[laudna can be found a little later at the haunted house, a ballgown-looking dress spread out on one of the beds as she starts to examine it for rips and wrinkles. also, there's a leech still stuck on her neck and arm and she doesn't seem to have noticed.]
[laudna is out this morning exploring the new housing arrangements. she's peaking at the mortuary plaque at the moment, looking at the new names. she's wearing her gown, but she has black ink on the skin on her body that matches the black tree branches that make up the lace portion of her bodice and skirt. occasionally words appear in the ink. right now, visible is You'll never be free of her.]
Vin, good morning. So you're living here, now? How fun!
[we can have fun with affection week if we want...but also, let's check out the creepy location full of insanely powerful magical items we can only get if we do murders?]
[laudna is standing at the bottom of the radio tower. her thought share is manifesting right now as just a few flowers dancing around her head; she seems to be in a good mood. but she's also looking up at the top of the tower.
when laudna finds her, she's in the radio tower, tucked into a corner. her legs are pressed up against her chest and her face is resting against her knees. her shoulders are shaking a little, but she looks up and blinks, rubbing quickly at her eyes once she realizes she isn't alone.]
[she's on the way to the swamp when she sees laudna! there are still a bunch of glass shards of varying size poking out of her and she's going a lot of blood on her, as well as a slash on her upper arm.
[after trial, she's just at the haunted house, but she's easy to find; sitting outside on the steps, working on the finishing touches of a doll. she looks up and smiles.]
...Hello, Vin.
[it's not as though it escaped her notice vin was angry with her before. her emotions are cold, grief but there's also a stubbornness there. she doesn't feel guilt.]
[Laudna is one of the loneliest ponies in all of Ponyville. She may have a long beautiful mane and shining horn, but other ponies gossip about her. She's awkward, creepy, has no friends. Her cutie mark is a dead rat. The other ponies avoid her. But one day, a new pony comes into town. Vin is a brave and popular pony, loved by all of the other ponies.
Laudna doesn't expect Vin to talk to her, but when they meet one morning at the pony farmer's market, she blushes when she catches Vin's eye and sees her silky mane.

anyway, laudna can be found in the midst of trying to pop a dislocated joint out of place on her arm.]
Do be careful wandering about tonight. It seems a bit risky at the moment.

Be careful out there. The path is rather unclear, and there are a great deal of spiders.
