If no one has brought any ideas on how to figure this Soul-Snatching Painting thing out, you doubt anyone in this truck has a clue on what to do. Better to rely on the expertise of others than bash your head trying to figure out a solution! And you know no better person for this kind of job than a professional!
“Should we call Fiora? Isn’t she some kind of paranormal detective?” You wonder if the lady in black really gets paid for this stuff.
“That’s the mysterious lady that you and Gio talked about, right?” Scarlet remembers from before the mission.
“It’s indeed the case.” Suan De confirms.
“More intriguing names are being thrown out.” Lady Steen will take notes.
“Sounds like a scam.” On the other hand, Neko is unimpressed.
“You tell me, I don’t have a clue how she managed to make anyone take her seriously.” Odetta never explicitly told people she spies them with her ghost powers, yet some people actively believe Fiora can see the spirits? It’s hard to believe… until you realize some people like having their fortune read… and add that what Fiora does is real. “Call your fellow lamp post, if she has no clue, we’re screwed.”
“She’s tall? I imagined her, like, 4 feet tall.” Vera is a crazy lady. What did she *actually* imagine when you brought her up to date on everything? “By the way, stop calling him <span class="mu-i">Lamp post</span>, it’s getting old!!!”
“Stop shouting, he’s about to make the call.” Dossenius is curious about this himself.
“Gimme a sec, everyone.” You pull out your phone and dial Fiora’s number. “Hey, Fiora, it’s me! Johnny!”
“Hi there, Johnny. I’m pleased to hear your voice. How did your little escapade go?” Fiora wonders. Did Odetta tell her about the details?
“Great! Even better than expected, in fact, we got our hands onto something neither of us saw coming.” You cheerfully reply. “And we need your help to figure this one out. Can you lend a hand? Look, even Odetta is asking!” You put the phone near Odetta’s face.
“Do it or I’ll make you admit you just got out of the shower.” Odetta threatens.
“It’s not going to kill you to be genuine for a sec.” Crossbill scolds the ghost for a moment.
“Quite the esoteric threat...” Fiora doesn’t know how to respond. Makes you wonder if what Spooky is saying is true. “That aside, Of course, I’ll provide the help you need within my means. Explain the situation.”
You explain what’s going on! The strange painting itself, the strange aura surrounding it, the place that you found it in, and everything that could clue her in on what to do! Fiora asks for a moment to seek information from her texts. Then relies instructions through you for Odetta to look into the painting’s curse. After some back and forth, Fiora has made her deductions.
