This might be a silly question. But how do you suppose we should be counting our birthdays here?

I technically should be 19 now, I think.
But if it's Halloween, I'm still a bit away from my birthday, too.

Should I be 18 or 19?

The university had some clues recently, right? And the newsletter as well.

[apshot]

Hadn't been there yet personally. There's other shit going on right now too.

[anthropophagite]

Yes, of course.

I only meant that we are all working to find out what is going on, so hopefully we can get some answers soon.

[apshot]

All I know is that I wanna hear it from our "hosts" themselves.

Ain't no way that someone isn't behind this.

[anthropophagite]

I'm certain there is. But they don't seem to want to make themselves known yet.

If you could, what would you ask of them? I don't think they'd send us home in any case.

[apshot]

I know that. They ain't gonna do something like that just because we ask.

So I'd wanna know what the point is. What do they think they will get out of it.

[anthropophagite]

They seem to be testing us.

Someone mentioned aliens wanting to learn about other species and how we work together... [ it sounds silly. But this place can be so silly ]

[apshot]

Aliens.

And just what are the chances of that actually being a thing?

[anthropophagite]

There are non-humans in this place. Would it be really that strange?

[apshot]

"Nonhumans" aren't the same as aliens.

[anthropophagite]

No, they are not. But I mean there are many different species, so aliens wouldn't be that strange.

[apshot]

I would consider it, if you'd met an actual alien.

[anthropophagite]

I'm sure there are some in this place, no?

[apshot]

You're saying that because you haven't yet, huh?

[anthropophagite]

Not yet, no.
But it will eventually happen I'm sure!

[apshot]

And when it does, you can get back to me.
