Welcome to what the locals call Black Thorn, once this town was full of hustle and bustle until a freak plague hit the town devastating the residence as they began dropping like flies, until one day there was no one left.
Now on a separate plain people who read the story of Black Thorn are being dragged into this town with no escape it is now your job to rebuild this town minus the greed.

“Never said you had to Chief.” Skop said, and smiled a little in spite of himself when he saw the dark skinned young man grin. He had a feeling that this guy was going to be trouble for him. Not really bad trouble just…The ‘I’m going to be in your way all the time’ trouble. Spoil sport.
He entered the house first, walking down the railing, just as that guy who was sitting on the floor yelled something out about a great idea. “Congratulations, but do you think you could say that a little louder?” he said rubbing his ear. He took up a new place standing a few paces beside Landon, crossing his legs and relaxing against the wall. He was actually pretty eager to get out of this place and take a look around the town – see what he could loot maybe. There had to be some stuff around here worth salvaging or bargaining for; since he figured that money wasn’t going to be of much use here.

Joey’s eyes where averted downwards towards his shoes as he walked around bushes and over shrubs. The trees had just about thinned out by now and the town was in clear view.
It didn’t look so bad – deserted as if no one had set foot in it for several years - A little battered up and most of the places needed work here and there but at least they seemed to be all there. It made him wander how long the place had been deserted, and why.
He laughed at her comment, walking with a little more confidence over the forest floor. “That’s right I’m the most crooked and conniving crook there is. My main method of attack is I like to strangle people with my dreadlocks.” He pulled on the short hair hanging around in weird angles around his face and back of his neck. “Wow. Forensics, sweet. So you do that sort of crime scene stuff, then? My uncle – God rest him – was a cop. He was Senior Sergent or something. I don’t know. He dated a woman who was into Forensics.”
He knew that what he was saying was completely just for the sake of conversation but he really didn’t care very much. She was pleasant company, a little quiet but didn’t really seem shy. She could have a joke at least.
He felt her hand push him back a second and watched with interest when she bent down and plucked something out of the bushes. As she turned around, holding a small lizard in her hands he stepped forwards with interest at the little reptile. It was greyish in colour, with small stubby legs and a long body. What really surprised him though, was that its oval shaped head was the same shape as its rear end. “What is that thing? A rear end faced lizard?” he grinned wryly, knowing that it had been a stupid joke. He jumped a little when he watched it flick it’s blue tongue out.

Stifling a laugh after he managed to get himself slapped in the arm with a stick, it was so obviously there I thought and shook my head ever so slightly before pushing my hair out of my face and behind my ear. A useless act as instantly the wind picked it up and blew it across my face again soft sigh escaped my lips and she gave up with my hair it always had liked doing its own thing especially when it got wet.
The tree’s were thinning and I could see the town a bit more clearly ahead it certainty looked deserted there was no two ways about it. My mind wandered slightly but I heard his question and smiled a scientist aye.
“Well I’m a sort of scientist, I’m a forensic scientist, I can evaluate a crime scene quicker then anyone in New York and when it comes to the bush I can spot the most smallest clue. Plus I have a good sense about people, see I figured I better start being nice to you because you seem like the serial killer type when annoyed”
I said with a laugh, hearing a rustling just up ahead I put my hand up signaling him to stop and stepped forward gently before bending down and lifting a bob tailed goana up from behind one of the shrubs. Gripping him gently behind the neck I smiled as he flicked out his blue tongue he wasn’t too happy I thought.

Landon grinned when Ambrose agreed with him and stood up,
“Hey dudes I had a good idea right on to me!”
He said enthusiastically and DJ couldn’t help but grin this guy was a looney he got so excited about the tiniest things, just then Mojo jumped from the counter his tail wrapping around the old light fixture in the ceiling, what a weird pet.

Jae nodded he had a feeling this guy would he just hoped that the others had some idea’s also, and that they didn’t get too in this guys face as that would not be pretty at all.
“No worries, just try not to flog em to bad ok I don’t want to clean it up”
He said smiling his white teeth showing almost blindingly in contrast to his dark skin as he shook his head with a soft chuckle and walked slowly next to Skop back toward the house the others were in.

“We got a comedian then, ay?” Joey grinned, glad that she at least started to seem like she was warming to him. He was by nature, a very friendly guy. He was a real people person. Hated to be alone for too long and really hated silence. Although he tried to be optimistic, he was also the sort who could turn from a gloating show-off to a mess of self doubt.
As a young boy, he remembered his mother telling him that `The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.`
If you wanted something in life, you’d have to get it yourself. Was basically what she was saying. And she was right for the most part. He supposed that’s what influenced her to do what she did in the end too.
He realised that she had started moving again and followed behind her, smiling his gratitude when she held the branches out of the way for him.
She must really think that I’m a klutz the way I walk around here. Look at her, she’s like a cat or something the way she’s moving through all of this. He hissed when another stick slapped his arm after he didn’t grab one of the branches in time.
“Well you’re a scientist huh?” He asked, side stepping through a “V” shaped tree to walk beside her again. He noticed the trees starting to thin out and they where walking at a slight downward slant.

Ambrose’s brow furrowed slightly as he listened to DJ speak. “So you think that this book has a life of it’s own?”
He was starting to get a migraine from all of this information coming in at once. The whole concept was just ridiculous. How can any of this be happening? He was always taught, as a boy to keep an open mind about everything. That anything was possible if you believed it was. You had to take the bad with the good. But you didn’t have to accept the bad days.
His mother was the sort of person who, no matter how bad things where, would always see the world through rose colour glasses. She used to say that there was magic in the world. That he was magical to her. She was a good person, his mother. He missed her dearly…
He then heard Landons comment and smiled. At least there was someone here with the same sort of optimism as he.
“Exactly. I for one am more than happy to have you all here. And if the book wants us all to fix the town, then I think that we should. I’d love to learn allot more about it.”
Skop didn’t like the idea of trusting these people, but what choice did he have? They knew probably the worst secret he had. In truth he wasn’t that bad a guy.
By rights, he was just an angry guy.
He had his reasons for being the person he was, and doing the things he had done. It was all for his family.
“Well if we have to, I suppose. But believe me, if anyone of those people start getting to me in anyway, I will fong them.” He spoke, walking slowly.

Jae stood watching Skop’s response to his words it was obvious from his facial expressions that he was having a hard time believing any of this. Listening to his question Jae nodded he had been thinking the same thing to be honest.
“I don’t know man but maybe if we go back to the others they might have had some great idea’s”

DG walked around the room trying to think and take it all in more trying to work it out in her mind, she heard Ambrose’s question about the book and shook her head.
“No I don’t my guess is that the book stayed behind probably to drag someone else here”
She said still pacing, Landon on the other hand had sat back on the ground and was picking at a scab on his hand paying very little attention to the conversation he wasn’t too concerned about how they were here. The fact was they were here, and they had to make the most of it.
“Who cares how we got here the point is we are. Lets make the best of it”
He said with his laid back attitude as he leaned against the wall.

I smiled at his question before I began my explanation and could sense his shock. It wasn’t the first time, Jeramy, one of the people I used to work with was a lot like him. When they went out to look for bodies he was clueless about the bush too and often stood there the way this Joey was, the hairs on his neck standing on end.
I shook her head with a grin when he bowed to let her lead saying he would follow and stopped turning to him for a moment.
“What happened to, I’d rather feel like I’m walkin’ beside you rather than stalkin’ you or somethin’ like dat”
I said mimicking his words from earlier perfectly, I had a skill of remembering information even the most insignificant things that most people forgot almost instantly. In my line of work it was important to take note of the little things for sometimes they were the biggest part of solving the case just look at that little book. Everyone else overlooked it but I didn’t and now I was here, how, I still didn’t know, why, I didn’t know that either but I would I was determined to find that all out sooner or later.
I started walking ahead of him again pushing back some branches and holding them back out of the way to let him pass. He didn’t seem so bad but for now I still didn’t know his deal but I could at least be amicable I decided.
