[ The text post is dated the 10th and Armand frowns at his phone as he types. There's still time, but it's certainly not long to find the answers he seeks. He glances at the bottle of blood on the kitchen counter and snaps a quick photo to include with his question. ]

Is there any doctor or person of science that can help with studying this:

[It's...well yep, that sure is a bottle of blood. It's even helpfully labelled like a carton of milk!]

I wish to know everything possible about this, but my understanding is not comprehensive enough. I am hopeful to find tools and equipment at the University campus, but another's experience would be appreciated greatly.

there's animal meat in the city despite there not being animals
and no precedent that i know of for things to be labeled incorrectly
so if the carton says it's human then it's probably human.
but i doubt you'd be able to figure out exactly what human it came from

"origin of groceries" is one of our ongoing mysteries

don't microwave it though. it'll blow up the cells
i'm not an expert in haematology but i grew up in a lab so i've seen some shit

[rescinded_vow]

This is...useful information. Thank you. So everything that is consumable is still of unknown origin no matter the item?

[kampfgeist]

exactly. consumables are there, we take and consume them
then x number of days later the city replenishes what's missing through means unknown

nobody has figured out where they come from or how they restock yet

but i did hear that the timeline has changed recently

[rescinded_vow]

That is concerning. It is possible then that all sources of food could dry up right out from under us?

[ He frowns at his phone. This will because an issue for several of them if so, not to mention the mortals themselves. ]

[kampfgeist]

i think it's unlikely immediately
but it's possible long-term
hard to say though. it depends on what the experiment is, what the goal is.

[rescinded_vow]

Experiment? is the working theory that we have been brought here for some purpose of study?

[kampfgeist]

from what i've put together there are two main theories
1. experiment
2. simulation (possibly for purposes of experiment)

i believe the experiment theory but mostly because of my own experiences
there's compelling evidence for both.

if you haven't talked to junpei yet he might be a good person to get you some compiled info about the city and what people have gathered

his username is usually just "junpei"
and i'm heine rammsteiner

Interesting. I will pursue this other user. Thank you for your assistance and your theories, Heine. I am, Armand.
