[color=bc8dbf]"No idea,"[/color] Livia replied. [color=bc8dbf]"This cemetery predates the city. It's possible she is, though if so I would think she'd remember her own life a bit better instead of remembering nothing beyond the cemetery's walls. I don't think this stone holds any power, or rather, if it did it's long since faded."[/color] Or at least, that's as much as she was going to say at the moment. Not enough information to make a solid guess at the moment.

[color=8493ca]"Now hold on a minute,"[/color] Charlotte interrupted. [color=8493ca]"A protector? That means she's trying to keep us out. Why would someone want to keep someone out of a graveyard?"[/color]

[color=bc8dbf]"Huhm. Someone's using their noggin."[/color] She smirked. [color=bc8dbf]"Truthfully, we don't have enough information. My words are only things I have come to a conclusion after a year or so of study."[/color]

[color=8493ca]"So we don't entirely know what we're dealing with here."[/color] Charlotte pondered, giving a small frown as she held a hand to her chin. [color=8493ca]"If something or someone is controlling her like we're assuming, does that means they're looking for something here?"[/color]

[color=bc8dbf]"Perhaps, but as I said we don't have enough information to have a correct answer. I have guesses,"[/color] She frowned. [color=bc8dbf]"but none of them pleasant. I'll elaborate more if it becomes relevant, but for now we should find her."[/color] Ren hopped down from Himeko's grasp, walking in a circle for a bit before settling down. [color=bc8dbf]"Don't worry Ren, we'll find her before anything bad happens."[/color] The fox raised one of its paws to its muzzle, before scampering off in a random direction. [color=bc8dbf]"As for how we find her, she'll likely not be in any of her usual places...and tracking a single spirit is difficult at best. We could wonder around but ultimately I feel that would prove useless. If she's avoiding us, she can simply find a locked mausoleum and hole up there...and it would lead to use likely being attacked by more spirits."[/color]

Livia frowned, furrowing her eyebrows. How exactly [i]did[/i] one find a ghost that didn't want to be found?

[color=bc8dbf]"...Hm, if it's no too much trouble, perhaps we could draw her out."[/color] She finally replied after a few seconds of thought. [color=bc8dbf]"You're good with that blade of yours, so put it to use. There's a lot of activity not far from here on the other side of the graveyard."[/color]

[color=8493ca]"You think finding more of those spirits and killing them would draw them out?"[/color] Charlotte questioned. [color=8493ca]"That seems a bit of a long shot."[/color] Not like they really had much more of a choice, though.

[color=bc8dbf]"It would at least be better than twiddling our thumbs."[/color]
