Remember when one of the issues wee found in Beachville was that the garbage trucks went literally nowhere and just disappeared after driving around for a bit?

Guess what? That's still a thing. Even in as big a city as this. I've literally flown all over and there's no city dump or scrap yard or anything. Garbage trucks just vanish with our trash.

So...don't throw anything important out I guess. Or do. I don't know. This place is irritatingly weird. I dropped my FluxPhone in the back of one of the trucks just to see what happened and it was back in my pocket two seconds after the truck vanished.

Just...putting that out there. For anyone wondering about the trash trucks. And? Stores still relocate themselves overnight. It isn't as many as Beachville, nor as often. But it happens like...occasionally.

That's unusual. Unless they don't exist or something so when they are out of sight they are out of mind?

It's been like this since Beachville. I've even followed those trash trucks, too, which...they're not fond of. They always stop the truck and yell at me for getting too close.

So I followed while cloaked...uh...invisible. And I watched the truck round a corner, I followed them around the corner, saw the truck again and then suddenly they were gone. So I don't think it's an out of sight out of mind thing. They hit the borders of Wechester and vanish.

I even had one of my Angels wait at the info booth, just in case they show up there or something like when we try to cross the border.

Nope. So I really don't know what to think, here.

So I guess this whole city was a massive mystery. Maybe it's like something sci-fi. Like us being in a bubble.

I don't know, might not be the case.

It's definitely weird. I don't think I'll ever get used to discovering the really weird things that happen in town.

Guess we gotta get a group together and investigate more, right? Like arfeas that are most suspicious?

We've had people investigating since buildings and shops started moving in Beachville. Myself, my friends, several others. I haven't found anything remotely useful or helpful, other than the garbage truck goes nowhere and businesses still relocate overnight. And no one but us notices.

Maybe there is something about us?

I'm guessing that you don't think they've found some ultra-environmentally safe way to dispose of everything, right?

[ She doesn't either, but a girl can dream sometimes right? ]

If they have, that just makes me wonder where they sent it. This is kind of a big city. The amount of garbage generated daily is, I'd imagine, pretty nuts.

Somewhere outside of the city limits maybe?

[ Maybe the natives of the city were able to actually leave it, while they were the ones trapped here. ]

I guess it kinda makes sense in the same way it's not like everything is being mined/manufactured here in town either.

I might need you to explain because I'm not following, entirely.

I just mean we have all these brick buildings but I don't see a quarry where they're getting stone or a... brick building factory or whatever they're called

But just all the raw materials to make everything in the town and the factories to make stuff, it's not all here but the things made by factories are here

Shit. You're right. Cities like this usually have places that sell what's needed for building. I haven't seen anything like that.

And I don't recall ever seeing a place for cement trucks and other construction equipment.

Bingo. Also, how many people live here versus how many jobs there should be?

And that’s not a hypothetical I've been meaning to do the math but... ugh, math

There are quite a lot of people in town. Not counting children, it still doesn't seem like enough jobs. But people are happy.

Which for a city? Kind of a stretch.

Right? Super suspicious but I'm not sure what to do about it.
