[b][color=#9999ff]Skills[/color][/b]: Deduction, Biology[/center][hr]	Virginia nodded as Vlad discussed the introductions and all, and as Ny beckoned for her to cross the threshold first, she did so. She could feel the macabre and morose in the air - the haze that was in front of her sight, the ambiance of screams, the corpse they brought in with them... And not to forget, the Crypt walking into a church. It had the makings of an excellent All Hallow's Eve and Virginia was a bit sad that James was not there to appreciate it. Would Ludwig have enjoyed this atmosphere as well? While it may have been unnerving to some, Virginia found it very calming. She was more at home among the forces of darkness than among those of the light. 

	At Ny's direction, Virginia glanced back and saw Elizaveta along with another man. She smiled slightly, seeing her friend - she looked like she had fought through a great deal, but there was no sign of the Grand Duchess losing her soul. She appeared human as always. [color=9999ff]"The Dark Mother has brought our threads together,"[/color] she told Ny with a sad smile. [color=9999ff]"Do you feel as if we are on the cusp of an extraordinary tragedy, one that history dare not forget?"[/color] she inquired, looking at her friend. Although she had just met him, she felt the strongest kinship with Ny out of those assembled. His presence and mannerisms made her long for her family, but he essentially was a Crypt, making the slight homesickness increase. With Elizaveta there, though, they could perform the ceremony and lay Ludwig to rest. 

	[color=9999ff]"Ny, do you know what faith Ludwig kept?"[/color] she then asked, a more practical question. Ludwig deserved the rites of whatever gods he followed, or at least, as close to those rites as they could obtain.

[b][color=ff6600]Skills[/color][/b]: Deception [/center][hr]	Maeve nodded at Colette, figuring that this question was going to come up. [color=ff6600]"I wus in need av work, so I applied ter 'elp Lady Kirkpatrick wi' runnin' de House an' al'. I wus lucky enough ter be picked."[/color] She shrugged her shoulders slightly, as there wasn't really all that much to that story. Of course it was a lie, but she was skilled with deception and was able to pass off a basic lie as being genuine. The trouble would have come with an exceedingly elaborate one. But there was no reason to go all out here - it was a simple question and thus warranted a simple answer. The haze had not left her vision, something worrying but there wasn't much she could do about it. 

	The carriage started to slow and she glanced outside, seeing what looked like the wreck of someone else's carriage. Had the wreck been caused by the poor eyesight they were all experiencing at the moment? She had no idea, and had she not been essentially charged with escorting Colette (and monitoring her), she would have left the carriage to assist. As it were, though, her job was to remain inside of the carriage for now. Their progress was definitely slowed down for the moment, so she decided to ask Colette some questions in exchange. [color=ff6600]"If yer don't mind me askin' - 'ow wus yer journey gettin' 'ere?"[/color] She had to wonder if it had been simple and straight forward for the daughter of a peer to travel with potentially one chaperone? It really hadn't been clear.
