Livia frowned. An artifact of some sort? Dangerous, if true. She wasn't entirely certain if she believed this Himeko quite so readily, but it would likely be a good idea to perform some sort of investigation regardless. More importantly though, Katherine was being a little twit. Livia grabbed Katherine's ear, pulling on it somewhat roughly playful manner, causing her sister to bend at a slightly awkward angle though not enough to hurt. [color=bc8dbf]"How about I deem you a demonic entity of lust?"[/color] Livia looked over to Himeko and Charlotte, not letting go of Katherine's ear. [color=bc8dbf]"And while I don't entirely believe her, rumors and legends always have some historical base in truth. I will help, though only if they assist me with something first."[/color] Finally letting go of Katherine's ear, she walked over to the table, which currently on it had a map of the area opening upon it. [color=bc8dbf]"There's an old forest near here with an ancient, overgrown cemetery. I frequently go there to converse with the spirits."[/color] [color=8882be]"Spirits...? Like some sort of medium?"[/color] Charlotte questioned. Speaking with ghosts was something out of a story, let alone convinced that they even existed. [color=8882be]"Forgive me if I don't entirely believe you."[/color] [color=bc8dbf]"If that is the term you prefer, yes."[/color] Livia replied seriously. [color=bc8dbf]"And I don't blame you. You don't have the talent for such a thing. Normally the place is quite abundant with lost spirits eager for a chance at one last conversation before moving on or eager to linger for some reason. Over the past week though..."[/color] She frowned. [color=bc8dbf]"Things have gone...quiet. Unnaturally quiet. Not even the birds or forest animals can be heard."[/color]
