Jack has called Matt to the library so they can use Paradigm's network database!

Matt goes to the library! He looks to see if Jack has started anything yet as he approaches.

Jack's frowning as he looks through old files, freshly organized from his new personal assistant.

Of course, now he's made a terrible mess as they're spread all over the table.

"What system are you using?" He looks at he mess, trying to figure out what Jack's method is!

"Huh?"

Jack looks up at him.

That should be all the answer he needs.

"Are these separated alphabetically, or by abilities...or..." He starts rearranging them, looking for any with powers revolving around anything having to do with sleep or dreams, and another for telepathy of various sorts.

Jack frowns.

"What're you doing?"

"If we narrow it down to power sets, we may have a better idea of what we're looking for. We can start with dream induced abilities, and broaden our search out to general telepathy until we find something, unless you had more of a lead in mind...?"

He should have asked first!

"It's not just dreams."

Jack shakes his head.

"He could sink into a dark puddle and move about. I couldn't hurt him while he was in that form. He also took Abby's vision away for a few seconds."

"Have you ever seen anything like that before?" Matt starts looking for any powers that sounds like that.

Jack goes to look on the computer!

Because paper is a damn waste of time, he's decided.

Matt eventually finds something that seems kinda similar! There are two cases where Paradigm Agents were dispatched to investigate! It details two cases of children having been found dead. No cause for the deaths were found yet, and the cases are so recent they haven't gotten the autopsy reports either. The children were described to have a terrorized expression on their face, and their skin were always a pale almost grey colour when found. It also details something about a Boogeyman, or Pale Man and how it's suspected to be connected to those cases. Police were called to a few of them, but only recently started treating it as a potential meta problem. The agents were unable to find traces of anything on the scene, but the ones one said missions are currently investigating what they can!

What is Jack looking for?!

Jack is looking for any mention of a person who feeds on nightmares, though he's skipping through any of the older legends that show up. Instead, he's focusing on recent events.

He looks to see if he finds any more references of he Pale Man or Boogeyman! He's guessing there's no suspects yet, but he definitely checks!

Only two folders have anything to do with him as far as Paradigm are concerned. It would appear that Paradigm have only started getting calls about it about a week ago and were sent out twice. From what the reports say, the Police themselves were dispatched to a few cases prior to that! No suspects, though there's a comment about an internet phenomenon about a creature of the same name "Pale Man".

Jack can find all sorts of really old stories about Baku the Dream Eaters. Japanese spirits that originated from Chinese folklore! They are described as chimeras that protected against pestilence and evil.

As interesting as those are, they're too old! He needs recent!

He searches more broadly now for the pale man to catch up on his folklore!

If only someone would tell Jack about what they found...Luckily, Jack and Matt both wind up finding some sites about The Pale Man!

Jack finds a message board full of people talking about a Pale Man and what they claim are true experiences! Does he read any!?

Matt on the other hand finds a Wiki on a Creepy Pasta page! Sounds like it had more to do with the internet than actual folklore! Does he read it?!
