Episode 3

## Day 3

Scoop McCutchen arrives in Auroraboro on a mysterious bus looking for a scoop. She meets Baggy, who questions her about a set of people matching the descriptions of the Outlaws. Informing Baggy that she's new to town and has no knowledge of the comings and goings of the town's residents, they part ways.

Conrad awakens to a hand-written invitation from P.T. to join himself and Robin in their motel room for a brunch meeting of blintzes and Bellinis. Remy is notably absent since she is sleeping off the previous night's escapades. Conrad catches up the other two on his expedition to City Hall from the night before. Given the free time until he must meet up with his teens at 9pm, the gang decides to explore the town.

Scoop heads to Bandana Jones' Crystals and Orbs shop. On her way in the door, she passes P.T., who is outside of the shop "but not because she's there...because of other reasons". P.T. badgers her until she agrees to answer a survey and hear his pitch. Growing tired of this creepy old man, she exits to Bandana's shop pursued by Sinclair.

Scoop, an occult journalist, queries Bandana about mysterious happenings about town. Bandana explains to Scoop that all of the events in town are mysterious. Bandana does however relate to Scoop that the most recent in a string of houses has been abandoned due a ghost haunting. P.T. browses the books on alchemy in between attempts to insert himself back into the conversation. Once he successfully does so, P.T. identifies himself by name for the first time. Scoop finally recognizes him for his work fighting occult forces. Before agreeing to go with him to a second location, she asks Bandana to call the motel that night to inquire about Scoop's safe arrival.

P.T. manages to shoo Scoop out of the store and get a private moment with Bandana. He reveals his ability to hypnotize and clairvoy, asking Bandana to help him hone his abilities. She lets him know that a league of psychics will call the motel that night to set up his first rendezvous. He picks up the book "Alchemy Without You" and heads with Scoop to rejoin the others.

Meanwhile, Conrad and Robin go to the Main Street City Diner to meet the people of town. Positioning themselves at the counter, their attention is drawn toward Sonny Egg, a large, bald man who is happily eating at the end of the counter. The two eventually get the attention of the server, Lady, and makes an order. Robin attempts to order 3 pancakes only to be upsold to a final count of 8. Conrad exchanges contact information with Sonny. They step outside to convene with the other two.

The Outlaws go to the ghost house to begin their investigation. Upon arrival in the neighborhood, the ghost house is immediately identifiable as the one painted dark gray with totally black shingles and a For Sale sign. They check for obvious ways to enter or peek in to no avail. P.T. attempts to throw a rock through a window next to the door, but he misses. Scoop has to physically stop P.T. from using the rock to bash his way through the window. P.T. wanders off to check the back door. Scoop begins to head for the neighbor's house to call the family for a spare key. Before she has time to do so, Conrad finds a key under the welcome matt and lets them in.

Conrad heads to the back of the house to let P.T. in, only to find him eating crackers in the kitchen. Conrad announces the group to the ghosts of the house. Scoop listens carefully to hear a set of voices—from no direction in particular—viciously roasting the adventurers. P.T. starts shouting the ghosts, stating his intentions to bust these particular ghosts. After a set of crashing noises, they head for the kitchen. In a thick layer of soot over the oven, the ghosts have written, "Hey, man. Get out." They finally step into dining room and begin a séance around the table.
