American Witch in London

Hey guys!

I am Serey, a new person, and this is Elizabeth, a witch aligned with Circle Daybreak hailing originally from BioShock Infinite (the main game, no DLC. ...otherwise she'd probs be Midnight for sure HA HA.......). She's just arrived in London after escaping a highly dangerous and abusive dark magic cult in Virginia, and is looking to hide until an American clan of witch hunters can be convinced she's definitely not the heir to it. Elizabeth is highly self-educated in most things, except for her own magical gifts. In fact, she has a hard time controlling her abilities when things go wrong (which is how she and one other person managed to level an entire coven in a few days). She's been kept in isolation most of her life, but she still loves meeting people and experiencing new things. At the moment, she's attending the University of Westminster as part of a long-term science-and-engineering exchange program, as well as trying to learn how to better control her magic from her fellow witches in Circle Daybreak.

I'm around on plurk over at [plurk.com profile] kouject for plotting and other things! :D Really looking forward to playing with you all!

Welcome! c: I was enjoying your test drive thread, sorry I was slow -- work has been busy!

If you like to jump into a Daybreak thing Norrell is actually running a territory claim for them, at the moment! He's trying to bring the CRIMINAL DANGEROUS territory of Lambeth under their jurisidiction!

You can read about it here and sign up to have her support here!

I also play Lancelot, who is also Daybreak! He is [personal profile] knightscode and a lot less difficult to deal with c:

Its always politics with Norrell.

ICly it wont run until next week, ish, probably lasting the week! I think (?) Sign ups to have an impact on the outcome (The mod calculates win/loss based on how many characters put their name to it) stop... tomorrow, maybe? BUT you always jump in late just to thread even without that c: Or sign up to 'be involved' and just have that be 'SHE TURNS UP ON THE LAST DAY WITH STARBUCKS LOOKING HORRIFIED AND CASTS A FEW SPELLS'.

It isnt as if Norrell cares so long as he WINS and can be overly proud. If he loses, however, the worst tantrum.
knightscode: You may want to get that treated (♠45)

Journal switch sorry PRETTY MUCH

HE WANTS TO WIN REALLY BADLY OKAY, HE'S PAYING PEOPLE TO HELP HIM WIN

So everyone will be impressed by his victory and applaud him and so on and so forth. You know. Honours and accolades etc etc. Also: The Greater Good.
knightscode: Just act confident (♠46)

HELP DAYBREAK WE HAVE COOKIES ignore the huge number of complaints and things on fire

PS if you wanted to, you could have her be in Norrell's coven 83 then she would be subjected to his bookish lectures all day every day
knightscode: Do you remember when I was this young (Default)

It's totally up to you! c: NOT COMPULSORY I just wanted you to know it was an option! but Norrell is VERY INTENSE on his intricate careful book learning -- a friend says that talking to him about magic is like a history lecture nobody can bear to listen to.

(Said friend is more in favour of wild fae magic though, so you know)

ETA: OH RIGHT YOU SAW THE SERIES DIDNT YOU thats how Strange describes learning from him in the book, haha!

Yep, that works! c: She can meet Childermass that way too then since he's in Norrell's coven. HE MIGHT APPRECIATE HER SPIRIT MORE.
