so, uh, hypothetically if someone worked at the paper and had access to a lot of old files and i mean a LOT OF OLD FILES and was going to go dig a little deeper, what should they look for

because there's a LOT to look through. they've got piles upon piles of stuff for 1961. i'm guessing that this place has been stuck on repeat for awhile.

a lot of it seems mundane but i dunno, i gotta kinda rifle fast, you know? so, anyone got ideas? things i should look for?

Hey everyone! Monika here.

Last month has been very difficult on all of us. When I was down there, I saw a lot of people I'd never talked to before. Like me, they were there to save those of us who had been kidnapped. And then, a man I'd never seen before helped me when I was attacked, even though he had no idea who I am. Someone I didn't know was ready to risk his life for me. That made me realize even though we don't really know much about each other, we all share something. We know we shouldn't be here, we know what dangers we face. We're in this together, and amidst the misery this bond is something we should cherish. A thread that connects us and keeps us grounded in reality.

So I've been thinking perhaps we should get to know each other better! I'm planning to host a meeting sometimes within the coming weeks. Something for all of us to gather and get to know each other better. I'm not sure on the date and location yet, I'll communicate it later. And I know it's not easy for some people to talk. Sometimes you just don't know where to start. And formal introductions can only go so far.

That's why I would like you to write a poem and bring it with you. Don't worry about the form or the content. We're not trying to be Shakespeare here. Just put down your pen on the paper and let the ink flow. Write about what your heart tells you to. And then, share this poem of yours with everyone else attending. Think of it as a way to break the ice. I've made some of my best friends by sharing my love for literature in this manner. And I've learnt a lot about friends I already had by reading what they wrote down.

We'll also have lots of things to eat and drink. Normal and delicious things, not this place's usual fare. I hope to see a lot of you at the meeting!

[A young, cheerful voice comes over the airwaves, accompanied by the idle strumming (for now) of a guitar.]

Helllllo Santa Rosita. Louis here- just arrived and happy to be alive. Let’s skip the normal oh my god, what even bit for now. I’ve come, I’ve seen, I ate at the lunch party. Hey there, new mom and dad!

I have a much more important moral quandary for all you good people. It’s 1961, yeah? And, uh, I’m from not then. I don’t even know if my original flavor parents are alive yet. Meaning we are in prime Marty McFly problems zone.

[The idle strumming suddenly switches to (an acoustic version) of the opening notes of Smoke on the Water]

Would it be, like, totally wrong to record future hits and make a ridiculous amount of money?

[Now it’s the opening notes of Stairway to Heaven]

I’d have to stick to whatever rocks these old guys socks, I know, I know. So more like-

[He switches to Yesterday]

Oh, I believe in getting paid….

[The guitar playing stops suddenly as he laughs.]

Whadda ya think? Anyone ready to form a band? Yes? No? Get a lawyer? Give a guy some feedback.

Anyway, here’s Wonderwall.

[He’s going to play through that whole song (though not sing) if no one answers. Save the good people of the town and tell him to stop.]

I HOPE EVERYBODY'S EXCITED ABOUT THE LUNCHEON TOMORROW!!!!

WITH THE HHA GOING DOOR TO DOOR.
TELLING THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT IT...
I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG ACTIVITY.
A MUST-SEE FEBRUARY EVENT.

DOES EVERYONE HAVE SOME GOOD, CASUALLY FORMAL ATTIRE ARRANGED???


[After getting bullied into a different outfit at the Christmas Gala, he'd rather get a sense of what everyone else is planning to wear. And, while he's at it, doubly ensure that everyone has heard of the event - and caught on to the implied importance of going.]

This is going to be a very 'How Do You Human?' post and I wanna apologize for that. Still learning the body. Still working out the kinks. Reading things up on my own time to cover what I'm missing. (Thanks for the suggestions, @a.z.fell and @crowley. Owe you guys big time.)

BUT am I misremembering my lessons on human biology and, specifically, puberty or something? Because I'm really certain that you guys don't wake up gaining several feet in height overnight, right?

Right??

Greetings.

For those I have not met, I am Sister Agatha Van Helsing. I have been mentally absent this past fortnight. Given this, I have questions for those gathered here. I have many, in fact, but will start with this:

Were you also mentally disturbed for any time this past month? If so, what do you recall? If not, what did you observe of those that were?

The gifts given appear to be the work of a child. Do any recall hearing the voice of a child before arriving here? What did it say to you?

Do any of those present have experience with the supernatural, unholy, witchcraft, or how ever else you wish to label it? I would like to arrange a meeting for us to compile and compare knowledge, if so.

Was anyone not native to this location killed during the events of the past month?

My thanks.

okay, so, the longer i'm here and the creepier this place gets, the more i feel like we need to come together and try and protect each other. maybe i'm wrong, but i don't feel like the administration or police here can help us much.

with who we're supposed to be changing all the time (that sounds crazy but i had one "family" and now i have another), and people like the elves in the christmas village being like... that, i feel like we need to know who we have and be ready just in case

i feel like a good start is knowing who we are. who we're supposed to be. so we know if something is wrong. right? okay. so me first:

i'm peter. i'm from queens. i graduated from midtown science almost a year ago. i was raised by my aunt may. i like science and skateboarding and photography. that last one isn't as alliterative, my bad. i worked as a photographer but i'm also good at repairing things, mechanical stuff.

i know this talking about yourself thing is uncomfortable. dude, it took me like an hr to think of like 4 sentences. i just think knowing we're not alone and knowing each other enough to know something might be wrong is important.
