"Say what?" he looked at the hand he ha dropped. on of the gnarled fingers had curled in.

Wisgoth took a deep breath, not wanting to loose his temper at Angelo.
"You've just taken away her free will to love. That's going to come back to you, perhaps in a different form, perhaps not. But you'll pay for that."
Wisgoth took the hand and put it back in its case. "I'm not sure why I stocked it."
--- Riva stroked Claire, not looking at her aunt. She was sure she'd pay for this later.
"I've missed talking to you Claire. I'll have to get you a type writter so we can talk again."
Claie purred in agreement.

Lee smiled at the aunt and helped herself to tea...then froze, hand shaking. Something huge and terribly dark was looming...
She glanced around, and there was nothing...but she was still terrified and she didn't know why...

Claire stopped purring. She looked at Lee, her expression unreadable, even for a cat. Riva looked over, startled.
"What?"

Lee's eyes seemed far away "Hand of glory...take the left hand of the hanged man dry it in Lorack salts for seven weeks. It opens dors and grants three wishes...but at a terrible price...such a price..."
She blinked and set the tea cup down. "I have to go..."

Claire and Riva looked at each other. Claire hoppe doff the table. Riva stood up and told her aunt she had to go.
Both follwoed Lee. Neither was sure what was going on, but both knew they'd want to help. Riva was that kind of person, and Claire was quite fond of Lee.
--- Wisgoth was frantically loking for a way to undo what had beend one, without using the hand. So far it wasn't working.
"What good is so much studying if I can't even counteract a curse placed by a writer with my own charm?!"

Lee wanted to run home, huddled safe in the abandoined train yards...but she went back to Claire's horrors. She walked right past Wisgoth and Angelo to stare at the hand of Glory. Again here eyes were far away "A twisted blessing, a left hand curse...demon's engagment gift to an angel..."
She turned her head, and it wasn't Lee that looked out of her eyes, the carefee street magician was gone. She smiled "Such an abominaation...had I known it was here I would have destroyed it sooner. Wisgoth, a candle if you please...Angelo...be warned, this girl gives of her own free will" This visage of Lee had been seen long ago, back when she told fortunes...

Riva and Claire burst into the shop, RIva almost tripping over her dress adn teh step. Claire lept on top of the glass case, adn hissed.
Wisgoth didn't give Claire or Riva a look. He was too busy staringa t Lee, trying to divine what form Angelo's foolish wish had taken. "What are you going to do?"
(OOC maybe we should wait for zoken)

"What the hell is going on?" Angelo said. "It isnt like this stuff is real right? there's just some sort of thing inside that curled the finger... right...?"

SHe laughed "Oh, beloved of Lee...how niave. Now, we must protect you...Wisgoth? PLease, the candle. Lee will awaken soon, and I would have this done..."

He grabbed what appeared to be Lee by the collar and shoved her agains a sale rack. "WHo are you and why do you look like Lee." he had an angry look, but suddeny Clare (I'm assuming claire is an NPC, correct me if I'm wrong) jumped onto his shoulder and bit his ear. he dropped the psuedo Lee and backed off. Clair had never attacked him before.

"Lee is alive and well. Sghe was terrfied, and when that happens,. as she is a sensitive, I take over. She hates being bound, as she is a free spirit, so she ran. Now I am going to attempt to save your life, kindly, do not assault me again"

"Save me from what?" Angelo asked. he had had a jar thrown at him, someone who looks like Lee chastise him (twice now), and Clair attacked him. he wanted to know what in the seven hells was going on.

"You are always seeking stories...you do not know the stories of the hand of glory?" she peered into his face "You do not beleive you have done anything do you?"
