MAURTIA FALLS #001 [ closed to occupants or vistors ]
As the Solstice approaches, Zelda is getting into the holiday spirit. Granted, what that spirit looks like is relative. While she's done nothing to encroach on any decor or celebration the other inhabitants of the house may partake in, she has her own way of doing things, too. This is why it won't be unusual to find a few festive inverted pentagrams here and there and Zelda spending her evenings relaxed on the couch, a burning cigarette in hand, drinking a glass of gin and paging through a haunted holiday classic.
Come the night before the Solistice, she places a Yule log into the fireplace and lights it, keeping a close eye on it as the flames lick around it. She's eager to inform everyone of its importance; "The lit Yule log protects this house, and bars all manner of evil and mischevious spirits. It is of the utmost importance that it stays lit through the Solistice when the veil is at its thinnest -- especially with all the strange occurrences as of late."
HEROPA
Zelda isn't blind to what's been going on around the country the last couple of weeks, but since it hadn't seemed to directly affect her she hadn't seemed to particularly care. This means business as usual - although, for today, that business is in the sunny city of Heropa, Zelda's least favorite place. She pursuing an outdoor shopping mall, wearing a large-brimmed, black hat (it's no wonder why those once had been so fashionable among witches) and dark sunglasses, examing the stalls and shops for the things she needs. While it might be unbelievable, she's Christmas shopping. Although she would never admit it, Sabrina is enamored with the ridiculous holiday and a gift would make her happy. And if Zelda gets Sabrina a gift, it's rude to not get everyone a gift, right?
And maybe even a few little things for herself. The sales are good this time of year, after all.
She's in a good enough mood up until she encounters a man dressed up as Santa--complete with a beard and mistletoe patterned board shorts in honor of the sunny weather--who has probably nipped at the eggnog a bit too much. He starts to follow her around which is at first a novelty and then becomes incredibly annoying, to the point where she finally speeds into the nearest store, turning around to wave her hand at the door before she can be further followed.
"Vobis non transeat." Although unassuming shoppers won't have an issue coming in and out, drunk board-short Santa will find himself left out in the cold - so to speak. Zelda takes a minute to get her bearings, finally looking around in the store which has turned out to be a very obnoxious Christmas decoration store. Every surface is covered with baubles and grinning snowmen and colorful nativities, and Zelda's likely to be there for a long, long while yet.
She lets out an ever-suffering sigh. "Well, this certainly limits my options."

"Is it just me, or is it weird that the humans even in tropical climates seem obsessed with snowy winter wonderlands?"
no subject
"It's an unhealthy obsession. Give me damp autumn days every day without this wintery nonsense."

"What're you called, then?"
He tilts his sunglasses down a bit, just for fun. He's become fond of occasionally startling humans with his snakey eyes.

"Zelda Spellman." She offers her hand. "You must indulge me about yourself. Are you a demon of some sort?"
no subject
"Ah, got it in one, pleasure to meet you, Zelda. I'm Crowley."

At least, she hopes so. Demons aren't exactly friendly where she is from, but neither are angels, and she already made peace with one of those.
"What are you a demon of, pray tell?"
