"Please allow me to guide you to the mansion..."

Shannon turned her back to the family and led the way up to the mansion while hiding her saddened face. He did not come again this year either... She clung onto the hope that he would, but just as her hopes were dashed again, there was news. Kyrie had talked to him and the bad taste between father and son were changing ever so slightly to the best.

The girl was relieved. Surely there will come a day when he will come back to the island. He promised her that he would. It was then she decided that her resolve won't waver anymore even if for these past three years she had felt saddened and resentful, but... it was something she needed.

It must have been a sign from God that he must be rooting for her.

She closed her eyes and prayed in her heart for God to give her a gift to show that her three years of waiting was not in vain. Though as she wished this, her seemingly predetermined fate was altered and given a new path--one that did not lead toward the tragedy of 1986.

The maid opened her eyes her prayer, but found herself not in the correct position. She was sprawled out in the ground instead of standing like a few moments ago. It was then she sat up and glanced around in confused state.

Where was the mansion? The beach? The sound of the seagulls had gone deaf to her ears.

By her right arm was a small device. It was something she had never laid eyes upon. She decided to inspect it even if it was dangerous. Perhaps it was a way to return back to Rokkenjima or at least shed some light on these new circumstances.

[ VIDEO ]

[ The video feed slowly starts up as the girl brushes the dirt off her uniform. It was better than sitting around and she had a better view from where she sat. Being satisfied with her cleaning, she turned towards her new discovery. She leaned towards the lens as if trying to spot something that would help her grasp the device's function. ]

...Huh? W-What is... Is it blinking? ...A red light?

[ A confused face etched upon her face as she tried to distinguish this blinking red light. Though, shortly it dawned upon her as she inched away ever so slightly with a reddened, embarrassed face. ]

...T-This couldn't be a camera like those on the television could it? ... Auu...

Does this mean what I'm saying right now is being recorded?...

A-Ah! Um... What do I do?

Observe...? S...So you observe our daily activities?

[ Shannon was still thinking she was a high being, but she felt a chill down her spine thinking that someone was watching them from the shadows. Of course, she may have been the famous 'Beatrice-sama' that Kumasawa had talked about before. Though... 'Beatrice' had helped her in her dreams while waiting for Battler... Oh she was so confused. ]

...B-Beatrice-sama?

No. The ghost of Rokkenjima wouldn't last long in a place like this, right...?

[ aah, it's probably time to abandon this farce. ]

Call me Bernkastel.

...Um... well I have heard that Beatrice-sama is quite the prankster...--Oh my apologies, um Bernkastel-san. [ That name sounded familiar, but she couldn't recall where she had heard it from. ]

She is, but that's to be expected of a kid like her. It's nice to finally talk to you, Shannon.

Oh-? Well um you sound like you know her personally... C-could you tell me more if you can...? Mm... It's nice to meet you as well, Bernkastel-san.

What do you want to know...?

...A-Anything really. If you want to that is...

...

Those pranks... that's about all she can do. [ a small giggle. ] Even if she seems mysterious, there's no need to revere her.

Really?... I heard she did even more and even made a fellow servant fall down the stairs...

cruelest: (but what about you?)
From: [personal profile] cruelest
That could be just a prank too, right...? At least, she's the kind of person to see it as such. Someone being injured or dying... would that really matter to a ghost?

Um... You have a point... I'm not really sure... but I'd still would like to meet Beatrice-sama...

Perhaps you'll get the chance to, one day. If she ever arrives here, I'll personally introduce you to her.

[ though "being friendly" isn't her motive for saying that at all. ]

A-Ah... um... R-Really? You'd introduce me to her?...

[ yes, but Shannon doesn't know that /sob ]

cruelest: (and get what you deserve)
From: [personal profile] cruelest
Sure. She might even be pleased to meet you. Though, like I said, she's a kid. You can't really tell with someone that fickle.

R-Really even someone like me... Wow... I'll still be honored to meet her though.

voice.

cruelest: (step right up)
From: [personal profile] cruelest
[ pause. ]

Aside from those stories... what else have you heard about Beatrice?

voice.

Date: 2011-08-29 06:54 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] abandonedoath.livejournal.com
Mm... Well um... that's really what I know. She's Rokkenjima's second master, she plays tricks on the servants, and she won't do anything to you if you respect her. Why? I-Is there something else I should know about her?...

voice.

Date: 2011-08-29 08:29 pm (UTC)
cruelest: (je suis en coeur)
From: [personal profile] cruelest
... No. There isn't.

[ she hadn't expected Shannon to know more, actually. But, it never hurts to double-check. ]

I wouldn't want to besmirch her name before you have a chance to get to know her yourself. [ giggle, giggle. ] That would be unfair.

Ah is that so...

O-Oh, that would be rude to her. I wouldn't want to do that to her...
