You are not the asshole if they CHOSE to be black swans but you MIGHT be the asshole if they awakened naturally and it's not their fault.

Hmmm. Let's look at that last link.

The memoir is available for Ҝ8 on Alphazon.

Katie sits for a moment, browses the witchnet, reconsiders her options, and ponders. "Hey, would 'say 'kiwi' any time I leave the house' be a valid daily compulsion?"

"Miiiight be able to squeeze that in but it would be easier if it were every time you leave any building."

"I guess that works. The main problem it would cause is making me stand out, which I'm already going to."

"Quite. It's eight points that way."

"How many was Black Swan again?"

"Four."

"Huh, so if I take that I can drop another four-pointer. Which of my other ones cost four?"

"No others of four exactly. You have some two-pointers, Eye Catcher and Witch Mark."

"I'm actually kinda looking forward to those. How many was All Natural? Also, can we change the word I have to say from 'kiwi' to my name? I'm realizing now that whatever word I say all the time is probably gonna become my name whether I want it to or not, so I might as well preempt that."

"All Natural is eight. Full name or just part of it?"

"Just Katie. Hmmm, damnit, now I'm tempted to keep Black Swan and dump All Natural instead."

"It would be less inconvenient to awaken here with all your memories in many ways!"

"Hmmm. Thinking about Unveiled again. How likely am I to need to use magic in the presence of mortals?"

"Have you ever needed to do this before in your life?"

"Well, no, but I haven't had the opportunity, and also I haven't had a witch hunter stalking me."

"It may all depend where you mean to live and how much you will see your human friends."

"I know magic world has lots of beautiful places, but I'm quite attached to Earth."

"Then you might need to fight your witch hunter mid-department-store."

"Hmmm... my Hunter will be a human, so a gun will kill them, right? Maybe I could just carry a gun and give myself a skill rune to make myself not worthless with it."

"I cannot guarantee it will be a human or killable by a gun."

"Hmmm. What are the 'official' names of both of those? I wanna look up what other witches who have them both do."

"Hunted, for the being hunted, and Tifhæt, the talent rune."
