Random influxes of strangers in April and July... we should expect that again in early October, I believe.  The weekend of curses also appears to change its timing along with the season.  Can we expect the third weekend to be cursed during the autumn months?  Perhaps a tangible pattern would be asking too much of the deities.

I've had a fair amount

Or perhaps the higher the organization, the more there is to hide. While the Vatican's aims can be morally ambiguous, you certainly don't sound as if you're doing anything that might be considered unscrupulous. Preventing senseless death--there's nothing wrong with that!

Oh, good. Perhaps the Sidhe can be weakened and captured? I don't understand the connection between the creature and the girl it possessed, admittedly...

There are ways to ward off anything, although some are more effective than others. The effectiveness of any ward varies greatly with the vampire's age and power; Dracula, for example, was resistant to all of the traditional vampire deterrents. The Order preferred capture and containment to elimination, but that's more difficult than it sounds. Well... and some of the Vatican's hunters have no self-control whatsoever and can't conceive of doing anything other than killing. It's a mess.

Really? You don't need to say that to be polite, you know; you wouldn't be the first--or the last, I might assume--to ask me to be quiet.

What an interesting name! Do you go by "The Sorrow," or simply "Sorrow"?

It appears that it is a fundamental part of her -- so while I can evict foreign spirits from a person or banish a ghost from the mortal realm, I can't -- well, I'm not sure, but I won't -- separate a soul from its rightful body. Instead, I will try to suppress the Sidhe, and the others and I will cajole Eden's other side back into the dominant position.

Hmm. Perhaps, then, I'll simply take one or two of the traditional deterrents along, and hope they work.

My specialty is knowledge, both in wartime and peacetime. I have a weakness for information, you might say, and intelligent conversation. It is something my talents have given to me.

You may say either. There are times when "the" tends to get in the way -- I have been called both. Technically, though, my name includes it.

You can perform exorcisms, then? That's a convenient skill to have! I'll readily admit that my single attempt at an exorcism didn't go to plan, precisely; hopefully you might be able to put this talent to use. Possession happens every now and then here.

That's rather unique--a human and a supernatural creature intimately connected in that way. If you would like, I can compile a list of the folkloric wards against the Sidhe; the creature may be easier to suppress if exposed to objects that weaken it's power, making contact with the girl a less grueling process. Of course, that may not work. It may well be worth a try.

I have a number of crosses and the like. Should you find yourself in need of a ward, I'd be more than happy to provide you with one.

Knowledge is, perhaps, the single most important thing to possess. That'a admirable, truly, although I've been known to hold entire conversations without saying a single intelligent thing.
