Fire and Ice

     Today is a day of mixed emotions. School was delayed two hours because of some snow/ice hybrid that has dominated our Texas roads, so I got adequate sleep for the first time in years, lunch was uneventful, and, with the exception of some ice, it was pretty boring. That is, until I checked my local news source.

     At approximately 1 pm, 271 East Oakland Street caught fire. The fire crews did the best that they could to put out the fire, but they didn't risk entering the house because of its shoddiness. Two hours later, it completely collapsed. William, Stevie, and I had made plans earlier this week to go and check it out.  I guess that isn't an option now.

     Honestly, I don't know what happened there. I think that it could have been connected to the Crusaders, but it could have just as easily been started by squatters trying to keep warm. For the moment, I am not going to make any judgments. I am thinking about stopping by later to see if I can find any connections from the building to the Crusaders. This is getting very interesting.

     I haven't told my family or very many of my friends about what has been happening. I know that they don't need to know, but I still feel a bit guilty keeping this from them, considering how this research is now taking up a fair bit of my next-to-non-existent social life

Information and the Future

   Hey, guys. Jaxon here. I'll be maintaining this as well as all the other sites for the project, being that I am now the "Technical Producer." Whoop!
 
   Anyway, on a much more somber note, the old series is ending. I know, we never got around to making the documentary on the ever-so-interesting lives of random teenagers, and I am sorry to disappoint you all. Wait, no one cared about that? Nevermind, then.

   We have elected, well, all but Lydia, to reserve the channel for our digging up whatever this cult is. Who knows? We might help solve a twenty year old serial killer case.

   We are split on whether we are going to go in-person to see the address on the card. I did, however, check it out on Google Maps. The neighborhood looks normal, but something doesn't seem right. G hasn't done anything directly malevolent, even though she has had the chance. Besides, she did get the journal back from the Crusaders somehow.

   I haven't gotten any closer to figuring out what the writings, symbols, or drawings in the journal mean yet, though, after seeing all that was in it, I am now convinced that the Crusaders are behind the murders.

   Anyway, I think that later this week, if we can't make time to investigate 271 East Oakland, I'll upload a video of us asking around to see if anyone at the school recognizes the symbols in the journal.
