Better this than the ineffable bloody plan.

Anthony J Crowley at your service.Call me Crowley though, everyone else does.

Anyway, Down to business, Does this place have a flower shop?

So far it looks like we're all about as confused as each other, so let's see if we can pool our information here, get an idea of the lay of things. As far as I can tell this place looks a lot like New York, but it's missing some of the elements of the New York I know. Can't seem to get through to anyone local on standard military radio channels either.

My name's Sam Wilson. If anyone needs medical attention I have some basic supplies at the address on these letters, but if anyone has more they could contribute that'd be great. Does anyone need anything else?

WHY IS EVERYONE SO CALM ABOUT THIS PLACE? THERE IS A SUPER VILLAIN ON THE LOOSE IN PHILADELPHIA! HE IS GOING TO KILL MY FAMILY AND I NEED TO TELL BILLY BEFORE THIS SCARY VILLAIN GETS TO THEM. READING COMICS IS ONE THING LIVING THEM IS ANOTHER WHY IS EVERYONE CRAZY?

The most unbelievable thing about this is rent costing $200 in Manhattan.

So I have a very important question. Has anyone seen a Chinese restaurant near here because I really want some Chinese food.

Priorities people, priorities.

So, hey there. I was going to ask if anyone knew how long this stay is going to last since I really need to get back home before my sister steals the entirety of my shoe closet, but after lurking a bit I'm starting to think no answer will make me a happy Buffy.
So instead I'll just say hi. I'm Buffy Summers. How's it going?
And I'm just curious, are we just supposed to smile and play house here?
...what is there to do exactly? I mean, I never had a real chance to explore real Manhattan so I'm feeling a bit lost at what to do now.

Oh! And really important question.. is there shrimp here?

I had questions but as it happens the letter was very informative.

My name is Jacen Solo and while this wasn't at all where I intended on beginning my travels it seems fate wanted me here all the same.

And who I am to question the workings of fate.

Rule of Horror #81: Always ask why the house is being sold so cheap.

I'd consider $200 rent falling into that category, which puts us potentially in the supernatural sub-genre, particularly the sub-sub-genre dealing with entities rather than creatures. Among the surprisingly short list of paranormal horror films set in New York City is Rosemary's Baby, Dark Water, and the Devil's Advocate, as well as Dario Argento's 1980 cult classic Inferno which, due to its connections to Suspiria and the not-really-a-twist ending, could also be considered paranormal.

So here are my questions: Has anyone checked the water tank and has anyone found any strange old books written in Italian yet?
