After last Halloween Shirley just up and left. You never saw or heard from her again.

At least, not until last week.

Harry shares a letter he received, postmarked Minnesota. A letter addressed to Harry, and Darren, and Louis. A letter from Shirley.

Dear Harry, and Darren, and Louis

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to write to you. After what happened my parents wanted to get out of Northfield straight away. We moved back to stay with my mom's family.

I didn't know what to say. But I'm coming back to Northfield in a week's time. On Halloween. There's an old amusement park nearby, Funland, there's something I've got to do there. Something I've got to see. Something you've got to see. Meet me there. I'll explain everything.

Love from Shirley

As the founding member of The Mad Scientists' Club, Max is let in on the discussions between Harry, and Louis, and Darren. He's only moved to the school in the last six months and no one wants to tell him what went on back the Old Barnaker House. But he's up for exploring an old amusement park on Halloween, who wouldn't be? He doesn't catch the meaningful glances exchanged between the other three.

Charlie spends his time sitting alone, listening to his Walkman, writing in his notebook. But he often sits near Harry and the other Mad Scientists at lunch. Not with them, just near them. Occasionally listening in to their inane conversations. He doesn't want to hang out with these nerds but an abandoned amusement park, where else would a weirdo metalhead go on Halloween? Trick or treating?

None of you have heard of Funland. It seems to have closed down quite some time ago and Harry and Darren's parents seem strangely reluctant to talk about it.

-----

It's about 6.30pm. Darren and Harry have made their way to the outskirts of Funland, it's a few miles outside of Northfield. They're meeting Louis here. It's still light but the sun is getting very low in the sky and a light mist has started to gather between the trees. There's nothing obvious from the main road, but turning up a dirt track marked on an old map Harry has found, fading and half-vandalised billboards loom out of the mist. They're advertising Mr Fun's Funland and various rides, such as The Giddy Giggler and Mr Fun's Big Twister. A couple of the signs have been scrawled in spray paint, one of the more legible tags reads "Protect the Innocent" and another "Pedos Out!".

Charlie arrives a little after the others and follows at a distance.

OOC: Can you describe how your character got here. Are they in fancy dress? What did they tell their parents? What are they thinking?

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2023 6:06 pm**

Darren got there on his bike,pure and simple. Things at home have been difficult since Ian...passed...the closeness he had with his parents is a thing of the past They miss their baby and part of them blame you for him sneaking out and not sending him back or bringing him back when you found him. This time of year is even harder, they didn't even notice he had left, so.ised to him living in his room. He's not wearing a costume, seeing such things as childish now, after everything that happened last year and knowing that monsters really exist, costumes and make believe has lost its appeal. He's wearing jeans, sneakers and dark blue t shirt with the Thundercats logo on a New York Mets baseball jacket and baseball cap with the Autobot insignia. He carries with him an electric torch, his baseball bat and scuffed baseball (Thunder mk2 and lightning) Ian's name crudely scratched into the bat and a weathered old Catchers mitt. He also has a piece of cheese....because...who doesn't love cheese?

Nodding towards Harry
"Hey! check this out. Looks like Shirley's already here". Looking up from the tracks he notices Charlie and Max." Hey Bruckner, Max you sure ya wanna be here?"

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2023 11:24 pm**

Charlie sat and watched from a distance, aside the Walmart BMX bike his dad had bought him last Christmas. His face was painted black and white. His Aunt Deb was over visiting his dad. She’d insisted he couldn’t go out on Halloween without some kind of costume and so he now looked like a mini Gene Simmons. Well, an approximation of the Demon Lord, anyway!

He’d told his dad he was going out to meet friends and his dad was so enthralled by Deb’s latest family drama, that he hadn’t actually questioned that. A short while later, he found himself at the abandoned funfair, which seemed like a cool place to hang out on Halloween. Unfortunately, he wasn’t the only one to have that idea. He could see some recent tyre tracks, then someone hailed him from ahead.

He stared impassively for a moment, then said, ”Hey! What are you guys doing here?”

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2023 4:43 am**

"We could ask you the same question," says Harry. He also rode here on his bicycle, having told his parents that he was going to hang out with his friends for Halloween. He just didn't mention where they were going. He's wearing a costume consisting of Lt. Commander Data's uniform from Star Trek: The Next Generation, with a phaser and a scientific tricorder attached to his belt. While he knows the Data is derivative of Spock, he does like the android. He is curious what Shirley intends to show them. During his time in the hospital, he lost his ability to utilize the power of his mind to manipulate reality, and he wonders if he'll have the opportunity to recover it.

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2023 7:44 am**

Charlie shrugged. ”It’s somewhere to go,” he replied.

He was still sat astride his BMX, in two minds whether to join them or find somewhere else to hang out. Not that anywhere else had the same vibe as the deserted Funland in front of him.

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2023 3:15 pm**

Hard success.

Max arrived on his ten-speed and cautiously pushed his glasses back up his nose, looking dubiously at the alleged fun park. He waited for the others.

When everyone had gathered, he cleared his throat, trying to hide his nervousness. He still felt like the new kid. "Umm, did everyone notice those tyre tracks? Someone here before us?"

He pulled out his notebook. "I did some digging at the library and found an article about this place. Kinda gross. I wrote it down verbatim, I'll read it to you."

Northfield Chronicle
July 8, 1980
The shocking allegations against Funland employee Donald LeMann (35), who has been accused of molesting a child at Funland Amusement Park have led to three more victims coming forward.

The oldest of these claims LeMann fondled her in 1976 when she was 13 years old.

Ina Matthews, spokesman for Funland, said, 'The accusations against LeMann are nothing more than a desperate cash-grab. The simple fact that these charges are being levied against the company and not the former employee is all the proof anyone needs. We take safety as the utmost priority, and to have our reputation and brand tied to these charges is nothing short of slanderous. We are working with the police, providing both employee records and secutiry video to prove Mister LeMann was not working on the days in question.'

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2023 5:23 pm**

”Is that why you’re here?” asked Charlie, still a few yards away from the group. He wheeled his bike forward a couple of rotations. ”Looking for some creep who fondles kids? Why wouldn’t the police just him lock up?”

Posted: **Tue Oct 24, 2023 2:58 am**

"That's not why we're here," says Harry. "This all happened years ago. I found another article about it." He shows the others a photocopy he had made:

Northfield Gazette
July 29, 1980
The body of Kyle Stemmons (12) was discovered in a shallow grave Wednesday after police searched the area where Heather Murphy said Donald MeMann led her when he attempted to rape her last August. Murphy, who was 11 at the time, said LeMann coaxed her away from Funland Amusement Park under the pretense she had won a prize to see the 'secret ride.'

Stemmons disappeared in 1974, shortly after his family had visited Funland. The previous body, a young male, has yet to be identified. Police are currently searching the area for more remains of missing children. LeMann was employed at Funland Amusement Park from 1970 to 1979. As of today, six accusers have come forward, claiming LeMann had molested them.

Ina Matthews, spokesman for Funland said, 'We are devastated at this horrific tragedy, and are working with police to the best of our ability. However, Mister Le Mann was no longer employed by the park on the day of Heather's attack, having been terminated two days prior. Furthermore, no evidence has been found showing the victims being abducted from the park itself. The accusations that Funland is somehow responsible or covering for these terrible crimes are unequivocally false.'

"Some sick bastards in this world alright......Harry and myseld are here ro meet a couple of friends dunno why here.Maybe because where else would you go on Halloween.Judging by the rracks one of 'em is here..." Darren says,one hand nervously fidgeting in his pocket.

Posted: **Tue Oct 24, 2023 8:44 am**

”So where’s LeMann now?” asked Charlie. ”Still doing time, I expect?”

”Hey, did you know John Wayne Gacy got himself stabbed in prison? Henry Brisbon - the I-57 killer did it with a wire shank. P’raps someone’s gonna catch up with LeMann the same way.”

Posted: **Tue Oct 24, 2023 11:04 am**

Looking at Charlie, Darren tilts his head? "Woah!...like a serial killer deathmatch? Cool."

Posted: **Tue Oct 24, 2023 10:34 pm**

The four of them have slowly made their way up the muddy track, keeping an uncertain distance from each other but remaining close enough to see everyone through the thickening mist. After a few hundred yards they come to a metal wire gate that half blocks the road but is practically hanging off its hinges and leaves enough room for even a fairly large car to get by.

The trees that surround the road are dense conifers, and a soupy fog hangs between the trees, enhancing the sense of a heavy presence pressing in around them. The light is getting dim as the sun sets and the mist gets denser the further they walk along the track. Eventually they arrive at what must be some kind of parking lot. The concrete is weed choked, cracked and crumbling. There are a number of cars left here of various ages, but they seem to have been abandoned and some are little more than rusted wrecks. The newest is a white Buick station wagon that seems relatively intact and looks like it might be the vehicle that made the tracks they saw further back down the road. There is a chain link fence that must mark the border of the park, and behind that you can see the struts of a surprisingly impressive rollercoaster.

OOC: It's getting dark. Maybe 30mins left of daylight. Anyone got flashlights?

Posted: **Tue Oct 24, 2023 11:22 pm**

Darren has a flash light.
He doesn't see anything but a load of old, beat up cars.

Posted: **Wed Oct 25, 2023 12:20 am**

Success.

Max looked a bit nervous but turned analytical to calm his jitters.

"The changes between those two newspaper articles are interesting. Funland went from denial to this LeMann was no longer employed by us. It doesn't seem to have helped them, though."

"And what was that about a previous body? Not this kid Stemmons. The previous body, a young male, has yet to be identified. The article wasn't well written. Or we're missing data."

Max pulled out his flashlight and wandered over to the Buick station-wagon, shining the light into it. "Why are all the wing mirrors on all of these vehicles missing?"

Posted: **Wed Oct 25, 2023 3:28 am**

"Because someone pulled off the mirrors," says Harry. "We are missing a lot of data. Three weeks passed between those articles. But we can interpolate. Obviously they found two bodies, but the other one hadn't been identified yet."

Posted: **Wed Oct 25, 2023 11:53 am**

’Data? Who is this dork?!’ Charlie thought to himself as he examined the cars more closely.

He had an idea and he cupped his hands against the glass of one of the cars, trying to get a look inside. Was the driver’s mirror gone too?

Posted: **Wed Oct 25, 2023 1:36 pm**

"Err, I guess I'm wondering where the second body was found then? And when?"

"And why the wing mirrors have all been pulled off?"

Max sounded a bit hesitant after the response to his previous comments, but at the same time stubbornly determined to keep asking questions.

Posted: **Wed Oct 25, 2023 8:10 pm**

Darren looks around all the cars."Do all these cars have missing mirrors?" Feeling a shiver down his spine as he rembers back a year when mirrors brought nothing to trouble. Looking towards Harry "Maybe no mirrors is a good thing...."

Posted: **Wed Oct 25, 2023 11:02 pm**

Max shines his flashlight through the driver's window of the Buick. Illuminating the interior of the car he can see that there is some kind of orange scarf or shawl on the passenger seat, it's scattering the light and it takes him a moment to realise it is covered in shards of glass that have come from the passenger side window which has been smashed. The rear view mirror has also been removed.

Looking into another, rather more rusted car, Charlie notes that there is a broken window on that vehicle too, and no rear view mirror.

Darren paces around the cars and finds that none of the ones he looks at have wing mirrors. As he walks about the parking lot, something on the floor catches his attention. It's a bright red colour, like blood.

Walking over and crouching down to get a closer look he sees it is the rubbery fragments of a burst balloon.

-----

There's still no sign of Louis or Shirley. The wind seems to be picking up a bit and the chain link fence creaks as it sways. Funnily enough the mist doesn't seem to disperse. If anything it's getting thicker and it is hard to see anything through the fence except the struts of the rollercoaster. Even the tracks above are becoming more difficult to make out through the greyness.

Posted: **Wed Oct 25, 2023 11:03 pm**

”Why’s that?” asked Charlie, still looking through the car window.

”You think it’s vampires, don’tcha?” He shook his head. ”I’m not saying there aren’t people out there who drink blood and practice cannibalism, but Stoker’s vampires with the teeth and turning into mist? Well, they flat out don’t exist.”

Posted: **Thu Oct 26, 2023 12:20 am**

OOC: Luck rolls are fine to see if you brought a flashlight or there might be a light on your bike

Posted: **Thu Oct 26, 2023 12:42 am**

Picking up the remains of the balloon, Darren looks towards Charlie, "No reason" He says abruptly. " There are worse things than vampires.Hey Harry no sign of Louis or Shirley out here. Maybe their alreasy inside?"

Posted: **Thu Oct 26, 2023 2:11 am**

Max shone his flashlight on the shawl and peered at it a bit more closely, pushing his glasses back up his nose with one finger. He didn't want to touch the shawl, let alone get into the Buick, because he was afraid of getting cut by glass shards.

"I suppose we could follow the tyre tracks, see where they head to?" He called to the others while he peered into the vehicle.

Posted: **Thu Oct 26, 2023 4:51 am**

Harry shines his flashlight into the Buick as well. "They head to here," says Harry. "Following the tracks would lead us to its point of origin, but my guess is whoever parked it is still here somewhere, because the car is. Maybe Louis and Shirley are inside, and they might have gotten a ride in this car. None of these other ones look like they came here recently. But the mirrors were broken off after the Buick got here, which means whoever did it is probably still here too."

Posted: **Thu Oct 26, 2023 6:48 am**

Charlie looked around thoughtfully. ”Could be they’re still around but more likely it’s some kind of local tradition. I mean, some of these cars have been here a long time, judging by the rust.” He looked around for a moment longer, then said, ”Who are Louis and Shirley? Friends of yours?”

Posted: **Thu Oct 26, 2023 7:29 pm**

The scarf is made of a very fine diaphanous material, Max has never seen anything like it before, it's very colourful.

Harry walks around the Buick shining his torch through the windows. As well as the scarf on the passenger seat there's some stuff in the back, it looks like a map, maybe a camera, and some papers.

Posted: **Thu Oct 26, 2023 9:08 pm**

Darren walks around the opposite sideof Buick, shining his torch in the back window, before trying the door handle. "Yeah they are friends, Shirley moved away about a year ago and Louis is one of my best friends."

Posted: **Fri Oct 27, 2023 3:37 am**

Using two fingers, Max reached through and carefully pulled the scarf free, gently shaking the glass off it, or trying to. "That's a shame that it got covered in glass. It seems too good to be left behind."

Posted: **Fri Oct 27, 2023 4:15 am**

"So do this map, camera, and papers," says Harry, lighting them. "Louis is one of my best friends too." Once you've performed a Vulcan mind meld with someone, it forms an unbreakable bond.

Posted: **Fri Oct 27, 2023 6:35 am**

"At the best possible moment." Darren says smiling, but his eyes remain stern as he gives Harry the vulcan salute.

Posted: **Fri Oct 27, 2023 8:13 pm**

Harry shines his torch through the back window of the Buick and he and Darren look more closely at the contents of the back seat. There's
a map of Indiana half unfolded. The camera seems to be a Polaroid instant camera and it's sitting on a couple of photographs. Looked at more closely the papers are actually a ringbound notebook and a thin hardback book. The door to the Buick is locked when Darren tries the handle.

Max reaches through the broken window and retrieves the scarf, shaking off the shards of broken glass. He looks it over, there's a washed out label and he can't make out what it originally said but someone has written on it the letters S.A. in Sharpie. Once Max is finished, Darren unlocks the door through the broken window frame and then unfastens the back door.

In the back there's a large foldout map of Indiana. Nothing is marked on it but it is half folded so the area between Northfield and Indianapolis is uppermost. Pulling the photos out from underneath the camera, the topmost shows three people waving happily at the camera, a chisel jawed white man in his 20s, an attractive south Asian woman of a similar age, and between them what looks to be a blonde woman, although her face has been scratched and scribbled out. There's another photo of the man and Asian woman who seem to be hiking in the woods.

The notebook is largely empty, the rings filled with the spines of multiple pages which must have been ripped out and discarded. On the top page of lined paper it simply says Not my fault, not my fault, not my fault over and over again, filling half the page with the writing becoming more spidery and illegible the further down it goes. The hardback book is the 1985 yearbook for Lawrence Central High School in Indianapolis. Flicking through the book, the only things of note are a photo of one of the teachers, a Sarah Collins, which has been completely scribbled out in biro. Underneath the picture of another teacher, a Mark Thompson, someone's written I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Posted: **Fri Oct 27, 2023 10:33 pm**

Darren casts his eyes over the yearbook.....and sees nothing of interest being distracted by all the oddness surrounding this car and the rest of the parking lot.

Posted: **Sat Oct 28, 2023 2:53 am**

"Live long and prosper," says Harry, returning the Vulcan salute.

He studies the things he found carefully. "Look what I found! This woman in the picture with the man is wearing that scarf, and the woman in this other picture has a picture in the yearbook. She's a teacher too, Satiya Ali."

Posted: **Sat Oct 28, 2023 5:23 am**

"And the scarf has the initials 'SA' on it too for further confirmation, if we needed it."

"I guess they might have gone into the amusement park? After half demolishing their Buick..."

Posted: **Sat Oct 28, 2023 9:44 am**

OOC: Just to clarify, the photos are of Safiya Ali and Mark Thompson, Safiya is wearing the scarf. The second woman's face is scratched out in the photos.

Posted: **Sat Oct 28, 2023 9:56 pm**

"Or someone else wrecked it for them," says Harry.

Posted: **Sat Oct 28, 2023 10:36 pm**

Charlie looked at the car then back at Max, shaking his head. ”No one’s going to break their own car. And the same way the rest were done? That doesn’t seem likely.”

Posted: **Sat Oct 28, 2023 11:05 pm**

"Logical," agrees Harry.

Posted: **Sat Oct 28, 2023 11:45 pm**

While Charlie's looking at the Buick he notices something in the distance and points it out to the others. Inside the park, behind the outside fence. There's someone there. They're hard to make out with the dying sun behind them lending an unearthly orange glow. But it seems to be a child, carrying a red balloon. Dressed like a clown. In under the struts of the rollercoaster. Inside the park.

Posted: **Sun Oct 29, 2023 12:15 am**

"That's definitely not Shirley," says Harry. "That kid looks like a boy, not a girl. Maybe it's Louis, but why would he put on a clown costume? And if he did, he wouldn't actually look like a clown."

Posted: **Sun Oct 29, 2023 2:08 am**

Extreme success.

Max sighed. "I wasn't serious about their wrecking their own car. I was joking."

He peered at the clown child in the distance. "I hope that little kid is not lost."

Posted: **Sun Oct 29, 2023 9:48 am**

The kid had caught Charlie’s attention but he couldn’t see any more than the balloon and a white face.

”Who’s that?” he asked, glancing at the others. ”One of your friends?”

Posted: **Sun Oct 29, 2023 10:04 am**

Darren shines his torch over to where everyone is pointing."Definitely not Shirley doesn't look bossy enough. Could be Louis, have tou been lending him any of your Stephen King books Harry? his costume looks like that scary clown guy from....er....cant remember what it's called.......HEY! YOU! LOUIS?" Darren shouts towards the figure.

Hard Success

Posted: **Sun Oct 29, 2023 1:13 pm**

”IT,” said Charlie. ”The book’s called ‘IT’.”

He looked at the child-clown, then at the others. Was this some kind of prank that someone was playing on them?

Posted: **Mon Oct 30, 2023 2:04 am**

Max shrugged. "I prefer the 'World of the Unknown' books on ghosts, or UFOs, or monsters. I don't enjoy adult horror stories much, leaving aside what my folks would have to say on the matter."

"Shall we go and make sure that little kid is OK?" He started heading towards the clown child.

Posted: **Mon Oct 30, 2023 3:55 am**

"I didn't lend him that one," says Harry. "Few people have the patience for it. It's even longer than The Stand. Yes, let's go see who this is and what he's doing here." He follows Max.

Posted: **Mon Oct 30, 2023 7:27 am**

Shrugging his shoulders Darren leaves the car, following the other two. Torch on, occasionally sweeping the parking lot, checking for anything else........odd.

Posted: **Mon Oct 30, 2023 11:25 pm**

The child just stands there in the swirling mist, looking through the fence. Balloon hanging oddly still in the air. No sign of recognition or response to your shouts. You move towards the fence, walking around a rusted wreck in order to get there and...as you come around the back of the vehicle the child is gone. There's nothing there beyond the fence, just the mist. And the rollercoaster struts. No sign of the child. Or their balloon.

Posted: **Tue Oct 31, 2023 12:30 am**

”Is this some kinda joke?” asked Charlie. ”Someone’s having you on!” He tried to keep his tone light and jokey, but it wasn’t working.

Posted: **Tue Oct 31, 2023 4:07 am**

Harry takes out his tricorder and scans the area with it.

Posted: **Tue Oct 31, 2023 7:11 pm**

Moving right up to the fence, Darren swings his torch wildly through it, scanning the horizon. Still looking through the fence he says "Harry, I don't like this, feels.....familiar. "

Posted: **Tue Oct 31, 2023 8:35 pm**

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Harry's tricorder prop doesn't indicate anything. Shining his flashlight back and forth in the mist, Darren can't really make anything out. Apart from the rollercoaster struts, which make an almost lattice like backdrop, he can't distinguish anything within the park, no refreshment stands or any other rides.

Posted: **Wed Nov 01, 2023 5:10 am**

Harry nods. "I'm not detecting the presence of any lifeforms," he says. "Except for us, of course."

Posted: **Wed Nov 01, 2023 8:20 am**

Max nodded in response to Harry. "Unless ... they're undead!"

"Or, less likely, it's no life as we know it. Nevertheless, phasers to stun until we know more."

Max headed in the direction in which the clown kid was last seen. "HEY CLOWN KID! ARE YOU OK?!" As he did so, he pulled out the Silva orienteering compass hanging around his neck on a lanyard and took a bearing on the kid's last known location.

Posted: **Wed Nov 01, 2023 1:02 pm**

Not exactly thrilled by the turn of events but also not wanting to be left standing on his own, Charlie started to wheel his bike forward…

Posted: **Thu Nov 02, 2023 3:34 am**

Harry nods and makes sure his phaser is set on stun, looking around carefully for any sign of movement.

Posted: **Thu Nov 02, 2023 8:30 pm**

Darren holds his bat to forehead to his head, closes his eyes, slips one hand into his pocket, mumbles something quietly and then follows Harry.

Posted: **Thu Nov 02, 2023 11:52 pm**

Up against the fence there's no sign of the kid, no sign of movement, just mist, and the lattice of rollercoaster struts. Using his compass Max can see that the chain fence runs roughly east to west and the kid was standing NNE from the Buick.

Standing up close against the fence and peering in the mist parts a little, just for a few seconds. On the ground, a little further inside the park there's a flash of colour. It looks like a pool of blood collecting in the gravel. Darren recognises it as the remains of a burst balloon.

With the mist thinning, a shape becomes visible in the fence line, further to the west. Something looming over the perimeter.

Posted: **Fri Nov 03, 2023 1:18 am**

”Whassat?!” asked Charlie, peering into the gloom. He pulled on the handlebars of his bike, turning it so the lights illuminated the shape on the fence line.

Posted: **Fri Nov 03, 2023 4:34 am**

Harry shines his light on the shape at the fence.

Posted: **Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:59 pm**

It's more than a shape, getting closer you can see a break in the fence and rising above it a metal frame holding up the rusting letters announcing UNLAND, there's no sign of the missing F. And beneath that a giant looming clown head emerges from the gloom. It looks like it probably sat on top of the sign, overlooking the entrance. Now it's lying on the pavement outside the entrance to the park. A giant fibreglass head grinning in the mist. Cracked open, the inside strangely dark. And behind that the entrance, frozen in time. Old posters peeling off the ticket booth, with its smashed windows. Rusted turnstiles, arms long gone, gateway to forgotten dreams and...what?

The air is chilly, with only the slightest stirring of breeze. And it's silent, silent except the occasional creaking from deep in the mist, some invisible ride inside the park shifting, swinging. Memories of fun and excitement long gone. The magic of Funland long since faded away. Looking through the turnstiles into the thickening mist it is impossible to make anything out through the fog and the glare of the dying sun.

Posted: **Sat Nov 04, 2023 12:44 am**

”There’s no ‘F’ in ‘Funland’,” Charlie remarked quietly. Coming out here had seemed like a ‘fun’ thing to do, no pun intended. Now he wasn’t so sure. He turned his handlebars in the direction of the clown’s head and shone his the light at it.

Posted: **Sat Nov 04, 2023 2:28 am**

Max studied the giant clown head for a moment with the aid of his flashlight. "This place would make for a great secret clubhouse, if it wasn't so creepy."

"Where'd the clown kids get to? HEY! CLOWN KID, ARE YOU OK?!"

Posted: **Sat Nov 04, 2023 2:39 am**

Harry shines his light on the ground where the child had been, hoping to illuminate any tracks he may have left.

Posted: **Sat Nov 04, 2023 11:37 am**

Looking up at the clown head with a sense of unease Darren rattles the fence with his baseball bat. "HEY KID!! LOUIS!! SHIRLEY!!! WHEREAREYOU?" He bellowed into the park.

Posted: **Sat Nov 04, 2023 11:59 am**

”Way to go…” Charlie said dryly. ”You realise that if there is anyone sneaking around in there, then you’ve just told them we’re here… …”

Posted: **Sat Nov 04, 2023 12:54 pm**

Harry tries to discern any tracks where the clown-child was standing, but it's a little further inside the park from where he's standing and the ground is a mixture of weeds and gravel, and he doubts he'd be able to to see much more even if he was closer. From here he can't even see the red from the remnants of the balloon.

Both Max and Charlie shine their lights inside the big crack in the giant clown head. It's very dark inside and the lights barely penetrate into the gloom. Outlining the rim of the head confirms it does seem to be made of fibreglass but inside it isn't hollow like you'd expect. Instead it is filled with a criss-cross of pale supporting material forming a sort of meshwork. Looking at it directly for more than a few seconds your eyes start to swim, struggling to focus on the lines. It's like one of those magic eye pictures where the random dots look 3D if you stare at them for long enough and defocus your eyes. But this feels even weirder, you get a profound sense of déjà vu.

Posted: **Sat Nov 04, 2023 3:24 pm**

OOC: SAN rolls Max and Charlie, 0/1 SAN loss

Sighing Darrens head drops, then looks up at Charlie "Ya know, no one asked you here, if ya getting too scared then just go home. Might be the safest place for you.Might be best for all of us."

Posted: **Sat Nov 04, 2023 7:52 pm**

A disembodied voice from inside the ticket booth calls out in a gravely tone, "You boys... shouldn't have come here... You'll all be dead by dawn! Leave now before we swallow your soul!" The voice cackles before it goes silent.

After a few moments of waiting for a reaction a stifled laugh squeaks out from inside the booth before a head pops through the broken window with a mop of red hair.

"Hahaha! You guys should see the look on your faces right now! It's priceless!" Dirk "Dirt" Blokowski, the odd-ball class clown and sometimes class jerk, begins laughing heartily and in between a lull in laughter chants "I'll swallow your soul! I'll swallow your soul!" and laughs again.

As he settles down Dirt asks, "Where's Louis? Wasn't that fatty here with you dorks?"

Jeez, that Dirt. Always making stupid jokes at the wrong time. He nearly frightened the bejesus out of you. Still, it was kinda funny. Kinda.

Posted: **Sat Nov 04, 2023 10:38 pm**

"Oh, now it all makes sense," says Harry, relaxing. "It was you all along. That was a pretty good prank, though. Really had us going for a little. We came here to meet Louis, but we haven't seen him yet."

Posted: **Sat Nov 04, 2023 11:35 pm**

Shaking his head Darren looks at Dirk "Figures, Where's ya clown suit...ya clown!" He says, pointing his bat at Dirk.

Posted: **Sun Nov 05, 2023 12:27 am**

”M-mom?” Charlie murmured, then jumped as he heard an airhorn! He looked around, shoulders hunched against any would-be attacker (or was it the impact that he knew was just seconds away?!)

When nothing happened, he tried to straighten up, acting as casually as he could. He could still feel the tension in his spine though. That felt taut as as a bowstring!

Posted: **Sun Nov 05, 2023 2:26 am**

Success.

"Imsorryimsorryimsorryimsorry..." Max staggered away from the clown head, repeating the same words like a stuck record. Suddenly, he bent over and vomited. "I didn't mean it, I didn't know..." The words came out muffled as he retched. Real tears ran down his face.

He staggered away a few feet more and sat down on the ground, hiding his face with his hands.

Posted: **Sun Nov 05, 2023 10:54 am**

Dirk looks at Darren quizzically. "What do you mean where is my clown suit? Wasn't that weirdo clown kid I saw Louis, and isn't he with you?" Dirk then turns his attention to Max and Charlie, "Okay, quit it you two, I get it. I wasn't that scary, you don't have to play it up."

Posted: **Sun Nov 05, 2023 11:12 am**

"No , we aint seen Louis yet. Soof it wasn't you, who was it? I would ask which idiot pal you brought with ys...but....you'd need a friend first. Anyway why ste you hete Dirt?" Darren asks letting the bat swing down by his side.

Posted: **Mon Nov 06, 2023 3:45 am**

"It is theoretically possible that it was Louis," says Harry, "but that costume didn't look like his style. For one thing, it actually looked like a clown."

Posted: **Mon Nov 06, 2023 12:34 pm**

Max stayed where he was, sitting on the ground, face buried in his hands, rocking slightly. He said nothing.

Posted: **Mon Nov 06, 2023 8:26 pm**

Charlie sniffed loudly, blinking fiercely, then wiped his nose on the back of his hand.

Posted: **Mon Nov 06, 2023 10:13 pm**

"Well, it's gotta be him cause who else would come out to this junkheap at night except you dorks." Dirk says. After, he walks over to Max and puts a hand on his shoulder, "Come on poindexter, chin up, I didn't even do a good impression - you should have seen it in the movie. No need to be this worked up over it."

Posted: **Tue Nov 07, 2023 4:09 am**

Max reluctantly dragged his hands away from his pale, tear-stained face. He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped at his eyes and glasses.

Posted: **Tue Nov 07, 2023 7:38 am**

Rembering Louis's costume from last year Darren nods, " I think your right Harry definitely not his style a d looked too smal to be Shirley. Why are you here Dirt? You seen anyone around?"

Posted: **Tue Nov 07, 2023 8:08 pm**

"Only you guys and the clown kid, this place is kinda weird. I only came cause I thought it'd be fun to mess with you guys though." Dirk says.

Posted: **Wed Nov 08, 2023 12:52 am**

You all stand around, facing off against each other. Trying to pretend you weren't shaken by what was in that head or Dirt's unexpected appearance (even if you don't get his reference). And somewhere just beyond the turnstiles there's a laugh, a child's laugh. Just for a second. It's impossible to tell if it was a boy or a girl.

But looking up to where the sound came from, the mist has cleared ever so slightly. And there's something emerging from the mist. It looks like a sign. Yes, a sign. A map of the park.

Posted: **Wed Nov 08, 2023 5:10 am**

"That's convenient," says Harry, studying the map in the light of his flashlight and memorizing it.

Posted: **Wed Nov 08, 2023 11:36 pm**

Charlie’s eyes narrowed at the sound of the child’s laughter. He looked at the others, then at the map. ”It sounds like someone’s trying to lead us in there… …” he said quietly.

Posted: **Fri Nov 10, 2023 3:36 am**

Looking embarrassed, sheepish, and more than a little guilty, Max attempted to dust himself off and strengthen up. He sauntered over to the map, fairly reluctantly, and studied it.

"I really don't like this place. Something is not right here."

Posted: **Fri Nov 10, 2023 7:41 am**

" Neither do i, Max, but two of my best friends are in there, and i'm not goimg to leave them behind." Darren says, his voice quivering, the act of bravado as much for himself as anyone else. sShifting his grip on the baseball bat, looking down at the name scratched into it. " I'm going in, none of you have to come in, most of YOU LOT shouldn't even be here and ahould just go home!!"

Posted: **Fri Nov 10, 2023 7:57 am**

”You can’t be serious about going in there alone,” said Charlie, looking off into the park. ”If your friend’s in there, why not just call the cops?”

Posted: **Fri Nov 10, 2023 8:55 am**

Max looked around. "I don't know where the nearest working phone box might be. Somewhere back the way we came, a few miles a ways, I'm guessing. I doubt there's a working phone to be found in the fun park."

"Then, the next problem would be convincing the police that someone's safety is at risk. Mostly, I think that's our hunch. We couldn't even really tell anyone much about what that clown kid is doing."

"We could perhaps report the damage to the Buick over there, they might attend for that if they're having a quiet night. On Halloween." Max shrugged, really having no clue how police prioritised.

"Right now, I really feel like I have a lot of good deeds I need to perform. Really need. So I'm willing to come into the park with those of you going in."

Posted: **Fri Nov 10, 2023 11:38 am**

" Its Halloween....Hell Night... the police aren't gonna give a stuff about about kids phoning up, telling them their pals are lost in an abandoned amusement park...they'll just think we're pranking them. But ya know, go ahead..... " Darren tells Charlie.

Posted: **Fri Nov 10, 2023 11:50 am**

"Oh no, I'm definitely not going home... not yet at least." Dirk retorts, blanching at the thought. He inspects the map briefly, "I'll go with you guys, it could be fun," Dirk looks around momentarily as if looking for agreement, "after all Darren is right, no cop is going to bother helping us tonight... or really any other night." Dirk adds morosely.

Posted: **Fri Nov 10, 2023 12:27 pm**

Charlie shrugged. ”’sup to you. He’s your friend,” he said to Darren.

He remained sat on his bike, as yet undecided whether to stay or go.

Posted: **Sat Nov 11, 2023 5:22 am**

"He's mine too," says Harry, "and I'm not leaving without him."

Posted: **Sat Nov 11, 2023 5:15 pm**

Past the map it is difficult to make out much of the park with the thick, swirling fog. Visibility is limited to a few yards at most. And it's eerily quiet, only the very slightest creaking or squeaking at times. Where gaps appear in the mist it reveals sections of the vast and elaborate latticework that makes up the support structures of the rollercoaster. Although you're now unable to see the rails up above you, they've disappeared into the fog. But the rollercoaster seems to stretch in all directions and according to the map it encircles the park. The sun has now almost completely set, and gloom is welling up into the grey mist, the last dying bloom of rosy haze disappearing under the spreading black like an ink stain.

OOC: On that map the entrance and turnstiles are at number 2. Number 1 indicates the parking lot. The map is painted on a free standing sign just beyond the entrance.

Posted: **Sat Nov 11, 2023 6:01 pm**

Darren sees nothing unusual...Well other than the obvious. "Right lets go and pay our way in." He says looking at the map before heading off towards the turnstiles.

Posted: **Sat Nov 11, 2023 11:43 pm**

"I don't think there's anyone here any more to take our money," says Harry, following.

Posted: **Sun Nov 12, 2023 4:47 am**

Success.

"Hey, I can see that red balloon floating up into the sky." Max pointed to where he'd spotted it.

Quickly pulling out the Silva compass hanging around his neck, Max tried to get a bearing on where he'd last seen the balloon. "Must be helium if it's rising. And must have been let go, obviously. Normally, this is about the point you hear some little kid start to cry that they've lost their balloon."

Posted: **Sun Nov 12, 2023 7:54 pm**

OOC: Success

Dirk hucks one last rock at the clown head before hopping over the dilapidated turnstile and stopping briefly on the path next to the guide map, "I guess we can take a look in the office that's on the map. It's only a little further down the path and would be the first place someone could actually get inside if they came here."

Dirk notices the balloon floating off, "If the wind is going, that kid could have let go of it anywhere."

Posted: **Sun Nov 12, 2023 9:20 pm**

”What balloon?” asked Charlie, looking up from the map towards the darkened sky.

Posted: **Mon Nov 13, 2023 3:27 am**

"The office sounds like a good place to start," says Harry.

Posted: **Mon Nov 13, 2023 11:58 pm**

”What office?” asked Charlie, looking down from the sky to the map in front of him.

Posted: **Tue Nov 14, 2023 12:24 am**

"What wind?"

Posted: **Tue Nov 14, 2023 12:49 am**

Max doesn't really need to use his compass to know the balloon is fifty yards or more west of where he saw the clown-kid. It's difficult to estimate how far back it is but certainly it looks ten to twenty yards further into the park than when he saw the kid up against the fence. And there's no wind.

The office seems to be beyond the struts of the rollercoaster and you can't see it from the entrance given the thick fog. Following the gravel path further into the park you walk beneath the criss-crossing metal support structure of the rollercoaster which crosses over the path above you. Where the map indicated there is indeed an office. Or what's left of it. The wood and aluminium structure is nothing but a shell, the windows seem long gone and the floor inside is covered in a thick layer of leaves and dirt. There's a few fitted counters and tables inside the building, warped and crumbling from long exposure to the weather. The only real thing in here is a poster pasted onto one wall. It's incongruously intact given the state of the rest of the place.

Beyond the office you can't make anything else in the mist but large shadows do seem to loom against the grey blanket of sky. Presumably some of the old rides casting shadows in the dying embers of the day's light. The shapes they make in the fog are strange and unnatural, almost like Rorschach ink-blots. It's unnaturally quiet. But somewhere in the distance, further up the path. You can hear something. A sort of rustling. Or squeaking. It's oddly loud in the still night air.

Posted: **Tue Nov 14, 2023 3:29 am**

Harry looks for desks, filing cabinets, or anywhere else records may have been kept.

Posted: **Tue Nov 14, 2023 7:44 am**

Max was still trying to recover after the clown's head incident. He went nowhere near the poster, did not shine a flashlight on it and did not look at it. "I'm steering well away from creepy clown stuff for now."

Max contented himself with shining his flashlight on the ground outside around the remains of the office, looking for any tracks not created by his companions or he himself.

Posted: **Tue Nov 14, 2023 12:38 pm**

OOC: Harry roll Luck. Max roll Nature.

Posted: **Tue Nov 14, 2023 4:24 pm**

Charlie wheeled his bike up to the office and pushed down the kickstand, making sure it wasn’t going to fall over before he dismounted. He pulled the bike lamp from its holder on the handlebars and shone it around. The light fell on the picture of the clown and he winced, quickly turning the beam away and looking around the rest of the office. ”Why do they have to be so damn freaky?!” he grumbled.

Posted: **Tue Nov 14, 2023 11:13 pm**

Critical success.

Max cautiously moved from point to point around the outside of the office, carefully studying the ground.

Posted: **Wed Nov 15, 2023 5:37 am**

"It's my theory that clowns are deliberately made to look creepy in order to frighten children," says Harry. "Well, it's more of a hypothesis."

Posted: **Wed Nov 15, 2023 7:30 pm**

Leaving his bike next toCharlie's ,Darren walks into the building, shing his torch about the room, letting the beam fall onto the poster, a shiver down his spine as he stares at the clown. "That clowns some freaky Stephen King shot." He walks over to Harry "Wanna hand rifling through these cabinets?: Any sign of Shirley,Louis?...anyone?"

Posted: **Wed Nov 15, 2023 8:32 pm**

Circling the office, looking at the build ups of leaves, dirt, and gravel, Max is surprised to see evidence of quite a lot of disturbance, all around the building. The marks he can make out, where the footprints have been made in the mud, seem to be adult size shoes, not little kids anyway. Following the prints, some head north along the gravel path, into the dark fog. Others seem to veer off across the grass, parallel to the rollercoaster, which he can see from a sign high up on the structure is called Mr Fun's Big Twister. Quite a number track to and from the entrance and he follows these back under the rollercoaster struts. The structure of the rollercoaster is vast, struts form a dense latticework, criss-crossing back and forth above him. Without the sun, the lattice seems denser, closer together. For a moment Max can't seem to see the route the path takes beneath the rollercoaster and shines his flashlight, throwing the struts into sharp relief, the gaps between them thick with broiling grey mist. But he can't see the way through. He can't make out the entrance through the latticework. There doesn't seem to be any way through.

Tucked under some of the worktops, Harry finds a couple of old metal filing cabinets. They're twisted and dented but he can't seem to get the drawers open. Darren helps him to yank at a couple of the drawers but they're stuck fast, probably still locked.

Posted: **Wed Nov 15, 2023 10:04 pm**

Dirk stares at the clown poster for a few moments. "Creepy that this thing looks so new while everything else here is a junkheap. Did someone just put it up?"

Dirk reaches up and tries to take the poster down carefully.

Posted: **Wed Nov 15, 2023 11:43 pm**

OOC: Can I get a DEX roll for Dirk to take the poster down carefully

Posted: **Wed Nov 15, 2023 11:56 pm**

Posted: **Thu Nov 16, 2023 12:23 am**

"Uh, guys, I've found quite a lot of tracks here. Grown ups by the looks." Max used his flashlight to highlight what he'd seen.

"I'm not really sure what all this means. Tracks to and from the entrance. We've got some tracks heading north along the path further into the park. Others go into the grass following parallel to the roller coaster. Some maybe go under the roller coaster but I can't see how they even get under there."

"Certainly other people besides us have been here recently."

Posted: **Thu Nov 16, 2023 12:55 am**

Very carefully, Dirk slowly peels the clown poster off the wall. He's not quite sure what it was stuck up with but it does seem to come off fairly easily, tearing only a little. Underneath the print the paper is yellowing, it looks pretty old. The patch on the wall uncovered by removing the poster is a different colour to the rest of the wall, much more vivid like it hasn't faded in the sunlight. Flipping over the poster Dirk sees quite a detailed picture has been hand drawn on the back in pen and pencil. It's hard to make out exactly what it shows in the gloom and he shines his light onto it. There's a drawing of a man standing between two columns holding something above his head. And underneath the picture in red ink someone's written Hi Dirt, Welcome to Unland. Your Gonna Like it Here!

OOC: That's a SAN roll for Dirk, 0/1 loss.

Posted: **Thu Nov 16, 2023 4:51 am**

"Must be locked," says Harry. "Some offices hide filing cabinet keys by taping them to something, even the back of the cabinet. If you're going to that, why even lock it? But it could work to our advantage." He begins searching for a key.

Posted: **Thu Nov 16, 2023 11:37 am**

Dirk shudders and drops the poster with a fright. After a moment he calls out to the other kids, "Oh, ha ha, very funny you guys. So you saw me coming and pulled a fast one on me?" He picks the poster back up and tries to inspect the drawing more closely to see if he can recognize anything else strange. "Whichever one of you drew this did a pretty good job, I'll admit."

Posted: **Thu Nov 16, 2023 9:54 pm**

OOC: Anyone who might not recognise the picture as Ash from Evil Dead can roll Know to see if they do if/when Dirk shows it to them.

Harry roll Notice Stuff to look for a key.

Posted: **Thu Nov 16, 2023 10:25 pm**

Charlie looked at the posted. ”That’s Ash. From Evil Dead? You seen it?” he asked Dirt. Seeing him shaken was making Charlie feel better.

He tapped the message. ”Who knew you were coming here?”

Posted: **Fri Nov 17, 2023 12:05 am**

Darren walked over to Dirk looking at the poster he turns to him and sys "Groovy"

Posted: **Fri Nov 17, 2023 12:29 am**

Dirk studies the poster more closely, systematically running his light up and down it. The front is in good condition, the printing still seems fresh, the black ink is crisp, but there is a little yellowing around the edges of the paper. Flipping it over onto the back the yellowing is more noticeable and the paper seems more creased, although at least some of that is an illusion caused by the very fine lines drawn there.

The drawing is from the film Evil Dead II, an unrated horror film that came out this year. It shows the hero Ash (with his hand replaced by a chainsaw) as depicted in a page from the mythical book the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, The Book of the Dead from the film. It is supposed to be a prophesy about 'the Hero from the Sky' who comes to save people from the evil baddies, and reflects the ironic scenes at the end of the film where Ash is sent back in time to fight the deadites again. The picture is a pretty good reproduction of the one seen in the film. Only this one one has writing underneath in a sort of watery-red ink, presumably meant to reflect the opening of the film where the Necronomicon is said to have been inked in blood. And the writing talks about Dirk.

Posted: **Fri Nov 17, 2023 1:04 am**

"Oh that's so weird man. I did see this one a while ago actually. I snuck into a theater to see it, but I didn't talk to anyone about the movie cause I didn't want my pops to find out I saw it." Dirk is a bit visibly shaken, "I didn't tell anyone I was coming here either."

Dirk hands the poster to anyone who wants to examine it closer with a shudder. "I can't figure out how they did it, but someone definitely took this one too far, even for me."

Posted: **Fri Nov 17, 2023 1:19 am**

Posted: **Fri Nov 17, 2023 1:28 am**

Aww,poor Dirt not nice being the on the butt end of a joke is it?! Well something weird is going on here, the kid woth the ballon, all the cars, broken mirrors now this.... looks like something has a hard-on for ya" Darren says with a smile, but his heart beating hard and his palms sweaty as pits on a brave face. "And don't think it was any of us Dirk none of us knew you were coming, heck i didn't know these two were coming. " He says gesturing to Max and Charlie.

Posted: **Fri Nov 17, 2023 5:48 am**

Harry can't find a key, so he takes a look at the poster. "Someone pranked you really well," says Harry, "and I mean really well. Whoever did this went to a lot of effort. The movie only came out this year, but the poster looks to be years old. There are ways to make things appear old when they're not, but that would be very impressive to reproduce an old Funland poster and then age the paper. And it looks like there was a poster was here for a long time, based on the fading on the wallpaper. Someone had to have taken this old poster down, put the movie poster on the other side, and then put it back on the wall. Did a great job of it too. Makes you wonder why someone so clever would make such an obvious grammatical error. The red writing isn't blood. Real blood doesn't stay that red when it dries. And yet the poster looks in much better shape than the rest of the office. It's like someone removed it years ago, and then did some work on it and put it back more recently."

Posted: **Fri Nov 17, 2023 10:25 am**

Max was stoically staying outside. He called to the others through a broken office window. "The other possibility is that the person who wrote that message to D..., ah, Dirk is or had access to a clairvoyant. A person with the ability to see glimpses of the future."

"I've just finished an excellent Time-Life Mysteries of the Unknown book on ESP. Extra. Sensory. Perception. Time-Life is reputable. The book's in the school library if you're interested." Max was quite earnestly serious about this.

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2023 4:17 am**

"It could be a time traveler too," says Harry. "That is theoretically possible."

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2023 12:25 pm**

Max looked surprised for a second but then nodded agreement. "Time travel cannot be discounted. It would be a lot of effort to go to, just to annoy Dirk, but it is a possibility."

"The Star Trek episode Tomorrow is Yesterday had an excellent time travel plot, and of course Star Trek IV was brilliant. I have the novelisation of the movie."

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2023 12:51 pm**

”Well, that was a fascinating discussion,” said Charlie dryly.

”But what are we doing now? Going for a look around?” He was trying to sound more confident than he felt.

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2023 6:47 pm**

"Dirk may not be famous now," says Harry, "but anything can happen in the future. Maybe one day he'll pull off a prank so big that someone will want to come back in time to get prevenge. Star Trek IV was excellent, but Star Trek II was the best." He glances up when Charlie speaks, not aware that the discussion had actually ended. "See if you can find the key to the filing cabinets. I couldn't, but it's a big office, and it's a mess. There must be some important documents in there for them to keep them locked."

Posted: **Sun Nov 19, 2023 9:11 am**

Rather reluctantly, Max entered the office and started searching for the key. "I'd suggest we follow one of the sets of tracks I located. There are three options, north along the path, on the grass following the roller coaster, or under the roller coaster. Somehow."

Fail.

Posted: **Sun Nov 19, 2023 6:16 pm**

Charlie looked around. Where would he hide a key if he didn’t want anyone to find it?

Posted: **Sun Nov 19, 2023 11:27 pm**

"I'm curious about the ones going under the coaster," says Harry, "but let's see if anything we find here gives us a better lead first."

Posted: **Mon Nov 20, 2023 2:18 am**

"My folks only let me watch Wrath of Khan after I turned twelve, a few months ago. We hired it put on VHS. It was very good. Those earwigs. But on personal preferences, I liked the happier ending of IV. That's just me."

Posted: **Mon Nov 20, 2023 10:11 pm**

By the door you all entered through, Charlie sees a slim metal box mounted in the narrow space between the frame of the door and the wall. The front of it swings open when he pulls on it and inside are rows of hooks, a couple of them have keys hanging from them. Selecting one of the smaller keys, Charlie takes it and tries the filing cabinet. It turns and he feels the lock mechanism disengaging. He tries to open the top drawer in triumph but the cabinet has obviously warped a bit and it takes a lot of tugging and wiggling until he gets the drawer open. Inside the top drawer there isn't much, a buff manila folder with some sheets of typewritten paper inside and lying on the bottom an envelope marked CONFIDENTIAL.

Obviously the first thing Charlie rips open is the confidential envelope. Inside there's a collection of typewritten sheets held together with a paperclip. The top sheet is a curriculum vitae for Donald LeMann, and there's a passport-style photograph clipped to the front. The photo shows an average looking white man with blonde hair dressed in casual clothes. But a wide strip across his eyes has been scratched out. The rest of the pages are dull stuff about various jobs and boring office notes about LeMann.

Inside the folder there's a series of memos written by Ina Matthews. They are about the park's 'media strategy' in dealing with the revelations about Donald LeMann, it's all 'plausible deniability' and 'safeguarding measures.'

Posted: **Mon Nov 20, 2023 11:53 pm**

Dirk stares blankly at Harry as he rattles off his analysis of the poster and its message before stating, "That's a whole lot of words to say that this poster and message shouldn't be possible...right?"

As Harry and Max prattle on about the possibility of "prevenge", time travel, and ESP, Dirk laughs "Yeah, maybe a wizard put this poster here." He follows the others into the office on their search while continuing, "I never really got Star Trek myself. But Star Wars was great!" Dirk imitates swinging a lightsaber including making the signature Whoosh sound.

When Charlie got the file cabinet up and grabbed the confidential envelope, Dirk snatched up the larger manila folder to give it a quick peruse. Unable to figure out what he was looking at, Dirk passed it on to one of the more nerdy kids in the group.

Posted: **Tue Nov 21, 2023 12:25 am**

By no means a gifted scholar, a lot of stuff that Charlie did read was related to horror and true crime, so this felt natural to him. He scanned the pages and frowned.

”Jesus! They knew what this LeMann guy was up to and they were just trying to cover their own asses!” he said.

Posted: **Tue Nov 21, 2023 2:46 am**

Success.

Max pushed his glasses up then methodically read. "You are right Charlie. That Ina Matthews woman hid everything to protect this stupid fun park and herself."

"This is an adult in a responsible position, making this decision to lie and hide something awful from the police. Nothing like this happened in The Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew."

"There must have been some very angry parents and kids after this." Max looked distracted by this last thought.

Posted: **Tue Nov 21, 2023 6:10 am**

"Yeah," says Harry, reading over his shoulder. "I bet the police would be really interested in seeing these."

Posted: **Tue Nov 21, 2023 11:36 am**

OOC: Assuming one of the brighter kids explains the papers as they discuss it, do the handwritten notes that state LeMann's references and education didn't line up suggest that the park knew this before his hiring, or it is something they tacked onto his file after some incident?

Posted: **Tue Nov 21, 2023 11:57 am**

Darren casts his eyes over the papers.

OOC: Hard Success!

"That woman seems a right bitch!!! How can you hide what he can ya accuse the victims and families...." Darren says , his knuckles whitening as he holds his bat.

Posted: **Tue Nov 21, 2023 8:57 pm**

It isn't really possible to tell when the failure to contact the references or check out his qualifications happened because it is recorded on separate sheets of notepad paper to the initial interview notes.

However, both Charlie and Darren can see the writing is the same and there's even some signs of the handwriting coming through the pages that suggests the notes were written at the same time or at least consecutively on the same notepad.

Darren also notices that LeMann claimed on his CV to go to the same elementary school as he did, Zionsville. But he's pretty sure the school didn't open until 1966, it was the twentieth anniversary last year.

”Adults, man! They covered it up to save themselves, rather than protecting us kids!” Charlie cried indignantly.

”That sucks!”

Posted: **Wed Nov 22, 2023 6:40 am**

"Yeah," says Harry, "but now we have the proof. Now we have something to show the police."

Posted: **Wed Nov 22, 2023 9:08 am**

”Ok, so we take this with us,” said Charlie.”Gotta make them pay for what they’ve done!” This wasn’t like one of the murders he usually read about, they were abstract, not quite real. This had happened to kids, probably about the same age as him. Mentally, he made a note of the TV programmes that this needed to go to.

"If everyone's happy to, you can put all these notes and stuff in my backpack."

Max opens his backpack and makes space behind some well-thumbed comics (including Detective Comics: Batman, Spiderman, X-Men, Doctor Strange, and Strange Tales).

"Back to my earlier question. Do we want to follow the footprints I could see? One group go north along the path. Another follows the roller coaster. The last, somehow, goes under the roller coaster."

"At the moment, I think Harry and I both vote for under the roller coaster."

Posted: **Thu Nov 23, 2023 4:30 am**

"Never split the party," says Harry. "It's a bad idea in Dungeons & Dragons, and it's a bad idea in situations like this. No end of grief would come of it. If we're going to stay here, I'm curious about what's under the coaster, but maybe we should go to the police now that we have something to show them."

Posted: **Thu Nov 23, 2023 11:09 pm**

The light of the sun has completely disappeared, leaving the office in inky darkness, lit only by the occasional thin beams of the flashlights, tracing out shafts of swirling grey mist. There nothing beyond the limit of the light, thick fog edging suffocatingly close. You can taste it, wet and cloying. Heavy and chilling. The air very, very quiet. Except, there's that rustling noise again, somewhere to the north. Occasional looming shadows flitting across the edge of your vision that seem to have melted away when you look.

Posted: **Fri Nov 24, 2023 12:33 am**

”We’re not too far from the gate, so why don’t we go an check what’s making that noise, then we can go the the police?” said Charlie, nodding in the direction of the rustling noise.

Posted: **Fri Nov 24, 2023 3:18 am**

"Because in every horror movie I've ever seen, that's always a mistake," says Harry. "That and splitting up the group. And going in the basement. Though sometimes you have to do that."

Posted: **Fri Nov 24, 2023 8:10 am**

" That creep even lied about the school he went to. I went ro that school and im pretty sure it wasnt open back then." Darren's head snapped round at the mention of splitting the party, "NO! WE ARE NOT SPLITTING THE PARTY!" Slamming his bat down on the table, the scrawled name on it facing toward the group." Harry's right, that's how we lose fri...people and I.. We aren't losing anyone!!" At the mention of the basement Darren can feel the tears build up as he turns away from the group, his hand reaching into his pocket.

Posted: **Fri Nov 24, 2023 11:24 am**

Max sighed, looked at Harry and raised his eyebrows, but continued in an even, reasonable voice. "I believe you misunderstood my question. The groups I was talking about are the groups of footprints I found, not us. I wasn't proposing we split the team, obviously, I'm not an idiot. I may not have watched horror movies but I've read Dracula."

"And quite a lot of old Marvel Tomb of Dracula comics, as it happens. Although, sadly, the philistines have discontinued the title."

"I was asking for a vote, the idea being that we all go with the majority vote. That being the American way."

Posted: **Fri Nov 24, 2023 5:03 pm**

"Oh, okay," says Harry. "I vote we go to the police, now that we have something to show them."

Posted: **Sat Nov 25, 2023 11:19 pm**

OOC: So what are you doing? Where are you going?

Posted: **Sun Nov 26, 2023 2:08 am**

"Well, going to the police involves back-tracking the way we came in, which is where the roller coaster now seems to be blocking our path. Harry is voting police and I want to head that way too, because I want to see what's happened to the path."

"So that's two votes to head south along the path, I guess."

Posted: **Sun Nov 26, 2023 3:43 am**

"Lets check out the roller coaster, we must've got all turned around getting in here. Has any of you
got a compass?" Darren asked.

Posted: **Sun Nov 26, 2023 11:57 pm**

"I'm fine with whichever way you guys want to go," Dirk says, heeding Darren's outburst, but not sure the significance of the 'Ian' scratched on to his bat. "Together, of course," Dirk adds. "But didn't you guys say you were coming here to meet some friends of yours? Unless you think they are coming late, don't you think they'd be further in the park?"

Dirk doesn't seem to care which way the group decides to guy, but he does take one last look at the poster with the message to him before grabbing it, rolling it into a tube and sticking it into his back pocket.

Posted: **Mon Nov 27, 2023 3:16 am**

"They weren't waiting out front for us," says Harry, "and I don't think they'd have gone further in before we arrived."

Max nodded to Darren. "Good question. And yes, I do have my Silva orienteering compass on a lanyard around my neck. You might have seen me using it to take bearings a few times." He pulled out the compass on its lanyard and used it to point out north, south, east and west.

"I can tell you we have been heading basically north, exactly as you'd expect from the funland map we saw. We haven't been turned around."

"My theory is there is some kind of mechanical gate thing, built into the roller coaster struts. That gate maybe was designed to swing shut and cut off the path. Maybe it was a nighttime security thing? And perhaps the moisture from the fog loosened it, causing it to swing shut behind us?"

"Or someone has intentionally shut it. Or I was completely wrong with what I thought I saw. All the more reason to check it out."

Max can confirm that they have travelled north from the entrance, underneath the rollercoaster, and they should simply be able to walk back south again to return to the parking lot. Walking south along the gravel walk, following some of the prints found by Max, you soon reach the rollercoaster.

From the outside of the park it had looked like the creaking remains of an admittedly huge, rusting rollercoaster. From here it seems different somehow. There's no sign of the rails for a start, they must be high up above, invisible in the fog. You can't see anywhere to board the rollercoaster but vaguely recall from the map that maybe the station is towards the back of the park. In the near darkness, the latticework of struts seems even denser than before, closer together, forming a sort of tight mesh. Shining flashlights up at the structure the gaps between the latticework are thick with mist.

And the struts of the rollercoaster run right across the path. There's no break in the latticework to provide a route through back to the entrance yet the footprints seem to run underneath, back and forth. Walking up and down the tall structure, shining flashlights up and down you can't see where you came from. The gravel track just disappears under the dense mesh. Illuminated by your flashlights the mesh lights up, looking almost like a curtain of strings, the ends disappearing into the darkness where dim, vague shapes twitch and dance. And your flashlights don't seem to shine through the meshwork, the broiling grey mist between the strings is too thick.

Posted: **Mon Nov 27, 2023 11:38 pm**

Looking up into the mist seeing nothing before becoming distracted by the support struts, " There is something off about these struts, it shouldn't work. We did a project in class about suspension bridges and support structures and these just aren't....right...." Darren says as he taps the supports with his bat.

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2023 12:20 am**

Success

Fail.

"You have the makings of an engineer, Darren. I'm no expert but I believe you are correct. This is not how you build a roller coaster. It's all wrong."

"I don't understand what is happening here, but it's something very odd. Like a page out of one of my World of the Unknown books."

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2023 3:36 am**

"This is highly illogical," says Harry.

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 12:08 am**

Dirk follows the boys back down the path until the reach the coaster's supports where the others discuss how the construction is all wrong, "If it isn't supposed to hold itself up, then how is it doing it?" The conversation was a little beyond him, so he walked along the latticework a few feet on either side of the path examining it while the others continued discussing .

A little off the side of the path, where the others' flashlights' beams were dim, Dirk decided to take a closer look at the mesh. Dirk lights his brother's zippo before leaning in close to the latticework trying to peer through the dense mist before something causes him to jerk back and fall to the ground and sends him scrambling back to the group. "Jesus Christ, there's something in the mist. Something is watching us from in there" he stammers before attempting to regain his composure.

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 12:53 am**

”Are you sure we haven’t taken a different path?” asked Charlie. After all, there was no way they could have passed through the girders here. Accidentally going a different way was the only rational explanation.

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 1:52 am**

Max looked over at Dirk nervously. "Let's get a few feet away from the roller coaster. I think we might have to accept that getting out the way we came in won't work. And yes, Charlie, pretty sure."

"We could follow the footprints that are going sort of east along the grass, following the inside of the roller coaster. Or just keep going north along the path."

Already unnerved by the clown's head incident, Max wasn't in a rush to see who or what was inside the struts of the roller coaster.

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 5:48 am**

"We didn't get turned around," says Harry. "The compass reading was accurate. If there had been magnetic interference, the needle wouldn't hold still. The office is still over there, where we left it. It's just the entrance that's blocked so we can't leave. This must be one of those places. All right, let's follow the tracks under the roller coaster. That's our best chance of finding another way out of here."

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 8:47 pm**

Darren taps the support struts with his bat. Instead of the solid thunk he was expecting there's a sort of crunch. He places his hand on it. Rather than metal or wood it has a slightly spongy feel to it, a bit of give, but slick on the surface, gristly even. He pushes it harder and the lump of almost meaty material bends and then cracks, crumbling in his hand.

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 10:56 pm**

Dirk turns to look at the struts on last time before his eyes seem to glaze over before focusing sharply, "Don't touch it! It's a web!" Dirk shouts forcefully. He charges at Darren and yanks him by the collar away from the struts. "Don't anyone touch it! It's not a support beam it's... it's... I don't know what the hell that is, but it's not a roller coaster, they are pulling the strings on it... like a puppet or something."

Dirk doesn't seem to be making much sense, but he backs away from the "web" slowly and carefully before putting his hands on his knees and trying to catch his breath as he hyperventilates for a few moments until his breathing begins to steady.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 12:18 am**

Charlie looked at Dirk, then eyed the ‘web’ carefully. He wanted to test it but didn’t want to touch it. He scanned the floor for a stick or something similar but didn’t see anything, so he looked at the others.

”So, what are we gonna do?” he asked.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 3:43 am**

"There is a way out of here," says Harry. "We just have to proceed logically and find it. Darren and I have been in a similar situation before, and we got out of it. We need to explore, together, and acquire the data we need to come up with a plan to escape."

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 11:40 am**

At Harry's mention of those places, Darrens head snaps up, looking more intently at the struts, shing his torch towards the mesh as Dirk grabs him, shouting about a web. He looks at Dirk calmly though his heart is racing, then talks to everyone.Harry's right, we need to stick together, always in eye sight of each other, and NO wandering off alone, if any of you hear or see anything off, you tell all of us, no matter how bat shit it maybe. Like Dirk says, keep away from the mesh.Max have you seen this? Pointing towards the strut he's just slightly damaged.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 3:03 pm**

Not without some hesitation, Max came closer and peered at the broken strut.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 12:15 am**

Looking at the struts and lattice work it's kinda strange.It looks like a criss-crossing structure of thick supporting beams, each one has an unusual, glistening quality. Examining the one broken by Darren it has a gritty, gristly texture, at the ends of the fractured segments reveals a strange, almost chunky material, the texture like defrosting meat, dribbles of something that could even be oil...or blood.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 12:27 am**

Charlie moved forward for a closer look but none of it made any sense to him.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 12:34 am**

Extreme success.

Max pushed his glasses up and peered at the strut. "Maybe it could be rope, or string...?"

"...Or it is web. Is it moving? ... Vibrating?"

Max straightened up and starting backing away from the struts, looking up. "Everyone get away from that, right now. That might be a web and there might be something up there moving on it. Let's go, now."

"I can't explain it but I know there was a time in prehistory, before us or even the dinosaurs, when there really were giant spiders."

Max was clearly fighting the urge to panic and there was no possibility from the sound of his voice that he was joking.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 4:57 am**

Harry backs away from the web. "Must have been a female giant spider that spun that," he says. "Only female spiders spin webs."

Posted: **Sat Dec 02, 2023 4:26 pm**

Posted: **Sun Dec 03, 2023 12:30 am**

"I think I've heard that before, about female spiders."

Max started to calm down once he had a few yards distance from the weird struts.

"Actually, maybe not a spider's web. They seem more like tendons. That's what they make me think of." He pointed to the two tendons on the inside of his wrist to demonstrate what he was talking about.

"I'm sorry for suggesting giant spiders. But I don't know if this is actually better. It's definitely just as weird. And gross. I suggest we don't get too close to the struts and definitely do no touch them again."

Posted: **Sun Dec 03, 2023 7:14 am**

"Agreed," says Harry. "It's life, Max, but not as we know it."

Posted: **Sun Dec 03, 2023 1:11 pm**

" Right, so we all agree? We move away from this roller coaster? Then what? The other footprints? Darren asks.

Posted: **Sun Dec 03, 2023 2:58 pm**

Max managed a small "Ha!" in response to Harry, and even a small smile. But he was clearly struggling with the strangeness of this evening.

He looked at Darren. "I don't know. We could head east-ish and follow those footprints that seem to be following the roller coaster but not going under it."

"Or we get away from the roller coaster and continue north-ish on the gravel path. I have to say I wouldn't be sorry to get away from the roller coaster."

"And ... You realise we're trapped now, until we find another way out."

Posted: **Sun Dec 03, 2023 9:04 pm**

Posted: **Sun Dec 03, 2023 11:59 pm**

”Where’s the map?” asked Charlie. He studied it for a few moments and said, ”The way I see it, we’ve got two options. We head further in, or we follow the rollercoaster/fence and see if we can find a way out.”

He looked at the ‘web’ beneath the rollercoaster and shook his head. ”I’m not convinced we’ll find a way out, so that leaves going in as our only option, unless anyone’s got a better idea?”.

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2023 3:37 am**

"We'll find a way out," says Harry. "Darren and I, along with our friends, did it before in a similar situation. I think you're right, though, we should head further into the park to the north. To get out, we have to go in deeper."

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2023 10:51 am**

" I think Harrys roght, we have to.gp in further to find a way out. Hopefully we wontbhave to burn the place down this time. Seeing how the exit just vanished behind us , i don't think skirting the fence will help." Darren says as his shoulders slump.

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2023 12:35 pm**

"I think we're all agreed, we had north along the path, further into the fun park. And away from the roller coaster."

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2023 9:31 pm**

"Anywhere is better than here" Dirk says with a shudder and begins to head north along the path.

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2023 11:33 pm**

Walking along the gravel path, further into the park, if anything the fog gets thicker, feels heavier in your lungs. Making breathing just that little more difficult than it should be. A cloying, wet sensation in the mouth. Not far beyond the office you can see some shapes coalescing out of the mist. To the left there is the outline of some kind of amusement park ride. And to the right of the path there seems to be the remains of what might have once been a concession stand. But is now largely collapsed with the awning half covering the wooden sides. Cans of soda scattered about the ground. And in one corner the material is moving, flapping almost. With it that sound, a sort of rustling.

Posted: **Tue Dec 05, 2023 4:50 am**

Harry shines his flashlight on the rustling material to reveal what it is.

Posted: **Tue Dec 05, 2023 10:01 am**

Darren's eyes follow the beam of light, adding his own to it.

Posted: **Tue Dec 05, 2023 11:20 pm**

It's just a corner of the dirty striped awning, folded across a strut of the collapsed concession stand. The material twitches irregularly and the rustling sound occurs in unison. Harry cautiously reaches down and pulls pack the fabric. Beneath it there's a small brown creature, probably a rat. It's head and shoulders are crushed beneath the wooden strut, the rear legs and tail intermittently spasming and struggling ineffectually against its entrapment.

Posted: **Wed Dec 06, 2023 12:30 am**

Charlie looked down at the struggling rat. ”Someone should put it out of its misery,” he said.

Posted: **Wed Dec 06, 2023 5:36 am**

Harry nods, but he isn't about to do it himself. He also doesn't want to look at the rat's face, in case it's human.

Posted: **Wed Dec 06, 2023 8:39 am**

"Is it definitely beyond rescuing?" Max tried to assess how much damage the creature would likely have taken.
