*Renn shrugged and nodded.*
"I guess I'm always paranoid about what people think. Comes with being sixteen, I suppose."

Richard smiled. "Then I imagine it must also go with being thirty-two for a few centuries."

*Renn raised an eyebrow and downed her drink.*
"a few centuries? Sounds like quite a story. Are you a vampire or something?"

"Heavens, no."

*Holmes stared at her. Surely it was obvious that this was no ordinary woman, but killing her husband? He had seen worse, but it never ceased to upset him.*
"Cannot he be prosecuted? What power does he hold, that he can do these things with impunity? Ire--Miss Adler, I simply must get you away from here."

"A lovely cake," *Kris muttered, but was glad for Rochester's presence all the same. Dorian was no slouch to look at, either. It did not, however, distract her from Emily's mad dash for freedom, impeded as it finally was. She squeezed Rochester's hand, kissed him on the cheek and told him she'd be back. Then she flounced away to catch up with Emily.* "Wanna talk about it now?" *she asked.* "...answer's still no. Grab me something to drink, would you? The chain did a number on my throat..." *She rubbed at the angry red mark that stood out against the pale skin of her neck, biting her tongue.* "Sneaky bastard."

"His wealth and positiion helps keep him safe, but it's more than that. He instills fear in people, spread on by the talk of superstitious peasents."
*She looked down at her wrists, where her cuts still showed*
"I'll do anything to get out."

*Holmes had known such men. They angered him more than was useful. He looked at her wrists.*
"Hopefully it shall not come to that," *he said.* "What are his weaknesses?"

"Whatever," *Kris said, but got the drink anyway. It wasn't like Emily was driving anywhere.*
"Because, you really don't have to put up with this," *she could help saying when she came back.*

People who think they're vampires and historcial figures, young women from my time.... what have I gotten myself into? Guess I might as well meet some of these locals. Maybe one of them knows a way back.
A simple domino mask levitates off a servants tray and across the room. It stops at head level near one wall and Peter fades into view behind it.

*Micaela sat in a corner, mildly happier since she had patched things up with that Dorian dude. She caught sight of Renn talking to someone and waved enthusiastically, forgetting that Renn didn't know that she was a vampire.*

*Enters, resplendant in the same cocktail dress she'd worn so many years ago, on the night she'd met George and nearly gave him a heart attack by looking like his dead wife.*
"Anything but lonely..." *she murmured to herself.*

"Whatever," *Kris said, but got the drink anyway. It wasn't like Emily was driving anywhere.* "Because, you really don't have to put up with this," *she could help saying when she came back.* *Emily took a tentative sip of the drink and shook her head.* "No, you don't understand...my powers? Are gone. At least in the moments when it counts. If I want an eclair, I'm set..." *A moment later a waiter approached with an eclair on a silver tray and Emily waved him away, not feeling hungry but having made her point.* "But this?" *she twitched the chain.* "I can't fix this. I get the feeling I'm being every bit as controlled as any of my characters. I'm not the top of the chain, as it were," *she rolled her eyes.* "I'm just a conduit."

Stepping toward Emily and Kris.
"Not that I was trying to listen in but you mentioned loosing your powers."
Maybe she's like me. And ran into Hiro. And got sucked back to this point in time..... it could happen. Yeah right Peter.
"Maybe I can help."

*She glanced up at the new guy.*
"Er...well...thing is, I'm not so sure I even really HAD powers in the first place. Maybe I just had some convenient wishes granted or something..."
