"JEAN_19","""Yes, though it was all Tom's idea in the first place. I think it was rather a stroke of brilliance to bring several...like-minded individuals together. But I imagine Tom has a whole speech planned to introduce you to our work. I could not possibly spoil it for him."" Gain 1 Clue."
"JEAN_25","""Yes, Tom likes to play everything close to the chest. If you have not experienced that already, I am sure you will soon."" Gain 1 Clue."
"JEAN_26","Jean pulls a book down from the shelf, examines it, then replaces it."
"JEAN_1A"," ""Read anything good?"""
"JEAN_1B","""Lately? Many things. Tom is just starting to pay attention to his book collection, but he has already acquired some pretty interesting pieces. Most of those are kept quite safe, but being a personal assistant does have its perks. A peek here, a peek there. Tom does not really mind."" Gain 1 Clue."
"JEAN_21","Jean pages furiously through a tome."
"JEAN_22","""I went for a book Tom had been keeping from me, of course. It is rightfully mine, you know. I was promised it in my contract. Then all copies of my contract conveniently no longer reflected that fact after he saw how valuable it was. I do not know how he did it–mundanely or with whatever other secrets he has been keeping from us. Anyway, that was what I was doing, and now I am trying to figure out just what he was trying to do here."""
"JEAN_23","""You know who really was out for Tom? Leland. Tom and I were undercutting his prices on similar artifacts for months now. I do not think he could stand the competition."""
"JEAN_24","""Oh! Elizabeth. Her late husband was caught up with Tom in some strange business I would not touch with a ten foot pole. She probably thinks Tom got him killed. And, after seeing Tom's spirit, she might even be right. He was clearly up to things he should not have been."""
"JEAN_GUESTS","""I do not spend a lot of time with everyone else, but I suppose I know a little about most of them."""
"JEAN_03B","""Bruce I have only met a few times, though I have done a little work for Bruce's father. It was all arranged through Thomas."""

"MAY_16","""Oh, yes,"" she gestures at the sword on his wall, ""Boys and their swords. I swear he has spent more time with that thing than he has with me lately. He really knows how to put a girl out. Now, you have missed the first rule of etiquette and made a lady sad. I think we will call this conversation done for now."" Gain 1 Clue."
"MAY_17","May laughs, but you detect something different about her ()."
"MAY_18","You realize she is laughing to cover up her obvious discomfort about her past. Afraid of probing too deeply and making her suspicious, you graciously allow the conversation to die. Gain 1 Clue."

"MAY_20","""Oh, yes, just ask Tom about the time we attended a party and convinced all the other guests I was a princess from halfway across the world. I got to eat all the best food first. Oh, but I am telling you too much when we have only just met. I need to save some of my charming conversation for dinner at least."" Gain 1 Clue."
"MAY_26","""Now, what can I help you with?"""
"MAY_27","May sips from her drink."
"MAY_1A"," ""Having fun?"""
"MAY_1B","""Darling, if you are not having fun at a party, you are doing something wrong. There are always so many dour faces at Tom's, it is downright depressing. Do me–no, do yourself a favor and do not be like them."""
"MAY_1C","""I will not be."""
"MAY_1D","""Dour faces?"""
"MAY_1E","May smiles. ""Good. Because I cannot take another person worrying too much. It is bad for my complexion. {0} is always walking around with a pinched face lately. It is disheartening."" Gain 1 Clue."

"MAY_23","""Now, who asks a lady about her business in the dark?"" The joke comes out flat, full of a nervous energy and punctuated by May's obvious distress, ""I suppose it would all come out sometime. That sword in the lounge, I have just been waiting for the opportunity to take it. Last I checked that makes me a thief, not a murderer. Carvey was good to me, most of the time."""
"MAY_24","""Honestly, I would not trust Leland as far as I could throw him. He likes to act all high and mighty, but I have seen what usually happens to his competitors. When Tom stopped just collecting things for him and went into selling them himself? That was a declaration of war in Leland's eyes, I am sure of it."""
"MAY_25","""Sure, Bruce is nervous. I would be, too, if I had a father like his. A nervous kid like that is probably just trying to find a way to take his father's attention off of him. I am not saying Bruce would have wanted to kill Tom, but if his father wanted Tom dead, well, maybe Bruce did not have a choice."""
"MAY_GUESTS","""Aw, c'mon, no one is going to be as fun as me,"" May sighs, ""Though I suppose I can tell you a few things."""
"MAY_03B","""Bruce is always nervous. Do not take it personally. He is kind of like those scared rabbits that are shaking all the time. You got to be gentle with him. Not that I can blame him. I hear his dad is a nightmare."""
"MAY_03E","""Elizabeth? Boring, but tolerable. She is probably in the kitchen causing the cook trouble."""
"MAY_03J","""Jean is a dear, but she definitely works too hard. Tom has her working day and night. She says she likes it, but I would love to take her dancing more."""
"MAY_03L","""One word about Leland: stodgy. I do not think we have had one nice thing to say about each other."""

"OLD_JOURNAL_2A","Thomas Carvey's entries reveal further occult practices and gatherings. He mentions by name the other guests, and it appears they each consider themselves neophytes of an order that pursues knowledge. The journal details several awful practices that required Carvey and his friends to sacrifice a human being.

"OLD_JOURNAL_2B","In an entry dated recently, Thomas Carvey mentions that he now fears his fellow novices. He speaks of justice and of vengeance, and how to appeal to a power greater than mortals to ""protect his interests.""

"OLD_JOURNAL_3","Carvey's entries grow more paranoid and delusional after he takes his mysterious precautions. On some pages the pen was pressed so hard into the paper that it leaves small tears.
