[For Anita] This isn't raising the dead, but it's still a tad spooky...

Hisoka steps out of the trees and into the clearing that holds the stone table. The leaves are turning and there is a carpet of them lying on the ground, and they rustle faintly under his feet. It is very late afternoon, and the sun will be setting before too long. And after that, the moon, only two days waned from the full, will be rising

The stone table has bothered Anita ever since that night when she and the now vanished Adaon ended up investigating a blood moon.

That would be why she comes to it again on her walk, and pauses by the clearing's entrance, just observing.

Picking up scents, as it were.

Hisoka looks up to see Anita at the edge of the trees. He doesn't recognize her face, but he is immediately sure she is not new to the Mansion. "Hello," he says. His voice has a faint echo, in the still, cool air.

"Hi," Anita replies quietly. "Don't think we've met before."

Who are you?

"We haven't. I'm Hisoka Kurosaki."

Just another stranger in a strange land.
