5th Speculation: Information sought

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

So, from what I understand, Lavi and Sasuke are likely the best sources, but if anyone has any info, that would be helpful. I know there are places here rumored to be haunted, and then thare are places that are haunted. Does anyone know why? It's most likely related to why this place is the way it is anyways, but...I was wondering about more specific information.

See if there's anything that might be helpful in figuring out what happened.

Does it matter what happened here?

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

It might.

[pencilpremonition]

How so?

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

We might be able to find a way to dispel some of the fear and misunderstanding in Credinta...we might find a way to predict how Libitina came here, we might just find a way to protect ourselves better...

[Shrug.]

We might find nothing, ultimately...but learning the history and separating fact from fiction, as well as trying to explore the metaphysical here, shouldn't be a bad thing, as long as it's done carefully.

[pencilpremonition]

Metaphysical?

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

Magical, mystical...occult?

[pencilpremonition]

Things like ghosts....and seeing the future?

"Are" haunted? How could anyone know that?

[Honest question. From a scientific perspective, he doesn't buy the "human intuition" explanation.]

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

I can tell. I can sense the presences, versus something just being really creepy.

[and-above-all.livejournal.com]

Ah-

[He's about to ask, "seriously?!", but then bites his lip. Right, she's definitely telling the truth. Raven's...]

Haven't you gone to those places yet? If you'd be able to tell for sure, then...

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

I'm not about to go poking a potential hornet's nest alone, thanks... Not to mention this isn't the easiest place to live in, and I need to eat, and sleep, and try to stay clean, like everyone else here, thanks.

[Sarcasm. It's what's for dinner.]

[and-above-all.livejournal.com]

[He's exceedingly bad at reading other people, and wonders if he hasn't just asked a very stupid question. A bit of an embarrassed blush reddens his cheeks as he tries to recover his pride.]

R-Right. ...But it'd help finding out what happened to Nesreca, yeah? That's important. And you wouldn't have to go alone...

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

[Aww, that's kind of sweet really....maybe.]

Are you offering to come with me then? I need someone to be level headed, not afraid, as we're going places that are definitely creepy.

[hebi]

You're in a city that fell to misfortune. There doesn't need to be much of a reason why.

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

I respectfully disagree. Figuring out what that misfortune was might be able to help us figure out more with our current situation. Such as why those in Credinta hate us and fear this place, or more about Libitina. Unless you have a specific reason you think it wouldn't?

[hebi]

It was genocide. [So deadpan.]

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

[Deadpan doesn't bother her, she's pretty deadpan herself.]

Right, and therefore there is NO value in learning anything else. Sure.

[Have some deadpan back.]

Do you actually care then, whether I explore or not?

[hebi]

We know what happened to the city. We don't know why they're hanging on.

You want to explore? Be my guest. I don't care if you do or don't. The affairs of others here aren't my business.

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

And there might be value in figuring out why they're hanging on. Since you've been here a while, I thought you might have helpful information.

[outsidehistory]

Like Sasuke said, it was a genocide. But aside from that we're not really sure what happened to make things haunted here. The ones that become haunted are the fault of Libitina and/or her master. But why they're trapped here themselves or other places are haunted without their meddling is unknown.

We've been trying to get information but most of it's been destroyed or isn't available to us.

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm going to try and see what I can find out then, even without the normal information. Knowing why places are haunted, with or without Libitina's influence, might give us useful clues on their abilities.

[After all, she has gifts that might help, and be able to pick up things others can't. It's worth trying.]

[outsidehistory]

Just don't forget to give one of us a call if you need help, yeah?

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

So far, it seems like you, Okumura-san, Naruto, or Doc are the only ones who care.

I try to not be stupid about things though, so yeah.

[outsidehistory]

The others are probably just tired of losing people, it gets hard after a while.

Thanks.

[azrthmtrnznthos.livejournal.com]

I somehow doubt that's it, in some of it.

[No, she'd understand how difficult it is. Her life hasn't been the easiest before coming to Nesreca either.]
