We may very well hear them before you can even think of filing your report.

[She has set a precedent for explosions and how far the sound can carry here, after all.]

The well is fixed; the typewriter is transient. We may end up needing it when we're adrift. It's a clever use of our resources, Wazy. [Genuinely...she won't even caution him against having too much contact with the water this time.]

As for places the depths of which have already been plumbed...there may still be a few that are hiding a secret or two. I should have some time, should you have any suggestions.

It's always an honor to receive a compliment from you, madame.

[This is also one week in particular where things like restraint mean very little, so it likely would have been a wasted effort even if she had been concerned about the ramifications of using the well recklessly.]

I've been wondering, but have we already combed through the rest of the unoccupied rooms in the boarding house? I was thinking we might find more of those specters, but I'm not sure if they would have much information to offer.

Not that I've heard of.

[Cantarella frowns, bringing a hand to her chin. From what she's seen on the signup sheets, at least, people have been avoiding the most familiar buildings for a while—with the notable exception of the library.]

I think stories from the first venture might have scared people off.

It was a while ago, but Siffrin managed to get into a few of the locked rooms in the boarding house. But those ones were empty.

I take it you’re referring to the three rooms on the first floor?

There wasn’t much talk about them after that first meeting, although some information about them may have travelled through the grapevine.

[although not this part of the grapevine, apparently?]

[ She nods. ]

If it's a matter of luck of finding information in the boarding house, I'm not sure if we can replicate it on purpose.

Fair enough. Unfortunately, that brings us back to square one.

[Although it seems like are some other suggestions going around, so yay?]
