00:10Made it. Okay now checklist time. Okay door check
00:16window
00:17Check outside without getting caught check meet up with everyone at Harvey's house in progress
00:24Okay, let's go
00:26Oh
00:29Geez oh
00:33I hope everyone else made it out. Okay. I wonder if they found out anything new
00:49Yes, just what I needed
00:51Hey, you made it. Thanks again for doing this. There's a lot on the line here for you for all of us if we get caught
01:02Don't mention it. I know how important this matches to you
01:05And I know you do the same for me if the science fair got canceled
01:09So let's focus on getting things back on track
01:12So want to fill me in on the latest from social media? My parents took my phone
01:19Bummer and mine too
01:21But before they took it I saw someone posted something about hearing strange noises at the library
01:27Harvey chill since when are you the scaredy pants of the group?
01:38Cut it out, Lydia. There might be an actual monster out there
01:42Huh, no way monsters are a scientific impossibility. I mean, why would you even believe that? I mean, yeah, but the sighting post was removed like immediately
01:53And now the mods are deleting any reposts. Oh
01:56Oh, yeah, even the little Creek PD accounts are pitching in they keep spamming. Don't be a source of misinformation
02:04That's not already the internet
02:06Wow, really
02:08Mods deleting posts is weird, but the police coming in to squash things is even weirder
02:15That's a lead worth investigating for sure
02:20Well, there's still time to turn back like we don't have to check out the library right now
02:25Right
02:27Listen, it's now or never Liz the soccer match and battle of the bands are at stake here and your art show might be next
02:34Let's find a way in
02:55Man, it's really strange having the town empty and locked up like this
03:08Creepy
03:08Oh, yeah, you said it emergency curfews are no joke
03:24Hey, you okay, Liz? You look pretty freaked out
03:28Oh, I I'm okay. Just checking out the red glowing windows
03:35Y'all look, it's like there's some construction happening here
03:45Hey, look, it looks like there's something behind this, huh? Harvey. Hey, come here. Give me a hand
03:52Thank you
03:54Huh ab
04:04Hey, oh, whoa, I found a way in.
04:26Let's go.
04:29Okay, we made it in.
04:31Now, how do we get out?
04:55Wish I brought my soccer ball with me.
04:57Oh, man, that's not great.
05:03Oh, if there is a monster, it's definitely coming for us now.
05:09Oh, my God, relax, Lizzie.
05:11There's no such thing as monsters.
05:14Jeez.
05:16Why do we have to be okay?
05:18Whatever.
05:18Oh, goodness.
05:31Oh, you scared me half to death.
05:34I thought you were the...
05:36Well, never mind.
05:39What on earth are you all doing here?
05:43It is far past curfew.
05:45Uh, we could say the same thing to you, lady.
05:48Who are you?
05:50And what exactly did you think we were, huh?
05:54I'm Mrs. Schneel, the new librarian.
05:58And frankly...
05:59Oh, I don't know what to think anymore.
06:04Come.
06:05Let's go somewhere safe to talk.
06:08My office is close by.
06:11Oh, much better, I think.
06:15Now, you never answered my question.
06:18Why are you here?
06:20We're just trying to figure out why the town is on lockdown with a curfew.
06:24I mean, nobody is saying anything.
06:26Crickets.
06:27Hmm.
06:28I'm not surprised the authorities are being tight-lipped.
06:31But in doing so, they've caused more alarm than good, I'm afraid.
06:37If I had to make an educated guess, it might have something to do with the strange rumors I've heard around town.
06:45What?
06:45Strange rumors?
06:47Can you tell us what you know?
06:49Well, there have been some unsettling sightings at the church and graveyard recently.
06:56Ah, but you should stay far away from those areas.
06:59Do I make myself clear?
07:02The curfew is in place for a reason.
07:05You should all head home immediately and leave this in the, uh...
07:09Capable hands of the LCPD.
07:14Oh, yes, yes.
07:15You're probably right.
07:16We'll head home immediately.
07:18Thanks, Mrs. Schneel.
07:29Ooh, I'll take that.
07:51All we have to do is get to the bottom of this and get through the night.
07:56Oh, nifty.
08:12Oh, wow, fascinating.
08:14Oh, wow, fascinating.
08:14Oh, wow.
08:14Fascinating.
08:26Huh, what's this?
08:46We're not going home like Mrs. Schneel told us to, are we?
08:50Yeah, we're gearing up the Quad Squad for an adventure, right?
08:56We can't just go home now.
09:01Pretty wild, huh?
09:03We should listen, but it's way too good of a lead to ignore.
09:06So, we're checking out the church and graveyard, right?
09:18Hear me out.
09:19It'll be quicker if we split up.
09:21Yeah, good thing we grabbed those walkie-talkies then.
09:24Oh, and here, take a flashlight.
09:28Um, I don't like this.
09:30We should stick together.
09:32Or better yet, not go at all.
09:34Oh, come on, Liz.
09:36Where's your sense of adventure?
09:38This could get us one step closer to solving this thing.
09:42Sorry, Lizzie.
09:44I don't like it either, but I've got to go with Lydia on this one.
09:47Let's just spread out and see what we can find, okay?
09:50Just radio in if you need any help, okay?
09:52And then when we're done, let's just meet back at the library.
09:56Dibs on the graveyard!
09:57Ooh!
10:00Oh, anything but the graveyard.
10:03See you at the church.
10:04Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, I'm fine.
10:16I'm fine.
10:17I'm fine.
10:17Lydia and Lizzie, how did sneaking out go for you?
10:34Over.
10:35Ooh, the fraidy cat nearly got us caught, like, six times, but otherwise, solid.
10:41Over.
10:41All right, here's the graveyard.
10:44Now, where did Harvey go?
10:47Hmm, yeah, there's gotta be a way inside.
10:51Huh, there's something really strange about those statues.
10:56Ha, nailed it!
11:10Oh, I can do this.
11:35Yeah, I can do this.
11:36It's no big deal.
11:50Huh.
11:51Looks like the gate is locked by this keypad.
11:53All we've got to do is find the code and we're in.
11:55Okay, here we go.
12:02Whoa, Eureka!
12:17Ooh, I'll take that.
12:19Lydia?
12:24Lydia?
12:25Lizzie?
12:26Harvey?
12:27You're being awfully quiet.
12:29Over.
12:30Um, yeah.
12:32I'm just mentally preparing for whatever we could bump into.
12:36Over.
12:38Um, like what?
12:39Those weird ghouls and goblins you keep drawing?
12:43Over.
12:43I think they look rad, Lizzie, but I hope we don't run into them.
12:48Over.
12:49Over.
13:05Hey, check out those coins in the fountain.
13:07Hmm, I might snag them before we leave.
13:13I'm rolling for initiative.
13:35Huh.
13:36Wow, it feels like half the symbol is missing.
13:39Wait, wait, wait, wait.
13:40Maybe that's what I'm looking for in the other location.
13:42Okay.
13:48Oh.
13:53Oh.
13:54Oh.
13:56Oh.
13:57I don't know.
14:27Oh, nice jackpot!
14:57Oh, nice jackpot!
15:27Oh, yes, score!
15:42Totally taken this, thank you very much.
15:45Yeah, I could probably use some target practice.
15:47Nice parabolic formula!
16:17You've done it again!
16:19Fastest slingshot in the West.
16:21Nice.
16:22Basic physics.
16:23Uh, Officer Pickett, what are you looking at?
16:53Stay back!
16:54Don't!
16:55Oh, you.
16:57Sloane, you do realize that you're breaking curfew, correct?
17:00What?
17:01A curfew?
17:03I had no idea.
17:05Can you just tell me what's going on?
17:07Nothing.
17:09Police business.
17:10Go home.
17:11Oh, no.
17:12What's going on there?
17:13Just right behind you.
17:15What are you hiding?
17:16If you step any closer, I'll charge you with obstruction.
17:19I mean it, Sloane.
17:21You need to get yourself home before I escort you there myself.
17:24Okay.
17:25I'll go home as soon as you tell me what's going on.
17:29Scout's honor.
17:30All you need to know is that it's not safe out here.
17:33I'll be keeping an eye on things, and I better not catch you out again.
17:37Head home.
17:37Now.
17:38Oh, yeah.
17:39Sure thing.
17:39I'll just be on my way.
17:41You know, stay safe, Officer Pickett.
17:44Okay.
17:45That was officially weird.
17:47Either nobody knows what's going on, or they do know, and they're not telling.
17:52Hey, look, there's got to be something in that shed, because it's locked up tight.
18:22Oh, nifty.
18:36Guys, I think I found something.
18:38Looks like some kind of strange symbol.
18:40Maybe Mrs. Schneel can tell us something about it.
18:43Do you think we should go show her?
18:44Over.
18:47Uh, hey, guys?
18:49Over.
18:51What is going...
18:52Harvey, Lydia, Lizzie, anyone there?
18:56Over.
18:59I mean, maybe they're already at the library?
19:01I'll go check.
19:02Dedicated application equals results.
19:23All right.
19:27Analyze.
19:28Apply.
19:29Act.
19:30Go!
19:30Oh, wow.
20:00How fascinating.
20:02How fascinating.
20:02How fascinating.
20:30Dang.
20:31Gotta find another way in.
20:32Oh, gosh.
20:44I hope everybody's okay.
20:46Oh, wow.
20:47Oh, wow.
20:47Fascinating.
20:47Oh, wow.
20:48Fascinating.
20:49Oh, wow.
20:50Fascinating.
20:50Oh, wow.
20:50Fascinating.
20:51Oh, wow.
20:52Fascinating.
20:52Oh, wow.
20:53Fascinating.
20:54Oh, wow.
20:55Oh, wow.
20:55Oh, wow.
20:56Fascinating.
20:57Oh, wow.
20:58Oh, wow.
20:58Oh, wow.
20:59Oh, wow.
20:59Oh, wow.
21:00Oh, wow.
21:01Oh, wow.
21:02Oh, wow.
21:14How fascinating!
21:44Ah, yes, this should come in handy.
22:05Okay, ready to apply myself.
22:11Got it!
22:15Snaggin' that?
22:27What was that?
22:44I'm rolling for initiative.
22:57Oh, thank goodness! Thank you, thank you! Get me out of here!
23:35Why, Sloan! Wait, what are you doing here? You should be home by now!
23:42We're way past that point, Mrs. Snail! You've gotta help me! You saw it too, right? The monster? I mean, how could you not? It was right there! But monsters are real, right? I mean, how could they be?
23:52Yes, my dear, I saw it too. Monsters are real. But Sloan, slow down!
23:59And on top of that, we went poking around, you know, and found this weird symbol, and then I tried telling my friends about it and they stopped answering their walkies!
24:08Wait, what is this about a symbol?
24:12I mean, what in the heck is going on, Mrs. Snail, huh? What does this symbol even mean? Why is there a monster in the library?
24:20Oh my gosh! Did it eat my friends?
24:22Easy, Sloan, easy! You're in shock, but I need you to breathe! Let's take this one step at a time, okay? Can you show me this symbol you found?
24:34Oh, okay. Here, do you recognize it? I found the pieces by the church and in the graveyard. Do you think they're related to the rumors you mentioned?
24:45Oh, oh dear. I have seen this before. It's a symbol used by the Monster Society. They meet here at the library regularly, down in the archives.
24:59The Monster Society? Who even are they?
25:02Hmph. An unsavory group of dangerous instigators and conspiracy theorists. Frankly, I'm not surprised they're involved in this. They're never up to any good.
25:14Oh, then I should go check out the archives and see if I can find something there.
25:18Young lady, you will do no such thing. You are to head straight home and let the adults handle this.
25:25Mrs. Snail, what if they're the reason my friends are missing, huh? I gotta find them, and this is my only lead, so please!
25:33Very well. I don't approve, but I do understand. If you're going to get into the archives, then here, you'll need this. There are many occult books in there, but keep an eye out for one that stands out among the rest. I've heard them call it the, uh, the haunted book. It might be useful for us to have.
25:58In the meantime, now that the Monster Society is involved, this complicates things. Hmph. I'm going to sneak home and grab my notes. I've been keeping tabs on them.
26:11Whoa, wait! You were not coming with me? But I-I thought you couldn't risk leaving the library.
26:16Ah, this is worth the risk. It's my job to help people find the information they need. Be brave, be fast, and be smart. We'll meet back here when I return. Good luck, Sloan.
26:32Good luck, Sloan.
27:02...
27:11...
27:18...
27:22...
27:25...
27:30Oh wow! Fascinating!
28:00Okay, ready to apply myself.
28:11Ha! Nailed it!
28:17Huh, what's this?
28:29Huh, what's this?
28:45Oh, nifty!
28:54Oh yeah, this must be the library archive entrance. Spooky.
29:07Dedicated application.
29:09Oh, this place gives me the creeps.
29:15Oh, nifty.
29:25Alright, what did Mr. Sneal say? Something about a haunted book?
29:35I'm rolling for initiative.
29:39That's how it's done!
29:43Oh, nifty.
29:56Oh wow, fascinating.
30:01Oh wow, fascinating.
30:16Wait, wait, what is that?
30:19Whoa, is this book calling to me?
30:23Oh, whoa.
30:27This has to be the book Mrs. Sneal was talking about.
30:31I wonder what it does.
30:34Oh wow, fascinating.
30:49Ah! That's a monster again!
30:51Oh, I need to get out of here and figure out where my friends are.
31:03Oh wow, I need to get out of here and figure out where my friends are.
