In the summer, the town becomes a haven for tourists and vacationers drawn to its deep woods and the nearby lake Mebiji ("Best fishing in three counties!"). A number of resorts dot the lake's shore, and new private cabins are being built further up the lake to the north all the time.Mandrake University is on the Eastern edge of town, its dormitories and student housing sprawling westward, taking up a third of the town. To the south is the downtown shopping area where people can find most stores and services they would find in a larger town, only smaller and closer together. Finally, the north-western thirrd of Eastfield is residential and hosts both elementary schools and the recently constructed Eastfield High School.Since you are in town before the peak of summer you are here in the off-season, the resorts are all closed as their customers are hard at work in some larger city far away. And all four hotels have cut their prices. Some hotels have even rented out their rooms to college students for the semester.As you four pass the sign that delineates the Eastfield city limits in your three cars, you witness an odd and unnerving sight: Standing on the shoulder of the road is a middle-aged woman, her face smeared with blood. She stands before a large canvas and easel with a bloody paintbrush in her hand. Across the easel are scrawled the words "Welcome to the Twilight Land." The woman stares at you as you pass, her eyes haunted and hollow.Upon closer inspection however as you pass the woman in your vehicles, you realize that your eyes were playing tricks on you. The woman is covered in paint not blood, and there are no words on the easel at all. It is merely a series of abstract red shapes that, seen from the proper angle appear to be but mere words.Eastfield is overcast and quiet when you pull into town just as the sun slips below the horizon. There is almost tangible tension in the air, as if the whole city os holding its breath. There are few people on the streets, and trafic is light.You pull off the main road as you take a left turn and head towards the University grounds on the north-eastern part of town. There you all pull into the parking lot in front of the chemistry faculty building which is empty but for a single Hummer parked at the far end of the parking lot. As you park your cars James gets up from leaning against his Hum-Vee and walks towards you while he raises his arm as to greet you all.[OOC: From here it's all up to you guys! I took the time to properly introduce this and so you all know in what situation you guys all are and how everything looks. And euhm yeah that one strange thing, weird huh?<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Enjoy yourselves!/OOC]</blockquote>
