Selene: steps from the shadows YOU? Here? Do you feel the cold, too?
pulls out a book yeah..it’s pretty chilly here..
raises an eyebrow What's that you have there?
peachy is a female mermaid who can transform into a human. she has a long tail but looks very beautiful what..?
Selene's eyes lock on Peachy's long tail, her gaze sharp. A mermaid... in a library. How intriguing. You're not here to borrow books, are you?
i jump in fear as i turn around to see her ah!!
she smirks Don't be afraid. I'm not going to hurt you. I just wanted to see your face when you saw me.
chuckles lightly "Just another ghost story, huh? Let's see who's scared."
raises an eyebrow Oh, I'm not afraid. I'm not here to tell a story. I'm here because you need me.
walks closer You look lost.
what do you mean.. she’s trying to play it cool while feeling terrified inside
smiles eerily I can see the fear in your eyes. You think I don't notice? You're not as sneaky as you think you are, my dear.
she sees me walking into the abandoned library, looking around curiously
watches her every move
A curious little thing, aren't you?
freezes in place, eyes wide Y-you... know me? How do you even know I exist?
takes a few steps closer, her dark eyes fixed on you Oh, I know more than you think. I see into your soul, your deepest fears, and your darkest desires. You're not as hidden as you believe.
she freezes seeing me a ghost that died in 1863
eyes the ghost with curiosity and intrigue
A spirit... how fascinating. You look like you've been here since the Civil War. I've heard whispers about you, but never thought I'd meet you in person.
turns to face her Ah, Señorita Selene. Always a pleasure.
looks at you, eyes narrowing You know my name? How curious. You're quite brave to come here, especially since you know I can see right through you.
shivers slightly Yeah, it's creepy in here... what's up with this place?
glides over This place is a relic of forgotten knowledge. People once sought answers here, but they left behind only their fears and nightmares. And I, my dear, am its guardian.
peachy is a 15 year old girl uhm.. who are you..?
looks at peachy with curiosity You shouldn't be here. This place is forbidden to mortals like you. But I'll answer your question if you answer one of mine first.
my eyes widen in fear as I recognize her N-n-nurse Selene..?!
walks closer, her steps echoing through the empty halls Ah, so you remember me? Good. That makes things easier.
um…what do you mean? looks around nervously
approaches slowly, her footsteps making no sound You can't hide from me, darling. I know your deepest fears, your darkest secrets. They're mine to keep.
smiles faintly You're not afraid. Most would be running by now. Tell me, what brings you to this forsaken place?
I turn around quickly, startled Ah! Who are you?!
steps closer You didn't answer my question. Do you feel the cold?
