tech 'Ghostbusters'...
In this day and age, when there's an emergency there's not many people to call on who could be hoped to be able and willing to help. You can turn to the Powers That Be, be that the Lords of the Lands or the Church, but for small common problems such grand powers offer little to the common person in need, because there are too many common people in need and way to much help needed.
When the baby won't come, when the cough won't stop, when the cows go dry, the runaway pig cannot be found, or your bad tooth is agony so much you cannot even scream - to a hedgewitch you turn. For a few eggs, a strech of cloth, a penny or two if you actually have coin to pay, the hedgewitch will do her best. Often, all too often, those in need die anyway, but if they can be saved the hedgewitch will save the life, locate what is lost, ease the pain.
Some few, very few of these people are said to have power; a second sight, an angel that watches over them, a hand that dowsing rods turn under when something sought is pointed towards, a something of some sort.
I'm far more concerned by other things Cat has said, than the role Cat claims.
Cat, when you posted this answer:
Superblackcat: What is your gift?
My, whatatata?
You guys should be able to guess which one is me... the herald makes it quite obvious.
You asked for a gift. You got one. What did you think when I asked you, "What is your gift?" I see your reaction that you posted. I'm asking you what you thought.
Caz, the sharp division between your IC and OOC 'stances' concerns me too. I've asked you more than one question that you've flat out ignored. Your IC and OOC attitudes and stances, to me they are all part of a whole and that whole is you and what I'm evaluating. You don't get 'out' of a situation by simply stepping out of the RP. Sure, you can respond to questions any way you please, but your response remains whatever it is. And you're ignoring my questions so far.
Your attitude this game reminds me greatly of how you treated me D1 of Supernatural 6. Granted, -this- game you're the one going out on limbs and making up stuff that sounds ridiculous to at least one other player - but I had an evidence trail when I did so that I believed clearly pointed at the vote I made. You're actually appearing to contradict yourself and baselessly be jumping at anything, everything, and nothing in a fairly random fashion, very possibly making up most or all of what you are throwing attention at, and while being just as hostile towards me as you were in S6. You were Scum that game, and the way it feels interacting with you now, especially your 'in character' stance, feels hostile, avoidant, and distractive. Why are you acting so Scummy?
zombie urist:
I can't spot your answer to this question from Tiruin, or any follow up from her asking more about it. Oversight? Answer forthcoming?
Also question, ZU: if you see someone scummy, how will you out them for the King-if said King was seen as inattentive to your words beforehand?
How does that help you find scum? We got roles from hearlds, not the other way around. (Though that would be kinda fun)
FoS is the same as every other game. Shows suspicion.
You focused the most on flavor.
The same way talking and interaction across a range of topics related to the game and gameplay ever finds Scum.
Do you believe that:
1) the person focusing most on flavor is Scum
2) that I as Scum focus greatly on flavor/I as Town do not
3) that you can't think of anything else suspicious about anyone and feel the need to appear suspicious of someone at this time
4) why else are you acting as you about this?
King Cheeetar:
Cille/Imp- How do you believe a person whom the Queen trusted enough to place on her council would be motivated to betray her in such a grievous fashion- did the Queen misjudge those she selected to mange her realm after her death somehow?
*Cille bows her head for a long moment before raising her face and answering*
You ask a difficult question, Lord. I do not know the answer. It is painful to accept that she has been betrayed and I cannot envision a motivation sufficient for one she took into her personal service to betray her trust and the purpose that Service to her gave. I do not know if the Queen misjudged, or if people who had once been worthy changed after their service began and somehow hid their nefarious intent. I do believe that our job will not be complete if we
only find her assassin(s) though. Should she have any other enemies among us who had not yet struck, our task cannot be complete until they have been found and stopped as well.
