	Around the grounds, things were rather calm even if a bit crowded. Not your typical thought of being crowded where people were packed in but for a place that only had had around a dozen of people on it normally, having nearly a hundred walking around now either in tours to get stories or on their own, it was crowded. Though for it to be crowded in a more general sense, with the size of the property, there would most likely have to be four or five times that current number. That wasn't going to happen this night or any other. Not in this year. Not on this day. 

	Evelina continued to greet people as they entered. Directing them this way and that. She knew the faces well. The same came every night. She knew them by face, by name, by mannerisms. At times like this she recalled an old movie that wasn't around yet. Groundhog Day. Bill Murray. Good flick. One she could watch over and over again. Yet she was living her own right then. Reliving the same day, it changing only because her and those who lived in the loop would change small things. It kept one from going insane. 

	You could go mad being in a loop too long and not finding something to do. Perhaps this was why she was open to inviting others in each night. Even though the faces were familiar, they didn't know they had been there before so the small changes the Emendators and Paradoxes put into play changed their reactions. Yet there was one face walking slowly in the crowd towards her that was not the same as every night. This one was new but it was familiar. A gentle smile came to her lips.

	[color=silver]"Why Puridaj dearest, it is pleasant to see you at the gates this evening,"[/color] the ebony haired woman said as she laced her slender fingers together. Her knees bent slightly in the hobble dress she wore and her skin seemed to be as pale as the moonlight. 

	[color=0072bc]"Oh my darling, it has been far too long since I laid eyes on you, what brings you home this night?"[/color] Evelina asked as she reached out and pulled the woman into her arms and embraced her. The woman stood for a moment before returning the embrace and letting out the slightest of breaths. 

	[color=silver]"A matter of some importance but it will hold until a new cycle,"[/color] she said as she stepped back. Evelina nodded slightly. Some things should not be discussed within the presence of the living and right then, there were far too many of them gallivanting about. 

	[color=0072bc]"In that case, do go give greetings to the others. We have some charges, one I believe you should meet,"[/color] she said before motioning back down the road. The woman simply nodded with a slight smile and began to walk down the road towards the main area of the grounds where the kitchen house and the main house were.

	Alicia grunted as leapt out of the way. From above her it seemed something had dislodged itself and sent a stack of crates crashing down from above. The only reason Alicia had even noticed it in time to jump was because one of the heavy wooden boxes had crashed against the fire escape above her. It was a good thing as well because the majority of the crates filled with various items for the tourists crashed right where she had been standing. She would have been crushed beneath them. Would it have killed her? She didn't know. Being a Paradox made you rather durable in a sense but that didn't mean you couldn't die and as much of a thrill seeker Alicia had once been in a previous life, her want to push the envelope was not as great as it once was. 

	[color=ed145b]"Hijo de tu puta madre,"[/color] Alicia spat as she looked back at what had happened. The majority of it had just missed her. Yet she hadn't gotten out of it unscathed. Rolling over she had to keep from yelping out in pain. A piece of board had splintered and embedded itself into her calf. It was jagged and deep. She could feel it digging deep within the meat of the muscle as she rolled over onto her backside and sat up. Every movement sucked as she pulled her leg in an awkward position to get a good look at it without having the wood hit the ground and get driven even deeper. 

	[color=ed145b]"Mierda,"[/color] she added as she took a good look at it. This was not good. She needed to pull it out but she wasn't about to without having something to tie off her leg ready. A make shift bandage would have to work. The only good thing about dressing for this area during this time in her mind right then was the fact she was clothed in local robes. She could rip some from it without it being too noticeable and have the strips of cloth she needed. 

	The smell of smoke was in the air and one could hear off in the distance alarms going off. Seemed something else was going down in the city but it wasn't of Alicias concern. In fact it may have been saving her life. For as she was screaming people didn't notice. They were too busy rushing down the main street to the Statistical Department building that was engulfed in flames right then.
