Thread: Eight Down One to Go (8/15 ATTN: Lydia)

Reply by Christina Horton on August 15, 2009 at 10:15am Delete Lydia feeling a pull towards the lake heads that way. She gets to the tree line and watches for a few minutes before heading over to you. Walking up she notices the headless teddy bear. "Hello" she says and sits down next to you.

Reply by Christina Horton on August 15, 2009 at 10:32am Delete Smiling "Lydia". Taking her shoes off she puts her feet in the water also. "I have felt like someone has been looking for me and calling out to me, was it you all this time?" Looking out to the center of the lake to see what you are looking at, then not seeing anything looks back to you.

I am Maddalena Bonadeo Scatallia. I was called here for a reason I do not yet understand, but I have learned much recently. All of that aside, I asked you here tonight so that I could meet you. And ask your help." She scoots a leaf out into the water and watches it float in a crazy route.

Reply by Christina Horton on August 15, 2009 at 10:54am Delete Turning to her right and looking away for a moment she mumbles. You can' t quite make out what she is saying. Then she nods her head and turns back to you. Looking back out to the lake again and thinks for a moment. After a few moments she says "Yes I can help you, what is it that you need?"

Reply by Kathy Abromovich on August 15, 2009 at 11:06am Delete She turns to face Lydia with a smile full of conspiracy and friendship. "There is a man here, his name is Stan. He lives in the Mist as we do so he should be easy to pick out. I need you to take this bear to him and tell him it is from Maddalena." She hands the headless bear to Lydia as if nothing is wrong with it. "It has been ten long years and I have fallen behind in my duties. I have given other bears to be delivered to him as well. But I must have the bears delivered to him before I can show my face." She stops herself visibly as if she has been longing for someone to share her thoughts with but isn't certain Lydia is the right person for that.... yet. She suddenly grins brightly. "And if all works out right, I've gotten eight others from other families to carry around teddy bears. Will you help?"
