DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL - FINALE

DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call...The Twilight Zone.

Darlington High School: The town's high school, home to various cliques of teenagers, and containing secrets that can only be discovered after dark.

Sheriff's Station: The sheriff seems like a typical sitcom sheriff, neighborly and helpful, but the sheriff's station has carefully guarded files that might be of interest to the New Hires.

Abandoned Factory: In such a sunshiney town, why is there an abandoned building?

Library: Information about the town can be found here, including a section with town records.

TV Studio: The possible source of strange broadcasts that can be found on TVs in Darlington.

???: A completely unassuming house.

Abandoned Mall: Another abandoned building, and one that's outside of time. This shopping mall is a decade or two early for the time period in the sitcom. Perhaps something useful can be found inside.

Murnjgod Appliances: The TV's in the window of Murnjgod Appliances sometimes display cryptic messages that might offer clues or puzzles to be deciphered.

DETAILS
Day has broken and the town is still acting...strangely. The townspeople are milling around like normal, living their lives, but some of the monsters are still roaming around, too. People can avoid their attention by playing their parts whenever they're around, and they don't automatically attack everyone just for being outside.

Something is also wrong with whatever's controlling this place, like their searching and prodding around has somehow unhinged something. The mechanism that was shoving them around different places has stopped. The laugh track sometimes goes out of control, laughing at random moments.

The different groups are free to move around and prepare, with one pair going to fix the machine, and the other pair heading towards Joshua Nichols' house and then the TV station. Once the machine is fixed, others can start herding the townspeople out of town and the area's effect.

Stacia latches onto Kenzie, all but climbing onto the other young woman's back.

"Don't shift," she says, low in her throat. "The Katiris might take it as a threat, and I really don't want to get shot full of holes today."

She watches the Wastelanders and townspeople fleeing to the safety of the Bey and his pirates and the Found Thousand, whoever they are.

"I guess the Bey isn't Beyoncé then, huh?"

It's quiet enough that the proper Jorg employees shouldn't be able to hear her.
