Family Demon Hunting Road Trips!
Bumping along a dirt road in what, to any sane person, was probably the most outlandish and least safe car ever, Martin looks out the window at all the wheat fields. Now surely somewhere in there was a demon. There had to be! The detector in the car said so! Granted, at the last stop it had lead them to the ghost of some old lady that was very dull, and her dog which had just been noisy, but still...it should work eventually. He needed to tell Marlow how much he liked this car again. Charmed to the brim meant: bonus! He could touch stuff. And hey, that was a rare thing with him.

Anyway, they were better than the Ghostbusters. You had to call those guys. Nobody had called them!

The Great Demon Hunting Road Trip continues!

I don't know. See, looking at it the right way, it looks like a decoration, but when you look at it the wrong way... Latin she had, even if she didn't use it much. It was Just Done to learn the nuances of magical writings. Runes were much worse as they could have several different meanings and only made sense as a whole. And depending on who wrote them.

"You kids just got here?"

The surprisingly harsh tone from the waitress jerked Marlow's attention from the menu. She put on her most inane smile, the one she wore when someone lectured her.

"We did. We're taking a trip around the country for the summer and thought your town looked like a great place for some hamburgers."

"You drove in?" the waitress persisted. "No trouble on the road?"

"None at all. The roads are in great condition around here. We'd love a couple of cheeseburgers with extra fries
I'd love some strawberry lemonade. My brother likes milkshakes. What kind do you have today?"

"Whatever kind you want," the waitress answered, still staring. "Big party tonight for the town. You two should stay and see it. Got a nice B&B around the block."

He's in the middle of squinting at the runes and trying to remember the meanings of one of them, and mentally grumbling about it because this would be way easier in Latin, when the waitress breaks his concentration. Following Marlow's lead, he puts on the more airy version of his excited smile and nods where appropriate.

"Oreo," he pipes up during his cue. Because it was on the menu and those were hard to find for some reason. At least every place he'd been to.

At the mention of a party, Martin lets Marlow deal with the invitation. On one hand, this place was odd and runes along with staring locals would set off warning bells for any normal person. But on the other hand..they weren't normal and they were looking for demons. And weird things were always a good sign in demon hunting.

She was as curious at Martin, and the car did say there was demonic activity nearby. Surely they could get out of any trouble if they had to. It was easy to get to another dimension if they really needed the escape route.

"A party sounds really great. Thanks for the invitation."

The entire diner seemed to sigh all at once. The staring stopped.

"I'll get you your food," the waitress said. She gathered the menus and left them alone.

Demons? She grinned at Martin. There has to be one around here. They're acting too weird and they might not even know it. We'll stay for the party and then go hunting.

	If Martin was the type to be prone to gleeful cackling, he'd be doing it now. As it was, he gave Marlow the biggest grin of anticipation he could muster. I have a feeling the demons here will be way better than the last few. It was practically in the air. The real demon hunting could soon begin! (Reply to this)(Parent)
