A colorful polka-dot file cabinet holds Ginevra's important files. The fifth and largest bottom drawer is labeled PARIS and contains all documentation related to her search.
ENTRY ONE: A photocopy of a letter from Ginevra to Jacque Beaumont.
GINEVRA: Dear Msr. Beaumont,
Events in Paris have become somewhat overwhelming, so while I would normally never contact you this way, I find myself in need of your advice. I hope it is not too much of an imposition.
Put quite simply, my employer seems to have vanished, and no one has any idea where she is. I have been unable to find her through conventional means or by speaking to the other workers in the city. It's as if she just vanished, right off the face of the earth. She's been gone for weeks now and I am starting, quite frankly, to panic.
I'm sure you have a great deal to do yourself, since you were forced to leave the city so quickly, but any help you could provide, even just a little advice, would be greatly appreciated.
Yours, Ginevra Bianchi.
ENTRY TWO: A photocopy of a letter from Ginevra to Antoinette d'Exupery.
GINEVRA: To Madame D'Exupery:
I hope this letter finds you well. I write in service of my employer, Ms. Maeve Glaistig of the House of Sage, in the hopes of gaining additional insight into providing for her needs.
Ms. Glaistig has elected to conduct some business out of the eye of the general public, and while this is not out of the ordinary, I am hoping to anticipate her return in order to best serve her requirements at that time. Since she cannot be contacted via normal avenues at this time, I turn to you in the hopes that she has confided additional contact information to you or to your employer.
As always, I hope that your nights run smoothly, and that the office of Harpy weighs on your employers with all due respect and enjoyment.
Ginevra Bianchi, on behalf of Maeve Glaistig, of the House of Sage.
ENTRY THREE: A series of notes by Ginevra on pink notebook paper, surrounded by doodles.
GINEVRA: Elysium, November 14.
Madame D'Expury: She had received my note but did not respond as she said she had no further information. She expressed interest in what Maeve might be doing, probably on the Harpy's behalf.
Walter Pecheur: Had not noticed that Maeve was not at court lately, but promised to help if possible. Did not seem hopeful about the offer.
Veronique DuBray: Chatted for a little while (she is acquainted with Msr. Beaumont from some time ago). Suggested patience and not to worry - they sometimes just disappear and it's usually harmless.
Ms. Marie: Claimed that she might have heard something, but got evasive and vague when pressed for details. She works for the Lesser Harpy, and might just have been trying to see what I already knew. In the end, suggested I was "out of my depth" and left to talk to someone else. I don't think she actually knows anything?
Manolo D'Artagnan: Expressed unfounded and frankly insulting opinion that Maeve must have run off with the local Brujah Primogen. He suggested she would "turn up" when she "got bored".
Lali: Claimed she saw Maeve in a dream, and she was being devoured by someone named Villon. Did not seem especially coherent overall. Dreams don't count.
Simon DuBois: Noted that the Primogen was also wondering where she went, so they're just as clueless as we are. He suggested I get in touch with the Nosferatu ghouls... but didn't know how to find them.
Vitus: Said she wasn't at court and he'd know if she were, but vague on the details of how. Seemed to think she might have gone back to Milan for some reason, but she wouldn't have just left me here like that. He was very confused and I left him alone after a while - he looked like something bad might have happened to him in the recent past. Poor guy.
Trivia
- Although Maeve mentions having seen Chas the night before, she is lying; she was actually with Hope and doesn't want Ian to know about it.
- This marks the first time Ian and Maeve officially attend Limbo together instead of splitting up or meeting during the event.
- The watch under discussion here is a silver and blue Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36mm self-winding watch and retails for approximately $5,600.
- The car Maeve refers to at the end of the scene is the black Jaguar that was given to Ian by Cynthia Black, the same person who gave him the watch.
