Intro: Welcome to the town of Four Ditches, Wisconsin! A generally lively town, but now a lot quieter. Some of the old folks like it that way, just not the way it has come about. It seems a lot of the town's kids have suddenly fallen ill in some kind of epidemic, afflicted by what looks like pneumonia. However, there are no signs its infectious. The rate at which it is spreading, soon enough the local highschool will be empty. It is unprecedented... except it looks a lot like a case from 14 years ago.

On May 23rd 2022, JJ, Chip, Em and Fortuna went to Four Ditches Wisconsin, all four met up at a Denny's to discus their plans and get breakfast at a none breakfast time, JJ proposed that she do what she did last time she was in a wafflehouse, which was wonder aimlessly until they find something important, Em proposed talking to the teens directly, Chip proposed checking their social media, Fortuna recommended talking to people who remember a similar events from 14 years ago, JJ then proposed that they split up and do all the plans all at once, JJ searched the Denny's and the parking lot, by luck a flyer to a goth sub culture event taking place later that night with a phone number and address for a Mistress Bloodmoon, Chip began investigating on social media, finding that all of the teens fell deathly ill overnight due to a unknown monster that only targeted teens also that the victims were generally involved in disruptive behaviour such as loud music, crashing a scooter into a car and running away and a bedroom window covered in blood, Chip said that it was somekind of boomer monster, JJ said they were looking for a republican.

Meanwhile Em and Fortuna rode to the hospital to try and see the victims directly, they were told that were not allowed to visit since they were not family, they managed to make their way inside using Fortuna's Private Investigator credentials and some sincere pleas that they're only here to help, when inside they learned of Vanessa Inkwell the main doctor in charge of looking after the victims and were brought to her office, Dr. Inkwell expressed relief that someone was looking into it, with some probing Em and Fortuna discovered that the illness was targeting exclusively those aged 14-17, that the illness was not yet fatal but it was definitely a worry and that there conditions were getting worse daily, the oldest case and worst off Lesley happened two weeks prior, the most recent was a girl called Stacy, with seemingly no connections with the other, Lesley had ether few or no connections, before coming down with the illness Stacy held an loud party, done with their questioning, Em and Fortuna, determining amongst themselves that Vanessa was a person intrust before reconvening at the motel with the others.

They began talking about next plans and revealing all there found info, they came up with two plans, trying to find out who moved into the town in the last 14 years was and who's car was busted, walking up to the reception, Jessica probed into finding out that the busted car belonged to Becky who was also the victim of the bloodied window, walking back and relaying this info, they then tried to find out Becky's home by sending Chip over disguised as a teen, the receptionist laughed before giving the address and requesting a picture of Beckys face, we were also informed that Becky's lastname was Inkwell.

The group then went to Becky's catching her just as she came home from school, with Fortuna and JJ the ones to approach Becky reassuring her that they're not cops and are cool, Becky was very defensive and immediately asked if they were here to blast music or run her car, asking why she should answer the groups questions, Em won Becky over with a beer, Becky brought the group to there back yard, in which Becky revealed her thoughts on the main effected group, she disliked all of them except Lesley, revealing that at one time Becky had a crush on Lesley before a falling out regarding Lesley getting with a goth girl called Roxanne who was also the receptionist they talked to, the group then discovered that Becky didn't know her dad, beginning to make connections, Em asked whether other people got ill post falling on Beckys bad side, she confirmed that stuff had happened similar to this before but to a lesser degree than this, and that she didn't know her dad and that she was born in the town that was struck by the same case 14 years ago

Suddenly Vanessa Inkwell returned pulling up to the driveway, quickly formulating a plan, JJ and Chip cleared up the beer, Em and Fortuna decided on directly talking to Vanessa, coming clean Em and Fortuna said they had just popped around to Vanessa's house to talk to Becky, Vanessa was upset at there questioning but ultimately let the detectives on the way, Meanwhile Chip and JJ escaped the backyard via human ladder, after landing they heard Vanessa say to Becky that they had to be quick, Em then prepared to drive around but saw the Inkwells leaving with prepacked bags, and immediately took chase, Chip and Jessica quickly making there way to JJs van
