please imagine: rosie alone in her parlour, the room lit only by dozens of candles. she sits in front of a spirit/ouija board in the true fashion of the 20th century Spiritualism movement. it's more potent because it's, you know, the dead contacting the dead. like an old telephone. she's manipulating the shadows. using them like a telephone wire to reach to the farthest corners of hell, trying to locate alastor — a piece of him, if nothing else.
"i asked the shadows" she tells him later, after he's returned. "they found nothing."

△ What do you know about Alastor's disappearance?
( invasive questions / accepting !! )
𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐔𝐏. She's almost glad to have no answers for it, given the nature of this game. A bold move from her faceless companion. A question like this ranks a solid seven on the intrusive scale. Perhaps Alastor should pay them a visit later. She wouldn't want unnecessary information about her dearest friend getting out unwarranted, after all.
❝ I'm afraid I know as much as every other denizen of the Pride Ring. I have suspicions, of course — a feeling that, perhaps, he got into a bit of trouble. But it cannot be confirmed unless Alastor says so himself, and I think we both know that won't happen easily. He does so love to have an air of mystery about him. ❞
