Sara Brin	 
"It's a good think you happened by when you did." 
Dina O'Shire	 
aye- see now, thass wha i was a saying! 
Dina O'Shire	 
prolly a 'been comin' after yer bookie there next too! 
Sara Brin	 
<pensively> "I'm not so sure, actually" 
Dina O'Shire	 
aye? why's tha? <looks confused>
Sara Brin	 
"Yesterday I came back to my room and it seemed like things had been disturbed, like someone had looked through them." 
Sara Brin	 
"and that is all that seems to have happened with the tent" 
Dina O'Shire	 
aye, is tha so? well, pardon me fer waitin' so long to tell ye, bu i did lose my watch in there the other day... 
Dina O'Shire	 
tha nice american man o' yers found i fer me 
Sara Brin	 
"oh, well scratch that theory" 
Dina O'Shire	 
bu, i didnae make tha much of a mess 
Sara Brin	 
"Well that probably was all it was" 
Sara Brin	 
"By the way, how did you happen to be at the tent when the burglers were there?" 
Dina O'Shire	 
like i was sayin'- jus out takin a walk! <looks a tid bit miffed> nufing wrong there, is there? 
Sara Brin	 
"Hey, I wasn't accusing you of anything!" 
Sara Brin	 
"not that I blame you for being defensive after that French Cop" 
Dina O'Shire	 
me thinkin' on those lines tho' seems tha there's some'un very interested in tha body, iffn ye know wha i mean... 
Sara Brin	 
"But they didn't go after the body, the cryo-units seemed undisturbed" 
Dina O'Shire	 
aye, an' like i been sayin', mayhap it was on a cause of me happenin' by when i did... 
Sara Brin	 
<slightly puzzled> 'How?" 
Dina O'Shire	 
bu see me thinkin' i'twere more than jus' a few kids out causing trouble- themuns done did knowck me over quite flat an' they was a wearin' masks an such! 
Dina O'Shire	 
plus, wit' that auto ready to go an' all... jus' too pat to na be somefing more to it 
Sara Brin	 
"Yeah, they seemed a bit too organized for kids playing a prank" 
Sara Brin	 
"But why would anyone want to rifle through the site" 
Dina O'Shire	 
me thinkin' exactly! a' first i figured it were jus' a student or tha like, but tha book o' yers is special, ye know tha, right? 
Sara Brin	 
"Yes, it's quite a bit older than the grave" 
Dina O'Shire	 
an' i'm a'thinkin' someun wants to be a getting they dirty 'ands on it 
Dina O'Shire	 
an' i'm a 'bettin we can be a-xpectin' them back again! 
Sara Brin	 
"Well, somehow I don't think the French police are going to be much help ..." 
Dina O'Shire	 
see, me thinkin' too! ye are the only sane 'un 'ere! 
Sara Brin	 
<sigh> "We might have to post guards or something." 
Dina O'Shire	 
me thoughts exactly! ye been gettin' any further in tha book o' yers? 
Dina O'Shire	 
mebbe as to why some badd'uns would be wanting it? 
Sara Brin	 
"I think I have the key to it now. I was going to start going over it this morning, before all this ruckus started" 
Sara Brin	 
"I was pretty rung out" 
Dina O'Shire	 
thass good- iffn ye be 'avin problems wit' it, lemme know- i 'ave a few friends in this part o' the world 
Dina O'Shire	 
mayhap one in particulars tha could help read it 
Sara Brin	 
<with a smile> "I would be willing to bet that I will be quite capable of reading it." 
Dina O'Shire	 
fair 'nuf- no disrepect intended, ye know <she winks> jus' tha i gotta friend is all... 
Sara Brin	 
"Which part of the world specifically? You're Irish right?" 
Dina O'Shire	 
aye, i'm from the ilse of eire... ye been there ever? 
Sara Brin	 
"Once or twice".
<In Gaelic> "And at this point anybody not French is a relief" 
Dina O'Shire	 
<in gaelic as well, though prolly not as clean as sara!> erin go braugh and all! 'tis an ancient language ye speak and one that is close to me heart 
Dina O'Shire	 
<in english> mayhap ye CAN be a readin' tha book and all! 
Sara Brin	 
<inclines her head smiling> 
Dina O'Shire	 
<puts her arm around sara, a bit roughly, but in a friendly sort of manner> ye see!?! we gonna be tha best o' friends down 'ere! 
Sara Brin	 
(As Matt laughs out of character, Sara gives her a brave smile) 
Dina O'Shire	 
now, ye seen tha body, 'aven't ye? yer tha one tha be findin' it an' all, aye? 
Sara Brin	 
"Yes, actually I was the one who first opened the casket" 
Sara Brin	 
"Not quite normal is our corpse" 
Dina O'Shire	 
aye, thass wha i thought... an' when i be openin' tha deader up, he be all twisted and mixed ta'gether an' what na... 
Dina O'Shire	 
but he be lain about liken 'e was some sort o' holy man or somfing... 
Sara Brin	 
"Internally as well? Hmmm, was that becuase of how he died, or was it like that during his life?" 
Dina O'Shire	 
nay- tha was what was done ta 'im IN life, but the scary thin' is it didnae take 'is life away! 
Dina O'Shire	 
it was a lookin' in there liken he was changed like tha on purpose! 
Dina O'Shire	 
and fer means not liken to good, if ye catch me drift...  
Sara Brin	 
"And you're right about him being important, you don't bury an artifact like the book with mere monk" 
Sara Brin	 
"How could he have been changed? It was the fifteenth century" 
Dina O'Shire	 
aye, 'e was lain out like a saint or somesuch, all reverent like... an'na changed? <dina gets wide-eyed and spooky looking, like she was telling a ghost story> there be terrible tings out there, ms. scholar, ye best be na lookin inta- if ye'd even be a believin' in 'em inna first place! 
Sara Brin	 
<looking at Dina Oddly> "Terrible things, like French Turnip farmers" 
Dina O'Shire	 
<stops and turns, still acting like she's telling a ghost story> aye... an' there's even worse than tha, if ye can imagine! wolves tha walk on two legs liken to a man and what they be a'huntin in the midst of tha night be even worse than them! 
Sara Brin	 
<Sara smiles at the story> "and Wizards too" <raises her hands and chants nonsense syllables> 
Dina O'Shire	 
<dina is obviously taken aback by this, she loses her 'scary' pose completely and looks at you with wide eyes> aye, an' wizards too... why ye be bringin' them up? they be as real as you or i, i tell ye! seen 'em meself, i 'ave, sneakin' bout the woods a' night, a'lookin for newborn babes ta eat, i tell ye! 
Dina O'Shire	 
<smirks a bit>an' it was 'em wizards huntin' fer babes, na me! 
Dina O'Shire	 
'course, they ain't all bad sorts... 
Sara Brin	 
"Sorcerers go right along with your werewolves. Besides, isn't it usually faries hunting for babies?" 
Dina O'Shire	 
aye, well, there be differing types o' the fey. most be harmless, causing wee bits of trouble 'ere and there, but then there be goblins... AYE! ye thinkin tha body be a goblin? 
Sara Brin	 
:"Honestly, he looked human. He just looked mixed up. Okay, very mixed up" 
Sara Brin	 
<still smiling> "You know any good Druids?" 
Dina O'Shire	 
<at 'druids' dina is visably taken aback, she whirls on you quickly and says sharply:>AYE! doncha be a chantin' about thins ye donnae know abou'! 
Sara Brin	 
<Taken aback at Dina's discomfiture> "Okay, sorry. I didn't mean anything bad" 
Dina O'Shire	 
<she seems to collect herself, smiles a bit> guess i cannae shake ye booky types, eh? too much a learnin', na enuff watchin' the world around ye... 
Dina O'Shire	 
<shrugs> 's alright... jus' like one yer booky lads said 'know enuff to know ye be knowing nufing' or somefing like tha... 
Sara Brin	 
<letting the comment go> "Well shall we look at the world around us, namely the tent for clues" 
Dina O'Shire	 
aye, lessee wha's left of me goblin 'ere, eh? <winks at sara while unlocking the cryo-chamber> 
The Flaming One	 
If you get to the tent, nothing is missing. 
Sara Brin	 
<Sara stands back so as not to be in Dina's way> 
Dina O'Shire	 
<after a cursory examination of the chamber and a look at the jars of organs> aye, well, ev'rythin seems ta be in order 'ere... but looky this! <hands sara a jar with some grotesque biological thing in it- if sara can, she'll recognise it as a malformed heart> 
Sara Brin	 
<probably not, nor is she really trying> "Ugh, what is it?" 
Dina O'Shire	 
<smiles a bit at sara's discomfort> thass 'is 'art! not lookin' liken something tha was fill'd wit' good, aye? 
Dina O'Shire	 
ye know why they be a 'callin me in 'ere, right? 
Sara Brin	 
"You were here for the autopsy, as the Professor didn't have a skilled doctor with him, right?" 
Dina O'Shire	 
'ey! i'm being a 'skilled doctor'! 
Dina O'Shire	 
bu there be more to i' than jus that... 
Sara Brin	 
"What?" 
Dina O'Shire	 
ye see, i be knowing me 'istory as well... an' i be of knowing things others don'...  
Dina O'Shire	 
of most import, 'owever, i be knowing of good and evil, an' i tell ye plain as day, this be evil afoot 'ere! 
Sara Brin	 
"No disrespect to you, but I wouldn't have thought Professor Kittemer would have taken that sort of thing into account" 
Dina O'Shire	 
<smirks>heh! ye be right 'bout tha... thass why me society sent me, under 'is nose and all... ol' kitty-pants donnae know two stones bout wha could be goin' on 'ere 
Sara Brin	 
"So you aren't here on completely legitimate purposes either." 
"Well at least you stopped those others from making off with anything" 
Dina O'Shire	 
<raises an eyebrow> either? 
Sara Brin	 
"Like the people who broke in last night ..." 
Dina O'Shire	 
<looks a little disgusted> na liken unto them! i'm na 'ere to cause trouble, ye see... jus' ta be a lookin' a' things tha others would be missin... an'na only reason i tell ye this is onna cause of tha book o' yers- it be special, ye know... 
Dina O'Shire	 
an since i be doin' ye a favor an warning ye, don' ye be chantin' to no'un about me bein' 'ere! <taps her nose a few times> ye gots ta know there be baddun's about! 
Sara Brin	 
"I won't tell anyone about your affiliations. Your private life is your own affair." 
Sara Brin	 
"How is it special?" 
Dina O'Shire	 
<winks, taps her nose again> 
Sara Brin	 
"Oh, your type of special. Is it some holy book that you know of, like the ones the reporter yesterday was shouting about?" 
Dina O'Shire	 
aye, well, na quite sure of yet, bu i know tha reporter may be knowin' somfing... them fortes is looney <twirls finger around ear> but they at times be seein' things most other cannae 
Dina O'Shire	 
an tha book, aye, well <scratches her head> le's jus be sayin' it's a feelin' i gots bout it...

Sara Brin	 
<ooc: Sara has short cut black hair. Probably early thirties, late twenties. Slightly above avereage height. I doubt she is prettier than Dina, she's really rather average.>
