Gabrielle "Belle" Danielle: hey Hosty, about that certain cat, how did you and the others manage to stop him? It's ok if you don't want to answer it if it makes you uncomfortable - since it's forbidden to say, I'll completely understand if you don't want to, I'm only asking cause I'm curious and if something were to happen, I wanna be there to help you and the others, I'm not just a detective and investigator but I'm a slayer as well and an experienced and competent at that
*the autistic mortal detective/investigator and slayer places a gloved hand on their skeletal best friend's clothed shoulder and squeezes it reassuringly, the spectacled mismatched - brown and blue, eyes staring right at the sockets of their best friend*
Gabrielle: again, mi mejor amigo, if you feel uncomfortable on the question, again I'll completely understand if you don't, forget I asked anything, I know you guys don't like saying his name/title unless it's ABSOLUTELY necessary, and let's face it *small smile* I've been working and living here for a long time, so it's about the time I know the full story, don't you think? Again *takes their skeletal hands into their gloved ones* only if you want to
"Sigh. Thank you, Mx. Belle. You're too kind."
"And you're right. Perhaps it is time to tell you."
"Give me a moment. I need to get the memoir I need."
"Here. Ah... Don't worry about the lock."
"Now then... Let me open this and we'll start."
"The Black Cat came from one of the Madame's summoning sessions. Back then we weren't aware of the Cat's malevolence."
"Or it's power of suggestion. The Eye."
"It wanted the Mansion to destroy it. That's all. It's a spirit of destruction. A wraith like that... It can never rest..."
"Sinclair knows that restlessness. He saw the Cat's malevolence first. We planned to confront the Cat. Bind it, banish it peacefully."
"... I'm sorry. That's all I remember..."
