> Zigzag instead of running straight. Hopefully you can shake them off.

You begin sprinting this way and that, quickly beginning to lose your breath. The deer skids a little each time you turn, but each time, it manages to recover from the time lost.

> Drop your backpack in front of its legs, that will hopefully make the deer trip.

No, you’re not going to do that. Your backpack is currently holding all your things, and it will be difficult to transfer all of your items onto your back, which is inexplicably capable of storing an unlimited number of objects.

Instead, you decide to pull out your kitchen knife and throw it at the deer in hopes that it will panic and run off course. After storing your silver knife back in, you whip out your kitchen knife and throw it. It spins in the air, and eventually lands right into the deer’s eye.

-EEEEEEEEEEEEEE…!-

You hear the deer squeal out in pain as it jumps up and down and tosses the robot rabbit off. You see the knife land on the ground, its blade soaked in blood.

>Run inside the nearest available building (preferable one where the deer cannot enter)

You take this opportunity to run into the music store, which is open for some inexplicable reason. The inside is unlit, but in the darkness, you can make out three aisles. Light shines in from the window to the left of the main door, where you can see a mock staging area. Past this lies a number of keyboards and pianos, along with a recording booth. You see a number of guitars lining the walls in the middle aisle. The third aisle seems to contain a number of stands for holding songbooks, along with a number of more instruments shining on the walls. You walk behind one of these mini-shelves, and hide behind it. You can hear the robot bunny’s footsteps step close by the store entrance.

> Take a Guitar and a Guitar Strap after dealing with Rabbit

After about a minute, you hear the rabbit animatronic begin to walk away. You then return to the middle section of the store and grab one of the guitars and straps. You then stow them away.

> Consult the OCCULT TEXT on ways to deal with possessed/haunted animatronics

You pull out the occult text and begin sifting through its contents. You see a number of chapters which seem to pertain to a number of occult topics, such as “Prayers and Conjurations,” “Concerning the Medals or Pentacles, And the Manner of Constructing Them,” and “Of the Experiment of Invisibility, And How It Should Be Performed.”

However, you also take notice of a chapter named “How To Render Thyself Master of A Treasure Possessed By the Spirits,” and you flip open to it.

"The Earth being inhabited, as I have before said unto thee, by a great number of Celestial Beings and Spirits…”

Your twelve year old mind has difficulty trying to parse what is written, though it seems to talking about gnomes or something. Reading down, there seems to be a section on how to perform this so-called ritual, but it appears to be too late in the month to perform it.

You flip through the book once again, looking at the number of magic circles. A few of them seem to interest you, notably the First Pentacle of Saturn, The Third Pentacle of Mars, The Sixth Pentacle of Mars, and The Sixth Pentacle of the Sun. Given enough time, you could probably reproduce them, but you don’t know what exactly you’re supposed to do to make them work.

You flip open to the chapter labeled “Concerning the Medals or Pentacles, And the Manner of Constructing Them” and attempt to read through it. You aren’t sure whether you fully understand everything, but apparently you need to make these things with specific colors, as listed in the text, and use exorcised pens/writing implements. You aren’t sure how to go about doing this. Furthermore, it looks like you need some sort of perfume and incense, and something called “virgin paper.” It also says the sky needs to be clear, yet it is cloudy today, and you also need to perform this at a specific time, though the text isn’t clear on when this is. You also need a separate space and companions to help you perform this ritual.

This stuff is seriously complicated.

You see a door open up in the back area of the shop, and you rush over into the piano aisle. You peek over the edge, and you see some sort of fat, green alien thing step into the room, wearing some sort of basic cloth and fur outfit. He seems to be holding a large, bloody hatchet, humming to himself as he walks through the aisle.

That may be a bit difficult. Considering how long you have been dabbling with the occult text, you aren’t really sure if the rabbit animatronic is still around. Trying to lure the big alien dude would require you knowing where the rabbit robot is. You could probably yell or use some of the equipment lying around to make a lot of noise, but that would risk alerting the alien guy.

Either way, after a few seconds, you see the alien guy walk out the front door. You duck behind one of the keyboards, and you listen as the green alien guy walks away from the building. After a few minutes, you no longer hear him.

That was a relief.

The text doesn’t seem to contain any information regarding green alien things or anything about “Not-Shrek” creatures, as it mostly seems concerned with rituals and the like.

> Make sure to avoid being found by either Not-Shrek or Not-Springtrap.

> Try to eavesdrop on Not-Shrek. Be sneaky about it.

You creep up to the door. You then slowly tug on it, hoping that nothing will hear you. You then go through the outer door and peek on out. The rabbit animatronic seems to have disappeared entirely, along with Not-Shrek. However, you do see a car in the distance driving eastward down the main highway. You try looking around the area, your silver knife at the ready, but you don’t seem to see any signs of the animatronic or Not-Shrek. You also notice that the deer seems to have disappeared, but your knife remains on the ground, stained with blackish blood.

> Get your knife back, but look out for monsters...

You do not see any monsters within the nearby vicinity. You then step up to your knife and pick it up. Suddenly, a skinless deer head with blood pouring out of its empty sockets flashes before your eyes. You jump back, dropping the knife. A black mist sizzles out from the edge of the blade.

The car has already disappeared off into the distance, and you couldn’t get a good look at the driver from where you were standing. Seeing as that thing is cursed, you don’t really feel like stepping near it, especially now that you’re starting to hear faint whispers lingering in the air. Using your functioning hand, you reinforce your tether with your guitar strap.

> Check if the book has information on magic blood, deers or possessed knives.

You begin poring through the text once again. There is a chapter labeled “To Hinder a Sportsman from Killing Any Game,” but it doesn’t say anything about Sauron!deers. You do find that “skin of a stag” is supposed to be some ritual component, but that might be difficult to obtain. There is mention of “blood of a black hen” but you wouldn’t know where to find such a thing, or whether it actually applies to this situation. You do remember, however, that there happens to be a cattle farm on the south end of town. Blood also seems to be used in a number of other rituals.

A few chapters mention using a “Knife” or a “Sickle” for tracing out the magical circles mentioned before, but you don’t see anything detailing their properties. You also don’t find any specific lore on deer.

You’ve probably spent about thirty or so minutes looking through the book. You see about three kids standing around you with a blank look on their faces. Their skins seem a bit clammy and their heads are tilted slightly to the left. The whispers start getting a bit louder.

You start running in an easterly direction, parallel to the main highway. Remembering the zombies near the Jewel Foods store, you run across the highway, as there don’t seem to be any cars for miles. As you cross, you hear the sounds of gunfire somewhere in the distance. You don’t look back to see whether the strange kids have followed you.

After a few minutes, you find yourself standing by an intersection, just a block south of the Jewel Foods store. Here, there seems to be a gas station, with a realtor’s office sitting right across the street from it. More shops lie north and south along Main street, with a Christian book store on the west side of the Main street. All three buildings are unlit, but the interior of the realtor’s office is concealed by curtains.

You see several rotting corpses along the streets and sidewalk. A few of them look like they’ve had their heads blasted open with shotgun pellets, while others seem to have their bodies crushed by tires, which have left skid marks and blackish blood on the sidewalk. You can still see the bodies struggling while lying helpless on the ground.

Furthermore, the kids from before don’t seem to have followed you.

> Walk off the road, but keep it in sight and walk parallel to it.

>Avoid the "corpses".

You step around behind the Christian bookstore and walk down Southward, parallel to the road. Somewhere far up ahead, you can see the drive-in area to Pinewood Middle School. As you pass around behind the Christian bookstore, you see a shop selling outdoor furnishings, whose windows seem to have been broken into. There are a number of other minor shops, but then eventually Main street turns left, leaving a sub-outlet still going straight ahead to more homes and Pinewood Middle School. The sub-district that this road leads into seems a bit more heavily forested than the immediate surrounding area. Further along the main road, you see a large, paved-down lot with a hydraulic excavator standing in the middle.

You hear some sort of faint singing coming from within the Christian bookstore.
