°..I can sit down in a minute, but I do not want to sleep yet, thank you.°
°He glances around. Would you want tea or anything while you are?°
*Knocks on the door, a bunch of stuff in hand* CJ?
°*there’s the sounds of several locks being undone before the door opens. He’s there, and looking more than a little exhausted* Doc? Yeah come in he is in the living room- *he moves to leave a clear path, walking over to the matress on the floor*°
I don‘t get it
*the house is covered in an assortment of bright Christmas lights and spotlight lamps fastened to any place they could fit. It's a chaotic hodgepodge of holiday decorations and last minute purchases at the store, though despite not looking very pleasant, it did its job: eradicating any shadows inside and around the house.*
*RJ is working on his third cup in a two hour period. It's black and is drank like a health potion in an RPG- it's not there to taste good. He's hoping that even as he sips the strong, caffeinated drink that he can convince CJ to put down his own black tea and sleep.*
*They'd submitted the footage a while back, hoping that it wasn't dismissed as fabrication. Not that something of that nature had happened to their recordings in years, but it still stung.*
*Jim Station would probably believe them, and even if it only showed up on old TVs that only got local channels, they were hoping the warning about what they had seen could get out there, where people could prepare themselves.*
*They still needed a plan, too. But honestly- what could either of them do against forces from another realm? Aside from that stunt they'd pulled in 2017, nothing they'd ever done had been remotely special, in the power-way, RJ thought his gingerbread houses were pretty cool in the normal way.*
¶A.. camping trip.¶
"Yup! It's gonna be great, promise."
The Newscaster squinted slightly at the younger Jim. RJ either didn't notice or didn't care, because he was grabbing the last of the 'road trip snacks'. Apparently they were driving, not flying, out to a location neither of the twins would tell the elder. RJ assured him it wasn't a new place, and that there would be bathrooms and showers and it would all be fine; NJ is starting to regret saying that he would be fine with whatever the other two wanted to do.
Meanwhile, CJ was playing Tetris with what was already packed. Each little bit needed to be in the best possible spot, to maximize how much you could safely carry. That, and he specifically didn't want his cameras next to something that would jostle them too much.
Extra bags of chips in hand, RJ slid into the driver's seat, with CJ next to him. NJ tucked himself into the back, trying to figure out where exactly these two planned on taking all of them. And why keep it a secret?
°It is a surprise, Jim, so don't peak at the maps.°
¶...Alright then. As long as we aren't going to Florida I guess I don't have much to complain about. Just, did you two pack-¶
"Yeah we did- we packed all the important stuff and extras. And there's at least one nice outfit in there just in case you have a formal meeting with m- a bear, maybe a bear, in a suit, that sounds pretty funny actually-"
And thus kicked off a roadtrip filled with squinting, loud singing, gas station sandwiches, and any other matter of fun as the trio of Jims gets on the road seemingly without a hitch.

"Now you've got me curious, and it doesn't sound like a bad plan.. we'll see what we can find, could be interesting!"

"I think we're doing ok so far, right Jim?"
°A nod°
"We had a lead on something in the woods, turned out to be a bust though, just an elk yelling. A little disappointing, Jim was hoping it was Mothman- but we aren't discouraged! Something'll show up soon, I can feel it."
*a brief pause*
"Anything interesting happening with you? See anything story-worthy?"
°the camera is pointed at you now°
*the collar reads: Marvin* mew mew ((it okay))
¶Nice to meet you Marvin. I should probably find where you're supposed to be..¶
Give yourself a big hug for making it through this year.
