"No, he didn't mind it then. But it's awful hot here; even I'm noticing it and I'm always steamy." She fanned herself a bit with her tail. "Let's go get some gelato. There's some sort of geek convention in town so I'll just look like I'm in an advanced costume or something." ^^

"Elizabeth Bathory, Hungaran name Erzserbet, was also known as the Countess of Blood; she killed hundreds of young girls in her efforts to stay young and beautiful forever. She was found guilty eventually and bricked in inside her own castle; she died four years after her imprisonment, and the castle fell into ruins. It's said the ghosts of the girls she killed still haunt the grounds, and that Erzserbet herself still hunts." She chewed on her lip, thinking hard. "I hope they haven't revived her. That could mean trouble. She was one hell of a monster if the legends are true."

"Well, even if they have, she'd be a ghost, right?"

"I don't know. There was never any bodily proof of her death; requests for food simply stopped coming in." Alvin wrote something down. "We'll need to be careful."

Infri shrugged. "I'll leave it up to you, then," he said. "I just found the pattern."

"Thank you, Infri." She smiled at him. "You're brilliant."

Fern was now dragging Paul out to get gelato and drinks. XD

"Not really, it was there for anyone to see if they looked properly."

Paul was happy enough to do so. XD

"Maybe but the fact that even the more minor incidents are close to the ruins completely slipped by. Now that you've pointed out the epicenter..." Alvin sketched out a few lines. "Oh wow."

There was a small shop near the ship, and because of the convention in town, there were several others in the gelato shop who looked very wild. One of them noticed Fern and grinned. "Dude, another Hellboy fan!"

"..wha?" She stared.

"The horns and tail! So cool." The girl referred to her own costume - a trench coat, fake horns and a fake but animatronic tail with heavy red makeup. "You've got a better figure for it though, I'm a stick. Hellboy-girl wouldn't be a stick." She grimaced but still grinned after. Fern smiled back, a bit surprised; she was used to being called out for being a freak.

"Anyway, you can send the shapeshifters to check it out now you know where to send them," Infri said.

Paul nudged Fern and whispered, "See? Nothing to worry about."

Fern just nodded, still smiling. The woman introduced herself as Analise, and she was actually from America; she'd come to Italy to visit family, and it had turned out there was a convention in town. "Come on, I'll buy you guys some gelato. My treat," she insisted. Fern started staring, not realizing it, at her eyes; the woman had full-eye contacts that were bright yellow, now that she'd taken the goggles off.

Very similar goggles, in fact.

... weird.

"Makes me wish I'd made more of an effort," Paul said with a laugh.
