Halliwell Manor has been empty for several years. The layer of dust that has accumulated on the furniture is unpleasantly thick. There are cobwebs in every corner, waiting to spring themselves on an unsuspecting visitor. The rooms smell musty, like a waterlogged library. Though the garden shows signs of maintenance, the interior is oppressively lifeless. Without people to fill it, the house has become a shadow of its former self. Underneath all of that, the place is the same as the sisters remember. Halliwell Manor looks like home.
"Liam is pretty basic. Standard super-strength, plus a temper. I'm not sure I've seen the limits of what Hayden can do, but assume that on top of super strength, she can summon terrifying bone monsters as minions. Korbrant turns invisible. Dawad isn't even superpowered. His teeth are sharper than the average human's."
Fernanda gives him a look that is more unimpressed than usual. "I suppose we can take a while longer to prepare. Maybe stock on potion ingredients."
Fernanda and Beatrix can give them some space and take this time to stock on potion ingredients.
Felicia snorts a self-deprecating laughter. "I am sorry that the forces of hell exist and turned you into their evil minion."
"It was my choice. I didn't know what I was getting into, but it was my choice. I'm the only one. The others, they're just science experiments, they didn't get a say. I did."
"They came to when I was nine. They offered me power, and I took it. They didn't get what they wanted from that experiment, so they kept trying."
"I'm just glad I have you."
They stay that way for a while. Theo tells her more about what happened to him, although he's light on the details of his murders; that topic seems to make him uncomfortable.
She will do her best to comfort him. She won't pry much on the murders and snuggle up to him when she feels his discomfort.
Extremely unusual supplies. Felicia picks some potions from the book of shadows (to contact the dead, to find lost witches and to request a sign or vision), which sound generically useful and sets up getting ingredient supplies. Some stuff is a matter of being sure that they have the right herbs in their kitchen or visiting a flower shop.
But "fresh blood from the left hand" means that Fernanda and Trix go to the pharmacy figure out which medical supplies. They probably are going to need a great deal many, but Fernanda will probe more on the capabilities of magical healing first.
For now, Fernanda decides that a blood draw kit is more versatile than a diabetic lancet, and she is going to purchase that.
She also grabs some condoms while she is at it.
Fernanda shrugs. "I honestly don't know, but I am pretty sure it will be something out of passion and I don't know Theo's opinions on unprotected sex post marriage, but I figure that leaving a box in Felicia's nightstand can't hurt."
