@mtrock sent: ā Ā what Ā a Ā creepy Ā thing Ā to Ā be Ā happening ! Ā ā
certain stories are heard and picked up by johanna's ear. if she's quiet and if her birds stop chirping ( and after she goes into a flutter of worries and make sure they're still alive ), she can overhear the sickening stories of whatever case her guardian was assigned to as he discussed the details with chief bamford. though, she stops herself before she tries pressing her ear to her floor. the last time she got invested in whatever story, she had nightmares about the same thing happening to her for weeks. this recent string of happenings, however, have proved to be too interesting not to pry into.
her eyes slowly widen. ā several people have gone missing. ā she tucks a curl over her ear. oh goodness, johanna really shouldn't be trying to eavesdrop -- even if she's bored and she was already home from her single daily visit to the library. people might try to ask her questions. ā i don't think that quite grasps the entire situation, sir. it's quite the understatement. i think. who knows if they'll ever be found. if they're even still alive. ā not that she knows the men that have gone missing. part of her wonders if their absence might create more of her story -- their young daughters might get adopted by men like . . . her guardian. ā it's terrible. ā
