The next dream
The world knew about the strange dream that had over taken the world. Some people had actually woken up with white hair though their bodies had not aged like they had in the dream. They felt very tired though and had been taken with the sudden urge to create strange images that if looked upon too closely it made even the most well grounded man feel as if something was watching him.

Then things seemed safe. For a week there were no strange dreams or mass hysteria in the night. But then it happened again.

At first it seemed so innocent. The dreamers had visions of clear skies and pleasant things that made them feel better. Other dreamers who were not quite human could smell a sweet smell in their dream that caught their attention. They couldn't help but wander away until they found themselves walking and talking together happily as they walked through a strange market place.

What was strange was the people. They spoke to the dreamers in many languages and often strange beings with tentacles over their mouths and in place of their hair kept trying to offer the dreamers shining beads and crowns of gold.

Finally they make it to a far too bright shore and they see a tower that is unnaturally white. On the tower stands a figure dressed in yellow. They are suddenly aware that this figure is far too beautiful and far too horrifying to be seen. It must never be named but from the tower it watches them with it's eerie yellow body and it does the most terrible thing that it could it does not stare at them with hatred but with amused affection.

"This will be your end if you do not stop it. Awaken dreamers, for Cthulu lies dreaming in R'lyeh." Another message is spoken to a select few.

"Read the diary of Randolph Carter if you wish to save your people," a voice whispers to the few who have the journal who are among the people who were taken into this dream.

And so anyone who is not human awakens knowing something more. This time while they are left with a sense of wrongness in the world they know they have a piece of the puzzle.

For the rest they are dragged into another horrifying night. Snakes and cultists hunt them and a terrible burning eye watches them. Some are taken to the temple and fed to the terrible thing that they have burned into their memory. Others find themselves fed strange and terrible things knowing it is a twisted form of what they used to enjoy eating and upon waking will swear off their favorite foods forever. The chants are heard and a few people wake up having written the chant down. They smile knowing their god has chosen them for a great thing. The Church of Dagon has risen once more! All fear Cthulu's might!

"I'm not offended," Dinadan mutters. His dad is a scientist, a long-time cape, and something of a warrior-king. So far, Dinadan's primary claim to fame is that he's his father's son. "I'm kind of surprised it's me to. And I'm talking to myself again, and if you start responding to that, Mr. Carter, I'm going to be even more creeped out than I already am."

He takes a couple deep breaths. "Okay. Okay. I can be ready. Being ready is my hobby."

He turns the page.

There is a diagram of a seal drawn on the next page.

January 5, 1938

I have discovered that this seal is able to repel some of the creatures that are employed by the Cults. I have found tht in my adventures that this can some in handy Mr Palmer.

I am pleased to say I have narrowed down just where the temple of Cthulu will rise. It can not be prevented if he is to be put back into a deeper sleep.

Keep your eye on the news. The creatures in the bay they will select will disappear. They will not be able to stand the presence of evil and will choose to leave. Even simple creatures like fish will move out which I can not desern why since they do not seem to be bothered by good or evil.

No response to Dinadan's own chatter, that's reassuring. He grabs a pad of paper and tears off a strip so that he can mark the page with the seal on it. He'll come back later to work on memorizing it, so that he can copy it out on things. He's going to need to pick up chalk and spray paint too.

"I have to let the temple rise so that he can be put back to sleep?" he mutters, frowning. "I hope it falls too, when we're done."

He can pay attention to the news. He can even do one better -- he scribbles out a note on his notepad to get in touch with Cait and ask her about the fish.
