headologist.livejournal.comGranny opened the clinic promptly first thing in the morning. She scowled at the room. Entirely too white and shiny, it was. She hung a few bundles of herbs around the room and set a small cauldron on the main desk.
She looked at the box on the shelf with the people running around inside. Weren't proper to keep people locked up inside a box, no matter what their size. She weren't going to stand for it in her sickroom.
She lifted the box carefully off the shelf and set it down on the desk. The people inside didn't notice. They were listening to a priest rattling on about something or other. "I'LL GET YOU OUT!" Granny yelled at them, but the box was too thick for them to hear.
Her first thought was to smash the glass in the front, but she didn't want to hurt the teeny people. She searched the office and found a screwdriver in a drawer and proceeded to pry off the front portion of the box. It spat sparks at her in protest, but Granny gave the box a severe Look and the sparks stoppped. She wouldn't let a mere enchanted box get its way.
Finally, she had the front off. "All right," she began, then looked inside the box. No people were there. It was just stuffed with strange parts.
"Hurmph," she said, and stuck the front back on the box. Some kind of wizardly scrying device, then. A rather advanced one, it seemed, to have sound and be able to function with no witch or wizard focusing on it.
It was rather despicable to create a device where just anyone could spy on people. Sure, witches did it, but only for people's own good. Weren't proper to have just anyone peeking over your shoulder.
Still, it was a rather clever device. She prodded it a few times, to try and get it working again, but she seemed to have broken the spell. Pity. Would have been nice to try it out. See how it worked.
She put the box back on the shelf and lit a fire under her cauldron. She threw a few odd-smelling items into it to create a properly witchy atmosphere, then settled back in a chair to see if anyone showed up.
