I've been looking for the source of the graveyard music, like I'm sure half of us are. I haven't been able to pinpoint where it's originating from within the city, but I have found a hole in the net. There's no music in the graveyard at the Holy Light Church, and I don't think it has anything to do with its geographic location.

I wouldn't consider it a safe haven, if you're trying to escape the effects. The people belonging to the church are unpleasant, and very territorial, and any more potential converts will probably start to strain credulity. They're very concerned with hell and damnation and being judged by their god.


[There's a series of pictures of stained glass windows and paintings, taken from a slightly odd angle, probably covertly.

They all seem to feature eyes very heavily.]


Their choice of decorating may not actually be telling, but it is very interesting.

I've had a little more success looking for where the threat originally started. Gloucester isn't the only place that's had to deal with the music. It's been happening up and down the northern part of the Eastern Seaboard for the past decade, always between September and December.

The very first incident was in Wolf Trap, Virginia, ten years ago. Not long before the music started, there was a house fire in the town. The only survivor was the family's 10-year-old daughter, Amber.


[Only a single picture this time, a newspaper reprint of a family photo. Those who were present at the nightmare version of the previous year's Hallowe'en party might recognize the girl in the photo as someone who bears a striking resemblance to Ava, the Lullaby Girl.]

She vanished into the foster system very quickly. It may be possible to find out where she went, and to track down the "Mr. S" who's been aiming her from there, but it will take some time.

Truer words were never spoken - well. Typed.

You know, I don't doubt that for a second.

I do supposedly make a great getaway driver. I can even hotwire a car - which probably doesn't impress you in the least.

I don't doubt it. I guess I'll just have to get creative.

Keep me in the loop? I'd appreciate it. I hear people can disappear without warning.

I wonder if there's a record of how many.

[Maybe something else to dig for.]

That'd be appreciated - though I do specialize in those, too.

Well, I do happen to know what kind of Starbucks coffee she likes. Thanks for the tip - I will ask her.

[So, yes. He will ask nicely.]

I guess I should start keeping my own, too. Though I think I know more faces than names. I ought to change that. I mostly only know of people who were here and gone before I was. Sometimes I still feel new.

Somehow, you'd really think I'd be better at that.

Guess it's different every time, though. It's still no excuse. I don't want to keep feeling like my feet are about to get taken out from under me, you know?

That is a big part of the problem. One of the biggest, even. Apocalypses, we can face.

But not if we don't know what we need to know to do it.
