The soft click clack of heels heralds her arrival. Pushing her sunglasses onto the top of her head she looks around slowly and winces at the state of the place.
She stamps her foot calls out in a strange language, and gives a long high pitched whistle. Two small humanoid creatures with bark skin, sap brown eyes and ivy strands for hair seem to rise from the floor and hover before her.

She points around the room and makes a series of orders in a strange language. In seconds the strange creatures are racing around the room, gathering up rubbish and putting it into neat piles.

Striding through the activity like this is perfectly normal she walks behind the bar and checks everything is as it should be.
Fortunately Curvy had been looking after BB and the boiler didn't take long to get running again.

The thick pungent sludge was removed from the boiler and put to one side for the real caffeine addicts. A bag of Italian roasted beans is opened and poured into the huge hopper ready to make fresh coffee.

Making a complicated gesture in the air and chanting in a low melodic ritual , a small rain cloud forms above the boiler and starts to rain heavily into it. Tiny lightning bolts flash within it and the heavy downpour fills the tank in a few minutes.

While the tank is being filled she cleans the big kettle and sets it open and ready to boil.

Another short command and the cloud drifts over to the massive kettle and rains into that too.
When the kettle is full, the lid snaps closed as though by an invisible hand.

Smoke pours from the carved wooden sign on the bar. The sign from The Witch is OUT to IN.

A wave her hand makes a tray of buttermilk fruit scones appear, and a big plate of generous biscuit cake squares.
Looking around she puts her sunglasses on the bar and runs her fingers through her hair flicking it out.

Good morning you angsty artists.
I'm due for a hike on a cliff by the sea, lots of fresh air and sea.
I'm a forest and fresh water girl but I married a mermaid and she needs to taste the ocean.
So be extra nice to each other or the dryads will turn what you're drinking into mucky soapy water from the sink.
I'm sure you're a brave and kinky bunch but I'm pretty sure nobody wants to have a big glass of Guinness changed I to dirty soapy water.
Mind you I've had a few beers in my life the soapy water would be an improvement on.

So for now my darlings.

May the Goddess grant you Clarity to choose the right direction to follow the path of life, remind you that an obstacle can be a wonderful teacher if you approach it with an open mind. May She Protect you and those you love from the storms of life. That at days end May there be a big bowl of something good to eat, shelter from the elements and the company of others to make the good days brighter and the bad days less dark. We are all Her children and whatever role differences we all return to Her arms in in end.
Oh Goddess watch over your children, be with us in our days of Glory and Despair. Remind us of the power of laughter, a big hug and a moment of unity with those who care about us. For all things Were, Are and Will ever be according to Your Will. Most Blessed Be.

Now darlings coffee is calling and a good brekkie before a hike.

Be good or be damn good at being naughty.

Toodles

You are a true gem Michelle! https://static.lushstories.com/emoticons/lush/forum/bighugs.gif A big mug of Beautiful Bertha’s Best sounds fantastic about now. Still trying to shake off the sleepies. Gonna snuggle up in a corner booth with my coffee and sprinkles and get a bit of writing in. https://static.lushstories.com/emoticons/lush/forum/bighugs.gif
