Sewer Dragon:



There is a call about a ghost loose in the SoHo neighborhood. Your team drives down Fifth Avenue and observes a manhole cover being launched into the air and landing in the street. Another manhole lands on and pierces a car hood near a tattoo shop. The Sewer Dragon emerges, and weaves through traffic, flying head-on toward your car. It flies past the driver's side, rubbing against the car. Two cars crash at the intersection, distracted by the ghost.

This thing is the size of a city bus. It is shimmering blue with a long tail and wispy blue tendrils floating in its wake. Can your team capture it?



Tasks

👻Read a book with a blue cover (min 50%)

👻Read a book with a tattoo on the cover

👻Read a book with a dragon

👻Read a book with a bus on the cover

[Laura]

I’m reading a book with a dragon in it right now. I can also find a tattoo or a blue cover. Of the top of my head I don’t think I have a bus on cover book. I can look, but not until I get home tomorrow.

[Berit☀️✨]

I hate all these cover tasks, it’s just difficult when you have a visual impairment. If anyone wants to guide me towards some books I’ll read whatever, well not whatever but most of you know what I like.

[LaurLa]

The only book I can think of off the top of my head is the new cover for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban which has the night bus on the cover.


I've already read it this year, so don't really want to reread... but someone else might want to

[Laura]

Quick stop for food. There are probably a few buses on this list.

[LaurLa]

Like Laura I'd have to go searching for a bus... the others I can find if not necessarily read right now

[LaurLa]

Did some digging...

[Berit☀️✨]

The Lost Ticket is a really good book, if need be I could read it again.

[Louise]

Currently reading a blue cover. I’ll need to go hunting for the others

[LaurLa]

If no one else raises their hand, I'll read The Christmas Bus... it works for TW this round, has a good page count and best yet, is on KU 😂

But I can be convinced to go for a different task!

[Laura]

Does this work for everyone?

Louise - 👻Read a book with a blue cover (min 50%)

Berit - 👻Read a book with a tattoo on the cover

Laura - 👻Read a book with a dragon

LaurLa - 👻Read a book with a bus on the cover

Berit, would you need direction to find a tattoo cover?

Works for me, @Berit I’ve got a couple of books with tattoos I can read if you would prefer the blue cover task

[Berit☀️✨]

Yeah help with finding a tattoo would be helpful

[Laura]

Berit, do you want the blue cover task? Or the dragon task instead? I wasn’t trying to stick you with tattoo, I just thought you might have a bunch of them available!

[Berit☀️✨]

I’m good with whatever but I’m not sure if I have a tattoo book or not.

[Laura]

Do lists help you, Berit? Or would you rather get individual recommendations?

[Berit☀️✨]

Either is fine

Have you read Mercy Thompson? She has a tattoo on every cover, I believe.

These don't necessarily have the tattoo on the cover, but if you ask we can check for you.

Sorry all, I finally found a book for this, but I just have not been in the mood. I’ll try to pick it up next.

[Berit☀️✨]

It is seriously going to take us a year to finish this challenge 👻

[Louise]

No rush Berit

Berit, do you want the dragon task and I'll find a tattoo book? Or are you just slowly making your way through?

[Berit☀️✨]

If you have a book with a tattoo I can probably be in the mood for a dragon before tattoo book, sorry

[Laura]

Berit☀️✨ wrote: "If you have a book with a tattoo I can probably be in the mood for a dragon before tattoo book, sorry"

I'll just listen to Storm Cursed. It works for SOUS for TW and has an 8 in the page count. :)

Take your time on the dragon. And if you do end up with a tattoo book first, I can always put my dragon back here. :)

No problem. Give me about 2 days to finish an audio or 2 that are due back at the library, and we'll be on to a new ghost.
