I'm not saying that I would not write this, however, it feels like it'll make some uncomfortable. If I were to write this though, I feel it being something that can happen in the future would be better. Something Hilda does occasionally as a vent when she hits her limit. It's all up to you guys though.
 
Hmmmm.
If I put it at the end of the vent-plan, with wandering into the woods and Hallucinogens just before, maybe a hex that simply puts Hilda into a bad trippy sleep for a full night? Some bad dreams, something that forces her to confront her guilt?

It feels appropriately witchy and badger-like for her to have this screaming call-out at Edgar and then a wander off into the woods, curling up safe but uncomfortable in the boll of some tree-roots.

That sounds interesting! I like that!
Burnt badger has been edited into a plan with a relatively chronological order.

[] Plan: Badger Burnt
-[] Cannabis
-[] Music (Addicted)
-[] Call someone out. Make it hurt: Edgar.
--[] Call him the fuck out for messing with Hilda's head at a vulnerable moment! She has already had trauma and fucking twat fay messing with it, and She trusted him to fuck her under his trance without pulling any shit afterward! Instead He put this helpful loving fucking mommy-wannabe in her head! He took advantage in a way He never should have! Hilda isn't giving up Stosneita, but Edgar, you fucking took advantage in how he introduced Hilda to her!
-[] Wander out into the Wild:
--[] Break a piece of needed technology: Break Hilda's personal guns into pieces, burn and bury their wood and dump their metal in water to rust. Fuck these violent tools, may nature take them back.
--[] Lose one of your bonds (break a focus): Smash your broom in half and then burn it with fire magic.
--[]Find a safe, warm but relatively uncomfy burrow beneath some tree-roots to curl up in.
--[] Hallucinogens
--[] Use yourself as a focus (do blood magic for something)
---[] Hex someone who has it coming: Hilda hexes herself with blood magic, making her stay asleep through a bad trip with bad dreams for an entire night, confronting her guilt and self-shame.

Oh, reminder, you can try anything as a new vice if you can construe it as being self destructive or being able to do it to excess. So like, in the case of @marshalcarolus saying this might manifest as her this being closer to her religion, she could hypothetically start Prayer as a vice. I could see her quietly whispering prayers to Elba out in the woods for the entire day to forgive her for her violence and to please help her not hurt others in the future. Again, it can be anything self destructive.
 
[X] Plan: Deserving Doctor
-[X] Call someone out. Make it hurt
--[X] The Professor
--[X] She screwed you on the mission. No money for an escort, not even a warning that you'd need to bring in a bomber. And for what, "secrecy". The Goths sure as hell knew about this bomber, it's payload, and it's location. What genius tells their allies nothing and their enemies everything. Was saving the few Thaler you might have charged her extra for this duty that important? Did she feel she needed to mislead you to get her weapon of war? Because if so, she's in good company. The company of kings, emperors and generals. She might want to contact Sopwith. Maybe bomber command is hiring.
-[X] Hex someone who deserves it
-[X] Use yourself as a focus (do blood magic for something)
--[X] The Professor
--[X] Blood includes "mirror sense or sensation" so let her feel the pain she causes. Maybe that'll make sure she's more careful in the future.
-[X] Hallucinogens
-[X] Cannabis
-[X] Music (Addicted)

I feel like it would be a bad idea to hex the leader of a settlement that we're currently in.
 
Ooof, Burn Out is tough. As much as Going into the Wild worries me, [X] Plan: Badger Burnt seems like the most appropriate.
 
12-1 Embers to Flame
[X]Fish Fight
-[X]Break Hypnosis
-[X]Call Someone Out, Make it Hurt
-[X]Break Trust with Edgar
-[X] Break a piece of needed technology: Break Hilda's sawn-off shotgun and pistol.
-[X]Drinking

-[X]Cannabis


After a moment of walking, you came to a he realization that you were still hypnotized. It had affected you all mission. You continued to be a quick-witted scared little animal. You needed that gone, now. You turned around and walked back to Riya, really not wanting to talk to anyone right now but this being necessary to you.

"Riya, please, take off the hypnosis. Now. I need it gone right now." You said desperately, just feeling scared at this point now that you'd thought about how your head had been messed with and you were indoctrinated into whatever cult Edgar is a part of.

"Alright, yeah, sure, stars." She gently, kind of awkwardly touched your thigh. "Fish-net fun." She said. Your rage came back, almost immediately. You weren't scared anymore, just fucking pissed at Edgar. "Are you… ok?" She asked, probably seeing how much you were shaking from the muscle cramping and violent rage.

"I don't know." You said, sobbing. Tears started rolling down your face. Goddesses, you did not need this right now, you didn't need to be crying in front of your best friend, you needed to go bite Edgar's ear off of something. She tried to hug you again but you just stepped away. "Not now. I need to go talk to Edgar." You said, turning around and walking away, trying to stop crying and focusing on what you were going to say.

"…alright! I'll be here if you… need me…" you heard her say as you walked off. That made you want to cry more, for some reason.

You walked down the metal scaffold stairs, broom and satchel in hand, considering hitting Edgar over the head with one of them but deciding to just go with her fists if it came to blows. Though he was massive, he could take getting hit with a broom. You just kept playing the different scenarios that could play out over and over in your mind, each more explosive than the last, wondering if you'd attack him, or he'd attack you, or if he'd try to kill you for calling him out on whatever dark cult he was a part of. Edgar was inspecting his engine when you saw him. Actually seeing him almost made you want to stop. Your rage must have been apparent as Edgar looked concerned as you approached him. The space in which his plane was parked was a bit below the rest of the ground than the rest of the surrounding land, so when you walked down the steep hill to talk to him, you went from being above back to the diminutive girl you always were in this world. However, the fact you had to look up at him didn't deter your fury in the slightest.

"We need to talk." You said, breath cold in your throat.

"Yeah, sure- Are you ok?" Edgar said. That nearly pushed you over the edge.

"I'M FUCKING FINE!" You exclaimed unsure why everyone kept asking you that. Well no, you knew. Edgar looked at you like he was actually scared. "You fucked with my head and then made me take some other voice on my head when I was in NO fucking place to make that decision. I was on drugs and you had me hypnotized." You explained. "I have my own faith, I don't need your goddesses or whatever." You snarled, waiting for a response. You wanted him to hit you. You wanted him to do something and not just stand there and make you belt out what you were feeling.

"…I'm sorry." He said, looking actually remorseful.

"I TRUSTED YOU! I LET YOU FUCK ME FOR GODDESSES' SAKE!" You screamed to a thankfully empty field. You slapped him. Hard. You weren't very strong, and it didn't really look like it hurt him, but he looked like you just crushed his soul. "ARE YOU GONNA HIT BACK?!" You asked, begging for some kind of response. You couldn't handle being ignored like this.

"I'm not gonna hit a girl." Edgar said desperately.

[ ] Attack (Roll +Hard, Brawl. You won't injure him intentionally because I'm sure you're not trying to do that)
[ ] Do nothing (+2 Stress, back up to 8)
 
[X] Attack (Roll +Hard, Brawl. You won't injure him intentionally because I'm sure you're not trying to do that)

Commit to the vent, badger-girl, let it out.
 
[X] Attack (Roll +Hard, Brawl. You won't injure him intentionally because I'm sure you're not trying to do that)

Commit to the vent sounds about right
 
[X] Attack (Roll +Hard, Brawl. You won't injure him intentionally because I'm sure you're not trying to do that)
I don't think making him look the fool is what we want, so Brawl, not Swashbuckling.
 
It seems we are hurting Edgar more today. I'll assume the goal is stress relief. On a full success you'll get out clean too. So roll Hard!

Never mind let's keep the vote going actually.

Y'all we have a Hard of 0 (ZERO)! Let's not brawl.
[x] Magic will FIX THIS…it has to
- call out Edgar, make it Hurt (can we do this again?) Call him a coward, just like all Men.
- it's time get a good look at the Voices in our Head, Blood Magic on Ourselves to have see them/learn more about them
