	ContactIntro "Hail traveller. Stay a moment... I greet you and thank you
for spending time with the departed. In life I was Celestine the Wise. I led an
Order of Valkyries charged with... charged with... I fear my memory of things
Mortals and the Dead should not know has fled me. I only know that since my
demise at the hands of one of the Order I have been unable to find rest. My mind
ever wandering. Hmm? No I do not think there's anything anyone can do. The Order
has Fallen. They are little nor than Fallen Angels now. That's not quite
right... they are far more Vengeful. Perhaps one should call them Furies now...
their new Pinnacle certainly exemplifies that ideal. If you wished to know more
I might point you in the right direction, were it not so hazardous. *she kinda
of makes a dismissive wave in the direction one wouold take and an image forms
there* *she quickly makes it disappear* I sometimes forget I am Dead. The magics
of the dead are strange. *you saw where that is and could find it easily*"
	ContactSendOff "You leave so soon? I fully understand, $origin. I too would
love to leave such a story to be untold. I wish it did not spring from my lips
so readily. May you travel well and lightly of heart, $origin."
	ContactDeclineSendOff ""
	ContactStillBusy "You seem troubled by something. You are investigating
what? Could the Story of the Fall not be a closed book afterall? There are many
in the Order unwillingly turned from Grace. You should probably be helping them
not chatting with someone who is Dead. If there is a way I might be of service -
even in this state - please return."
	ContactReturnSuccess "I sense something linked to the order upon you. No
you will not have to hold it for me. I may still touch the world of Mortals - to
tread in the halls of thhe Order would be impossible. How to explain this before
I read... I am like a well preserved well armed Sapient Zombie. I am not
suddenly mortal so I need not sleep or eat... but I ramble. forgive me. *she
reads the parchment* This details everything from Belladonna's bargaining up to
my slaughter. The Ink is still wet. Perhaps this could all become an unpleasant
memory. I could rerite it with the right materials. However I may not acquire
them myself... I can see them in my mind's eye *an image appears behind her
detailing where in the Order's safehold the Ink is kept.... you could get
there... far from impossible for you who are not barred from entry*"
	ContactReturnFail "You should thank your fortunes that you let live. I must
say I am grateful for your dangerous attempt. Come we should have your injuries
looked over."
