[Dunwich PD]

Something or someone has destroyed the gazebo. I have cordoned off the area and collected evidence.

Photos attached.

Given the location and its relation to the wave of arrivals last month, it may be connected to Father Andrew and the mayor.

A connection to the recent unexplained disappearances cannot be excluded. So far I have collected six names: all people who appeared at the gazebo and were subsequently unable to access their Pickman lodgings. All have since vanished without a network log.

[06.02 UPDATE]

The gazebo appears to have been repaired.

	That's so random. Like, why the gazebo? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	replicants 2024-06-02 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps because it's where the recent arrivals arrived and therefore stands as a symbol? It may be a threat against our community. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm combing through CCTV of the area, but there is so far no sign of Father Andrew or the mayor. It's entirely probable they had someone else destroy the gazebo on their behalf. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Or someone who doesn't flaunt what they are about to do and melts into the landscape when they are done. I'll pull the cameras from the bank, in case there's something the others missed. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Did it happen before or after the vanishing? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The cameras aren't timestamped with when it happened? We can at least compare it to any data MIST may have of the people that were staying there and when they disappeared. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	replicants 2024-06-04 06:08 am UTC (link)
	None of the cameras I have found show the gazebo itself, so it's impossible to pinpoint the precise time this happened. Unsurprisingly, there are no context clues, either. The locals never seem to react to the gazebo going up in smoke/crumbling/a bomb detonating there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	replicants 2024-06-04 06:09 am UTC (link)
	There are no cameras that I have found that point directly at the gazebo. The ones in the area mainly focus on entrances and exits, and don't show anything of interest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It does?

I think ~~disagreeing with my superior seems like a bad idea but~~ it's possible. I do not think we have any evidence to suggest it.

What we know is that Father Andrew and the mayor both seemed animated when the last wave of arrivals appeared at and around the gazebo. Father Andrew appears to be aiming his radio advertisements at our community.

I do not know of any reason why mistakes would be upset with the recent wave of arrivals.

I know plenty of reasons why they'd be upset at the disappearances, though. Plus, the whole thing is right back to how it was - no normal human without any abilities could do that kinda rebuilding without being seen. Can't say if my daughter had disappeared long with the others I wouldn't have done some destroying of things myself.

No idea what they could have been so animated over on the day of the arrivals. Seems like they're the only two who even realize we're different.

	We know Dunwich itself is unusual, for lack of a better word. It is not impossible the gazebo rebuilt itself. None of our own have claimed credit - for the destruction of the gazebo or its rebuilding. If we could tie either the priest or the mayor to the gazebo, it might constitute reasonable suspicion to bring them in for a conversation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Has anyone asked about who might be responsible for destroying it? Most people might not just volunteer it to the community, especially if they're feeling guilty about it. I haven't seen anyone mention it on the network, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [sent on 06.02] replicants 2024-06-06 05:27 pm UTC (link)
	I have not. ~~I would assume our people don't go around causing property damage~~ The point may be moot now, but I can ask. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [sent on 06.02] harvelle 2024-06-06 06:08 pm UTC (link)
	I guess it depends on how invested we are in this, especially now that it's been repaired. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [sent on 06.02] replicants 2024-06-06 06:12 pm UTC (link)
	There is value in tying up loose ends. And if this assumption is correct, then we can eliminate Father Andrew and the mayor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Here's hoping we can get those tied up, then. (Reply to this) (Parent)
