(Trigger warning: This story contains themes based around loss and death of a loved one. Please read with caution.) “Aren’t most heirlooms supposed to be like a necklace or something? I can’t show this off.” Dahlia had been ranting about her supposed inheritance for the better part of the last hour. She was absolutely furious with the lamp she’d received.

The wind from the east flutters through the chimes on the front porch. The tables are set, the chill in the air has come. The grin on Beatrix’s face is… whimsical. She’s got a special recipe in brew and she’s thrilled to try it out on her next human customer! Autumnal Menu; Jinx juice - warm vanilla milk, cinnamon spice, orange peel shavings, and a hint of whimsy. To ward off bad luck for the day. Camel-meal - chamomile tea (water or milk), allspice to sweeten, lavender and honey. To attract a peaceful day. Defeat-Me-Not; g...
