 As they walk, the four Sin-Eaters feel their geists perk up and flex their strengths a bit, and each is struck by strange, inhuman urges. Isobel is struck with the sudden desire to cut someone open and remove their organs violently, while Peter suddenly wants to find someone truly happy, and arrange a fatal accident to crush that joy. They both tamp down on their desires, realizing that their geists are the source. Anita has the urge to set someone on fire, and pulls out a book of matches from her pocket before she can stop herself. David is the worst-affected; as they reach the Blue Silk Brothel a female ghost resembling a hooker from the 1970s steps out, and David cracks her jaw with a brutal left hook! The others gape as the ghost reels back crying, and David looks mortified at his loss of control and immediately apologizes. As they walk, the four Sin-Eaters feel their geists perk up and flex their strengths a bit, and each is struck by strange, inhuman urges.

-[[wod:characters:ghost_madam|The madam]] steps out and eyes the group; the injured hooker eyes her and then David before pulling something squishy out of her bra and shoving it into David's hand. She flees down the hallway and the madam stiffly asks David if he's challenging her control of the brothel. David firmly assures her that he is not, he simply lost control for a split-second and he apologizes again. Peter admits he had strange urges as well, and Anita concurs. They all eye Isobel, who nods reluctantly. David looks down at the goop in his hand, which has the consistency of runny eggs. The madam informs him that he's holding the ejaculate from her previous client, and she apparently gave it as "tribute" to David as if he was her pimp; David hurriedly gives the mass to the madam as a peace offering – and to get it out of his hands.+[[wod:characters:madam|The madam]] steps out and eyes the group; the injured hooker eyes her and then David before pulling something squishy out of her bra and shoving it into David's hand.

 Isobel hands David a wet-nap to clean his hands as Peter asks Melissa how many "areas" they have to get through to get out of the Underworld; she replies five. Peter and Melissa establish a rough set of guidelines about what to ask and what not to ask, as they're obviously two different "groups of strangeness." Melissa heads on, and the Sin-Eaters follow in her wake. They depart the hallway without further problems and find the dead vines in the garden still twitching. They head towards the shattered pane of glass, and Melissa tells them to link hands in a human chain; it's very easy to get lost in the next area. Isobel hands David a wet-nap to clean his hands as Peter asks Melissa how many "areas" they have to get through to get out of the Underworld; she replies five.

 Melissa counsels them to stay on the street, as some of the buildings are occupied by the dead and most don't like to be disturbed . Peter admits to Melissa that he's a low-ranking beat cop while Isobel wraps Anita's wound quickly and they resume walking. Melissa admits she's going to make a side-stop here in the "city" quickly, and they should remain on the street. The Sin-Eaters note that the buildings are impacted against each other, but a few have tiny spans between them. Fifteen minutes later Melissa stops in front of what looks like a storefront church, complete with grimy windows and a cross of plywood in the front. She walks up to the blue door and knocks three times, then once more. Melissa counsels them to stay on the street, as some of the buildings are occupied by the dead and most don't like to be disturbed .

-As the Sin-Eaters wait, they look up idly to the street lights, and realize the "lights" are actually bound, burning ghosts! They turn when they hear the door open, and spot someone in a nun's habit, although they can't get many details as Melissa is blocking their view. They hear a whisper of conversation and catch "Sister Charlotte" and "slavers." Melissa turns away and they catch a glimpse of "Sister Charlotte," she's in a full nun's habit and has bright green eyes – but the rest of her flesh is desiccated like dried leather, and is stretched over her skull. Sister Charlotte crosses herself and says a quick prayer in their general direction, which they believe was a Latin Catholic prayer for safe travels. Sister Charlotte closes the door as Melissa rejoins them.+As the Sin-Eaters wait, they look up idly to the street lights, and realize the "lights" are actually bound, burning ghosts!

 Melissa reports that the next area ahead is an industrial zone known to harbor gangs of slavers, and some have been spotted there recently. Peter asks, "The bloody-eyed Smithies?" and Melissa shrugs and replies that not all of them appear to be Smith College students. The Sin-Eaters admit they have had a few run-ins with the bloody-eyed ghosts, and Anita jokes about the "not-quite-dead" with Melissa. There is a brief discussion if they want to risk the industrial zone, but Peter votes for forging ahead and pulls out his Smith & Wesson Model 500 hand-cannon. Melissa eyes the revolver and asks if he's compensating for something, but Peter insists the gun is actually very accurate; he's won marksman tournaments with it. Melissa derides Peter as "Captain Sparky," which the krewe decides is Peter's new nickname. Melissa reports that the next area ahead is an industrial zone known to harbor gangs of slavers, and some have been spotted there recently.
