“I am sorry my dear, I had to scare a few children” he said with a little laugh as he embraced jenn in a warm…
“ahem, No need to be so formal dear. No one believes in the boogeyman anymore” he said with a small smile. He was abit flustered that she had bowed to him. It had been a very long time since anyone did that.
“Well, I can see you, so I guess I do,” she said, raising an eyebrow. She smiled a little softly. “Credendo Vides- By Believing, One Sees. I hold true to that, and I guess it’ll help me out in the long run.” She took a good long look at him, her green eyes sharply flicking over his form. “So… are you made out of shadows or something? Whatever it is, it looks really cool and really unnerving at the same time.”

“I am sorry my dear, I had to scare a few children” he said with a little laugh as he embraced jenn in a warm hug.
“I missed you greatly while I was gon…..Jenn….is that the woman you were talking about earlier?” he asked as he finally spotted the other woman.
“No were ill this morning because of that- I’m glad you did.” Jenn admitted as she relaxed in Pitch’s arms contently. Pitch finally picked up they were not alone and Jenn turned to look back at Wendy. “Right- Introductions. Pitch, this is my close friend, Wendy. Wendy, this is my well… boyfriend, Pitch.” she said simply, the fact that she was still unused to using the term was clear in her voice. Jenn realized there was something else she wanted to add and tapped Pitch on the shoulder before whispering in his ear. “Hey I forgot to mention, you can stay here if you like too. I mean- with Wendy taking the spare room we would have to share a bed and all- so it’s up to you. I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable.” she said.
“s-s-share a b-bed?” he stuttered and seemed to freeze up. He didnt know how to react to this. Now that she had said he could he was suddenly nervous. Deciding to try and act somewhat nonchalant he looked at the other woman.
“H-hello Wendy” he said then cleared his throat and said it again abit more steady sounding.
Wendy froze as what appeared to be darkness made solid suddenly materialized around Jenn and embraced her. Jenn told her that this was her boyfriend, the King of Nightmares, better known as Pitch. He bid her a stuttered ‘hello’.
This seemed to unfreeze her. Gathering her wits about her, she bowed low. “M’lord,” she said with a small smile. “Not every day that one gets to meet the boogeyman in person.”

She nodded. “Right- acquire crucifix, carry holy water and a stake. Any other pointers?” Wendy asked. This was going to be very weird, but very, VERY exciting. She couldn’t help the grin that was spreading across her face.
“Just don’t get cocky or ahead of yourself, generally things have a tendency to never go as originally intended.” Jenn commented while running a hand though her hair. “Ugh- I’m not really the teacher type… Most things are just lessons learned tough simply going out and getting experience.” she stated. Jenn took in Wendy’s excitement with a slightly guilty expression. “Unfortunately I don’t have a case right now so you will need to wait alright?” she apologized with a sad smile.
[[I do already have her next case plotted I just am waiting for an rp with Pitch to reach a certain point before I can start it OTL]]
She shrugged. “No worries… I want to get some practice in before I start with the slaying and exorcising and all that,” Wendy remarked.
((I should probably go and introduce myself/follow your Pitch as well so we can get something set up or whatever… XD))

She laughed. “Bloody vampires? Unintentional bad puns are probably what should look for first. So… carry around salt, holy water, garlic, prayer book, all that jazz?” Wendy asked as she flipped through the book a little more.
“Hey- shush.” Jenn laughed in return to Wendy’s pun comment before listening to her question. “For the most part don’t bother with anything but a stake and the holy water for vampires, all that other crap is just a huge waste of time… Well technically the cross works, but it is dreadfully inefficient to fight with. If you want you can wear jewelry of them, that sometimes can prove helpful in a pinch.” she replied, crossing her arms.
She nodded. “Right- acquire crucifix, carry holy water and a stake. Any other pointers?” Wendy asked. This was going to be very weird, but very, VERY exciting. She couldn’t help the grin that was spreading across her face.

She nodded and started poring over the book immediately. Some of the creatures in it she recognized from her years of hearing stories and reading in the dark corners of the library- vampire, werewolf, lamia, ghost, banshee, zombie, redcap, succubus, incubus, kappa, selkie, grindylow… the list went on. Then it started to stray from her areas of expertise- naga, black dog, ghost light, hinkypunk.
“So… what have you actually gone up against?” Wendy asked as she looked up from the book briefly, her face serious.
“Generally the most common thing I see are vampires, annoying buggers are a lot like cockroaches, tend to get involved in all sorts of things. Disappearances, murder, artifact theft, cults, etc. Of course, you know me well enough that I have never once skipped out on anything werewolf related. Demons were rare but I’m not complaining. And I had a one off of zombies, poltergeist, and don’t quote me on this last one but I think I caught a glimpse at the Jersey Devil.” the PI listed off on her fingers. “Expect vampires basically, loads of bloody vampires.” she huffed in annoyance.
She laughed. “Bloody vampires? Unintentional bad puns are probably what should look for first. So… carry around salt, holy water, garlic, prayer book, all that jazz?” Wendy asked as she flipped through the book a little more.

Now it was Wendy’s turn to have her jaw sag. There was an impressive array of knives and guns, as well as a few crossbows. She picked up a simple silver dagger with Latin carved into its metal surface. “This… is… SO COOL,” she said, a smile spreading across her face. “Seriously! You have the Mecca of anti-creeper weaponry here!”
Jenn smiled in amusement at Wendy’s wonder, glad to impress her. “Why thank you, I’m flattered.” she replied putting her hand over her chest and giving a small bow. “What’s mine is yours, just take care not to use it against me alright?” she joked with a gentle smile. “As for books…” she mumbled before glancing over her shoulder at one of the three bookshelves parallel to her desk. “Shit- what should I…” the girl debated what to grab from the variety of tombs, books and occasional scrolls. Eventually she pulled out a thin leather bound crimson book with the words “The Secret World” written on the front in a neat script. “To be honest, I am just starting to get familiar with the vastness of the paranormal world… but this book right here could be considered as an ‘hitchhiker’s guide’ so to speak. Read it though whenever you get the chance, then afterwards your education on the subject is completely up to you.” Jenn explained formally, placing the book into Wendy’s hands.
She nodded and started poring over the book immediately.

Wendy blinked. “Not human?” she echoed. She took a deep breath and let it out. “Well, as long as he doesn’t try to kill, eat, rape, or enslave me or steal my soul… I’m fine with that,” she said after a long moment. She had to chuckle at the way Jenn’s jaw sagged.
“Honey, I’ve lived on the street for a while now- you see shit that isn’t really able to be explained. And, well,” she turned a faint shade of pink, “it’s one of the only things I have left of my family; our motto- Credendo Vides. By believing, one sees. If I didn’t live up to that, I’d have nothing left of them,” she finished quietly.
There was a brief moment of silence. “Now, you said that I have weapons to get used to and things to study?” she asked, smiling and raising an eyebrow.
“No, he might flirt shamelessly with you and give you nightmares however.” Jenn commented. “His name is Pitch, technically he is ‘the boogeyman’. Nice enough guy though… unless you piss him off, but it’s not like Luigi or anything.” she said raising her hands and using a couple motions as she talked. “I love your motto already, because he is invisible unless you believe in his existence anyways. I’m sure that would have been awkward, this whole explaining thing is getting on the awkward side too so I’ll just let you two meet whenever and go from there.” she sighed.
The mention of weapons drew her attention back “Weapons, right! I have quite the collection with all the ‘gifts’ I got from Luigi. Whether shooting or slicing takes your fancy, I have it.” Jenn commented smugly before unlocking a large metal cabinet behind her work desk and throwing open the doors, reveling an impressive display of stockpiled weaponry. “Pick whatever is to your fancy, you need to be prepared to protect yourself if things go sour after all.” she told Wendy calmly. “Although I’m fairly sure you can handle yourself, I do have dummies lying around you can practice on at your leisure.” she finished off, feeling oddly like an instructor of some sort.
Now it was Wendy’s turn to have her jaw sag. There was an impressive array of knives and guns, as well as a few crossbows. She picked up a simple silver dagger with Latin carved into its metal surface. “This… is… SO COOL,” she said, a smile spreading across her face. “Seriously!

“I haven’t heard much from him- thankfully, he’s stopped trying to hunt me down, so it’s a little safer for me to move around,” she said. “And… uh… thanks for the offer… I think I’ll take you up on it.” A real house with an actual floor that she could sleep on would be a hell of a lot more comfortable than what she was usually used to.
Then she had an idea. “Jenn… d’you think I could tag along on one of your jobs? I mean, if that’s all right with you. I don’t want to intrude/encroach/whatever, but… maybe I can get a gig like you. Lord knows I need the money and I can’t sponge off your charity forever,” Wendy said, fiddling with the hem of her sweater.
Jenn was happy to hear Wendy accept her invitation to stay the winter, to be honest it would be nice to live with another human female companion for a bit. They would be able to relate and talk about things, normal things.
The concept of Wendy tagging along with her for an investigation did seem to make Jenn ponder. Looking at the positives, despite her situation Wendy was indeed very smart and resourceful, along as sharing with her an impeccable ability not to die easily. The only thing that was concerning her was if she would be able to handle herself if things came down to a brawl, which half the time it did. After a decent pause the woman finally made up her mind. “You are going to have to study a bit and get familiar with some weapons, but I would enjoy the assistance.” she replied with a soft smile, how could she possibly say no to an old friend like Wendy?
She then realized the one detail she forgot to mention, “Oh I forgot to say, you will have to mind my um- ‘boyfriend’ because he generally shows up whenever he feels like it and let’s himself in… the only thing is… how should I put this…” she started to trail off, unsure how she wanted to explain the situation. “He isn’t really… human?” she finally let it slip from her lips, deciding truth was the best option. Wendy appeared to be on some level of believing the paranormal investigations job, maybe she would believe in the boogeyman as well? To be honest it came as a bit of a surprise to Jenn that she was being as open minded as she was.
Wendy blinked. “Not human?” she echoed. She took a deep breath and let it out. “Well, as long as he doesn’t try to kill, eat, rape, or enslave me or steal my soul… I’m fine with that,” she said after a long moment. She had to chuckle at the way Jenn’s jaw sagged.

Wendy blinked. “Paranormal investigator? Huh. And I thought that being a Ghost Buster wasn’t an actual occupation,” she said with a chuckle. “As for me… eh… I’ve been getting by. Moving my crap below ground to find someplace warm before winter really hits.” Then she pauses and thinks back on what Jenn had said. “Wait. Someone MORE obnoxious than Luigi? Is that even possible?”
Jenn laughed lightly “Well it’s not something I generally put on my resumé, but when it pays, it pays very well.” she explained. She frowned slightly at Wendy’s housing issue, if it wasn’t dumpsters or street corners it was something else. “Hey, if you are in that much of a predicament I insist you lounge with me this winter.” she told the woman firmly. “I travel, so I’m not in my house all the time anyways.” she admitted with a shrug. “I have seen all sorts of monsters, we have to at least give credit to Luigi for still looking somewhat normal. Heck even Pavi too, unless recent surgeries gave him an exoskeleton.” she joked. “As for someone more obnoxious… eh- do you mind updating me on Luigi right now before I draw an accurate comparison?” she asked. “What has he been up to?
What’s his relationship status? Does he mention me anymore?Any horrible stories or tragic victims I should know of?” she huffed, crossing her arms. It had been a while since she had received any word at all from ‘surgery city’.
“I haven’t heard much from him- thankfully, he’s stopped trying to hunt me down, so it’s a little safer for me to move around,” she said. “And… uh… thanks for the offer… I think I’ll take you up on it.” A real house with an actual floor that she could sleep on would be a hell of a lot more comfortable than what she was usually used to.

“Paranormal investigator, work on keeping the supernatural in line as well as learning about them. Would you be shocked to know I actually managed to find some things with a more obnoxious mug than Sanitarium’s own Luigi Largo~?
That cunt, I miss him AND hate him.How have you been doing lovely?” [Leans against doorway casually]
