NO EXITS

And how the hell did I get stuck in a pocket dimension?

Oh I have never been happier to wake up fully clad in business casual. Feels so good to not have breathing hurt. Seriously is that how that feels for normal people Apparently so good that singing happened. So that’s a thing, but hey, I’ll take it after the last few weeks.

Which would be your signal to stop worrying. Or worrying as much. I feel amazing right now, so no more worrying.

So, do I still have to use the stairs? Because I'm gonna scope out this place, but on the off chance you still have claim on the highest ground, this is your warning 'knock knock'.

So what's your plan for tonight? Because I love me some full moon rodeo times, but maybe a better starting set up tonight if that's the needed plan. There's the talk of just letting everyone run wild, so if putting stashes of clothes around before moonrise needs to be a thing, I'm super good at that.

How are the two of you holding up after last night?

blocked from matt, but everyone else can see:

Look, I don't know who is what and who remembers what because as usual everything is hot mess but. Matt's not himself and he's a flannel-wearing lumberjack hunter on a mission and that's to kill me which is fine, I'm fine, thanks. This is fine. Everything's fine and all other Twilight creatures or whatever.

So maybe just steer clear of him. He'll feel like shit later on if he hurts anyone. Also do we know when the full moon is gonna be? How do you werewolf?

Any Anne Rice vamps with or without sparkly peens who have snarky comments can just fuck off - I'm trying to get through this without eating anyone, if possible.

Points for being back on campus, but I did not sign up to sleep on the ground last night.

( You've got mail! )

Alright when the fuck are we now??

Well, a week has passed and we’re still here.

Anyone else thinking about investing in real estate?

On a more serious note I’ve made a friend with one of the ship captains who said she’d help me take a small group to the power plant to look for some of our people. It’s not without risk, obviously. And it comes with a caveat that we help her take out a harvester machine. But I’m not doing anything else this week. So, anyone interested in a little mischief?

What.

Did anyone else get drafted into the dystopian rummage sale army or is it just me?

Does anyone have a true crime podcast they could share? This place is painfully boring, and I don't really want to talk to a bunch of randos.

I recommend finding somewhere safely warded to sleep.

At the risk of tempting Derleth's wrath (or sense of irony), I'd like to take this moment of down time to suggest something. It's come to my attention that there's a lot of people who don't know where to go when in need of various skills. Magical healers, doctors, wizards/magicians/sorcerers, people who can sew or cook, etc.

Basically, I'd like to organize those of you who would want to volunteer your skills to the other Derleth residents. You don't have to volunteer if you're not comfortable with people knowing what you can do, but for those of us who would, I'd like to give them a place.

Then maybe the Welcoming Committee could add this to their note, and we could add it as a pinned sort of post on the network so that it's there when you need it.

If you're interested, let me know what skills you're offering.

ETA: You can see the chart here.

New York is everything people in small towns accuse it of being.

HEY!

Everyone keeps talking about video games, and I've got my Switch Lite, but this is the era of the old stuff. Does anyone want to head out with me? We can get everything.

Or at least Pong?

We should get at least three or four Atari's guys. This is all hands on deck and a team mission, right? We need an organized effort.

Who is game? Pun intended.

If anyone needs help getting some cash for this week, let me know ASAP. I don't plan on sticking around the city very long.

[ETHAN]

Can we get out of town this week?

Looks like the worst of the ghosts here find me just as unnerving as the ones at home do. The friendlier ones are fine.

[FILTERED AWAY FROM QUENTIN AND KADY]

I do not know what happened, but Natasha somehow got separated from Baymax and myself this evening during a supply run. I doubled backed in an attempt to find her, but I deeply regret to say that I was too late.

Well, someone fucked up. At least it looks like you already know the place is lousy with ghosts, even if the note didn't mention it. Being the one to break that news doesn't usually go well.

My dearest friend,

Welcome to Derleth.

I am so sorry I could not be there to greet you myself, but I trust you'll find your way around soon enough. Most of the students have not yet arrived for the new semester and so I've arranged for [your?] lodging on campus. You'll find a key in your pocket. Just like old times, eh?

Should the experiment go as planned, for one week we will be able to displace time and space itself. I believe with my calculations we will be able to control the effects and no one shall be the wiser. To anyone not directly involved it will be imperceptible.

Feel free to wander the campus in the meantime. We'll begin the experiment at [muffled] Hall, on Thursday, precisely at midnight.

We'll show them, won't we?
