[QUOTE="TillForPie, post: 6351326, member: 6762758"] [FONT=Courier New]Nazareth Secondhand Books is in the same shopping center as the Gold Dragon buffet and the Super Value Mart (albeit not in view of the parking lot) so the trip is a quick one. Still, the drive is pregnant with the feeling of an approaching climax, and there's a lot for the group to consider: It's a strange feeling when an encounter with a ghost isn't the most interesting thing to happen in a night. This must be what it's like to be awakened. Faye is behind the counter when the group arrives in the store, napping with her head in her arms. She stirs and wakes at their presence, giving them a groggy nod before wordlessly leading them through the back door and into the secret tunnel in the bathroom. Through the waiting room with the ugly decor, past the Bermejo painting, and down the hallway through the locked metal door. Faye stops here to remind them to remove their shoes, and after they have they continue into Penrose's sanctum. The group feels the resonance of the place, a calm and ceaseless obsessiveness like last time, though it's less distracting now that they know to expect it. Runes still line the floor here and like before Faye avoids them on her way to the door of Penrose's study. She knocks and receives the same reply: "Come in." Everything in the room, including Penrose, Faye, and the four apprentices, is still layered with a blue glow. The room is still dominated by the great central table, still with a map of the town laid over it, still with the swinging crystal. But things have been added: Where there was only one chair before there are now five, four of them in a line in the far corner, away from Penrose's work. Most noticeably there is now a railing circling the room near the ceiling, reminiscent of the track for a model train. A large ball bearing is rolling its way clockwise around the room on the rail, at considerable speed and seemingly under its own power. It's outlined in blue like everything else. Penrose is wearing the same clothing as he was yesterday and it's obvious he hasn't slept. He's staring at the swinging crystal above the table and scratching at a rash on the back of his left hand when Faye and the others come in. He finally looks down from the crystal, eyes on Faye. She looks back expectantly. "Tea, please." She nods and slips out of the room without offering the others any. "The ley line is flowing," Penrose begins. His chair creaks as he leans into it. "It's weak but improving." It's clear he feels the problem has fixed itself and that all's well that ends well.
