That's what I meant, but I could have worded it better. Current Displaced wake up on a train. The ninth round drop-off happens after. Displaced could have been put on the train to ensure the ninth arrivals had people to rendezvous with.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole dream-sharing thing. I guess it'll make more sense if I ever experience it? Is that a common thing that happens? Or is it something people don't really talk about so it's hard to tell?
I hardly think I'm the first person to try to track the vehicles bringing people in and dropping them off. I think there's value in trying to use upcoming festivals to try to predict where a drop-off might happen to try to find more information.
But do you think there's anything more pertinent to focus on? I know I'm new, but that just means I can I have a lot of directions I could move in.
No, we weren't put on the train for that reason, because that implies there was an external agent able to take me and put me on that train, and there was nothing of the sort. I didn't wake up drugged, and I didn't have any signs that I'd recently been drugged.
The dream-sharing thing depends. There was the big dream. We all got swept up in it, and then there weren't any dreams for a couple of months. Now we're all having smaller, shared dreams, but they aren't on the same level.
In terms of pertinent, I'd focus on getting a job and a place to live. I know that sounds ... wrong? Maybe? But you're here now, and you're not going to have resources without the rest of that lined up.
It's hard to envision if you weren't there. I think the fact that we rolled back literal calendar days to before any of the willing train goers had gotten on a train is more telling. We were the only ones who remembered the time before, or the life before everything was changed.
And yes to the lucidity, assuming you're in it. If you're there and there isn't some part of your subconscious given form. That happens.
It's fine. Whatever answers I don't have, I can make sure someone can get you what you need to know. Probably. My world isn't anything like this one, so I have a lot of blind spots.
It erased the effects of a monster attacking and decimating New Tokyo. The city was in ruins, and some of the Displaced were on a train to head out there for relief efforts. Another monster was attacking New Johannesburg when we were put under. I remember hearing about it before I fell asleep.
These attacks were replaced by weather events when we woke up. No monsters.
Wow. The guide wasn't kidding when it said the world changed. By the way, define monster? I imagine we're not talking about Bigfoot or something like that.
What kind of level of harmless are we talking about? Small animals like squirrels running around with gold eyes, or "don't mind the wolf, it'll leave you alone if you leave it alone."
My world was on a similar path for awhile. Took a lot of work to course correct. Don't think things are entirely fixed, but it's better than it could have been.

The dreams. When it happens, are you aware it's a dream? What kind of level of lucidity is there? Does the empathy bond still carry over?
No, it's a good course of action. Can't get by without money, need to build enough of a presence to stay hidden, it's how the world goes.
Sorry for all the questions. I appreciate the answers.

That kind of monster.

Are these still a known threat? Not the giant one, but the smaller ones.

There are some creatures that have been slipping in with golden eyes, but they're harmless.

I'm not a fool. I wouldn't call a wolf harmless. I got attacked by a rampaging gorilla once.
no subject
Did that happen here or elsewhere?
no subject
There may be more trouble beyond the walls, but nothing that's gotten inside.

[That sounds like a fascinating story, but Ginia decides she doesn't know Clarke well enough to ask about it.]
Is there much beyond the walls? Do people head out to go camping or hiking or anything?
no subject
It might be a bit of an overreaction, but given the shape the world's in? I can't blame them.

It sucks because I miss the green and the trees out there, though we've been hit pretty hard with it here.

The wild greenery around the city is nice. It's nicer than what I'm used to.

Mostly cities not too unlike this. The kind where everyone is always watched and you avoid the police if they're in the area.
