Well, that was certainly a night to remember, as advertised. I, along with the Barista and New Guy, attended the Cannon Beach Archeologist Society’s dinner party along with the Professor. Of course, this was not an event open to the public, nor was it actually a meeting of an Archeologist Society. No. It was a meeting of the Society of Nom de Plume. A UK-based group well-versed in the supernatural with a particular interest in anachronistic literature. As I understand it.
In attendance at this strange dinner party was a mysterious pair who primarily went by the conjoined name of “The Couple,” a quiet girl who I believe went by the name of “Anne,” a rather strange woman by the name of “Rose,” a spry gentleman by the name of “Anthony,” a young woman who went by “Sarah,” and an eccentric character under the name “Xander.” No signs of “Will,” though. Were you really expecting him to make an appearance here, Manager? In any case, the meeting and presence of the Society in Cannon Beach are heavily tied to this “Mechanism” they are working on assembling.
However, the party went awry. Shocking, I know. While pleasantries were being had, The Couple took the pieces of the Mechanism to put away for safekeeping. All-in-all I would say we were in the dark for no longer than a minute. Though none of us heard the assailant, the Couple and the pieces of the Mechanism were gone when the lights came back on. The mysterious kidnapper… kidnappers… they were both Unseen and Unheard. New members of the Dark. The Society has been keeping an eye on them. Foul twisted creatures dripping in the sharp metallic oil that shimmers between clear and ink black. It certainly confirms Umbra’s interest in whatever this “Mechanism” is. It also possibly indicates a traitor among the Society’s ranks. Though, that is hardly our problem to deal with. Considering “Palm Beach” no longer exists on any maps, we have a week or less to find Gemini before they can return to Florida with the Mechanism pieces. Assuming there is a Palm Beach to return to.
That’s all.
Big Guy.
