[ Because, Bruce does nothing more than text on the network. It's easier and more discrete. Especially when you work in for a million dollar corporation that isn't really your own. So, once again, Bruce is addressing the network. ]

Citizens of Driftcrest have started to disappear at an alarming rate. You can't even get into the Ice Statue Garden without a fear of being trampled. The situation is going to escalate into a panic that we'll need to deal with... even if we aren't native to the reality.

Time to pool together what we've learned. Post what you've found about the Unseen or history of Driftcrest. I think it's time we start moving forward with a plan.

Especially our caped hero types. We all know you're here. Share what you've got.

There's also new faces on the network. Feel free to introduce yourselves here.

I'm Bruce Wayne. I ran a billion dollar multi-corporation in my home reality, and now sit on the board of Wechester Enterprises. Mr. Wechester is always keeping an eye on what we do--as it's obvious we're not native to any of these realities. Don't be surprised if I bring up questions or concerns he ever has. Never thought I'd be a liaison.

Driftcrest is over 200 years old but the history books only go back about five. That's when the Unseen showed up. Trying to read anything beyond that is nausea-inducing because the informatin just doesn't exist. There are tons of theories that they're not from this universe but got stuck.

They're also theorized to steal souls/a persons essence. I'm quoting one of three books, here. And paraphrasing the stuff I've read.

We're trying to locate a mining cave that fell in on itself roughly the same time the Unseen came into this universe? But even doing that much is tricky.

[menarebrave]

Them being stuck here like us isn't that hard to imagine. The question would be why WE easily go from place to place when they've been here for at least five years.

Steals it and encases it in an ice prison?

What do you need to find the mining cave?

[he_who_dwells]

That, I don't know.

We think what we need to find to save our people is in the box from our dreams. I say our, but I actually don't know if you've had the weird dream everyone seems to have had.

There was a box and people surrounding it. Asking us to break the box. We think both the Unseen and the box are in this mining cave.

Hello?

You mentioned new faces. I'm one of them. I just arrived in this reality.

Something's going on that you need caped superheroes?

[menarebrave]

The Unseen have been keeping the native population in fear for some time. People have gone missing.

Some of our hero types have some information already.

[makeanentrance]

Well, I do have a cape if that's a prerequisite.

[Not that he's a hero.]

The Unseen? Are they like demonic ghosts? Or you really just don't know what they are.

What is going on with the statue garden? I've received three different answers from as many people.

Also, hello. I'm one of the new faces I guess.

[menarebrave]

From what I can tell? They're what's left of the victims. It's a memorial. Hollowed ground.

I haven't seen the username before, so I'll agree.

[ Guess who has no idea. ]

[ex_solarize985]

Rather gruesome memorial, then. Do they simply appear there? Or are they moved?

Thanks, I think. Are you actually Bruce Wayne?

As opposed to the false Bruce Wayne? Do you have a copycat?

[ And since she's already asking questions, she has just one more: ]

Just how many caped hero types are there?

[menarebrave]

You'd be surprised who pretends to be who on social media platforms.

Diana.

[ Her name is also a question: which Diana? He's already knows one Barbara Gordon that isn't from his reality. It begs the question if the Diana texting him is from his or not. ]

More than I'm used to seeing in my own reality. Can you believe it? More than just one super man.

[ Codes in obvious words. Acting like the public Bruce Wayne -- their conversation isn't really private. ]

[stayfightgive]

I know very well what people tend to do on these sorts of platforms.

You yourself could be anyone, and I may or may not be able to verify your identity.

[ It does seem a little foolish to think that someone would go to these lengths to obscure their identity. And why would they pick Bruce's, of all people? Yes, his name means something in Gotham and Metropolis, but this isn't either of those places, is it? ]

I suppose I'll have to see it with my own eyes to believe it. Super men can and do rise up from nothing, but they can also fall.

[ Is she alluding to something specific? Perhaps and perhaps not. If Bruce chooses to be cryptic in his wording, then so can Diana. Who knows who might be reading this conversation? ]

Why do you suppose they've gathered?

[He has the presence of mind to send the message using Ghost's techniques instead of Henrietta Gansey's. Although he's not sure how he remembers what's necessary to do such a thing.]

They got Evie.

[ The text comes much later. Namely because Bruce prefers to be in somewhere of a more secure connection for this. Especially when it isn't necessarily "Bruce Wayne" replying. ]

Who? Security or the Unseen?

[affection_for_research]

The Unseen.

Didn't you see the picture 'Doolittle' posted with the emergency bulletin?

It's Evie. They did *something* to her.

I haven't really found anything new. Nothing useful.




I found Gwen in the garden.

[menarebrave]

Anything can be useful.

You're sure it's Gwen?

un: thewasp

[wasp_stings]

All the reading has my head spinning. I'll have to get back to you on whether or not any of this stuff is useful for finding a way to kick the Unseen's butts.

[ She is not a researcher, she hates this part so much. ]

[menarebrave]

I imagine it'd be hard to know if it's useful if you haven't bothered reading it.

The people of Driftcrest are disappearing? How long has this been going on? And is it just the natives, or are people who've arrived here vanishing as well?

Sorry for all of the questions. I'm only recently arrived myself, but this information is...well. Alarming.

And I'd like to see if I can help.

[menarebrave]

It seems like it's been going on for generations. I've gotten some reports that a few of us -- ones who have been fluxed in -- have been taken as well.

Curfew is put in place to make sure the Unseen don't get to us.

What skills do you have to offer?

[shieldingfoundation]

How exactly is this Mr. Wechester always keeping an eye on us?

( though she isn't used to such advanced technology, she has a hunch the devices ‒ phones which they have been given might be but one means. )

And more importantly, why is he?

[menarebrave]

We, for lack of any better word, fluxed into Wechester City before we came to Driftcrest. He was aware we weren't native to his city but didn't alert media or the police. All he wanted to know, it seems, is why we were there and what we wanted. I offered to be the go-between. Try to keep things civil as long as all of us are here.

Usually you're more secretive about your friends in capes.

[menarebrave]

No point when the friends in capes have made themselves known to the public already. Just not their secret identities.

Nice username. I'm guessing it hides a secret or two for you as well.
