His warm smile twitches a bit larger for a split second. "I'm Elil. A friend. You two are planning on joining me after the wedding, last I checked. I just..." he sighs, "I love you people so much. Your partner, she's a fan of me. Have you ever heard of the Black Hearts, Henry?"
“Oh that makes all the more sense now, the legendary Elil, and the Black Hearts too. I’ve only heard what KK has told me, outside of that, I know little, I’ve done research on Nightmares back in my younger days as a hunter, but I was more… violent than scientific back then. I do thank you for your words, and I do hope I enjoy the Beach, the last beach I went to was a little different from what that one will be I assume.”
"Yes." He chuckles, momentarily losing a hint of his kindness. "It will be very... very different from the beach where you killed that orphan, Henry. The poor, wizened child, half-dead, half-dreaming. Poor thing, poor thing." He tsks. "Shame about the Old Hunters. Anyway, KK would've loved the kid. I should bring her a picture sometime. Maybe a wedding gift. You think she would like that?"
“Something… well you know what she would like, as much as you know what I would like. Maybe something as simple as the insights into madness would be a perfect wedding gift, her mind is as broken as my own, but giving her a way to perfectly work the Old Blood without any side effects would be lovely. I do regret what I did, but it is what I thought had to be done, and I can’t unkill a creature such as that, maybe someone else can, but not me.”
He clenches his own fists, “There wasn’t going to be any evidence by morning, and you could have stayed out of it all together. Mind your own business, matter of fact, I should kill you for seeing that I killed those idiots.” A small smile cracks onto what remains of his face.
She picks up their whole body, “Sweetheart, that ain’t gonna do, yer sleepin’ in the bed, ‘er we’re both sleepin’ on the ground.” She puts them back on the bed and taking their place “Love ya. What’s yer name, I wanna remember my daughter.”
"If I tell anyone, they'll know I recognize death.. I wont be telling anybody what I saw here, only for my own safety."
"Mama.." she sighs and doesn't fight her "Anabelle. And fine, I'll sleep here.."
He chuckles softly at that, nodding “If you say so, I’ll be going and staying out of your hair, I do hope you get that ‘important work’ of yours done.” He begins walking.
She softly says the name back to herself, “Annabelle, sounds like a kid o’ mine, an’ ya look like one too. Hope we can make up fer lost time, goodnight, sweetheart.” She closes her eyes, getting ready to sleep.
"I'm sorry, Harry.." he says with a sad sigh as he walks home (good end here)
"Night, Mama.. Sleep well." she smiles and takes her hat off, drifting off quickly (and here too, I believe)
*And I do believe that I should choose some people now, unless you want to, of course? I wouldn’t want to derive you of the chance.*
*I have no preference. Actually, I do, alas I am plagued with cant-pick-character-atosis. Damn Usopp for bringing it from Indecisive Island*
*Well, is there any specific type of character you would like? I may be able to work with that, and lead you to an exact choice.*
He leans over, paying close attention. "I'll stifle my presence so you can do your work properly without my distractions." And suddenly, it's as if he weren't there, but he clearly is. His heartbeat, his breathing, his weight, his dominating feeling of kindness and uncanny awareness are gone. But he's still visible. Just... part of the background.
*Did you actually read my crazy lore?*
*a bit of it, yeah. But also River is slightly inspired by Dexter*
River sighs contently as he zips up the prepared bag, tossing it into the corner gently. "A test is necessary.. Lead me to somebody you think is worthy of the blade, Elil."
*"Slightly?"*
"Oh, almost anyone would do these days. How about an NEO Exorcist? I imagine those ones are hard for you to find since they wear the plainclothes and stomp out Nightmares whenever they find the tykes. We could lure one in real easy." His voice feels disconnected from his body, just floating in the space he barely occupies anymore.

What was that thing you collected when it died? And of course, that Blood you're using isn't the original Old Blood... no, no, far too human, too easily applied to humanoid physiology. What you need is the Blood of a Great One, I think. Paleblood." He steps closer, spinning his cane. "And guess what entity has that?" He stamps his cane into the ground when he's just far enough away from Henry to be outside of his personal space bubble. Just barely not too close. "Wouldn't that be a hell of a wedding gift?"

Sanviento has created a teleportation circle, and is now sitting in front of it, and eating a sandwich while he waits.
Wander is doing as his name implies, Sylvia leading him somewhere, he wouldn’t know where though, considering he’s blind without moving his hair, playing his bango.
Gin is sitting in their room, cleaning a wound before Tonya gets back, not wanting them worrying about his condition.
His smile widens. It's almost too wide. "I would like that very much." He sighs. "This bucket is getting heavy, I might have to hand it back soon. So, how's Henry? I heard you two got into the Old Blood a while back, and I'm wondering if he'd be interested in some premium stuff as a wedding gift."
"Oh, right." She takes back the other bucket if he allows. "He's been doing alright- recovering steadily. I haven't had any of the Old Blood myself yet- we're trying to get it to a more stable state so I can have some without my brain shattering."
He allows, then leans on his cane. "Well, it's been corrupted by passing through human after human. In its natural state, it's actually pure white. The Scourge was a side-effect of that corruption, as was the bloodlust. You anger the gods, abuse their blood... you get bad results, don't you? I may... have some of the pure stuff, Paleblood, on hand... you think Henry would appreciate some of that?"

"Step one will be the room for this hunt.. Step two is get the man to the room. How do you think we do that, Elil?"
