I wonder if she's even still here...I hope she hasn't gone back home...

[Timcanpy then chomps down on his ear]

Ow! Geez, Tim. ...Wait...was that selfish of me to think of? I guess...it could be that way. But...she's better off here.

Oh, hello.

You seem to be lost in thought. Is there something on your mind, young man?

[[ooc: This is female!Earl in human form]]

[gray_reflection]

[gets a strange vibe from her, but brushes it off for now]

I'm thinking about my friends mostly, ma'am.

[countess_hearts]

I see. It's such a trial being in this place, isn't it? Being separated from loved ones always brings on heavy thoughts.

Or perhaps your friends here are in trouble? Well, I'm sure everything will improve.

[gray_reflection]

I trust my friends here to take care of themselves.

[countess_hearts]

Well, that's nice. It seems all to often that terrible things happen, all without warning...One could easily feel quite distressed by it all, and be caught up in needless worry.

What's your name, young man?

[gray_reflection]

Ah? I'm Allen. I don't think we've met before, miss...?

[countess_hearts]

[thinks for a moment] Oh, you may call me Augusta.

I take it that you must have been stuck here for quite some time.

[gray_reflection]

Miss Augusta. [a polite bow] It's very nice to meet you. [even if you do give off a weird vibe]

I've been here for a while. Have you?

[countess_hearts]

How nice it is to meet you, too. [smiles - and it really doesn't look creepy at all]

I've been here a number of months. I believe I've become quite used to this 'Dressing Room' and its little surprises.

[gray_reflection]

Oh, lots of things still manage to surprise me.

[countess_hearts]

I'm sure they do.

Pardon me, but I believe you are one of those 'Exorcists' who are so commonly found in this place. What sort of life is that for you?

[gray_reflection]

...What makes you think that?

[after all, his coat is just plain black today]

[countess_hearts]

I've seen other young men and women who look like you wearing those unusual 'Exorcist' coats...and assumed you must be one of them. But perhaps that was a hasty assumption.

Then, what do you do for a living, Allen?

[gray_reflection]

I used to be in the circus.

[countess_hearts]

How fascinating. There are so many interesting jobs in circuses. I have had the luxury of seeing many circuses in my years, but rarely have I had a chance to see behind the scenes.

[gray_reflection]

It's still a lot of fun even when you know the secrets of a show. I learned to juggle and do...other clown things.
