----------------------- [/b]  -----------------------[/b] She was in a cemetery. Why was she in a cemetery? Lenore had absolutely no idea why she was in a cemetery. She had already fed so she was fine feeding-wise, but after that, she had just wanted to be alone. And apparently that meant going to a cemetery. Well, at least she knew no one would follow her here. Well, you know, unless they were looking for one of the people here to rise from their graves. Which, you know, she really hoped didn't happen as she wasn't in the mood to fight off a starving vampire. But then again, who did like fighting off a brand-new vampire? It certainly wasn't fun. She then let out an unneeded breath. Man, her thoughts got weird sometimes. But then again, who could really blame her this time given her surroundings? Surely even a human would be thinking about the dead rising when they were in a graveyard, as it was only natural. Well, you know, unless they had a valid reason for being there such as visiting a lost loved one. That of course didn't apply to her. Everyone she had ever known or loved had been dead for a long time, except other vampires and the fairly new people she had met over the years, such as the Winchester brothers. At the thought of the hunters, a smile curved her features. Those boys are something else, she thought to herself. They were strong, loyal to one another...she could go on, but she had a feeling that it'd be weird. And why she she thinking about the Winchesters anyway? Because they had met up a few nights ago? Well, she was supposed it was possible, but it was still weird. These thoughts were interrupted as she heard faint footsteps approaching. "Hello?" she called, following the sound of the noise. It didn't sound like anyone she knew, but then again, she hadn't really been paying attention. Well, whether it was a friend or foe, they were about to meet in the middle. Don't let it be said that she was afraid to meet things head on. She did wish however, that she had a little backup in case it turned out to be a trap of some sort... -----------------------[/b][/center] |

----------------------- [/b]  -----------------------[/b] Mari had heard through the grape vine that one of her friends in Richmond from the 1950's had passed after a long bout with pneumonia. It had been a blessing really, Alice had gone a bit senile in her later years and told anyone who would listen she knew a vampire who had helped her when her husband had died in the Korean War. No one believed her of course, they thought it was the dementia that had slowly taken her mind after her husband Henry had died.
Mari hadn't dared make an appearence as Alice's friend. She claimed to be the granddaughter who had heard about Alice and wanted to pay her respect because her grandmother was too ill to travel. It worked like a charm and so she had gotten a chance to see Alice one last time. Now here she was, bringing flowers so she could talk to her friend.
She walked over to Alice's grave her heels clicking as she made her way there, black dress and shoes for the occasion as she laid the flowers at her grave. "I'm so sorry, Alice. No one deserves to go like that. You were such a good person. Most people would have freaked seeing me feed on that rabbit but you..you just asked if it tasted like chicken. I almost shot blood out my nose because of you." she laughed and tears fell down her face, "I miss you. You were one of the good ones. You knew how scared I was and you didn't run screaming you just asked me if I needed a place to stay. Ironic given that Henry had just died and you were facing eviction. The fact that you could worry about ME even with all that shows just how wonderful a person you were. I hope you and Henry are happy. I'm going to miss you so much." her voice cracked and she heard sounds, dabbing her eyes she blinked and saw the other vampire, "Oh, hi. Sorry, a friend of mine died. My name is Marina, Marina Sinclaire." she offered shyly to the other woman. -----------------------[/b][/center] |

----------------------- [/b] -----------------------[/b] Lenore stared at the woman for a minute. She didn't recognize her, though she gave off the same vibe that Lexi did, which meant that this was a fellow vampire. Well, it's always nice to meet someone new, she thought to herself. She didn't even have to ask why the other woman was there as she promptly volunteered the information, explaining that she a friend of hers had just died and that she had been visiting them. "I'm sorry to hear that," she murmured. And she was. No matter how old they got, losing someone special was always hard. To be honest, Lenore wasn't sure that she'd ever get used to losing her friends. It always hurt, no matter how remote their acquaintance was. It was times like that that Lenore could understand wanting to shut off your emotions. Not that she had that option mind you, but she understood it. She then realized that the other woman was talking again and forced herself to pay attention as the woman introduced herself as Marina Sinclaire. "Nice to meet you, Marina. I'm Lenore Wainwright," she replied. Hey, Marina had given out her last name, so it was only polite to do the same. "And in case you're wondering, I came here to be alone. Yes, I realize how incredibly weird that is," she continued. Hopefully, she doesn't start thinking I'm a hunter or a Slayer or something, she thought to herself. The last thing she wanted to do was make Marina feel like she had to be on her guard. But then again, she wouldn't blame her at all if she was suspicious as to why she was out here for no apparent reason. It wasn't as if cemeteries were a town's hot spot for hanging out. But if she handled this correctly, Marina would see that she wasn't a threat to her. -----------------------[/b][/center] |

----------------------- [/b] -----------------------[/b] Mari just nodded and dabbed her eyes, "Thank you. Its a pleasure to meet you, Lenore." she exhaled slowly and tried to collect herself. Her body slowly relaxing as she listened to Lenore and brushed her hair behind her ear. She wasn't in danger of shutting off her emotions, she knew better than that. She blinked a few more times to clear her vision.
It was obvious that Lenore had her own thoughts as she got a quiet blink to her words for a moment. It didn't bother her all that much as it was quite common for Vampires to be triggered by their own memories in the blink of an eye. She just waited and made sure that she didn't have anything on her black dress. She was starting to get a headache from her tears earlier and dabbed at her face trying to fix her makeup in the gloom.
"Its not weird. In today's society the only time you don't have to deal with tons of people is a cemetary or a library. Generally I prefer libraries but then I am a librarian." she said with a chuckle as she regarded her and looked kindly at the dark haired girl. -----------------------[/b][/center] |

-----------------------[/b] -----------------------[/b] Lenore watched with some concern as the other vampire nodded and wiped her eyes, thanking her and saying it was a pleasure to meet her. "It's good to meet you too. I'm sorry if I ended up intruding. I honestly didn't mean to," she responded. And it was the truth. She knew that a lot of people preferred to be on their own when visiting a loved one and hearing someone walking about when you were trying to visit was probably distracting. And that was the last thing in the world that she wanted to do with Marina---distract her. Hopefully, she'd accept her apology. And if she didn't---well, at least she could say that she had tried. She then watched as Marina fixed her make up and assured her that it wasn't weird for her to come to a cemetery in order to be alone as these days, a cemetery or a librabry were the only places that one didn't have to worry about a lot of people, adding with a chuckle that she preferred a library as she was a librarian. "Oh, wow. That must be cool," she commented. Maybe she should be looking for a job as it looked like she was going to be here a while. She had only intended to be here long enough to help Lexi with a vampire, but things had apparently gone South so her services weren't required at the moment. Oh, she supposed she could've left Richmond and had come back when Lexi needed her again, but if she had, she never would've met Willow. And she wouldn't have missed that for anything. And that brought her back to her original point: she needed to find a job so that her staying in Richmond indefinitely didn't look weird. It certainly wouldn't do her or anyone else any good if she made people suspicious by staying in town for a long period of time without a job. Hmmm....maybe I could talk to Willow. She might know of some place that's hiring, she mused to herself. It was certainly worth looking into... -----------------------[/b]

----------------------- [/b] -----------------------[/b] "Its perfectly fine. I'm just one of those vampires that cries easily." she said with a wave of her hand as she tried to collect herself. The smell of new turned earth and rotting corpses didn't appeal to her but she'd survive it. She rose and smoothed her dress to move somewhere a little less close to the body. Her heels clicked against the stone a moment.
"I like being a librarian. I like helping other people. Gives me something to do with my time." she admitted as she shrugged her shoulders, "What do you do for a living?" she asked in order to make conversation. She really was lonely if she was asking this girl twenty questions. She needed a life but really didn't know where to get one given the situation she was in. It sucked being the friend that had just gotten into town, she didn't know that many people and her friends all had issues. It really sucked.
She wondered if any of them would call. She somehow doubted it. Not that she minded how cliquish they could be. She knew she was an outsider. She looked up at Lenore, "I think you could apply as a volunteer at the library. They always need help." she said gently as she tried to find something to talk about, "I'm sorry, I'm a bit of an outsider." she said softly as she looked down at her hands shyly. -----------------------[/b][/center] |

-----------------------[/b] -----------------------[/b] Lenore nodded in understanding as Marina explained that she was fine but that she just tended to cry easily. "Heightened emotions I presume," she stated. She hadn't met too many vampires that had that particular trait, so there was a good chance that she was wrong about the type of vampire Marina was, but she also had a chance of being right. Well, she was supposed that she'd find that out soon enough. She then grinned as the other woman stated that she liked being a librarian and helping other people as it gave her something to do with her time. "And when you're a vampire, you have nothing but time," she commented. Sometimes that was the worst thing about vampire: the endless amount of time you had on your hands. If you weren't careful, you could get bored real quick. Which was part of the reason why Lenore and her friends tended to move around a lot: the change of scenery kept things interesting. At the question of what she did for a leaving, Lenore shrugged. "Honestly, right now, I'm in between jobs, but I've done almost everything," she responded. And that was certainly the truth. In all the time she had been around, she had studied so many things and had so many different jobs that she had actually lost count. At Marina's suggestion of volunteering at the library, Lenore frowned thoughtfully. Well, I have been wondering what to do since I've been here, she mused. And people were starting to get suspicious about why she was staying here so long when she hadn't settled down. A job would quell some of the suspicions and would also give her a stronger reason for staying. Not that she needed another reason. Willow was the only reason that she needed to stay in Richmond. Willow. Just the thought of the witch made her blush. She then gave herself a mental shake as the other woman apologized, saying that she was a bit of an outsider. "I think all vampires are outsiders in a way," she stated. After all, most couldn't go out in the sun which definitely created a chasm between them and humans, and the ones that could still gave out a vibe of being different than everyone else. "And your suggestion is a good one. I just may take you up on it," she added. Even if she didn't end up working at the library, it'd probably be a good idea to look into it at least. -----------------------[/b]

----------------------- [/b] -----------------------[/b] The vampire nodded as her emotions began to get more under control. She exhaled slowly and looked at the brunette that was there. That was the nice thing about being a vampire. Folks just understood when they were one. They got all the stress and strain of it. The depression when you realized all those you loved were going to die on you.
"Exactly. Keeping busy is key I think." she said softly as she looked at the other woman and smiled softly. To the comment of outsiders she nodded shyly. "I think we have to be. We stand out too much to really be anything else. Its hard to blend in unless you do things to avoid suspicion. I drink animal blood so that no one has a vampire sighting. It makes it easier in some ways."
"You might find its something enjoyable. I've always found it to be so." she murmured and looked at her. She exhaled softly and tilted her head, "Am I disturbing you? You came to be alone and here I am babbling at you. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude." she exhaled softly and glanced about at the evening sky. "I can go if you like." She was ready to leave if she needed to.
She didn't want to be a bother to anyone, least of all this new person. She really didn't have a lot of friends to call her own truth to tell, just Stefan, Lexi and occassionally Damon. That started making her maudlin and sad and she hated it. -----------------------[/b][/center] |

-----------------------[/b] -----------------------[/b] Lenore watched as Marina inhaled and exhaled, getting her emotions under control and then went on to say that keeping busy was the key for passing time. "Definitely," she agreed. A vampire had nothing but time and if they didn't have something to do with all that time, they could go pretty stir-crazy and that wasn't a good feeling. Which was why once women had been allowed to do more than just look pretty, she had gotten herself a good education and had gone through many jobs throughout the years. In fact, recently, she had been working in an office, but she had to admit that doing volunteer work in the library had some appeal. She then chuckled as the other vampire stated that in a way they had to be outsiders as they stood out too much unless they took steps to avoid suspicions. "This is true. Especially if you can only go out at night," she commented. Which, you know, wasn't a problem with her as she could walk in the day. It just had the the effect of her feeling like she had a nasty sunburn. It really sucked, but at least it was better than turning into ash like most vampires. Hearing that the other vampire drank from animals, Lenore grinned. Yes! Someone else is on this diet too! she thought to herself. She knew that it wasn't the preferred diet of vampires and most of the other vampires that she knew that weren't part of her family thought she was crazy for not indulging in human blood. "So do I. So disgusting, but it helps us blend in so it's worth it," she responded. And it really was. She knew that she and the others couldn't have made it for this long if they had been recklessly feeding on humans. When the other woman said that she might find volunteering at the library enjoyable as she had, Lenore nodded. "Yes I probably would. I like reading in my spare time, so it'd probably be a good fit," she agreed. She then shook her head as Marina asked her if she was bothering her, adding that she could leave if she wanted to be alone. "No, no. It's fine. I was just thinking---clearing my head, that kind of thing. I wasn't visiting anyone," she assured. As far as she knew, there wasn't anyone in this graveyard that she knew. Not that she had checked or anything, but still... -----------------------[/b]

----------------------- [/b] -----------------------[/b] This young woman was nice. She probably shouldn't think of her like that but it was true. She enjoyed her company and the honesty that came with it. Brushing a stray hair out of her eyes, Mari smiled and nodded, "I can imagine so. I was blessed with a daylight ring so I have that added benifit, but if you ever need company I would love to visit. Its really nice here in Richmond and it beats being the third wheel." she let that tid bit drop accidentally and blushed.
"Sorry, its just, all my friends are going through some pretty deep stuff and here I am feeling kind of useless right now. I mean I say the right things but it still feels weird ya know?" she admitted this as she ran her hand over the back of her neck and sighed softly. "I think part of the reason I came here is that at least when you are truely alone you know it. I end up feeling alone in crowds all the time and no one understands what its like. They all think if you're included and you chat you're good but sometimes my insides don't match my outsides."
"Oh yeah blood from animals is awful but it saves lives. I just can't bring myself to steal from a blood bank. I'd feel like I was preventing someone from getting the help they need."
"With books you can feel different. Life becomes more relaxed for the time you read the book. It changes you. Makes you feel things like nothing else can. It touches your soul." she giggled. "Listen to me nattering on. You'd think I never got to talk to people before." she laughed and shook her head. "What about you? What's your story? I'm endlessly curious, comes with being old." she said as she waved and smiled at the other woman.
Notes: Aww they are so sweet.

----------------------- [/b] -----------------------[/b] Marina was proving to be a great woman to talk to, and Lenore found herself listening with interest as the other vampire said that she had been blessed with a daylight ring which allowed her to walk about in the sun. She had heard about those rings, but hadn't really paid much attention to them as she was able to move about in the daytime without turning into a pile of ash. Okay, so it hurt at times, but she was certainly luckier than most vampires, so she wasn't really complaining. She could deal with the side effects. Lenore than nodded as Marina stated that Richmond was beautiful and that if Lenore wanted, she could come up to visit if the other vampire ever wanted company, adding that it was better than being a third wheel. "All of your friends are hooking up, huh?" she asked with a laugh. That had to suck a bit...no pun intended. It was never fun when everyone you knew had a significant other and you were left out in the cold. She then nodded in understanding as the other vampire explained that her friends were all going through something and she felt useless, adding that she said the right stuff, but still felt weird. "I understand completely," she assured and her eyes clouded the woman continued, saying that she came to the cemetery because when you were alone, you knew it and that she could sometimes be in a crowd and still be alone even though other people figured that if you interacted with them, you were good. "I hear you. You can be in a room full of people and still be lonely," she agreed. Or hungry, depending on the situation and why you were in the room in the first place. From Marina's attitude, Lenore could tell that she didn't think much of animal blood either, adding that she didn't like using blood bags because she felt like she was stealing the blood from someone who really needed it. "Plus eventually the hospitals would notice a dwindling supply," Lenore added. Though to be honest, she could completely understand what she meant about taking blood from someone who needed it. After all, it'd be a horrible situation if someone needed a transfusion or something and there wasn't enough blood to save them. However, Marina's reason for not using blood bags wasn't Lenore's reasoning. Her reasoning was the one she had just added: the noticing of a low supply of blood bags, which certainly added up faster when you traveled in a group. Lenore grinned as Marina said that books could make you feel different as they helped you to relax as well as touching your soul. "Yes. Books like The Sound and the Fury or A Tale of Two Cities," she agreed. Of course, she also enjoyed the occasional Harlequin. Hey, she may have been dead, but she was still a girl. And a girl needed her trashy romance novel. She then laughed as the other woman realized that she had been doing most of the talking, saying that one would think she didn't get a chance to talk to people. "Don't worry about it. I'm enjoying the conversation," she assured. When Marina asked her about her story, saying that she was endlessly curious, which came from being old, Lenore let out an unnecessary sigh. "The reason for my turning wasn't as quite as noble as yours. It was three hundred years ago and there had been a bunch of so-called animal attacks and everyone was on edge. I was staying with a friend who ended up turning me. Needless to say, I wasn't very happy," she responded. And that was certainly an understatement. She had been very frightened and hadn't understood what was going on. The guy who had turned her tried to get her to stay with him, but she had run from him without looking back and hadn't heard from him ever again. For all she knew, he was probably still alive and creating chaos. Well, as alive as any vampire could be that is. "But it all worked out. I met a lot of people over the years and I sometimes travel with the same group of vampires," she added. She didn't want Marina thinking that she was all about the gloom and doom side of their existence because she really wasn't. She knew how to have a good time. She just also tended to be a bit more morose than other people. -----------------------[/b][/center]

----------------------- [/b] -----------------------[/b] "Yeah." she winced and sighed, she'd heard through the grapevine that Lexi had the Salvatore's on the mend with the girl that Stefan had fallen for. Not that she begruged him that she just wanted to find that spark with someone. "I'll find someone some day." she said with a shrug and a laugh, "Just kind of makes it a bit awkward for me." she said as she rubbed the back of her head with embarrassment.
"I'm just not...as socially graceful. I spent most of my time in a convent so I never really learned how to be one of the popular crowd. It was great for self control but not so much for meeting new people." she blushed scarlet at this admission but sometimes you could tell a stranger things that you couldn't tell anyone else. She liked that part anyway but she kept a close eye in case Lenore looked bored.
"Well that too. It gets noticed too easily and Mystic Falls has a lot of vampires per person. Its too crowded. Its just easier to stick to animals." she admitted honestly as she looked up at the other woman and smiled shyly. She somehow felt it was easy to talk to her. At the mention of book titles she nodded, "Yes. I always liked Little Women." she said gently with a smile, "Though Shakespeare was good at making people laugh." she added. She listened to Lenore's story of her turning and grimaced, "I'm sorry that happened to you. Sounds pretty traumatic. I'm glad you've worked past it." she murmured with a smile.
She knew very few vampires that had pleasant stories of being turned. There was a reason so many went bad and shut off their emotions. Dying was traumatic enough but to know you'd out live everyone was emotionally damaging to most vampires. "I tended to keep to myself. Ran into the wrong side of the Spanish Inquisition in the 1840's." she winced but tried to shrug it off. "I'm trying to find a group to fit in with but as you heard earlier, its kind of hard when romance is in the air."

----------------------- [/b] -----------------------[/b] At Marina's confirmation that all of her friends were getting together, Lenore once more looked at her sympathetically. "That's got to really suck," she stated even as the other vampire stated that she'd find someone some day. After all, how long could one be expected to act like they didn't care that all of their friends had someone and they didn't? Heaven knew that she had been in that same situation many times before. Of course, that was no longer a problem for her as she now had Willow, but still, she could relate. When Marina added that it made things awkward for her, Lenore noddd in understanding. "Yeah, you gotta watch them be all lovey-dovey or bicker. That's gotta be hard," she sympathized. And it was did. When a couple was in their "Oh I love you and you can do no wrong" stage, the sun rose and sank on the significant other, and when the couple was in their "I hate you, I wish you'd die" stage, well...let's just say that it had sometimes been tempting to behead her friends. Then Marina explainde that she wasn't exactly socially graceful having had spent most of her time in a convent, which had been good for learning self-control, but not for learning how to become popular. "I getcha," Lenore said, hoping it would ease her new friend's discomfort. It made sense. Convents were all about surpressing urges and devoting yourself to God, which was probably a little awkward for a vampire, but hey, whatever worked. And from the sound of it, it had worked for her. Lenore smiled a bit as Marina agreed with her about a dwindling supply of blood bags being noticed. Apparently, that hadn't been her first thought, though Lenore couldn't say the same for her and her friends. They had tried using blood bags but as she had said, the hospital had noticed that their supply of blood was getting depleteed and had launched an investigation, forcing Lenore and the others to flee the town that they had been in. She then listened intently as the other vampire expressed pleasure in Little Women and Shakespeare. "I like Little Women too," she agreed. And Marina was right. Shakespeare did know how to make an audience laugh. As You Like It was one of her favorite plays by him. It had hard for her to tell the other vampire how she had been turned, but at least she was sympathetic, saying that it sounded traumatic but at least she had worked past it. "Yeah, I've had a lot of years to do it," she stated. Not that it had been easy mind you. It hadn't. In fact, if she had been the type of vampire who could've turned off her humanity, she was certain that she probably would've done it shortly after being turned. Because honestly, who would want to deal with the pain of being betrayed by someone you thought you could trust? She then nodded as the other woman stated that she tended to keep to herself and that she had ended up on the wrong side of the Spanish Inquisition. "Oooh, that doesn't sound fun," she said with a wince and then listened as the other vampire continued, saying that she was trying to find a group to fit in with though it was difficult because of all the romantic pairings. "I hear ya. Well, you can hang out with me. I mean, yes, I have a girlfriend, but I'm sure Willow wouldn't mind us all hanging out at times," she told her. At least...she hoped the witch wouldn't. Their relationship was still pretty knew and she didn't want to just assume anything with her. Well, she'd talk with her and if it bothered her, well...they'd just have to cross that bridge when it got there she supposed... -----------------------[/b][/center

----------------------- [/b] -----------------------[/b] "Yes, I was always sensitive when it came to things. I cried at everyone's funeral and that was a lot back then." she said simply as she sighed and exhaled gently. "I'll be fine, don't worry." she assured the other woman.
She straightened up as she spoke to Lenore, her spine taking a correct posture and her eyes a little brighter for the conversation that she was having with her. "It makes me feel like an outsider. Sometimes I think its just a signal to move on." she shook her head and sighed, "No more negative thoughts." she said aloud trying to cheer herself up out of the funk she was in. "I've got to be positive."
"It wasn't pleasant. It was not a good time for me." she said as she thought about what had happened and what she had done. "It was a learning experience." she added as she looked over at the other woman and smiled at the offer of hanging out, "If your girlfriend is okay with it it would be nice. I don't want to impose though." she said quickly, not wanting to be a bother and cause problems for the new couple she had just met. It did cheer her up that she had met someone new though so there was that.
She scratched under her eye a moment, gently removing an eyelash that got stuck as she listened to Lenore, "So, what places do you recommend? I'm new in town so I have to take your word for it all. I do want to see more than just the cemetery." she said with a slight sigh, "It would be a shame to miss out just because I'm sad."
Lenore had to have some places she liked. She wouldn't have stayed if she hadn't. Vampires didn't like to be bored. -----------------------[/b][/center] |

----------------------- [/b] -----------------------[/b] Lenore nodded in understanding as Marina told her that she was always sensitive and that she cried at everyone's funeral, which had been a lot back then. "Yeah it's hard not to get caught up in everyone's emotions," she stated. And it was, even if you weren't a vampire whose emotions were heightened after you turned. And if you were sensitive like Marina was saying she was, it was probably even worse. She then smiled in relief as her new friend assured her that she was okay. "That's good. I wouldn't want you to be upset," she told her. She had never liked it when her friends were unhappy especially if she had been the cause of it, which fortunately, she wasn't this time. She then nodded again when as the other vampire said that it sometimes made her feel like an outsider, which she usually thought was a signal to move on. "I get that way too," she agreed. After all, you could only stay in one town for so long before you either started to get restless or people would start to get suspicious that you didn't appear to be aging. When you were older, it wasn't that big of a problem as you could always pass it off as aging well, but eventually, people would start to wonder when you still looked like you were twenty-nine when you were supposed to be sixty and you'd eventually have to leave. She then grinned and nodded in agreement as the other vampire said that she should forget the negative thoughts and be more positive. "It can be hard though. We've both been around for so long and have seen so many things," she commented. And she wasn't sure about Marina, but Lenore had seen a lot of bad things. But then again, she had also seen a lot of good in her life. Lenore shook her head as Marina said that the Spanish Inquisition hadn't been pleasant or a good time for her. "I should imagine not," she said. That hadn't been one of the better periods in history and did nothing for the reputation of humans. But as long as humans learned from their mistakes,s he supposed that was all that mattered. She then listened as the other woman said that it'd be nice to hang out as long as she wasn't imposing. "Well, I'll talk to her, but I'm sure she'd be okay with it," she assured. She didn't want the girl to think that she was interrupting anything as Willow seemed to be the kind of girl wouldn't mind meeting new people. She watched as the other vampire scratched under her eye as she asked her what places she recommended as she was new in town and wanted to see more than just the cemetery and that it'd be be a shame to miss out on things just because she was sad. "Well, I'm rather new here myself, but I've noticed that there are some good restaurants here," she replied. Not that either of them needed food to survive, but in her opinion, it was always good to know where the restaurants were so that she could eat there once in a while to keep up appearances. Who knew? Maybe Marina was the same way. And at any rate, a restaurant was definitely not the cemetery. -----------------------[/b][/center]
