If that was the case, her father would not have implored Virginia to go seek life elsewhere - the Crypt family was odd and certainly some of them were mad, but her father had not yet qualified for a stay at a psychiatric facility. No, that was her mother's area of expertise, the abnormalities of the mind. She felt in her soul that her father had instructed her to come here to find something - perhaps him, perhaps someone else. Of course, the thought of trying to leave this strange and wonderful place as soon as they arrived was abhorrent to her. When else would they get an opportunity for an adventure such as this? [color=9999ff]"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Fraser,"[/color] Virginia greeted. She was odd yet not impolite. And had the Great Bazhooli not just introduced her, she would have done her own introduction. Her mind was occupied with a deductive investigation of their surroundings. She drifted over to the walls of the decrepit church and gently ran her hands across the stone, feeling the etching of the Belladonna symbol. The Crypt smiled to herself. As divine as the unknown was, her heart fluttered when pieces of a puzzle began to fall into place. She was about to announce her find to her companions when suddenly, she was spirited away. [center][i][color=9999ff]~Snapping~[/color][/i][/center] Virginia blinked rapidly as she tried to become accustomed to her newfound surroundings. There were four others present, only one of whom she recognized. The girl with a shock of white hair, while dressed strangely, looked like a long lost Crypt cousin. But the one soul who she knew caused her breath to stop for a moment as she quickly realized that something extraordinary had happened. Ludwig, the brilliant man she had met at the Circus, was here in front of her. [color=9999ff]"Oh, sweet Ludwig... Deprived as you are of the mortal coil, I am so glad to see you,"[/color] she told him sweetly. She spotted the tiger by his side - was that not the Grand Duchess' companion? [color=9999ff]"I am afraid I am not dead - or perhaps only partially dead..."[/color] she mused. Her heart was still beating and she drew breath - what did the dead need of air or blood? [color=9999ff]"You must tell me of these Whisglemangers - they sound absolutely divine."[/color] She then turned her attention to the others present here - they seemed to know each other. [color=9999ff]"I am Lady Virginia Crypt - it is delightful to meet you all,"[/color] she said, giving a brief introduction of herself. [hr][b][i][color=99ccff]PE Fade Between -> Plains between River & Cave:[/color][/i][/b] Andromeda's mind just couldn't let it go. The world was imploding around them (or had been? It was rather confusing to keep up with) and they had met someone who could be the future Eve. She didn't care if that Eve was from thousands of years into the future or just a few weeks, wasn't the knowledge of how the Dice had become Justice relevant to their current situation? Their entire existence was a paradox, a demonstration in how the linear progression of time did not matter. She didn't see why Gio and Gil could just move on and write Justice off as the future's problem, when from what Andromeda could understand, their problems defied time - problems of the future were the problems of the present and the problems of the past were the problems of the future. Maybe it was the distracting landscape or her mind's stubborn inability to refuse to stop thinking about the Dice being Justice, but Andromeda wasn't able to figure out much of anything. Their surroundings were objectively horrible to look at and she couldn't even put together another question or another thought before suddenly, her entire world shifted again and she was somewhere else entirely. [center][i][color=99ccff]~Snapping~[/color][/i][/center] Andromeda was instantly confronted by a man asking her if she rode on Gilbert's back. Her eyes narrowed instantly, assuming that he meant some sort of sexual innuendo by it. However, the more the man talked, the clearer it became that he was just [i]mad[/i]. He had a tiger with him and Andromeda had to wonder if the man was supposed to be taking care of the giant cat or if it was the other way around. [color=99ccff]"Of course you're not mad,"[/color] Andromeda agreed with him, finding it better to just let the insane stay in their only little world rather than try to snap them out of it. [color=99ccff]"You do seem really happy, too."[/color] And then, he seemed to be distracted by an extremely pale woman who looked like the specter of a Victorian era woman who would haunt the halls of an old and infamous manor. She heard Gilbert's soft commentary that Nancy was nearby and Andromeda wasn't certain whether to be relieved or not. The chaotic Emendator was certainly a welcome addition, but with all of the Emendators (minus Evelina) here... It only brought more credence to the idea that this was the end of the world - maybe even the end of all worlds. Faith was here - that was confusing to say the least. [color=99ccff]"Faith... is Eve here?"[/color] she asked, only for the Victorian ghost woman to introduce herself. The last name caught her attention. Back when she first became a Paradox, she had been told she could pass for a Crypt. [color=99ccff]"Erm, I'm Andromeda... Aldrich,"[/color] she said, glancing at the woman and the madman.[hr][b][i][color=#9370DB]DTTS Fade Between -> DTB Fade Between:[/color][/i][/b] Nancy's hands rapidly numbed as the Baron taunted Josephine, but his eyes had flickered over towards her. She couldn't help but wonder if he knew about how she had come to consciousness - the violent and horrific circumstances that had scarred her mentally and physically. Her innate abilities were telling her that the Baron was something akin to an Emendator, but incredibly different as well. Just using her senses to determine what he was stung and burned. And with her discomfort spiking, her enjoyment of conversing with someone like her was rapidly waning. If he did one more thing to the poor girl in his grip... She didn't actually know what she would do. [center][i][color=#9370DB]~Snapping~[/color][/i][/center] Nancy found herself standing in a drastically different scenery - there was no Baron here, but there was a Paradox she recognized and some rather sharp cliffs. As much as she had been severely annoyed with the Paradoxes and had been quite happy to go off to Egypt, seeing a friendly female face at the moment was a blessing. Nancy slowly closed and opened her fists, trying to slowly work feeling back into her hands. [color=#9370DB]"Sophia - good,"[/color] she said with a smile. [color=#9370DB]"They're going to have questions, do your best to fend them off, I'm going to do a quick reading, maybe we'll get lucky and we can figure something out, yeah?"[/color] Maybe the Cards would work down here - maybe they wouldn't. She wouldn't know until she tried and so Nancy sat down cross legged and pulled out her well loved pack of tarot cards.
