<strong>Lorraine and Vince - Arriving at Septacles and Mysteries</strong><br/><br/>Along the way, Lorraine received a text message: "Alyssa is being held at room 304 of Paradiso General Hospital but is heavily comatose.  My partner has a few questions for her but I think you've been through enough, though if you feel up for more questions, let me know.  -Jason"<br/><br/>The road to the curiosity shop was rather long and tiresome on foot, but as the two continued on, they eventually arrived at the place.  The two-story building had a quaint and plain sign in the front, along with stairs upon the side to the second story.  Vincent would know that Nathaniel lived just above the shop, although the style of the place gave enough hints to that effect.<br/><br/>Inside, the heavy scent of incense permeated the area.  Various knickknacks and strange objects sat about, some behind heavy glass, but all cramped into the small room.  One spot held a number of magazines and tabloids, some talking about how strange burnt bodies had been found, others chatting about the increase of UFO sightings.<br/><br/>Nathaniel sat reading what looked to be an ancient book, and it took a bit before he noticed their entrance.  He was an elderly man, gray hair weaving through his dark hair like weeds in an unkempt garden.  "Oh, hello, Vincent," he said with a smile, rising to his feet in the presence of a lady.  "Who's your friend?"  He set down the tome, but kept a hand upon it, wanting to continue his reading.<br/><br/><br/>
