Okay. Hopefully me putting IMPORTANT at the top helps denote this as actually something I personally think is important. Got the idea from username dynamight, so credit goes to them!

But serious talk: this is an experiment. Or it's an Abnormality, maybe? An enclosure either way. Either this city itself wants us here because it's lonely and it wants people around, because what's the point of a city without people in it right?? Or the scientists outside want us in so they can shake us up in this little jar and write down their results. Not sure what end goal there, we'll find out soon enough.

If anyone has any proof or any other theories, please feel free to discuss. I'm open to ideas. And I know figuring out what this place feels pointless, but if we can aim towards figuring out the what, then we'll be able to figure out the how soon enough, right?

And has anyone gotten any useful information in general? I've been nosing around, but all I get is redacted snippets with no actual details to work with. Which cycles back around to my two theories above, I guess; either we really are the first ones to get sucked into this Abnormality and it's just been made out of several lonely people wanting a better life and world, or it's artificially made in which case there's not going to be any public figures or history to learn about.

Anyway.

I just think that we should all check in and talk about anything we've learned. Don't feel like you have to talk to me only, either. Talk amongst yourselves. Information should be freely shared so we can get out faster.

Also if you saw me at the party, hi, I'm the guy with the bug arm, that's me, if you didn't know. Yes it's disgusting. Yes, I hate it too. No, the food or water or air in this place isn't the reason I have the bug arm. I've had it for twenty years or so now.

Okay that's it.

yeah my father's boss isn't what i'd call good at the job. but it's fine. in the next year or so he should be stepping down and his replacement's far better.

and none of that is here, so it's not something i oughta worry about.

[blattella]

Exactly. No need to worry until you're back home, bud. Live the good life here.

..........I can't stomach it. This peace. It's weird.

[laidtocrest]

if this is gonna lead into you asking me to chase after you swinging an axe or whatever just so you can keep your instincts sharp, the answer to that is no

[blattella]

What?

No? That's likely to just make me freak out anyway. No good for either one of us.

[laidtocrest]

believe it or not, one of my friends is that type. he gets antsy and the only way to make him happy was to fight him.

with training weapons, so it's not like he'd actually try to kill you, but you know. if you said what you said to him he'd probably want to meet you once a week and fight it out.

[blattella]

Sounds like he'd get along grand with a co-worker of mine.

Though my co-worker fights to the death. But that doesn't matter much to us, really. Maybe get him a rubber bat and he'd have a good time with your buddy!
