Suddenly, Dr. Moore drops in from seemingly out of no-where. A long bladed cable snaps back into the mouth of a strange glowing contraption strapped to his wrist. The little man hands off a set of instructions in the form of a few rumpled up pieces of paper before firing his grappling-gun like weapon up and away and vanishes like a crazed little spiderman in a labcoat without answering any questions at all...
MOORE'S SECRET LAIR...
The papers show a crudely drawn map leading to a small remote facility, and a set of vague written instructions. To reach it, you must make a traveling thread.
Once at the facility, the door has been unlocked from the power-out. Inside seems to be some sort of small lab. The door is lockable from the inside. There are bottles of curiosities, small wisps that flicker black with tiny glowing eyes and writhe against the glass when anyone draws near, boxes of papers that seem to mostly be accounting related, a couch and a dart board and several pin-up posters of girls wearing very little. A massive bookshelf takes up an entire wall. "It's in the books!" is the only hint given on the map- you're on your own beyond that, it would seem! Upon pulling a book from the shelf, it would appear many have things stuffed into them, some of use, some... not so much.
One particular book may lead to something more...

OOC NOTE:
If you wish to travel to the secret facility, assume Cecil dropped into your thread, wherever you are!
The little building was the most welcome thing that Len had ever seen. He pulled the battered SUV to a halt outside and peered through the windows with deep paranoia. Just because he didn't see anything out there didn't mean that nothing was out there. He couldn't stay in the vehicle forever, though, and this building was marked as safe. Len really, really hoped that was true.
He pocketed the keys to the SUV before cautiously getting out, then sprinted across to the door. "Don't be locked, don't be locked," he mumbled. There was a keypad and a card slot, but the lights on the electronics were dark; there was no power here, either, and when Len pulled the handle, the door came open. "Thank God," he breathed, slipped inside, and slammed it behind him.
There was a deadbolt on the inside of the door. Len stared at it. Should he lock it? If he locked it, anyone else looking for safety would be s**t outta luck if something was immediately after them. Then again, if he didn't lock it, something else might follow him in. He swallowed hard and turned the deadbolt. Anyone who arrived after him could bang on the door and yell and he could let them in.
Inside was a small lab with lots of shelves and some high, narrow windows that Len was pretty sure didn't open. It was dim in here, but Len could see enough to make out boxes full of papers, bottles with weird little things in them, and a couch along one wall. From that and the dartboard and the posters on the wall, Len guessed that whoever this lab belonged to crashed here from time to time. Was it Dr. Moore's?
The map had said something was in the books. He crept closer to the shelves. As he passed the rows of bottles, the little shapes inside shifted and peered at him with little glowing eyes, and he shuddered, unsettled.
When he tried pulling a book off the shelf, something shifted and bounced out at him, and he let out a tiny eep and flinched away before realizing that it was a roll of bandages. That was a welcome sight. He picked it up and spent a few minutes wrapping the scratches and scrapes he'd acquired trying to fight or escape monsters.
HP: 25/25 Search roll: 11-15: A roll of bandages bounces out! Might take the edge off... (Heal 10 HP)
Guest Name: Leonard Dickens Guest Profession: Photographer Physical Description: Painfully skinny, tall, and gangly, Len wears cargo pants, t-shirts with sayings he thinks are witty printed on them, and vests with lots of pockets. He wears oval, wire-framed glasses with thick lenses, and has dyed his short, messy hair a violent blue. Brief Character Profile: Len (not Lenny) is an amateur photographer who is best known for his photographs of cryptids. He spends his time researching and tracking down local legendary creatures, proving or debunking their existence. Len is opinionated and loud, interested in everything, and willing to ask nosy questions.
Len tried another book. ... Oh. Well. Yeah, it looked like whoever's lab this was crashed here sometimes. He made a mental note not to sit on the couch. A few bandaids fell off the shelf when he moved the book, and he gathered them up and put them back. Someone might need them later.
There was a number scribbled onto several of the pages of the literature, and he made a note of it. Who knew what it was, but if he needed to know it later he'd better remember.
HP: 25/25 Search roll: 16-19: IDK Porn. Again the numbers 26621 scribbled in as though someone was afraid they'd forget it. A few bandaids flutter to your feet, at least. (Heal 5HP)
Len pulled down a book that looked like it might contain more information on the creatures that were now rampaging the island. Maybe there would be something about how to stop them.
Nope. Just another skin mag. He picked it gingerly out of the book and tossed it onto the desk, grimacing with frustration. He liked porn as much as the next guy, but this really wasn't the time for it. What he needed was something useful about monsters.
Exhaustion was catching up with him now that he was safe, and he swayed on his feet. He wanted to cry. This wasn't what he'd come here for. It really, really wasn't. The shelves blurred in front of his eyes, and he shook his head sharply. He needed to sit down for a minute. Not on the couch. He took the desk chair instead.
Within minutes, his eyes had closed, his head had tipped back, and he was snoring softly.

Adam grabbed another book. When he opened this one up, he wasn't surprised to see that it was about mythological beasts. That was supposed to be the whole point of Monster Park, after all. He was surprised to see a porn mag fall out of it, though. "Oh, whoa!" He hesitated to put it back. It wouldn't hurt to skim through it, would it? For the articles, at least. He shook his head to rid himself of idle thoughts and put both it and the book back.

Cora slips out of the suv, taking in a few deep breaths before she glance around. This was the place? This was where they had to be? Pushing her hair back under her hat alittle, she moves around the vehicle so she could wait for Tonio as he got out. Her eyes taking the other suv, which meant they had other people here as well. Chewing on her lip, she gives Tonio's hand a squeeze before she pulls away from him and moves towards the door.
Peeking in, she blinks a few times as she was surprise to see not only a man sleeping on the couch, but another looking through the book. Turning back toward the man asleep, she blinks when she realizes she might have seen him in the dinging hall, just before the giant spider attacked them all.
Carefully pulling her coat off, she lays it over him, just in case he got a chill or something. With so few of them left, they had to make sure they all lived as far as she was concerned.
Glancing around the small room, she looks over the different titles of each book. It was strange, going through this man stuff. But he must have a reason for them to actually be doing this, otherwise he wouldn't have left them the map.
Pulling one book at random, she blinks as she was smack with a roll of bandages. her first thought was to instantly use it on Tonio, to cover up some of the wounds on him, but she knew better. Carefully rolling up her pants leg, she wraps it around her bruised knee, before pushing her pants leg down.
Once again, her eyes continue their search, only after she put the first book away.

Parking the suv he takes a moment to rest his head on the wheel and catch his breath. Delivering a honk to make sure that door in front of them was unlocked as he rested. Looking over as Cora moves around the vehicle he smiles softly then shifts his legs around to get out. A glance was given to the other suv as his mind hoped the people inside had heard their arrival. Taking the offered hand he moves along with Cora towards the door only moving at a slower pace than he previously had been, the sharp turn had torn a gash wider on his leg.
Trying to hide his limp as they moved in, parting from Cora he went right to the bookshelf and leaned against it. With a deep breath he nodded to the other man at the shelf, for now holding back introductions, "I see you got a map too?" So they weren't the only ones led here. Tonio wasn't sure why but for some reason he felt very uneasy now.
When Cora approached his attention shifted and he too started to pull a book from the shelf. Surprise took place of his pained features when a roll of bandages tumbled out and hit him in the chest. With a glance to Cora and then a nod as she seemed taken care of he used the bandages on himself, wrapping up some much-needed areas and feeling a lot better afterwords .
"That was lucky.." He chuckled softly then pushed the book back into its slot, pulling down another right after.

Around 6'0ft in height and has curly brown hair along with a tattoo on his arm. his clothing is now tattered and filthy. Brief Character Profile: Stubborn. Anyone that's met Antonio knows he's a little uneasy around a large number of people, one that prefers to do his job with as minimal talking as necessary after all he's there to do a job not make a friend. While he's a bit of a hard-a** when works involved he is able to cut loose and lay back when the situation for it arrives. He's an observer by nature which can have him coming off a little creepy at times.. well that and his own twisted sense of humor. All in all he's a generally silent sweet man until his temper gets the better of him or his 'inspiration' strikes.
She continue to look through the books. When Cora wouldn't find anything, she just slip the book back into the empty slot. Pulling open another book, she finds herself turning rather red as she realizes this book wasn't like any of the other she just look through. Most of them were about monsters, silly little things, but this one....
Her eyes did however stop as she scans a couple of numbers.
26621
Arching a brow, she flips the page again only to find herself rather red and had no choice but to shut the book quickly. She really shouldn't be looking at this, but then, yea she um...
Shaking her head, she quickly put the book away, only to look down for a moment to breathe. that was when she saw the couple of ban aids. Picking them up, she turns then pulls one open only to place it on the cut on Tonio's face "There one less thing to worry about."

Pulling open another book, he finds nothing but a couple of numbers. " 26621 ?" He repeated them softly under his breath before turning to see if Cora had any luck in her search. Seeing her all red again he blinks and leans over to look at the book in her hands.
Was that...?
With as quickly as the book was shut it was hard to tell, but it had looked suspiciously like a naked lady in there. Blinking he moved a hand up to touch the one on his face, "you should save these.." He tried knowing that Cora wouldn't have any of it even if he protested the band-aids. Smiling he nodded then re-shelved the book in his hand.

She was starting to worry about touching anything in the office now. Shaking her head, she was completely red now as she hides the book back on the shelf.
Not before she noticed that once again the numbers 26621 was written rather quickly.
That and she seem to like finding all these ban aids, which made her even more worried. Why were their ban aids with porn?
Placing the ban aids in her back pocket, she leans back and sighs "I'm not looking anymore for a bit. That...it....ugh.." she just saw way to much she didn't need to see at the moment.

Found more porn, and ban aids. - holding onto ban aids for now.
Seraphim lost the humans at some point. They were in cars that moved so fast… and he didn’t see them anymore. They were lucky as he didn’t have the habit of hunting down his prey that Angel did. But he did want to play with more humans. He was soo bored. Angel was alright for the moment, it wouldn’t take long for her to fine some more entertainment, but he wanted humans, something to properly scream and flail.
He found a few humans in a little building, and landed near by to go say hello. He knocked on the window peering in. “Hello humans hello.” He gave any that looked at him a small wave with blood stained hands.
HP: 25 Office: 70
Name: Seraphim (but usually gets called 18, for his containment number) Species: Valkyrie - Reaper Park Location: Containment Facility Physical Description: Blonde, blue eyes, Giant wings, a spear and a manic grin. Just your typical angel, designed to impress. Looks to be 18-19 years old. Wears a white t-shirt and shorts. Brief Character Profile: After his sister went crazy he had a fit and tried to get to her. After he was also locked up and watched very closely. They were still determining if they would terminate him, but now it is too late. He wants to be free, stretch his wings and kill a few humans. He unlike his sister can communicate telepathically, when he feels like it.
Having tracked the scent of his toys to this small office, the Dragon snorted and and snuffled around the building. Yep they were in there. There was another monster there as well. One he'd never met before. With a rumble he puffed himself up to full size and roared.
