It’s stopped raining, although the slowly dawning day looks as if it might have a bit more to come. Several people seem to be about. Karl Anderson stands outside the door to room 6 and Hippo is slowly heading up the corridor with a can of soda clenched in his hand. As he moves he lets out the loudest and longest belch you have ever heard...

Hippo

"Good mornin' Clio!"

Karl Anderson

Karl nearly jumps out of his skin, thinking he's being attacked by an extinct warthog. He recovers himself, looks confusedly at his watch and wonders why he's standing outside room 6.

Todd Guzman

In room 4 Todd takes a quick shower then changes into fresh clothes. He freezes at an explosion from outside, wondering if the motel is under enemy fire then thinks: Hippo. He steps out of the room to see Karl looking uncertain. "Hey, buddy, how about we get some breakfast? Maybe Mr. Sawyer can fix us up. Then I think we all need to make some decisions."

Simon Quispe

Simon joins the team before the building. He is wearing clean clothes, including a TSF shirt.

Hippo

Hippo slaps Guzman on the back.

"Did I hear someone say breakfast? Well if that ain't the best idea anyone had since ..." Hippo trails off in confusion as if trying to access memories just out of reach.

Rutiger Paddington

I leave my room, impeccably dressed and freshened up.

I pretend not to hear the belch and head to the dining room for breakfast.

Todd Guzman

"You guys go ahead," Todd says, remembering something. He goes back in his room and grabs the tapes then heads out to the van. Surely there must be something to play them on among all the film equipment in there.

Gracie emerges from her room. She has on a similar T-shirt to Simon's. "Did someone mention breakfast?" she asks. "Great, I'm starved! After that, I think we need to go back to the crash scene and try to find out what happened to Lyn. Maybe now that there's light we'll be able to find out more."

Karl Anderson

Karl has a craving for bacon & waffles. "So, did everyone sleep ok?" he asks nervously. "I need a coffee before I can begin to think straight.."

OOC:   Are Lyn and Jennifer the same person?

Rutiger Paddington

"I had a weird vision before falling asleep.

I was partially sealed into the walls of a cave. It seemed that water deposits over a long time had sealed me in, making me part of the wall. All of a sudden, a deep and resoundingly haunting bellow or call echoed throughout the cave system, and I felt my jaw drop away unnaturally. Hundreds of tiny, featureless people ran up my throat and out of my mouth. The tiny things all linked up and headed off, en masse, to some far away location, harking to the call of heaven knows what.

Pretty trippy, huh? I'm thinking we had shrooms at some point, before the crash. Maybe we crashed because whoever was driving was also really high."

There is no dining room as such but there is a small diner opposite the motel. Within minutes those who want breakfast are able to get one, for those who are more in need of coffee, well there’s plenty, hot and strong...

OOC:   Yeah Jennifer and Lyn are the same. I don't know what happened and where Jennifer came from

Gracie orders French toast and coffee with cream and two sugars. "I had a freaky nightmare," she says with a shudder. "I was pregnant with squirmy wormy things, and so were lots of other people, both men and women."

Simon Quispe

Simon finds his companions' dreams utterly creepy...

"I keep getting these flashbacks... You and Lyn both want me to get a case, it must be something very important," he says to Tod Guzman.

Todd Guzman

"A case, huh?" Todd says, coming into the diner. "I had a flashback of Rutiger yelling at me about a camera then some horrible screaming. Thing is, all the camera and sound equipment is missing from the van. I'm guessing maybe we left them behind at this Cooper House."

OOC:   Priest, did I find anything on the tapes?

Todd Guzman

Karl Anderson

"Well I dreamt I was walking through a deserted city while surrounded by dead people. You know, the usual. Then a weird dude in yellow asked me if I'd seen the Yellow Sign. Does that make sense to anybody?"

Hippo

"Don't make no sense to me." says Hippo.

"You gonna eat that?". Hippo points his knife at an unfinished waffle on Karl's plate.

Karl Anderson

"It's all yours", says Karl, pushing the plate over. "I'm gonna have me some more of this damn fine coffee."
