My name is Esme Grigore.

There is no need to explain to me the nature of this place - I know it well enough, and the changes in it have already been told to me by my sister in 1203. I have also been told that, on the full moon night several months ago, she was harmed.

I would like to say, just to be clear, that if anyone sees fit to do her harm again, on a full, waxing, waning, or new moon, they will have me to reckon with.

That aside.

Reading the tarot is my business, and you'll find my readings more accurate than your average new age street woman with a veil and a deck of new cards that she thinks make her qualified. If you would like to schedule a reading, you need only contact me.

I would like to settle here with a minimum of trouble. Leave me be, and I will do the same for you. you know who you are

I would guess you are Van Helsing.

And you would guess wrong. But you are close.

A friend, then. Ages since I read the book. I know Jonathan Harker's identity, and you don't seem very much like a cowboy. The lovestruck fiancee? Or the psychologist?

The psychologist. John Seward. You're familiar with the story. I hadn't read it in ages, but I refreshed myself when I found out about myself.

As did I, about the Baba Yaga.

Who is Van Helsing, then?

I don't think it's my place to tell you that, unfortunately enough. He is a good man, though. I've known him since before coming to Bellum.

Cynical. Anti-social. I think he spends most of his days complaining about the world or hiding from it in his apartment. Charming man, really.

That sounds right.

You'll have to forgive my curiosity. This building makes me question many things.

Curiosity is fine, though now you've sparked my curiosity as to why you're asking after Aiden Van Helsing. Our fables are not connected, are they? I think I would have recalled that.

I knew him. no not Not him, the man before him.

[Pause]

I replaced someone, in coming here. Much as he did, I think.

...replaced?

I don't understand.

Replaced. I was Baba Yaga. I left, there was one after me. She left, and I am here.

It is much the same, I think, with Van Helsing.

But Emil did not leave.

What happened to Emil, then?

I hadn't heard about this happening. Different versions of the fables... I thought only one existed.
