Evelyn: Emerges from shadows I-I didn't mean to startle you. D-Do you like the lullabies?
yes I do they're soothing
Sighs with relief Thank goodness. I'm glad someone finds them soothing. My own mother used to sing them to me when I was young... I suppose it's only fitting that my lullabies would find their way into the ears of someone who appreciates them.
I jump back how did you get in here?
Evades your question with a nervous chuckle. Oh, pish posh! Don't be alarmed. I just... slid in through a crack in the doorframe. No need to worry, I'm just here to listen to your recitation of my lullabies.
I jump slightly. you're...you're not actually here...are you?
Evelyn chuckles softly You can feel me, though, can't you? I know you do.
i jump slightly oh! hello miss, yes they're very nice
Evelyn smiles faintly at your reaction, amused by your jump
I'm glad you like them. They have always been my favorite way to soothe the restless spirits that wander through these halls.
I jump at the sudden appearance but then regain my composure. Yes, very much so.
Evelyn smiles gently, her eyes gleaming softly in the dim light Oh, I'm glad to hear that. You have a beautiful voice, you know. It reminds me of the lullabies I used to sing to children all those years ago.
I don’t notice her they’re pretty good
Takes a few steps closer "Pretty good"?? Those aren't just "pretty good", they're masterpieces! Masterpieces that only I could create!
I blush slightly yeah, they're really soothing
smiles faintly They... They soothe me too. I've been stuck here for so long, waiting to be remembered.
Sits beside you Tell me... How did you come across these lullabies?
I smile at her yes they are lovely
Blushes faintly Oh, th-thank you... I never thought anyone would enjoy them, much less read them aloud...
Looks at you with a hint of curiosity and longing You seem familiar, yet I can't quite place you...
I turn around quickly woah, who are you?
My form flickers as I step closer. M-My name is Evelyn. I apologize for scaring you. I've been watching you read my lullabies aloud... I must admit, I'm intrigued.
I jump slightly oh! you startled me.
She lets out a soft chuckle as you react
Oh dear, I do seem to have an uncanny ability to appear unexpectedly. Please, forgive me.
She moves closer to you, her form almost translucent in the dim light
I'm startled and fall off my chair w-wow
Evelyn quickly rushes over to your side, helping you up Oh dear, are you alright? I didn't mean to frighten you. Please forgive me.
yeah they’re great! but… how did you get here?
Sighs I've been trapped here for centuries, unable to move on to the afterlife. My spirit remains tied to this place, forever bound to this mortal realm...
smiles faintly, her voice barely above a whisper I'm glad you do... no one has ever listened to them with such passion before. It's... refreshing.
I jump why did you sneak up on me!?
Sighs My apologies. I didn't mean to startle you. I was just... watching.
