Her friend was too noble to poison her, and if Millicent ever did attempt to lace her drink, Virginia would be but amused. Perhaps it was a Crypt family oddity, this obsession with death and the horrors in this world, yet Millicent's words brought a brief smile to her face. Her mother would have said something similar--not from a fixation due to marriage, but from practicality. There was a reason every Crypt owned a good portion of black. It was best to be prepared. And of course, with the number of public hangings Virginia attended, her black dress was put to good use. 

[color=9999ff]"It is heading towards Almack's,"[/color] Virginia explained. [color=9999ff]"I was not able to follow it much further without substantial risk, and as much as I would love to explore the depths of whatever hell awaits me, I cannot abandon dear James just yet."[/color] 

She then recounted the rest of what she had seen to Millicent--including the peculiar fog that had attached itself to the corpse. She sipped more of the water, considering for a moment what duty called her to do. [color=9999ff]"I shall send word to Almack's to cancel the event for this evening. Your mother cannot attempt to wed you to Satan if there is no party to attend."[/color] Virginia then stood up from the bed, stretching her limbs ever so slightly. 

[color=9999ff]"If you wish to live to your birthday in two days' time, then I must strongly advise you to remain at home,"[/color] Virginia continued. [color=9999ff]"I would hate for your deathday to come so soon, dear Millicent."[/color]
