"I'm looking for any newspaper articles about real monster hunters!", Al announces. "You know, someone in the area who defeated a monster. Would be best if it was a ghost but I'll take any monster!"

"Well... it's not something newspapers talk about very often, you see... But if you want local stories, we have pretty much all of the Washington County News on microfilm..." She looks at you, doubtful. "I mean... That's A LOT of newspapers to check..."
Feb 2, 2022 1:11 pm
"Can't your computer help with that?", Al asks. "You see, I'm also a member of your computer team!" She points at the list that she entered her information into. "Maybe you can use that to find what I'm looking for. Otherwise... Well, I'm a really fast reader, you know!"

She walks around the desk, leading you to a corner where another sci-fi looking thing awaits.
"Here's the microfilm viewer. I will show you how to use it, but I'll have to load the microfilm for you." She unlocks a nearby cabinet with her key. Inside are many labelled boxes full of film rolls. "So... we have here papers from... 1880, to... 1975. Washington County News.. Each film contains a year. There are gaps, but... most of it is here."
She sees your confused look "So, what year would you like to look into, first? "
OOC:
Alana remembers Eddard's index card and the Folklore book talking about sightings of the Mother in 1861, 1915, 1936 and the 1960sFeb 2, 2022 2:19 pm
"Well, I'm looking for someone I can talk to," Al explains. "So probably something recent." She's not too concerned about it relating about the mother in particular, so she says: "I'll just start with the last year, 1975, and go backwards, I guess."

Once she sees you got the hang of it, she leaves you to it.
Alana starts sieving through old newspapers from ten years ago... they seem much older to her!
Feb 2, 2022 3:23 pm
Al clicks through the newspaper headlines. Using the machine is kind of fun so she's enjoying this task. She keeps searching for any mention of terms like ghost, monster, spirit or anything of the sort.
OOC:
Should I make a roll? What skill would that be?

So, let's have a Research roll (or Unskilled: 1d6-2/1d4-2), and after an hour or so of searching, a Spirit roll to see how her focus is doing please. It can be tedious work!Feb 2, 2022 4:03 pm

The woman sets things up and leaves again.
You get back to work, eyes a little tired for the intense reading.

Al is bored out of her mind, but also too stubborn to just give up so she keeps going.

She shrugs and carries on with her work. The feeling persists. Eventually, she catches something at the periphery of her vision...
[ +- ] ...
from outside one of the Library windows, someone is watching her! As soon as she turns to look, they're gone, though, before she can see who it was.
OOC:
She is on the ground floor, so it is pretty easy for anyone to just look in from outside.Feb 2, 2022 5:58 pm
Without hesitation, Al jumps up and sprints to the door closest to that window to get outside and see who (or what) is spying on her.

Alana gets outside at full speed, and turns a corner so she can see the whole side of the building where the window was.
She can see a figure riding a bicycle and riding away fast. They look over their shoulder, and she can clearly see...

OOC:
We'll setup a chase if Alana wants to catch him. She has her skateboard with her.Feb 2, 2022 6:21 pm
Al hops onto her skateboard and immediately begins chasing after him without even thinking. "Stop!", she shouts after him. "Why are you spying on me!"

Davey has some advantage over Alana:[ +- ] Manoeuvres allowed
-Change Position (Riding): success moves you 1 space forward, plus an extra space for each raise
-Force (Riding): when in the same space, can attempt to force the opponent to stop, making him fall, pushing into an obstacle, etc.
-Flee (Riding): if there are at least 4 spaces between the two participants, the front guy can try to escape from sight with a successful Riding roll
-Other Tests: Taunts, Intimidations, etc.
-Multi-Actions can be used (-2 penalty to all actions for each additional action. So if you do 2 actions, each one will be at -2. If you do 3 actions each will be at -4...)
We will draw action cards as usual, and Clubs indicate a setback of some sort.
