Rumors of a Phantom Town/Rumours of a Phantom Town

Thanks to Luke, the livestock competition concluded as planned. But on a separate note, the most recent rumors I've heard in Dropstone concern a mysterious phantom town only accessible by the Molentary Express. Once we're back on the train, I'd like to give the interior another thorough examination to see if there might not be some kernel of truth within this rumor.

But on a separate note, the most recent rumours I've heard in Dropstone concern a mysterious phantom town only accessible by the Molentary Express. Once we're back on the train, I'd like to give the interior another thorough examination to see if there might not be some kernel of truth with these rumours.

Mr. Anderson's Daughter/Mr Anderson's Daughter

Back at the station, I noticed a large group of people bidding farewell to a young woman boarding our train all by herself. I'm sure she was none other than Mr. Anderson's daughter, Katia. Though she was traveling alone, she didn't seem apprehensive at all. No, she seemed quite focused on the task at hand. I do wonder, though. Why has she set out on her own, and where is she headed?

The Sound of Midnight

While exploring the deluxe car of the Molentary Express, Luke, Flora, and I were hit with an overpowering urge to nap. Luke says he dreamed of two trains headed in opposite directions that swapped one of their railcars. Was the clamor I heard while asleep the sound of those cars changing places?

An Unknown Destination

Shortly after waking from my sudden slumber, the conductor announced that our next stop was a town known as Folsense. I find this odd, as I was sure our next destination was the town of Luxenbelle. It appears that the car we fell asleep in really did change tracks and was the only one from our original train to reach this new destination.

Finding Lodging/Finding Lodgings

Upon exiting the train in Folsense, Flora began to complain of feeling unwell. I imagine the cause of her discomfort is simply fatigue caused by too much travel. While I'm anxious to start an inspection of our surroundings, Flora's comfort must come first. There must be a hotel around here where she can rest up.

Exploring Folsense

After locating and checking into a hotel, Flora decided to stay behind to recuperate while Luke and I begin an investigation about town. Our first mission is to locate any and all places that appear to have a connection with the Elysian Box.

Note: The UK version is the same, apart from "about town" being changed to "in town".

The Locked Book

While walking about town, Luke and I came across a diary-like book. The book is fitted with a number of locks that prevent me from reading the majority of its contents. The cover is adorned with a sinister-looking goat, which has piqued my interest. I wonder what, if any, significance it might have.

The Museum Gate

Unfortunately the gate to the Herzen Museum is locked, and for the moment, we have no way of entering the place. I haven't any way of ascertaining when the gate will be opened and so have decided to wait on visiting the museum. For the time being, I'd like to focus my efforts on gathering information from the people of Folsense.

The Old Man in the Tower

I met a most unusual gentleman named Geoff who keeps himself holed up in a tower. He believes a vampire lives in the castle at the edge of town and that he must keep watch of the area to keep the vampire from attacking the townsfolk. Geoff has even adorned the tower with knickknacks that he claims keep the vampire at bay. I wonder if there's any truth to his story.
