[Angelina wonders around the city, deep in her thoughts about the castle, she discovered just days ago when mystically appearing in this place, falling down from the sky yeah, that didn't sound weird at all, this place in general and what could be happening back home in London. Suddenly her trail of thought vanishes, as she bumps into a girl.]

Oh! Pardon me, miss. Are you alright?

[She blinks in surprise for a moment, as though waking from a dream.]

2/3

[likemeintheend]

[Then ...]

Yes, thank you for asking.

3/3

[and then ...]

Oh my, was I sleeping? Was I?

[rouge_blood]

I... I don't think so. [Is a bit surprised by this question.] I haven't heard of anyone being able to sleep while standing.

[likemeintheend]

I thought perhaps I had sleep-walked into you.

[rouge_blood]

No, no, it was completely my fault - I was too deep in thought. It's never healthy to walk around like that, something bad is surely to happen.

[Said almost as though she didn't hear what the other woman said ... but not quite.]

I was simply looking there.

[She turns her head back to the castle.]

[rouge_blood]

[Looks at the same direction the girl and becomes almost speechless, as if seeing the castle like this for the first time. This is a good angle to observe all the destruction, she must admit.]

Yes, there certainly is something to see... Sights like this are quite fascinating.

[Again that word. And Madame again is ready to admit that there are better ways to cause destruction.]

I wonder, what happened...

[likemeintheend]

It must have been its time. Everything crumbles. Even the pyramids were once pristine. Did you know that they were smooth and pure white in their time?

[rouge_blood]

Yes, I've read that somewhere... history can be mesmerizing, too.

[Especially medical history, but better not to mention this now.]

Maybe it was its time. Or maybe it wasn't...

[Not really suggestive, just wondering, thinking through all options.]

[likemeintheend]

Well then, I wonder why else it would have crumbled.

[She smiles.]

[rouge_blood]

I wonder the same thing... [Musing.]

[likemeintheend]

[Suddenly ...]

Oh, my!
