While Evelina is sewing back up the corpse of Peter she sings to herself some, [url=https://youtu.be/kdjYlrvVFNo]an old tune[/url] from England, one she grew fond of during her time in the United Kingdom. Her voice seems to echo as she sings, continuing her work until the fallen Paradox is stitched as well as he can be now that he is no longer in the any land of the living. The song seems to carry on he is dressed, accepting the aid of Andromeda if she is willing. While this is going on, Alicia regales the tale of Keystone to James and any who would listen. She speaks of how she met the man in London while working for her father and setting up a new branch of Machete Security Services. Describing Keystone as a monster of a man in size, joking that Gilbert there looked like a short twig compared to Keystone. (Which the two were actually close enough in height and weight but Keystone is far more large in size.) How they came together was odd and such but he was a good man even if he did have his own demons, who didn't these days. Especially those in her line of work back in that world. Explaining they were not serious. She cared for him, it wasn't love but it wasn't lust either. It was a line she had used to describe her involvement with Ash during James time at one point. Evelina makes a small appearance in the kitchen house to request Gilberts help, it is time to move Peter to his final resting place. During this time George helps Gio finish the grave before going back to the mill to construct a simple cross to place as a marker and then returning. It is nothing special but it has meaning, as much as it can right then. Evelina remains in the kitchen house to explain that there has been a death to the new Paradoxes. Their abilities are in check right now, those that have come to light. She invited them to attend but requests they remain respectful if they do, she will not tolerate drunkenness during the burial. With that she turns and leaves, moving swiftly to return to Gilberts side as he would be retrieving Peter for her. Singing again now she repeats the song, over and over again under her breath as she walks. Alicia decides to stay behind, knowing her ways. She would just say or do something that would anger at least one of the Emendators. As Evelina makes it to the grave with Gilbert, George turns and helps to lower Peters body into the grave. Even though his mask covers half of his face, the part that shows is showing sadness as he does though he is not saying any words. Evelina speaks as they do and as George beings to cover the body with earth. Telling the tale of his life before he became a Paradox, she tells of his fight in WWI, how he was captured, how they tortured him, how he stayed strong until the very end. That same strength came with him to this world, to this life. Even though he was hindered by the damage on his leg and the mental wounds of his previous life he worked well here and helped to stop several alterations in the time line. She smiles a bit as she speaks about how Peter insisted going to a small village to ensure that a single component to a spell was removed from being able to be purchased. It would have altered confronting a necromancer and could have altered so much more. The item, Salt Peter. It was only fitting he said that he should be the one to do it. As the last bit of dirt is spread on the grave and George places the cross as a marker, she pulls from her pocket a golden pocket watch. Opening it, it contains a [url=https://i.pinimg.com/236x/fa/53/c3/fa53c3025ceed77f8d287c9ba1e23bd1.jpg]picture[/url]. [color=0072bc]"We never go back,"[/color] she says as she lays it on the cross before turning and leaving the grave. George opts to remain behind for a bit but it isn't long after that he leaves as well. Changing his clothing and cleaning up. Evelina needs some time to herself and as that decides to fix dinner for the new arrivals. Alicia leaves the kitchen as soon as she shows up ad goes to sit by Peters grave, content to give her last respects alone. It isn't long until dinner is ready and Evelina is setting up in the dining room. She accepts any help that comes her way but she does not speak. At least she does not speak to any around her. As she sets up dinner she recites The Raven from memory. As she finished the long poem dinner is ready and all that wish to sit and eat may. It is time for her to explain a bit more. Letting those there know there will be guests from the local town showing up soon for the evenings festivities. Most just wish to tour the grounds because of the places history. Kids will run around, asking for candy. She has plenty to hand out, it is in bowls in each of the main room. There will be some games, some scaring going on. All will be gone by 11 pm, if not they will be escorted off the grounds so the place is clear before the reset. George makes another appearance, at the door of the dining room. Evelina stands and goes over to speak with him. They speak of George returning to Cairo, loose ends must be wrapped up. She agrees. Things needs to be taken care but informs him that Alicia will be going with him. Knowing the Destruere are in Cairo she will not let him face them alone should they make another attack. He gives a grunt but nods and leaves. Evelina turns and returns to her seat. [color=0072bc]"You're training will begin tomorrow,"[/color] she informs the Paradoxes who chose to eat dinner now with her. There is a loon on her face before she pulls out the dice from her pocket and lets them fall to the table. There is a look of relief to pass her features as she gathers them back up and returns them to their home. (This is a test of a new way to move things along. We have had a small time skip. Your update is a summary of what occurred during this time. Pick up at the current time. Think of it like a book or a movie or TV show. Small sections with a little bit of back and forth and then we move on. Let's see how this goes. We have our first now. Make note of your information dump and pick up as needed. Continue posting as per usual.)
