When people disappear from here, has there been any indication of how? Or where they go?

I don't think so. They seem to just be gone, as far as I know. Did you lose someone?

[partofmyreligion]

No. I just thought it would be useful to know how people disappear. It seems like many people aren't around when it happens though

[100more]

With the city as big as it is, that's not surprising. It's going to be hard to keep track of everyone.

People can disappear from here? I thought we were trapped.

[ One nervous, highly-traumatised teenager has been hiding away in solitude since showing up here, slow on the upkeep. ]

[partofmyreligion]

Some have, apparently. I don't know that it's common.

So far, we're still all mostly trapped.

[coolerjunpei]

nope. probably out past the weird fog if they're still in the city at all... but no one's found anything.

you check where they were staying? all the stuff gone?

[partofmyreligion]

I'm not looking for anyone in particular. I thought maybe it would lead to a way for all of us to leave.

But if no one has ever been around when someone disappears, it's useless.

[coolerjunpei]

like a witness? yeah no, i haven't heard of anything like that. it seems like most things that just happen to us always conveniently happen when we're alone and unconscious.

but the missing people were probably taken somewhere that's still here, i think? it'll be something to keep an eye on if someone disappears in a different way than the usual.

[codenametesla]

No, it's like there's no proof they were even here, except for our memories. It's really creepy.

[partofmyreligion]

Did you lose someone? I don't suppose there was any warning when they disappeared? Strange behavior, anything unusual around them...

[codenametesla]

No, no warning. I'd talked to one of them only a day or two before someone else said all his stuff was gone from the apartment and it was like he hadn't been there at all. He wasn't in our phones or on the network, none of his stuff was there, nothing he'd moved around was still moved, that kind of thing.

No. I have heard they vanish without a trace, is this true?

If any of their belongings are still here, I may be able to find if there is more to these disappearances. They may not be entirely gone.

[partofmyreligion]

That seems to be the case, but I'll ask around to be sure.

How would you be able to find that out?

[matermali]

I may find nothing at all.

But my hope is to sense something of their presence through a connection to their belongings, and follow it. Any space they may have experienced an emotional event could prove just as beneficial.

When it happened to Eddie all his things were gone, even the stuff he moved up on to the roof were put back to where they started.
Like he wasn’t here at all except that we know he was.

[partofmyreligion]

Was he acting strange? Or was anything strange around him?

I'd like to know whether they were alone at the time of their disappearance in all cases. Assuming that you're referring to a specific individual, are you aware of their last known location or activities?

[partofmyreligion]

It was a general question. I was curious about the same thing.

I thought if someone had seen something, anything, we could maybe use it to figure out how we're brought in. No luck.

[wordchain]

Perhaps, as impractical as it may be, we would all benefit from having at least one other person nearby at all times.

That's something I've been wondering about myself.

[partofmyreligion]

Have you lost anyone?

[apshot]

Not yet. Still would be good to know in advance.

[ Because what would happen to him? ]

[hairsprayed]

It's like they were never here so all their stuff and messages with them are gone. Like how food and stuff comes back, but it's all the things they touched going back to where they started.

[partofmyreligion]

And nothing else strange happened beyond that? Before they disappeared, I mean.

[hairsprayed]

Hard to say since Eddie was a weirdo. He was acting jittery and paranoid but that's normal for him.
