Chapter 3
"Hello adventurers! We are back for another livestream today! This time it's just Jake and I here. Yeah, unfortunately none of the rest of the gang is with us today. I guess because it's still kind of early in the morning here, it's-what time is it? Oh- it's nine thirty here, and you know, the rest of them are just being a bunch of lazy asses." Andrew kicked off the start of the daily livestream. Jake was once again on the computer in the back of the frame.
TriciaZale: omfg me.
TriciaZale: im only awake bc I saw the notif that u were gonna go live and I just couldn't miss it 3 it's like super early in the morning here

TechnoGeek90: it's 10:30 here and I probably shouldn't be watching right now but anything is more interesting than Lancer's English class
Thatoneangstyteen679: thanks for going live rn. I needed an escape from the constant pressure of life and adolescence that chips away at my soul with each passing day.
hownottoliveyourlife: TechnoGeek90 R.I.P. my dude. School can b hell
TheConspiracyGal: ok but how are we all always here at like the same time? Does anyone else find this weird?
iliveforthememes2489: Thatoneangstyteen679 *~*
hownottoliveyourlife: Thatoneangstyteen679 damn…
bacon123adj: TheConspiracyGal lmao no
"So, yeah. Yesterday we got our plane tickets. We're leaving the airport here at nine ten AM this Saturday, and then we're gonna get to Illinois around one their time. From that airport we're going to rent a car, which we actually just finished making a reservation for, and from there we're going to have to drive an hour to Amity.
"Right now what we're doing is, well, I am searching for any hotels or motels, you know, just anywhere we can stay for the week. While Jake is just doing some searches for things about Amity Park, it's history, news reports, maybe find some places we can try to visit there. Also, we're going to be responding to some comments at this time, so yeah, if you want to just hang out with us that's cool."
TechnoGeek90: place to visit: Nasty Burger. Cheap yet wonderfully delicious
Thatoneangstyteen679: TechnoGeek90 that's a legit restaurant? How tf are they keeping business up with a name like that?
TriciaZale: hiiiiii I just wanted to say ily guys xoxo you're the best xoxo
A few minutes later, not too much had happened. Andrew had read and replied to a few of the commenters, including TriciaZale, who was thrilled just by the fact that he'd read what she said out loud. It was another five minutes until she had finally even somewhat calmed down.
From the back of the frame Jake had apparently found something interesting and then proceeded to read it out loud.
"Listen to this, man, so I found this article about what happened with that Ghost King takeover or whatever it was. It says, 'For over eight hours the entire city of Amity Park seemed to have been quite literally transported to another dimension, that many known as the 'Ghost Zone'. During that time, every citizen in the city was completely cut off from the rest of the world with no way of communicating or leaving.' Uh...blah, blah, blah, it goes on with some interviews from people who were there, oh, then it says, 'The Red Huntress, Phantom, a bunch of frequent ghost visitors of Amity, and even the Wisconsin Ghost had been said to have been sighted by multiple eye witnesses, inside the city's ghost shield during the whole incident. It is still unclear as to how exactly the issue with the fearsome Ghost King was resolved, however, many citizens believe they owe their thanks to Phantom for returning their city back to our world.'"
"Whoa." Andrew simply said, still taking time to process it all.
"Yeah. I don't even know if I should believe that or not, that's how fucking insane it is. I mean- they're claiming their entire city just got thrown into that freaky ghost world or whatever. What the hell?!" Jake exclaimed.
bacon123adj: IM LMAO THAT ENTIRE CITY IS A JOKE
TechnoGeek90: it's true though ...all of it. The force, the Jedi, it's all true.
hownottoliveyourlife: that is off-the-grid levels of crazy. Makes me want to go there even more now
NerdyBoy314: TechnoGeek90 no SW quotes allowed. Plus, there's absolutely no way that any of that is even scientifically possible.
TriciaZale: omg I hope that doesn't happen when you're there! Even if it did tho, ur so brave I bet you'd be just fine
TheConspiracyGal: NerdyBoy314 u right though. I bet there's this widespread conspiracy going on there, like, there aren't actually ANY ghosts. They prob just make this shit up to get tourists to go there so they'll make more money and stuff.
TechnoGeek90: NerdyBoy314 I will quote all the Star Wars I please, young Skywalker. And sure, its not possible. Even though we have tons of ectologists who have repeatedly proved it
TechnoGeek90: TheConspiracyGal u really think an ENTIRE CITY of people would make this up and keep up the big lie for this long?
TheConspiracyGal: TechnoGeek90 idk, are you? Maybe u guys are like some massive cult or something. Idk, but I'm going to figure it out someday
TechnoGeek90: TheConspiracyGal u do that for me
After another minute of cruising the internet, Jake seemed to come up with another interesting news article and called it to Andrew's attention.
"This one is about some other ghost invasion that happened before the other thing I just read. It says this one lasted for a couple of days apparently. It just kind of happened out of the blue one night and all these ghosts just randomly started harassing people. Some of the authorities tried to take control by enforcing a curfew and escorts for the kids. There were a couple of attacks on the main public high school and its says a lot of people reported that they think they were possessed at some point during the incident, even the mayor, which apparently caused a bunch of controversy."
"What? People didn't think he was really possessed?" Andrew asked. "Wow. That is probably the weirdest thing I've ever said completely seriously."
"Ha, yeah I'm not entirely sure on that. I think what they're saying here is that at one point it looked like Phantom was trying to kidnap the mayor or something, which is weird, because then about a month later the mayor himself claimed he didn't remember anything that happened during that time, which is one of the main signs of post-possession apparently. Basically, the town was split between thinking Phantom was evil and trying to kidnap or kill the mayor, or thinking something else was going on, and that the mayor really was possessed by another ghost. Fucking hell, man, this whole thing sounds like it's straight out of a tv show."
TechnoGeek90: the mayor WAS possessed, just saying.
bacon123adj: lol this just gets funnier and funnier with the more I hear
NerdyBoy314: really? Ghost possession now? Try to scientifically prove THAT one.
TheConspiracyGal: NEW THEORY! Somebody once spilled like a shit ton of alcohol or drugs into the city's water supply and so now everyone that lives there is just constantly high. They think ghosts are everywhere because of it and whenever they blackout, they blame it on ghost possession.
iliveforthememes2489: TheConspiracyGal fcuK OFf thiS shits reAl
NerdyBoy314: TheConspiracyGal at least it's more realistic than ghost possession
"Yeah, that is crazy" Andrew replied. "Oh, hey, so I found a hotel, only seventy-five bucks a night for two queens, and a little over three and a half stars. I was just gonna book it, sound good?"
"Yeah, man, totally."
A few minutes later, Andrew had made the hotel reservation and Jake had found one last interesting article on another massive ghost event that had taken place in the infamous Amity Park.
"Alright, last one. This one's a bit more recent than those other two, but it was still like, almost a year ago now. So, this time it seems barely anyone knows what really happened, but a lot of people were saying stuff about plants and ghost plants, which I didn't even know was a thing, but apparently it is. So almost everyone that lives there just has this big chunk of their memory gone. Like, they remember going to work or whatever one day, and then, almost an entire month later they just wake up again and the city was covered in dead plants and shit. They haven't talked to anyone yet who was in the city in these, what? 23 days, that remembers anything in between the first and last day. About a month later, when everything was cleaned up, some reporter managed to get one question in with the Red Huntress, and even she said she had no idea what went down. Most people seem to be chalking it up to Phantom again, but then there's some people who are actually blaming him for the incident, so who knows really."
"Wow, that's actually kind of scary, you know, to just have this huge chunk of your memory gone?" Andrew said, "I'd be pretty freaked by that to be honest. Nah, that's why I won't do any heavy drinking. I don't like that feeling of just not knowing what you did, it's weird and makes me super uncomfortable."
Jake grinned a little, "I-I don't know, man, I actually find it kind of hilarious. But, I mean if I were in that" he pointed to the article on his laptop, "particular scenario, yeah I might be freaked too."
hownottoliveyourlife: TechnoGeek90 hey, wbu? Were you there when that happened?
TheConspiracyGal: Damn, the shit in the water supply must have gotten so strong that they all started blacking out from it for a long period of time
TechnoGeek90: hownottoliveyourlife yeah, I was there
hownottoliveyourlife: TechnoGeek90 dude, that's wicked. I gotta ask now, do u remember anything?
TechnoGeek90: hownottoliveyourlife Me? No. Nothing. At all. I mean why would I remember anything, out of all the people in Amity Park? Nope. Not me.
hownottoliveyourlife: TechnoGeek90 . . .
After that, Andrew and Jake went on to do another short Q and A before the livestream of the day ended. They were then one step closer to their adventure to Amity, with plane tickets, a rental car, a cheap hotel room, and some information on a few of the crazy things that had taken place before in the strange city.
AN: Third chapter done, yay! Don't worry, it's not going to be too long until they get to Amity. In fact, I'm thinking just one or two more chapters from wherever they are now, and then the rest will be taking place in our favorite ghostly fictional city. :)
See ya soon and please review if you have some time! :)
