Pursued Thread 1

The drive to town is short, and you reach it by 6am.

The town is filled with fog in the cold morning light, and the buildings are drab and grey brick. White picket fences surround houses in the residential suburbs.

Shops are closed this early, and as you drive through the streets, there doesn't appear to be anyone awake yet.
 
I go to the notice board by the library to learn about the town.

Hopefully there is some useful information and its not just tourist crap.
 
The notice board includes:

1. A poster about a town party coming up the next night, the same one that the letter from earlier invited Mortem and a guest too. It seems Piscantur has been invited to the upper gardens of the host party, while the general public are invited to mingle in the lower gardens.

2. A request from a Miss Olga to find a missing cat named Jasmine.

3. A notice for a baking recipe enthusiast meeting at the library today at 9:30am.

4. A notice for an occultist enthusiasts meeting at the library today at 9:00am.

5. A notice for a horse riding enthusiast meeting at the library today at 10am.

6. Advertisements for various shops and services including a pharmacy, a new hospital wing addition, and bakery.

A car rolls up behind you. A policeman steps out and walk up the library stairs to you.

"Morning gentlemen. And lady. Lovely morning isn't it? What are you doing out so early?"
 
"Oh, I see haha. No clocks in your house? Perhaps you should stop by the clockmaker on Addison Street."

He pauses.

"If you're here for groceries, why are you at the library? The grocery shop is down Davenport"
 
"Hmm sights? Ain't none of those in our little town. If you want to have a look around, this town might not be the right place for you"

He's still smiling.

"Enjoy the library. Keep out of trouble"

He tips his hat and goes back to his car and drives off.

"No problem." I say giving the officer's retreating figure a wave.

"........ well this is boring, Imma go nap in the car until places open." With that I head back to our transport.

[Inb4 more eldritch nightmares Opposite sides of the globe to Monarch is literally me rn.]
 
Three hours later you are awakened by the sound of people beginning to wander around outside your car.

It's 9AM
 
I panic for a moment, reaching for my dynamite, and not finding it. Then I begin fidgeting and looking at the people, before finally realizing that this means the library is open.

I step outside, perform a guts pose, and yell out "BOOKS!"
 
I refrain from getting out until after Astefon has moved further away, wouldn't do to be seen associating with such an odd fellow. Good thing he hadn't woken me or I might have taken a shot by accident.
 
This book has got me hooked. I honestly can't believe in it's quality.

However wrote it must be almost as smart as me...
