Judy finishes her cereal, washes both her and Millie's dishes, and goes back to bed.  When she wakes up around noon, she changes back into yesterday's jeans and bra but keeps on the borrowed tee, makes the bed, rearranges the contents of her ziplock to fit better in her pocket, and heads to the library, locking the door behind her.

What does Wikipedia have to say about witches?

Wikipedia says that witches are people who cast spells; in order to accomplish this, you need to be in or draw on a suitable mental state, and various white arts traditions cultivate repertoires that require calm, agape, or joy. Black arts witches are those that use negative emotions, usually not their own, and they can store them for later use if they are also potionmakers. Accordingly they have a much worse reputation; black arts are illegal in most places. Different emotions are suitable for different applications; witches are most frequently employed as healers, detectors of various conditions and states, and luck-suppliers.

Hmm.  Do witches have a wiki of their own?  She checks the sources at the bottom of the page.

Wikipedia does not cite other wikis but it does direct her to some craft-oriented webpages.

Yeah, she'll take a look at those, especially any ones about healing.

Apparently agape is the emotion of choice for healing. A lot of it honestly sounds pseudo-religious. Judy's level of healing quality would be exceptional but not implausible.

Convenient!  That sounds like she can do some real good hopefully without having to be out as an extraplanar teenage cyborg vampire.  Or, two of those things.  And maybe she can actually become a witch and stack things in cool ways.

Speaking of, how does one become a witch?  And is there any hope of her just being able to walk into a hospital and demonstrating she can heal people and having that be that or does it look like hoop-jumping is going to be necessary.

One usually studies craft in school like any other major, but some covens still do apprenticeships. However, most employers will want a degree or a coven reference.

That still sounds maybe workable without too much inconvenience; she might be able to show up to a coven but execute basically the same plan.

. . . Anything on black arts running on witches' own negative emotions?  She sure . . . does seem to have a lot of those . . . and is probably likely to continue having them in the future.  Waste not want not and all that.

There is less reliable-looking information on black arts on account of them being illegal.

Uh-huh.  Well, maybe she can at least sell hers to a different black arts witch or something?  But possibly there are actual ethical concerns in play and it is in fact bad for some reason which just isn't immediately clear.  - Is there anything about, like, doing witchcraft causing you to have more of the relevant emotions or anything like that?

Mostly in a "practice is habit forming" way and not in an actual feedback loop way.

Has anybody written a convenient treatise on why black arts are bad or is it just something everybody takes for granted?

It seems sort of like discourse about drugs, where the pro-legalization side has reasonable sounding arguments and the anti-legalization side has a bunch of ruined lives to blame on their bugbear.

Well.  She'll be mindful of that.  She looks up and tries to memorize the contact information for a few local leads, and then - most of the public libraries she's familiar with have like, a cool hangout area for teens; does this one seem to?  Beanbag chairs, she's looking for beanbag chairs.

There are some in the YA section.

Oh cool, that's where she was going to stop by anyway.  She grabs a copy of a new release in the genre and reads a few chapters, with frequent breaks for just sort of staring at the wall and one longer one for half a nap, before heading back to the computer to test whether she succeeded in memorizing the leads and do more research.

Hm, can witchcraft do teleportation?

It does not seem so!

What-all can it do?  With a particular eye towards stuff it will be real conspicuous if she can't replicate.

Basic 101 witching you can get in a sufficiently classy highschool includes some fortune telling, like a step and a half above bullshit horoscopes but apparently good practice; simple luck charms; a spell called "deescalation" which calms the emotions of everyone around you; a contraceptive spell (if your school district isn't abstinence only); and a cold cure.

Those seem like she shouldn't have too hard a time navigating around them.  Uhhh she does not actually seem to be able to think of more witchy questions right now.  Thrift stores near me?

Goodwill over that way.

She's doing so much walking these days it's terrible.  But she doesn't know of any good spots to be sure no one will see her from here yet and so walking it is.  Probably porting to Millie's apartment after this will be safe at least?  - Maybe that's why the key, since she could totally just get in there anyway.

Anyway.  She'll try to get enough outfits for two days as cheaply as she can, jeans and T-shirts (ideally nicer ones, fitted v-necks if she can manage it) and some pajamas and - it's definitely too much to hope for but she'll at least look to see if they have an old MP3 player or a tiny radio or something for like five dollars.

The clothing selection is not great but she can find pants that fit and T-shirts that don't not fit and pajamas that are only the fourth worst kind of plaid. Ancient Walkman?

She carries the Walkman around while she shops with the intention of buying it but realizes that she shouldn't actually bet money that her phone doesn't work here and puts it back.  She really ought to have looked into charger types at the library.  And yeah, she's just looking for like, the girl type of T-shirt; these are fine.

. . . Ugh, this plaid.  Does she have better luck if she just goes in for like, regular comfy shorts and another T-shirt?
