Family and Faith

[Cynthia Weiss]

Cynthia tilted her head slightly as she listened to the giant while he made his preparations. "Spirits? You mean ghosts?" She asked. "But yeah. They really are." The dead had been called spirits before and prying knowledge out of them was not exactly unknown to her. There was the sneaking suspicious he was talking about something else.

She did laugh at the story though. "Surprised she knew what Francs were." she quipped.

The goth leaned back and watched the rite take place. It did not look particularly special until the blood started to bubble. That caught her off guard. "Well. Ok then." Cynthia muttered upon the rituals conclusion. "Well, I think the backyard in the above ground haven should work fine for that." Cynthia said as she got up from her seat. "Plenty of soil. And few eyes to spot us."

[Cynthia Weiss]

"Sounds like old Ghosts to me. Some elders too now that I think about it." Cynthia noted dryly. "Still. Sounds interesting. There some way of contacting them?" She asked.

She nodded to Krieg as she lead him through the tunnels and the heavy steel door that lead to the Abandoned house that masked the Kingdoms entrance. It took bashing the back door with her shoulder, but she was able to pry it open on the second attempt. Unlike the front which had some attempt to make it not look too run down, the backyard was heavily overgrown with a variety of grass and weeds that seemed to have never felt the touch of a lawnmowers blade. Any plant life in the nearby garden had either shrivelled up and died out long ago from a lack of attention or have been overtaken by weeds. There were a few barren patches of dirt and soil scattered across the area.

"Not the sort of place thats going to be featured in gardening magazines anytime soon." Cynthia said with a shrug as she moved out of the way for the giant. "Should be a spot you can use at least. You did say it was gonna vanish come sunrise." After what had happened below she was curious as to what would happen.

"Ah yes. The wonders of neglected and dilapidated housing." Cynthia announced with a smirk as she followed the Giant outside.

Throughout the rest of the Giants rite, the goth peaked over his shoulder. Some part of her was still expecting additional spectacle or some revelation that this was some sort of elaborate parlour trick, but did her best to remind herself this was a prayer of sorts. It just had more steps and at least involved the strange blood born sorcery of the Circle.

She nodded as he rose. "First time I've actually seen something like that in action." She said, looking at the buried bowl. Even Alice had been reluctant to tell her much about such things. "Anything happens after it vanishes?" The goth asked while gesturing to the offering.

[Cynthia Weiss]

Cynthia nodded. She was not quite sure what that meant or what it really achieved, but other than desiring a fresh neck to chew on the price was minor.

She ushered the giant back inside. Even alone in an abandoned plot of land it felt a bit dangerous to talk about such things. Who knew who could be listening? "I've been meaning to ask." She said as she pulled the door close. A task that seemed easier to do than force it open. "Whats with your name? Something from life? Picked it because it sounded cool?"

[Cynthia Weiss]

Cynthia raised an eyebrow at the giant. "Zu Krieg führen? Ich würde eher nicht." She said with a chuckle as she lead him back down into the winding tunnels that made up the Kingdom.

The goth lead Krieg back into the Caldarium. The smell that haunted her lessened once more in the bath house. It was a curious thing even she was trying to figure out. "But yeah. I am interested. Most times I meet someone that give themselves a name like that, they are usually Neonates that want to sound tougher than they really are." She explained as she took a seat and gestured to him to take the other. This Haunt had her curiosity.
