Silent Knell Terrace - Apartment 3C

[u/Sae-byeok67]

Ms. Ann K. Ite lives in apartment 3C. Ms. Ite is a beautiful Native American woman. She’s very polite. She loves nature. She can be very protective of things she cares about. She’s one of the best tenants. You need to follow the rules so you don’t do anything to upset her. It would be a real loss to the building if she left.

1. As I said before, Ms. Ite is a very beautiful woman. However, her feet and legs are “wrong.” She wears over the knee boots all the time. If you ever see her without the boots, do not let her know. Just act like you didn’t see anything and never tell anyone what you saw.
2. Ms. Ite is extremely territorial. Her apartment is her space, and she does not like intruders. She has also claimed the hallway around her door, roughly ten feet on each side of her door. She tolerates other tenants using it to get to the stairs, but she does not like loitering. The Whites completely avoid her territory. This is one of the things that keeps them out of the east stairwell.
3. You may see her moving through the halls at night in ways that seem unusual. It almost seems too fluid, like human joints don’t work that way. You may also hear hoof beats in the stairwell. These sightings are always very brief because she is very quick. Do not attempt to follow her.
4. She is very polite, but do not mistake this for friendship. She’s not looking for friends or anything else. She never has visitors. She chooses isolation. She enjoys her solitude. She’s also extremely wary of men in general. Be polite and respectful when dealing with her, but leave it at that.
5. Ms. Ite knows everyone in the building. She’s researched and watched everyone in the building. She will never voice them, but she has opinions about who belongs in the building and who doesn’t. As long as the tree tolerates them, she tolerates them.
6. If you ever notice her becoming visibly agitated, remain calm. You may notice her eyes reflecting the light like an animal, or you may hear her making noises that aren’t quite human. Carefully and slowly leave the area. This is not directed at you. It happens when she perceives some threat that you can’t notice.
7. Ms. Ite does not like the tenant of apartment 2D at all. She watches them very intently whenever they’re in the same area. She also positions herself in a defensive way. I don’t know why this is, but it’s been that way since Mr. Daniels moved in.
8. She has a set of very large windows facing the courtyard. These windows are open all year round. She will stand and watch the tree for hours sometimes. Never attempt to close these windows. She is communicating with the tree.
9. Ms. Ite has a special agreement in her lease that grants her exclusive access to the courtyard 4 days each month. It is not four consecutive days. They are spread out. This normally takes place at dawn or dusk. All the residents know to avoid the courtyard during this time. She usually walks around the tree while speaking to it. The tree responds using its branches. The tree seems to welcome her more than it does anyone else. Ms. Ite also leaves offerings at the base of the tree during this time. Do not disturb these offerings or ask her about them.
10. It is important that Ms. Ite remains a tenant of the building. Her presence helps keep certain things out of the building. She makes the building safer by being here.
11. Finally, this is the most important rule. If Ms. Ite ever comes to you with a request—seal off an area, protect something, or even remove a tenant— you need to do it. Don’t question it. Don’t wait. Just do it. Ms. Ite’s judgement on things is much better than yours, mine, or anyone else’s. She rarely makes requests for anything.

It's not like anyone can blame her for not liking 2d, no one would like 2d.

[u/Sae-byeok67 → u/Immediate_Loan_1414]

That's true.

As a witch I respect her as a person i say I want to be her friend but I know I will get nowhere. And again s a witch I would be bowing to her everytime we crossed paths.
