USER: #DC143C - QUESTION FOR EVERYONE

[lonered]

[ USER: #DC143C ]

Hey. So...

...

Question for anyone. Or for everyone I guess.

How sure are you that you're still alive? Back where you're from I mean.

Like on a scale from 1 to 10. Where 1 is "I definitely died" and 10 is "I'm definitely still alive" and everything in between.

Thanks in advance. I know it's a weird question. I just... I gotta know.



[He's asked some folks, but the results so far are mixed. And Keith needs to figure out one way or another if this is just some weird unexpected afterlife, and he's at a solid 2.5 on his own scale so he's wondering.]

Whatever the truth of this place is,
trying to hide it or sugarcoat it won't change it. Even if it's awful that there are kids here too, they deserve whatever the truth is.

Anyway, the needle is definitely falling to alive for most people.

So this isn't limbo or hell or anything. It's just a cage, and we're gonna find a way out.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

You're right, we shouldn't, but we don't know what it is yet.

It seems we're all from a little bit of everywhere. Not sure what that means for us, but it's definitely an observation, I guess?

[lonered]

So we find out However the hell we do that.

If we could find who brought us here, that'd be a start.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Are we sure it's a "who"?

There's been no one else in this town besides those of us who fell in the well. No one I could smell, anyway.

[lonered]

I'm not buying into this being some sort of cosmic accident affecting so many people from so many different places all at once.

Someone or something, if you'd rather, brought us here. But there's intent behind it. I'm sure of that.

And what happened to the people who used to live here? It is empty, and there's no sign of the former residents. What happened to them could be connected to why we're here.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Something like this doesn't just happen for no reason, whatever the case is.

We're bound to find something if we keep looking around.

[lonered]

Exactly.

I agree. We have to find something, and we can't give up until we do.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

You know, the fact we have these devices to begin with is a bit strange.

[ The word you're looking for is "computers", Caramia. ]

With our names and stuff on them as is. Is there anyway to see where these came from?

Regardless, if we find out anything, these seem to be the best way of letting everyone know, so I'll definitely keep you posted.

[lonered]

It is. Someone left them for us.

As for where they came from, someone better at computers than me might be able to get some information off them, or off the network.

And I'm all for sharing information. But. The thing is. Whoever left these for us, whoever brought us here in the first place, we have to assume they're listening/reading/whatever to everything we say over this network.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

They can do that...?

[ Computers are wild, fam. ]

Well, they had to give it to use for a reason. Maybe they needed our help?

[lonered]

Yeah Electronic communications are pretty easy for people to spy on.

If they need our help, they're going about it in a messed up way. Abducting a bunch of people and not telling us anything.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Agreed... In the meantime, I'll see what I can do to figure out where these computers came from.

[lonered]

Great. Good luck.

I think there's got to be more to the forest. That's my next goal.
