[color=ec008c]"Only two living guys? Oh, well, that's fine. Even having just one around is a treat." Sylena purrs in reply to Lucas's comment.
Amaiyo's ear twitches when she hears her name being spoken, and she listens in on Fred and Lucas with a grin. "Of course I won't hurt you! I mean, I'm not assigned to. Not yet. I'm not assigned to go after anyone at the moment..."
"Well, I'll support that view, for the most part." Abernathy nods at Makoto's statement on other ghosts being aware of the investigation group's presence. "Most of the ghosts here aren't particularly hostile...just, maybe not so trusting. Though, those few that are hostile...well, I hope I can at least be by your side for such inevitable encounters..."
Sylena giggles delightedly at Makoto's words directed at her, a small grin making it's way across her face. "How sweet of you to say, darling..."
"So...can you tell us what you know about this whole mystery, then?" Minako smiles politely at Luxton.
"Ah, a girl with manners! Just my type." Luxton winks at Minako, then clears his throat and gets a bit more serious. "Yes, we'd be happy to tell you lovely people what we've experienced. Sylena, you should start. It always makes more sense when you do."
"Gladly." Sylena nods in agreement before beginning her tale in a more serious tone as well. "You see...Luxton and I found Negloria town when individually looking for places to scout around, as it was our natural job. We both decided that, as a small town far from others, it'd be a relaxing, easy place for us to work. From there, we began working as partners, and both of us managed to find jobs as employees to Lavenshade Mansion. Of course, we both worked jobs that suited our needs for attracting others to us. Luxton was a bar attendant, and I was a performer. I used to sing and dance on the stage of the large ballroom. I suppose you've not been there yet...because us two are usually there, and this is the first we've seen of you all."
"I wasn't aware that this place had a ballroom...but, for such a large mansion, it certainly fits." Minako starts searching the foyer with her eyes, trying to identify what could be a door leading to such a ballroom. Luxton catches this (as he's only been eyeing Minako the whole time Sylena has been talking), and chuckles.
"Don't fret, my dear. We can show you all the ballroom once we're finished here. Perhaps we could even dance together." Luxton grins lightly.
"Anyways...yes, we've existed for centuries, but most of what we recall on the important side of things is when this mansion's owner was indeed still alive. This mansion was built by his younger self in the late 1800's, so we came years afterward. His eldest daughter was engaged, and his younger daughter was outgoing, but quite polite." Sylena continues on.
"So...the owner had two daughters, not one. Interesting. Go on." Minako takes note of that fact. Earlier, they did receive info that the master of the mansion had a daughter, who they'd all guessed was Negloria...but with two daughters, there could be something more to it. She prepares to take more important mental notes while continuing to hear what the Succubus and Incubus have to say.
"He was a very kind soul, always throwing lavish parties for nearby townspeople to attend, letting the little children who went on daring 'adventures' out to this mansion in the Shinkuro Woods have prizes and treats for their efforts, and so on. So...what I saw during a certain evening's performance startled me. You see, I was in the ballroom that night, entertaining the guests. I was doing a dance routine of mine, when suddenly, I start hearing shrieks and cries from further down the room. I take a closer look, and see two men in shady, concealing outfits walking away from the mansion's owner. The owner had [color=fff200]two girls[/color] at his side, one his older daughter, the other being a [color=fff200]friend of his younger daughter[/color]. The younger daughter was making a fuss, because one of the shady men was[color=fff200] carrying her away.[/color] All her father and sister did was watch. The young friend, several years older than the young daughter at the time, did pursue the shady men. After seeing all that...well, I took my break, and then attempted to follow the men and the young friend, mostly out of curiosity. I couldn't find them, even when I did walk far past the fence of the mansion. I then went back and tried to locate Luxton. And when I found him...well, tell them what you were doing now, Luxton." Sylena gestures to Luxton to indicate that it is his turn to speak.
"Yes. I almost wish I could've been there to witness all that Sylena had, but at the time, I was already on my break from service in the ballroom's bar. I was strolling about the halls when I noticed a large group of men being led by one girl to a room upstairs. My curiosity was piqued, since I'd assumed that Sylena was the only other Succubus around the area. I decided to tag along with the group and watch. What I got was more gruesome than I'd anticipated. You see...that girl was Myriatte. She led those men in to sacrifice for her own gain. None of them survived. She'd have come after me too, if I hadn't turned into my own demon form in defense, and proven to her that I posed no threat, and could indeed defend myself from a threat as well." Luxton explains. "I escaped, and then ran into Sylena. We then retreated to a safer room to discuss what we both saw. That room upstairs still exists, the murder scene...but no one goes in there if they aren't a ghost. That's Myriatte's room here. Any creature with a body made of blood and flesh can expect not to step out of there unharmed."
Minako takes a moment to think over all she's been told, then looks back at Sylena. "Sylena...do you think the little daughter who was taken away could have been Negloria?"
"Well...that's what I wonder." Sylena replies. "The older daughter had brown hair up in a bun, hazel eyes, and was very polite. I believe that she's Yolani. There's no way she's not. However...the second daughter, the little one, was outgoing, polite, and also had brown hair, but in two adorable, smaller buns. And her eyes were bright hazel, almost amber. That doesn't fit the appearance of our little Negloria at all, does it? The only thing that matches there would be the age...the daughter looked about 5, and so does Negloria."
"I remember what the friend of that younger daughter looked like, though. She had long black hair, and purple eyes, sort of like Negloria. Though...the problem with that identity theory is that the friend was about...13-ish, possibly. Definitely not young enough or small enough to fit Negloria's appearance as we know her now." Luxton offers.
"Tch...great, another living group of kids on an investigation of this place, riddled with demons and ghouls of all kinds. Wow, people today are just so very smart, aren't they?" Another voice, a girl's, joins in on the conversation, but upon looking around, no one else can see where it's coming from. Abernathy stays silent, offering no comment as to who the voice belongs to, but by the look on his reptilian face, it's clear that he does indeed recognize it...[/color]
