It was one thing for people to be stubborn - it was another thing entirely for them to be obstinate in their denials of what she said and [i]then[/i] say that there was no rational explanation, as if no one had clued them into that possibility before. The glowing hands, the haze, and the smell all should have been enough to clue these people into the fact that they were in the realm of the paranormal. They were lucky they weren't in a direct encounter with the Destruere at the moment or they all would have been killed before they could finish one of their ridiculous long winded sentences. The only one she really liked here was the blonde woman. [color=#9370DB]"As I said, Belladonna is a witch. She can take care of herself,"[/color] she answered Richard. 

	The Lord Major leaned in and spoke quietly to her. It was the last straw. Her eye twitched slightly. She briefly considered using her more extreme ability on him, just to make a point, but she had better self control than that. There was a pull for her to continue forward and she could hear familiar voices - one of them threw her mind for a loop. The others she wasn't really surprised to hear. Her patience with these people had already started to rapidly wear out and in the height of maturity, Gene collected a large pool of saliva in her mouth. [color=#9370DB]"I am [i]not[/i] some common addict."[/color]

	Nora meanwhile had been staying out of this petty drama largely. Her goal was to find Belladonna and she continued in her navigation. The walls appeared to have some places of stone carved out, in order to contain liquid. She paused for a moment, instinctively squinting her eyes as things began to flicker and change. A moment later, there was a flame at the end of the passageway. It was coming closer and closer, and she then realized that the liquid was actually oil - how long had the oil been there for? And who could have set the flame alight? She hoped that it was Belladonna, as she really did not want to run into any other strangers down here in these unknown tunnels. 

	[color=00ccff]"Belladonna?"[/color] Nora called out, wondering if it was the missing member of their group that had set fire to the oil. Perhaps she had had some matches or a lighter with her and had realized the liquid was oil, using the light to guide her back to the surface? [color=00ccff]"Are you there?"[/color] she then asked, her voice louder than it usually was. Nora was a quiet and reserved person by nature, but whispering Belladonna's name wasn't going to help in this scenario. She should be somewhere near - she was certain of it. And with what Gene had said... perhaps there was reason to believe that she was alive. The flame was the strongest indication in her mind.
