Fiona shivered as the two porters carried in her trunk.
"Thank you," she said. "That will do."
As the men left, she sat down on the bed while her lady-in-waiting Maudelynne felt around with her cane to try to get a sense of what the room was like.
It wasn't much, really. Fiona could have used her royal status to command a room in any hotel in Paris, but for a woman in her... condition, it wasn't safe for others to be able to see her at night.
"Maudelynne?" she asked quietly. "Yes?"
Fiona put her chin in her hands. "What do you think it's going to do tonight?" "What's going to do?" "The curse."
Maudelynn smiled and sat next to her. "Same thing it does every night, I imagine. Try to take over the world." "Maude, it's been... changing! I still turn at night... but not to the same thing."
Maudelynne shrugged.
"I guess we'll have to wait and find out."

((Have you already transformed?))
*Wilbur walked down a passage that led to the cellars, his heavy footsteps scaring away the rats who dwell down below.*

((Not yet. If she does, though, she'll probably come out with her cloak on.))
Fiona started suddenly and looked at Maudelynne.
"Did you hear that?" "Hear what?"
Just to be safe, Fiona pulled on the long cloak given to her by Rochester and adjusted the hood so that it shaded her face before venturing outside.

*Wilbur almost stumbled against a cloaked figure and quickly began to apologize.*
"I am sorry, I didn't see you. Are you alright?"

Fiona backed away.
"Yes, I'm fine..."
She couldn't see what the man looked like, only that he was huge. Taken by surprise, she found herself nervously backing away.

*Wilbur put his hands in his pockets and stepped back. The figure was scared of him, like everyone else. Why wouldn't they be, he was a monster.*
"I am sorry, I'll leave you. Just wanted to find a quiet place."

"It's... it's okay, really. I don't blame you, it is hard to find anywhere quiet around here."

*Wilbur nodded.*
"For such a big place there aren't many places where you can be by yourself."

"I can relate," said Fiona.
She squinted against the darkness.
"Could you step into the light?"

*Wilbur nervously stepped backward.*
"You'll won't want to see.....I forgot my mask. You'll be scared, I don't want to scare you."

"Believe me," said Fiona, lowering her hood so he could see her gentle smile, "it isn't a-"
She stopped midsentence.
"Why are you looking at me like- Oh, no!"
She quickly pulled her hood up again and looked away.

*Wilbur's mouth dropped and he stared at Fiona for a long time before he himself stepped into the light.*
"You look like me. What happened to you?"

Fiona looked at the hulking, scarred man beside her.
"I look like you?"
She touched her face and felt that she did, in fact, have a nose, even if her cheeks seemed to have developed seams. This was a relief.
"That's good, I guess. Last night I looked like some kind of monster."
She reached back to instinctively push back a lock of hair, only to find that she scarcely had any. Okay, that's a new one.
Fiona abruptly realized that she hadn't answered his question.
"It's... it's a long story. Whatever I look like right now isn't how I usually look."

"Oh."
*Somehow Wilbur was a bit disappointed that the girl didn't always look like ...... well like him. The moment he thought that he cursed himself, how mean of him to wish that someone on the world would look like him!*
"You should be glad......... Not that you're not pretty, you are, it's just that......People. They tend to get scared. I always look like this."

"You... you think I'm pretty?" said Fiona, stunned. At the moment, not having seen her reflection, she was still rather fixated upon finding herself nearly bald.
