Greetings, residents.

I trust this finds you all in good health and positive spirits. I am a relatively new arrival to this place, having got to grips with the basics over the last few weeks. I am aware that a number of others have likewise arrived recently, hailing as I understand it from a variety of ages and locales. My companion and I, for our part, have found much to learn, and not a little to unlearn.

I recognise that this situation is rather an unusual one, and as such I take it upon myself to suggest that we – by which I mean the recently arrived – might find it of some benefit to work together to pool our knowledge. I am open to ideas on what this "pooling" may consist of, but at the very least we ought to convene face to face at some point to share what information we each have individually and contribute to a whole sum of wisdom.

Some of us may have arrived with more understanding of the technological advancements of this place, I accept, but we all have knowledge to share, and no knowledge is too small to be of benefit to the whole.

With sincere hope for your engagement,

Jack Rackham

You can't just say that and not explain any further.

I was shot. Last thing I remember is bleeding out on the top floor of a high-rise.

[tricorn]

Interesting.

Do you believe you would have died from it if you hadn't come here?

[vestments]

Yes.

( immediate, quick, without even a hint of consideration: man is certain.

a moment, then— )

Don't get me wrong, I know this isn't the afterlife.

[tricorn]

What's your going theory on all of this, then?

[vestments]

( it's fortunate that marc doesn't have an iphone, otherwise that little would be going on for way longer than is really necessary.

"I thought it was all in my head to begin with"? no, not really the comment to lead with.

but true. )

I don't have one. There are people with names I recognize from my world, but they're not the people I know. Not unusual in my line of work, but given my experiences before waking to find Yom Crook and pals in my face...

2/

Maybe a test, ( because that'd fit with Some Other Experiences, ) but I don't know enough to begin to guess.

3/3

It's quieter than I'm used to.

There is a point that even a great memory isn't always enough.

You're going to want to have a semi-regular place for people to submit their findings or information, too.
And then a system for people to search through and find what we've already connected.
If you didn't already have plans, I can start checking some of the stores around to see if there's anything that might work?

Oh, wow! Yeah! I bet this place is a little overwhelming!
I'm from New York, 2018.
So in some ways I do recognize a lot of this technology, but also this place is like nothing I've seen before.

[ginghamed]

yeah, i think so too. i think there are others in our situation with knowledge too, i don't know if any of them have responded to you.

i've found a couple of things that would work. pretty rustic compared to the medicine i'm used to or what they've got here, but it's still good to know how to utilize it.

[intelligent]

I guess there are worse answers.

And worse ideas. What are you looking for at your trivia night?

[exarched]

J.R.,

Indeed, though whether or not we can consider our sudden stewardship of them as a boon or not may yet be seen. I'm not entirely convinced they were offered without ulterior motive.

Two from my own star. We arrived at a similar time but not together, and with a bit of a timeline discrepancy between us.

[ Though he will not publicly say just how large that discrepancy is...because he is. Kind of keeping that a secret from said colleagues. For their own good! Whoops. ]

Did you experience something similar with your own friend?

[You know what, close enough.]

New to me. I've a motorcycle, and I've almost died once while riding it already!

It's learning experience, to say the least.

there's eyes and a mouth?
like a real face??
