Network | Text Post - October 13 - On the trail of the Lullaby Girl
Who: Yelena Belova
Username: jelica
Warnings: supernaturally-induced sleep/fatigue, auditory hallucinations, religion and damnation, death by fire, child harm
I've been looking for the source of the graveyard music, like I'm sure half of us are. I haven't been able to pinpoint where it's originating from within the city, but I have found a hole in the net. There's no music in the graveyard at the Holy Light Church, and I don't think it has anything to do with its geographic location.
I wouldn't consider it a safe haven, if you're trying to escape the effects. The people belonging to the church are unpleasant, and very territorial, and any more potential converts will probably start to strain credulity. They're very concerned with hell and damnation and being judged by their god.
[There's a series of pictures of stained glass windows and paintings, taken from a slightly odd angle, probably covertly.
They all seem to feature eyes very heavily.]
Their choice of decorating may not actually be telling, but it is very interesting.
I've had a little more success looking for where the threat originally started. Gloucester isn't the only place that's had to deal with the music. It's been happening up and down the northern part of the Eastern Seaboard for the past decade, always between September and December.
The very first incident was in Wolf Trap, Virginia, ten years ago. Not long before the music started, there was a house fire in the town. The only survivor was the family's 10-year-old daughter, Amber.
[Only a single picture this time, a newspaper reprint of a family photo. Those who were present at the nightmare version of the previous year's Hallowe'en party might recognize the girl in the photo as someone who bears a striking resemblance to Ava, the Lullaby Girl.]
She vanished into the foster system very quickly. It may be possible to find out where she went, and to track down the "Mr. S" who's been aiming her from there, but it will take some time.

I don't think we can say any more than that for certain until we find her in the real world. Maybe she keeps aging like a human being, but avatars are fucking weird, so we might still be looking for something that looks like a little girl when she's awake, too. Especially if she's like Ren, and died to become what she is.
As for her thought process, the juvenile demeanor might have been an act. People find monstrous children more unsettling than monstrous adults, so it could be a part of how she feeds. But the trauma of the fire and of becoming a dream monster might have also prevented her from actually growing up. We can't assume she can be reasoned with like an adult, or that she'll react like one to threats.

Probably hasn't had any sort of check on her.
God.
On the one hand, that's awful for everyone she's hurt.
On the other, thinking of a kid and a teenager going through all of that alone?
If her mind's gone round the twist, it's easy to understand why.
no subject
If she hasn't been alone, then whoever she's been with has probably been making her worse.

I wish we had more to go on.
Don't suppose any of the articles you read mentioned anyone with an S name?
Then again, every 'Smith' in America is going to be suspicious going off of that.
no subject
There was nothing that jumped out from the articles. There are other avenues to pursue, but they'll take a little more time.
no subject
Don't like just waiting for something terrible to start happening.

Thanks, Yelena!
You're a clever peach, as always.
