What superstitions do you hold?

Is there aught in this place that reminds you of them?

Please excuse my curiosity, but it may be of some import.

I was given advice on where Lady Cornelia might be found. This discovery might lead to other missing individuals as well, but first I require

I heard something in the inn once, some voice telling me I should go to bed because I was up late or something. It was pretty creepy.

There's the mansion too, there was something there calling itself 'sifty sifty san' or something like that.

What's up Mr, what do you know?

Did you determine that it was not some other denizen playing a trick on you? [ It didn't exactly sound like the sort of thing that would bother Cornelia, after all; but a curious story all the same. ]

At this time, I know... very little. [ And he sounds none too happy about this. ] Could you tell me more about the mansion, and that creature or spirit you mentioned?

I was alone, so it wasn't a citizen. I'll tell you about the mansion, but seriously Mr, with the amount of things going on around here, you're just going to go around in circles unless you tell us what little you do know.

Anyway, that stupid guy went into the mansion, and the 'Sifty sifty' thing chased him out. Me and Nel had to help him get rid of it...

What "stup-- [ Sigh. ] Who went into the mansion, and how was he retrieved?

[ And the young man had a point. ] I spoke to one of the merchants, a few days ago. She appeared as a fortune teller, and gave me some... insight as to where I might find Lady Cornelia. Though her tale was vague and hard to grasp, I have no other leads to go by.

She mentioned that Cornelia crossed into the realm of some ghost or another, but could not see further -- or so she claimed to.

Lloyd Asplund, and he got out because he ran for it and er... [He can't tell you how he saved him, because he'd have to betray his big secret] I can't really remember what happened.

Cornelia is that tough lady ain't she? If she's in a ghost world, maybe you should go ask a ghost about it?

[ Now that surprises him. Lloyd is far from "stupid"... but he is out of his element.

Guilford makes an affirmative noise. ] I shall have to obtain more details from Lloyd, then. Thank you.

[ There's a pause. ] How do you propose I accomplish such a task?

Go to the grave yard? Or crypts?

I wouldn't advise it, but I know you're a determined guy.

[ He speaks the truth; but Guilford is smart, too. ] Worry not, I would not go blindly on a fool's errand such as that. My experience in dealing with such manner of beings is... limited. [ Understatement of the year. ]

Yeah... Nothing gives me the creeps more than things that are supposed to be dead.

Hey, you might ask Thereth though? She kind of knows a lot about death and stuff I think...

[as_you_command]

[ Like Lelouch? Guilford makes a sound in dry amusement. ] Indeed.

Thereth? I... cannot say that I've spoken with her before, directly. [ Dealing with elves and the like was one thing. Giant cow lady? Liiiittle uncomfortable. ]

She's a really great lady, and she could probably help you.

If you're scared of course, I could ask her for you?

[ Bristling a bit. ] It is not a matter of fear. [ Only it is. ]

[ He pauses, taking a deep breath. ] ...but that would be appreciated.
