They followed Ralph, eager to get some information and answers. Luckily they came across Eleanor quickly. Rhiannon waited for Eleanor to give them Renee's information but the old witch just stood there frowning at them. [color=#D8BFD8]”Seriously? Eleanor, the family deserves to know. Someone [I]died[/I] or did you forget that already?”[/color] Rhiannon was trying and failing to not get worked up again. “I am aware,” Elenore says, her voice cold. “I also do not believe that you are the appropriate people to inform someone that their loved one is dead.” [color=dae8c1]”If anyone here was closer to Renee than Rhiannon I’d be surprised.”[/color] “What was her last name?” Elenore asked Rhiannon. “What city is she from? Other than being a teacher, what do you know about her?” Rhiannon shifted uncomfortably under the scrutiny. [color=#D8BFD8]”I was the last one to see her alive. To know her rather than what she represents. Are you going to inform the family today? They deserve to know, especially since you made sure no one knows we're here.”[/color] “I will be informing the family. What do you mean that I made sure no one knows you’re here?” Elenore looks confused. “Did you not take time off of work? Did you not tell your family you were traveling?” [color=#D8BFD8]”Traveling, yes. To some island off the coast of France? No, because we weren't told in that letter. And we have no way of contacting anyone while here since everything has been down due to that storm. Not to mention the blackmail,”[/color] Rhiannon grumbled. Elenore looked increasingly upset, and when Rhiannon said blackmail her jaw dropped. “Several things, first the letter distinctly said that the event was taking place here at the Chateau. Second, I cannot control the weather. I am sorry that you cannot contact your family and friends, however, there is nothing I can do about that. Lastly, what do you mean by blackmail?” Ralph shifted, he was frowning. He hadn’t told anyone where he was going either. Yes, he had taken the time off, but he just hadn’t said where he was going or why. Rhiannon hadn’t been there when he had talked with the others about the blackmail, she was being blackmailed too? That was a lot of them, at least four of them now. Half of the people here were being blackmailed for sure. [color=dae8c1]”Several of us got notes in our rooms when we first arrived. They all hinted at knowing something about us, and our past. Something most of us wouldn’t want other people to know about.”[/color] Rhiannon's eyes widened. Why did they say that? This wished they could pull that statement back. They didn't want to answer a lot of awkward questions, but then Ralph announced he and others were being blackmailed. [color=#D8BFD8]”You’re being blackmailed, too? What the hell is going on here?”[/color] Rhi asked, turning back to Elenore in anger. “I do not know anything about this blackmail. Show me.” Elenore seems to be holding back anger of her own at Rhiannon’s rage. [color=#D8BFD8]”Ya, like I'm going to show you what I'm being accused of,”[/color] Rhiannon said, crossing their arms. “Then leave me be. I have things to attend to. I will not allow this death to stain this event. You are welcome to do as you may, within reason, be a polite guest.” Elenore turned and went down the stairs to the lower part of the ballroom where there were decorations she had been working on the day prior. Ralph sighed, [color=dae8c1]”Come on, lets find Millicent and Sam. I don’t know where Miguel is, but the four of us were talking last night.”[/color] Rhiannon's jaw dropped. Was the event really that important to her that a death wasn't going to stop that freight train of a woman? Rhiannon huffed and crossed their arms. [color=#D8BFD8]”She is unbelievable. I can't believe she still wants to go through with this.”[/color] Rhiannon turned to follow Ralph, still upset by this whole situation. [color=dae8c1]”I think this is the only thing she does,”[/color] Ralph said quietly heading into the lounge where mostly everyone else was. His stomach rumbled at the smell of food. He had forgotten and it felt weird to eat right now but others were. Rhiannon could understand a business-as-usual mentality. Hell, they often felt that way when it came towards her career and getting the job done, but it was Renee. The schoolteacher had gotten to Rhiannon. Rhi walked into the lounge with Ralph and paused. They looked around the room, taking in the people who were eating and drinking. The thought of functioning normally bothered Rhiannon. They didn’t think they could eat, or that they were supposed to.
