**NEW DAY**
His talk with Heike had given him a lot to think about--about destiny, fate, whatever you might call it--and how people were linked together. On top of that, he spent the entire way to Le Rouge thinking of how he was going to tell Brandi about what he'd discovered. He couldn't just blurt it out, but she would be able to tell if he danced around the point.
He still hadn't come to a conclusion by the time he reached the inn and walked in.
"Hey! Anybody in?"

Someone was, but maybe not the person Raziel was expecting. Still, Cry-Baby thought, long as he was careful, there was no reason they'd... repeat their former encounter. And it wasn't in him to run away from anything. His manner was not unfriendly, but it was guarded as he strolled in. And kept his distance.
"Raziel," he nodded. "Brandi ain't in just now. Anything I can do for you?"

No, Cry Baby was definitely not who Raziel was hoping to find. Still, it was better than nobody (or worse, someone who'd attack him on sight). He, too, kept his distance.
"Damn. I discovered something extremely important--something that has to do with Dracula."

Cry-Baby's manner was, as always, on the cool side. But he couldn't help but betray his interest in a slight frown, a stiffening of his shoulders. "She in any danger?" It was his first question, because it was his first concern.

"I'm not sure...yet. But since this is Dracula we're talking about, I wouldn't take any chances."
If Heike was to be believed, then Dracula had harmed her before...in who knew how many of her past lives.

Cry-Baby folded his arms. So far, so good. In the sense that he hadn't jumped the guy, either to punch him, or... well, or. Leave it at that.
"Reckon you can tell me, or are we gonna sit here an' stare at each other until she comes?"

*As if on cue, Brandi bustled in, rather flustered. Tugging off her coat, her brows arched at Cry-Baby.*
"I'm coming, see?" *She asked, not realizing the potential naughtiness of the statement.*
"Am I missing something?" *She glanced to the other, only then realizing the new set of potential complications and flustering a bit at it.*
"Oh. Um...so there's news?"

((Shoot, it's been so long, I can't even remember if she knows. Sorry.))
Cry-Baby moved, not so subtly, to Brandi's side.

"Yeah, there's news. I'm not quite sure how to tell you this..."
He shuffled his feet a moment, then heaved a sigh as he got his resolve back.
"It sounds like this...this life you have now, is not the first life you've met him in. You've run into him before, in past lives...and so have I."

((About alley naughtiness? No, she doesn't.))
*Brandi just stared at the angel blankly. So it was the verse and past lives seemed like the sort of thing that was par for the course as it were, but... Not with her. Not without her knowing for sure. Maybe if she'd written something into her background...but she would have remembered that. After a moment, she managed an answer, all be it an inelegant one.*
"Come again?" *She requested in blunt confusion.*

"I know, it sounds...crazy. But the higher being I talked to was insistent on it, and Drac kept hinting at that...but I hadn't known what he meant until recently."
He thought for a moment, recalling Heike's mention of a pirate.
"Does the name Jeanne ring any bells?"

Cry-Baby just watched them silently, his expression darkening at the implication that Brandi and Dracula had been... involved at some prior time.
Not to mention Raziel.
He wasn't sure he believed in past lives, but then, there was a lot of stuff that had happened lately he didn't believe in. And if there was such a thing, it was an affront not to be involved.

*Brandi's nose scrunched, not being able to make much sense of where he was going with this.*
"Jeanne...like d'Arc?" *She questioned. After all, she was here, though Brandi wasn't aware of her doing anything outside of Death's. But she'd know if she'd crossed paths with Drac, right? Hmm. It was perplexing. But that was the only Jeanne she knew. Here at least. There was...well, but she'd never been brought in here, so obviously that wasn't the point.*

He shook his head.
"This one was a...pirate. You were her, once."
He was actually starting to remember things, things he didn't even know he'd seen before. Since when had he ever been around pirates?

*The crinkle in Brandi's nose took a moment to dissipate and then quickly returned.*
"Like...Dufour? Or Thorne?" *She knew them, of course. But it was too weird to think that they would show up on the verse without her knowledge. Could OCs just...do that? It was an unnerving thought.*
