Colin G- "Then what good are you?!"
He definitely got the feeling that conversation wasn't coming back.

There was no response, which sadly made the mass of ectoplasm around him all the more easy to see again. Wounds, bone, blood, nudity, faces with rolling eyes. Like an orgy where someone had released nerve gas and dropped the dying into a giant blender.

His eyes fogged over, the milk receded, and the brightest light in the dismal world was from the human kneeling above him.
Alain- "mmmmmmmm"
Alain- "Ah hello. You fell down."

Alain- "It's my understanding most ghosts are shallow reflections. Could be that the answer you seek cannot be found on the other side at all."
Alain- "What is it, precisely, that you hope to discover? Does no one know who destroyed this building? Is that important for some reason? Or is it more the closure you once mentioned?"

Alain- "Not much strange about being killed and having your home burned around you, unfortunately..."
Alain- "Ah. The upstart taking someone more powerful. Your question then is what sort of treachery he employed. A vision... That does seem like a trace of magic.
Why an iron maiden? What do you know about your late mistress? Her life and times, this sort of thing."

Alain- "At some point in her past, she was put into an iron maiden - during the Holy Ages, a witch trial... Was there another significance to that moment for her? Hm... He appeared in the vision as if he was there at the event, when he originally was not? Quite a mystery."

Alain- "Perfect. Yes! It was a vision of her human death. Perhap because she reached a vampire death. Do you know of any other vampires turned who survived the death of their, progenitor you say? Did they have this vision?"

Alain- "Mm, stay with me now. The children of Marchese. These are the ones to ask. Although, perhaps you do not need to ask them at all..."
Alain- "What I am wondering is if this is normal. After all, it can't be often that it comes up, so it could seem unusual from your point of view. But if it happens whenever a progenitor is out- lived by their turned vampire, then any more knowledgeable vampire would know this.
My thought is that his method of murder interposed himself into whatever mental connection she had to those she turned. A magic that attacked her mind, perhap."

Alain- "We'll find out, together..."
...And so it went. Soon they were off to the next indicated thing... ...ellipsis...ellipsis...ellipsis...

Alain gathered up all his materials, obliterated his magic works, and started out of the grounds with Eli.
Alain- "It's night. We shouldn't hang out at night much, just in case we're seen by vampires, right?"
That's all well and good, but as they got out to the street, Eli was pretty sure a human was spying on them from a parked car.

He shot it the skimpiest of glances.
Alain- "Should we, play it cool, as it were? Not return to my rental, I think..."
He went to the street, but was unsure which way to go.

Alain- "So what do you think? Police hoping the arsonist will return to the scene, or something else? It may help decide your course of action."
He set out the opposite direction of his car, walking with Eli, speaking softly.

Alain- "An agent of your masters then? Will you kill them? What if they have already relayed information to someone else, and that makes matters worse? Interesting dilemma you may have."
Eli could tell car boy was interested. He turned his engine on, but didn't pull onto the street right away.

Alain- "Maybe just think of an excuse to tell this Demetri and we part ways?"

Alain- "I've got my means. If you could be showy or distracting in some way, it will make it easier."
