- While walking to elm hill john remembers the streetview said the car came down this place a few days ago, and the address was ruined. When he arrives its completly done up, covered in flowers and ivy, stained glass, etc. It looks redone beautifully in a period style, timber and white stucco.
- John shows the streetview to everyone, and peter calls charlie (coworker) who says he was here not more than 5 days ago and it was trashed then.
- Norton talks about google covering up stuff.
- The shop is called 'The Traveller's Shoppe' and the sign says open.
- John walks in, and a bell tinkles gently when the door is opened. The floor is a nice wood, the shelves are sturdy. But the books are overflowing, a calamity of books. Books upon books. Racks of literal scrolls in a corner. Display stands with pre-guttenberg books that are obviously hand scribed. Sat at the counter is a 'person'? In their early 20s, they are tall, very thin, Sallow eyes that are slightly too big. Its like tim burton made a princess. 'Creepychan'

- Norton asks if she has anything on doisstep
- she says stuff about 'warrior against banality'
- gives Norton advice to how to decipher the doisstep script and gives him a freebie.
- John asks her about a script he wants to decipher, she says its ancient hebrew and its very easy to translate. He asks her what books she has and she says to look around.
- John finds a book titled 'apocripha' and it discusses how someone had some angles come down to him and tell him how to fight the creatures of the night. It says the guy wsa doing these things up until 2006, but the events he is describing its completly different to events happening in the real world. i.e. in 1999 a bunch of zombies and vampries showed up in Northern India. But that was an isolated nuclear exchange between India and Bangladesh?? Other events mentioned John doesnt seem to remember…
- 'How much'. She picks up 2 d20s and roll them. '£16.40'. 'Do you take an union discount card'. 'Union? What union?' She narrows her eyes. Some back and forth and John almost gets scrungled until he tells her its the UEA student union.
- John pays and gets a bizzard collection of coins as change.
- He asks her how well it works given she moves arounds, how sustanable it is.
- 'Oh its very sustanable, we are green and paper regrows. We dont use visa or whatever who are big polluters.'

- He also asks her about ghouls and Jedidah
- Peter then heads off to the books she recommends.
- Bare in mind that this place is impossibly large and she said something to the effect of 'go 500m then go 200m.
- Discussion of Ea-Nasir
- Lee interrupts and asks
- 'How big is the place'
- the moment he asks, she says 'take a look in the back' and the long corridor is now a broom closet with no sign of Peter or Norton
- She says 'Now, count to 10, and try again'
- and Lee closes his eyes, counts and when he opens them again he sees a passage into the back again
- She mentions a prime directive and why she cant help lee
- She places quartz in Lee's hand, and it glows slightly red. When John did that it didnt glow at all.
- 'You'll find out about that later'

- Gets lost, fireflies appear showing him the path
- Getting to the lingustics bit
- 'Enocian for dummies'
- It looks very similar to most for dummies books, with a photoshopped on wizard hat and staff
- 'Not an official dummies book, published by doisstep'

Peter
