She takes the money and puts it in her register, "Oh yea, just go down Main st. When you hit the ocean bear right. Then when you get to the square, its right in front of. Its the little stretch that leads out to the wharfs. And you'll see all the artists there, you can't miss 'em."

"Thank you, Miss," says Eddie, ready to leave as soon as the others are.

Richard continues to look out the back door to see what he can make out.

OOC:   Warren, Richard did not buy the hammer Norman did

.
"Sorry, employees only in the lumber yard," she says as she shuts the door.

Scott watches the exchange wordlessly.

'A town with no maps? Something was WRONG with them? That seems odd.' he thinks to himself.

Charles thinks to himself that he wonders why Warren is asking something like that. Didn't Sonny say something about it? He feels uncomfortably and that something is wrong. He takes a breath and then opens the door to the store to see what's happening inside. He's heard some of the conversation and made out something about maps. Thinking about if he ever DID hear Sonny mention an aunt, thinking he must have done so, he walks into the store to see whats seems to be next on the agenda.

Alyssa stood there longer then she realized, staring down Main St then to Broadway and down the other stretch of Main St. The roads set ahead of her seemed equally as far as she could see, yet Alyssa has only known one straight line, and that was terrifying and different to her. Playing with the motorcycle key in her coat pocket, Alyssa invites her arm out for Aunt Loosa, "shall we make our way back Aunt Loosa?" Preserving what's left of her polite fiction, Alyssa smiles welcomingly despite what she had faced earlier.

Richard smiles as the lady shuts the door to the back and responds "Well I appreciate your time you have a plesant day" and turns and walks out of the store.

After walking out of the store Richard places the shovel in the car then Richard walks to the street corner that the hardware store sits on and looks down the street towards the back of the hardware store. Checking out the make up of the fence and how far back it goes. He also checks out what is behind the property that the hardware store sits on (farmland, another store, a house, a forest, a hill?) and any buildings that are close that are tall enough to see over the fence.

Behind the lumber store is the 6' fence. With a boost or standing on anything you could see over it pretty easily. Behind the fence is vacant land.
On the South side of the store is a residential home, 2 story. You could easily see over the fence from a 2nd story window or the roof.

Richard walks over to the car again and stands next to the drivers door waiting on the others to come out.

Eddie leaves the store with the others. "Definitely something hinky going on there," he says. "She seemed very surprised to see us, and that thing with the maps sounds ridiculous. I'm also wondering if there's something going on in that lumber yard."

Warren Kaine:

Leaving the store, I walk over to where Richard stands by the car, "So how do you want to play this?"

Scott follows Richard and Warren out of the store and rubs his chin thoughtfully looking between the two men.

"Well that was bizarre." he mutters, hitching a thumb over his shoulder towards the store. "I vote we make our way down towards the pier that was in the postcard. Seems as good a place to start as any."

Charles realizes that the others are about to leave again. Feeling like he's not clear on what's about to happen next he walks after the others against the car.

Alyssa arrives back to the parked vehicles, "happen to find direction?" Alyssa inquires.

Richard responds to Warren "I am not sure what is going on here, that women was making a lobster trap big enough to hold a large man in the back, she also had a shed marked explosives back there but they may be normal for a hardware store out here in the sticks like this. I say we go check into the Woods House and see if we can find any normal people hanging around maybe they will be a little more informative."

"I got directions to the art convention," says Eddie, "but I was told there are no maps of Rockport. Strange, that. Explosives could be normal. People use them to blow up stumps all the time. Yeah, let's check in first."
