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.

Thank you for the thorough information. I've also observed people believing there were headstones with familiar names in the graveyard.

If you wouldn't mind, I'd be interested in learning anonymity & encryptions, too.

don't mind. will send ur way. lotta good info here from others, too. been thinking about compiling it into a document we can all access.

oh yeah? [ He hasn't visited the graveyards mostly because, counter to his conversation with Wier, he's not exactly ready to accept... things??? now that he's had some time to think about it.... ] hate to hear that.

[A few minutes later...] Well, would you look at that. :) Also, I think we'd really benefit from a shared document. The more information that gets safely circulated the better. I'm not wildly tech-savvy but I would be happy to help if you needed it.

But, yes: it is very strange. I wasn't able to see the name, myself, but seeing a loved one's grave in a place like this isn't something a person would invent.

Unless we're all beginning to go stir crazy. Which I wouldn't rule out entirely.

well, well, well. who's that fine looking anonymous i see. lookin good (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑ told OP about the idea, too. compile info, when i have shit up and running i'll distribute for whoever wants to dump stuff in there.

i wouldn't rule that out either. i also wouldn't rule out this being some bullshit to further test us for whatever reason, though.

[Kaomoji are way too cute for him to use normally, but also... he wants to fit in...]

(´-`)ﾉﾞ Thank you again. This is really important work.

Everything seems to point to a test, but at the same time, we need to keep our options open. It would be a shame for us to lean so hard onto "test" and miss the clues for something else.

[ embrace the cute. you know you want to. ]

yeah, i agree. observe first. at this point, theory is just theory.
