by: Michael 03 Nov 1934 - The investigators discuss matters over lunch at a diner after the visit to Douglas Henslowe at the Joy Grove Sanitarium.

Scene 1 Still Nov 3rd, 1934 At lunch, people are figuring out where to go Micheal, Ralph and Nolan are going to the library and bookshops Mikhail arranged people to make a donation to the sanitarium Mikhail, Robert and William are going to the Henslow family house Left the diner around 1:30 PM

Scene 2 The library The three man are looking up the protection symbols and the sanitarium These symbols are very old; there might be some power behind them The sanitarium is built as an asylum; the current head is Dr. Lawrence Teake who is retiring soon; the hospital is doing okay but a little short in cash; some staffs there are dodgy; years ago, some teenager nurse was a petty thief They spent about 2 hrs They joined the estate guys afterwards

Scene 3 To the estate We drove through patches of swamp through a tunnel of willows We reached the gate Robert rang a bell; three big dogs appeared slamming the gate A old man in overall and holding a pitchfork Mikhail gave the note to John We drove up to the main door of the house The place is swamped by nature and is in disarray Finally, John is here and he went to show us mother Henslow Mikhail asked John Currothers and there is no Francis Hickering; he is the only staff Madame Henslow is in bed like a mummy petting a cat “Last time, he was here; he needed more help.” “He was doing business with Winston. They got into trouble in CA. He insisted on getting himself into a hospital. He came back in 32 for a few months; he spent most of his time in his study, writing and drawing. He was erratic and with wounds. I was scared of him. He was wandering the property in the dark, with a shovel, camera and twine.” Williams asked to look at Douglas’ study John led us to the study “Douglas is always wishy-washy and distracted. Except for the brief period when he was back from the hospital.” The study Plaster everywhere, ceiling that is caved in a bit Big shelf filled of books, shovel and gas flashlight on the floor, on the deck there are blue ink, paint brush stained with blue ink, camera, twine There is no film in the camera; there is no photos (developed or undeveloped) William found a photo from a book “Communion Rites of Victorian Death Cults” written by Francis Hickering Robert heard of this book before, edition of 1912; Robert has read it; it is debunked as bullshit The twine is notted 4 times and inked 5 times

Scene 4 Outside William is looking for the position where the picture is taken There are buildings on the property that were burn or half sunken “There will be gators getting into the property once the sunset.” We ended up in the cemetery The picture was taken of the main house at position 6 (6 -> 8 -> 15 -> 13 -> 6)aligned the colored portion of the twine with each tombstone Nolan started digging at the spot and found something It is a small metal box

Scene 5 Back to the house Currothers got us some rooms for the night We opened the box There is a piece of flat stone that was ripped off from somewhere and has an symbol of an eye (Michael thinks this is a warding symbol from Aksum empire), an envelop and a notebook and a key wrapped in plastics Letter from the envelope: Giving things to Winston, Douglas does not have it in him anymore (mentioned getting the stone from E - maybe Edgar Job-, not in their group) The key is for a safety deposit at First Bank of Long Beach, CA Notebooks: Lots of pictures of NPCs and drawings of the monster Robert and William looked around the house There is no mouths on the wall, just plasters There is nothing of notes in Douglas’ bedroom In the downstair study, there is an accounting book: they made no attempt to restore the family fortune, large amounts devoted to hospital bills, they will run out of money in 5 years The party is bullying Mikhail who felt very tensed in this circumstance Mikhail waited in the car waiting for others to join him There are gators out already Currothers opened the gate for us We headed to the hotel

Scene 6 Back to hotel at 7 PM Mikhail went to take a bath People went to dinner Night time, Michael and Nolan failed the pow rolls Nolan dreamt of digging up teeths that are as big as cigar boxes He is inside of a mouth; he was eaten by this mouth Michael dreamt of he going to the sanitarium in the morning He went alone and ended up as a patient in the interrogation room Nurse Hampton appeared with two mouths Both of them woke up startled by the dreams
