I couldn't help but notice how so far, new arrivals have a tendency to come here on Sundays. I wonder if anyone who's been here longer than me can tell me if this has always been the case? Though a seemingly small detail, it's probably significant in some manner. And after all, it's the small details that bear watching.

It was the same when I arrived two months and a half ago. But I fear I do not know if our predecessors were kept on the same schedule.

Thank you. I'm trying to gather as much as I can about this place and what is happening here - any information is helpful.

In that case, you might want to know that in both September and October, the weather acted strangely for a few days. In October, it led to these weird monsters and all the pixels. In September, a few days of fog came with Ghost Pokémon-induced hallucinations. I have also heard of a flood during the summer.

Yes, I was here during the ... "weird monsters and all the pixels", as you put it. It was highly unsettling. The other two instances are new to me though. I take it you were there during the hallucinations? Can you tell me more about that?

I was. The ghosts... made us see our worst nightmares, and made us believe they were real. A lot of people panicked, and a few even attacked other people. One of my friends was not affected, or at least not affected enough to lose track of reality, but those lucky ones were a minority.

It started on a... Thursday? Friday? And it ended the next Monday. We caught many of the ghosts responsible, but I have not heard of any of them causing that sort of hallucinations since then.

It's been this way ever since I started noticing the trend, and I've been here... shit, it's gotta be five months and counting now...

Anyway... yeah. Happens every week.

Like clockwork.

_{[Oh, look, the derp-girl. He remembers you.]}

Five months? ... that's quite some time. I can't believe I've been here for three weaks already - I can hardly begin to approximate the idea of almost half a year.
_{[He falls silent for a second, pondering this.]}

Do you happen to know when the first outsider arrived here? When this all started?

_{[... this was going to be her nickname forever, wasn't it.]

[Fortunately, she's a great deal more serious about THIS topic than she was on 'the proud heritage of her people'.]}

It's... passed by pretty quickly. It doesn't feel like half a year.

_{[But... when the thought about it, it was incredibly surreal to think that this time just last year, she was slogging numbly through her senior year of high school, still fresh from the showdown in Silent Hill.]}

I haven't actually asked... I don't think I was part of the first wave, there were people here who'd gotten there before me when I showed up... but I'm not sure how many.

Or if they're still here now.

_{[Only until he finds out her real name. He still doesn't know it, but hey, he doesn't know the meaning of 'derp' either, so it's entirely neutral from his point of view.

But yes, we are serious about this topic. It's still something he really just ... wants to figure out, even if the odds might be against him.]}

Still here? Are you saying people have been disappearing, also?
_{[It would make sense that people disappear if they suddenly appear, but that's still something of a worrying notion.]}

... Oh.

I guess you haven't heard about that yet, huh.

Yeah, people disappear sometimes...

No one knows why... a lot of people like to think that they go home, but... on the rare occasion that they DO reappear, they like... don't even know any time passed and usually wake up in New Bark again.

It's not reassuring, in any case...

[Well, look who's recovered from their hangover! He was just taking a walk around the city, but then he spots one of the pople who came to see him when he was sick. Holding his Seel in his arms, Yao walks over to Cooper.]

Nihao, Dale!

Seel! [Li also greets him.]

_{[:D! Isn't that nice to see! Cooper holds up a hand to indicate for Yao to wait just a minute while he finishes his recording. He then turns the gear off with a smile.]}

Yao! It's good to see you out of bed. I trust you're doing alright now?
_{[He looks at the Seel with some interest before looking up at the other man again.]}

Yes, I'm feeling much better now, aru. I figured I might as well get some fresh air since I was indoors all day.

[He notices Cooper looking at his pokemon. He smiles and strokes Li just behind the little horn on his head.] This little one here is Li. He was the pokemon that the professor gave me when I first arrived, aru.

Air is always good for you.
_{[/captain obvious He smiles, leaning down a little to look at the Seel's face.]}

That ... Professor Oak? My first pokémon was just in its capsule in the pack of things I got from the woman claiming to be my mother.

Really? I was in a different situation, aru. After the woman pushed me out of the house I wandered around New Bark Town for a bit and then I ran into the professor. Sure enough, he gave me the pokeball that held Li and then he started explaining things to me.

Although, I couldn't understand most of the things he said to me, aru...

I only met him briefly. I couldn't get anything useful out of him at the time - the other people transported here have been far more helpful than any of the locals I've met so far. They all seem very controlled, in a sense, don't they?

Ah, yes. I have noticed that new arrivals tend to arrive upon Sundays. Throughout my four months here, it seems to be the case. Why, I am not too sure.

Well, Professor, there are many things in life we can never be sure about. Thank you for your answer. I appreciate it.

I haven't been here for that long, but I have noticed the strange occurrence as well. Though the it does strike me as odd that even though people arrive here with somewhat regular intervals there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to where they appear from.

Who- or whatever are in control must have a lot of knowledge and/or power in order to get people from so many different worlds and realities. This is probably what intrigues me the most.

Another thing I cannot understand is the reason behind all this...if there even exists something like that.

What personally intrigues me is how the time doesn't appear to work normally. I have met up with quite a few acquaintances who from my point of view clearly come from the past, but I've never heard of any of them, or anyone else for that matter, disappearing into another world like this.

I personally have an idea that this might be some kind of experiment. Who or what is monitoring it or what they're researching, though, I obviously know as little about as you do.

Ah, yes - time is certainly something of interest here. Most people I have met are from the future, at least seen from my perspective. The only explanation I can think of is that we'll be returned to the exact same point in time we were taken, once all of this is over - perhaps with our memories erased somehow.

I hope that won't happen, though. This place is definitely something I'd want to remember.

If that is the case can I ask what year did you come from, sir?

...Return to where we started off? [ Kristoph gets quiet. He isn't too keen on returning to prison. It takes a while before he continues. ]

Yes, it has been... quite an experience this far. It would be a shame to forget it.
