    I was sitting in the Pub with Walter and the librarian. It was late at night and I was a little worried about Addie. I know she can take care of herself, but there's always that one part of you that still has doubts and worries. The door opened moments later and said person came in wearing her regular clothes. Can't blame her for it, who would be dumb enough to walk into a town dressed up like a mercenary? 

   She sat down at the table with us, "Ah here she is! We were just talking about you!" Walter said, "Indeed! We have made a toast in your stupendous feat in ridding Mistpeak of Saker and his men. They have been a source of great distress for some time." The librarian said, "Nobody will be more pleased than Sabine, his dwellers might find some peace now." Walter said as he took a sip of his drink, "Of course nobody has suffered more than they." The librarian said as he trailed off and took a sip of his own drink, "I've been telling Samuel here about the terrible situation they're in, he thinks he may be able to help." Walter said as he set his cup down, "Yes well, perhaps, of course the thing is I was just explaining to sir Walter, Brightwall has an over abundance of resources. If you were to improve things around Brightwall, the people would be most grateful and when people are grateful the are also charitable. I'm sure they would find it in their hearts to send aid to those poor people." Samuel said, "There you have it. The way I see it you will need all the followers you can get to lead a successful rebellion. What better time to start." Walter said.

    Addie and I nodded and left the pub once again. Jasper called us back to the sanctuary and explained how we could find different people using the map. Addie saw that a man needed help getting some chickens back into the pen, "How about I do that while you help those two people there find the missing play?" She said. I nodded and we both selected those people and were taken to them.

   The two men that I selected were arguing about something until they realized I was standing there, "Would you be willing to help us find the play?" The shorter one asked me, "Sure." I said with a shrug. I mean, that is what I came here to do, "We're saved!" The shorter man said before leading me to the library, "It should be at the very end of the hall if you keep going straight. That's what I was told at least." The shorter one said. I nodded and went inside to begin my search.

   I went straight like the man said to do, but then suddenly the doors closed in front of me, "Don't go any further." A voice said, I ignored it and continued my way down the hall. Another set of doors closed, "Don't continue on any more!" The voice said again. Once again I ignored it and opened the doors and found myself in a room. There was a green glow coming from a stand in the corner of the room, "Don't pick that up!" The voice said, "Please, I beg of you!" It said as I approached the book. Continuing to ignore it, I picked up the book and opened it only for a ghost's head to pop out, "You humans clearly have no concept of the words 'don't' and 'stop' do you?" He asked me, "No I'm just defiant." I said with a shrug.  

    He rolled his eyes and disappeared. The next thing I knew the book started to glow brighter then everything went black. 

    I woke up and found myself on a random street, and saw an old man sitting on a bench a few feet away. a man suddenly appeared in front of us, "Listen you, you're not getting my lost play you hear? It's rubbish, worse than rubbish! I mean, what was I thinking mixing tragedy and comedy? I must have been off my rocker!" He said as I stood up. He disappeared and the man sitting on the bench stood up, "It would seem my dear friend that you have been apprehended by the ghost of Phillip Morley. That makes us both his captives." The man said. He explained who he was and how he ended up in this place, then proceeded to tell me that in order to get out we have to act out the scenes. He told me that he would have done it sooner but his acting wasn't the best.

     We walked over to the 'stage' and I put on the costume for the first play, 'The near tragedy of Oliver and Ethel' I was told to confess my 'love' for Oliver and we would be able to move on so that's what I did in fear of something bad happening if I didn't. The next play I had to dress up like a chicken and play the part of a fool who serves the king. I decided to mess around with this one and instead of making him laugh I danced with him and such and got a different ending but Phillip seemed to be okay with that.
