NO EXITS

Okay, I'm not sure these disappearances are a coincidence now.

First, Strange was going out of town to get supplies.

Now Eliot and his crew.

Has anyone actually been outside of town?

Once upon a time, I told an Egyptian goddess that I was going to be her avatar for a very temporary time because I had no interest in having super powers because I had other shit to do. Now, she's landed here with me and on weeks when our powers are not around at all, it's like I'm missing a walking crutch. I'm not entirely sure if that's a healthy feeling or not.

Hey. Where did you disappear to last night?

I know so far we've mostly had bits and flashes of other worlds and other lives but anyone had a whole lifetime worth of memory that just popped into your head that won't go away no matter how badly you think it was probably just a vivid dream?

Okay, I have no experience with being a teacher or anything but in my experience being a student, I don't think I ever heard of an entire class turning in one of three different assignments, all of them extremely identical to the other in their category.

This school is weird. The students are also weird. Not any of our people but those that exist in this world.

How do you deal with mass plagiarism when these kids don't have any idea what that means?

I've heard stories of placing fucking with your backgrounds and giving you other lives and I guess this is a first. I'm a history teacher at the local high school which I guess is cool? I never thought I'd try that.

But call me a pessimist but I'm still waiting on the other shoe to drop and am kinda worried about the sudden lack of power people have. Somehow Taweret came through with me and she's here and so are my powers. Anyone else?

Where are you?

Well, this is the first week I've experienced here in which something wasn't absolutely fucking weird by the end of the day two (and since it's past day three, I feel confident in saying that and not jinxing it), and I guess I've had moments to reflect on this whole experience and realize it's not all a fever dream from agreeing to a deal with a Goddess. (You know.. the whole can-my-body-handle-this-much-power-or-am-I-dying etc.) Besides, the fairy party introductions spilled a whole lot, didn't they?

So I'm just going to go ahead and reintroduce myself because even if it was like 3-4 weeks ago that I just showed up, it feels like I'm still super new to this place. I'm Layla El-Faouly. I'm an archeologist. My favorite part of it was the research but also stealing back artifacts from people who think they're finders keepers. I'm also an Avatar of Taweret, the aforementioned Goddess, who gives me the ability to fly and some other superhuman abilities. It was supposed to be a temporary alliance but I think I've gotten used to her being around that last week when the powers weren't working, it felt like I lost something terribly valuable. And now I'm sitting here processing that feeling. Thank you, Derleth, for this moment of quiet introspection!

Exploring northeast I found decent enough sized stream near what was probably a high school. It took me around an hour to walk there - might take less time under different circumstances, but there's a lot between here and there.

I can't guarantee cleanliness at this point, but if we could start fires, we could boil it.

If there's a group that's willing to come out with me, let's make that today's priority. Also, any ideas on transport - I'm open to hearing them.

I saw you were on the other campus? Is everything alright there?

[Private to Layla]

Are you attending this party everybody's talking about?

Since it's definitely been noticed, I'm going to go ahead and go out and search for food as well. The dormitories, I think look stable enough, I've seen ruins in the worst shape but if you feel more comfortable camping outside, I'd say let's work on getting those shelters set up. I'll see what supplies I can find while I'm out.

Anyone's welcome to join me. How are we on medical supplies? If there are herbs and plants that I recognize, I'll bring some back with me.

Has anyone ever gotten aggressive when they landed in this world? Just wondering how that was usually dealt with.

Hello, network. Reaching out per your possessed paper airplane to say I have too many questions.

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?
