This would probably the last place I expected to end up, if I even knew it was on the list.

Weird way to meet the neighbors, too, but how do you do, I guess?

The Unseen.

Has that happened before? Monsters, I mean. They aren't exactly uncommon where I come from.

[oldmanfive]

From my understanding, the Unseen were a problem of Driftcrest. The people who have been here before it morphed into Driftcrest, told me that they hadn't had any problems with actual monsters until then.

I got dropped here pretty much as things had took a turn for the worse with the creatures. So I only have the information that I collected during my research of the monsters. There was a lot of conflicting information to work through.

Okay, let's table this whole 'Unseen' thing for a minute. What do you mean by 'morphed into' Driftcrest?

[oldmanfive]

According to others who have been in this place longer, the setting changes but the natives seem unaware of it. Jerry and his information booth seem to be static as are some of the businesses, but everything else will change.

I haven't witnessed this myself, this is just what I have been told by several people who have been stuck here like us. During my research of the monsters, I did find references to places called Beachville and Weschester City though. So I'm inclined to believe them.

The setting changes, but the people don't, or do they change, too?

...well, that's something.

[oldmanfive]

It's unclear to me. You might have to ask one of the others who have experienced it first hand.

It is. We're likely to learn for sure, if Driftcrest shifts since the monster problem was solved and that would be an opportune time to change the setting up again. Of course, this is just my speculation right now.

[alphabeticalplans]

Copy.

What I'm getting here is "keep an open mind, Biggs. You're not in Midgar anymore." I can roll with that.

Speculation leaves a lot of room for error. Never my first choice, but I'm not seeing a lot of options.

[oldmanfive]

I'm not always a fan of speculating either, but it is all based on what I have been told by others that have experienced the shifts. Hopefully we'll have more of a definitive answer soon.

[alphabeticalplans]

Or at least new information to add to the pile.

[oldmanfive]

Touché. One way or the other we have to wait and see what happens next.

[alphabeticalplans]

I can be patient when I need to be. Besides, it'll give us time to prepare for whatever this place might have in store for us, right?

[oldmanfive]

True, but we might not get to prepare as well as we would like.

[alphabeticalplans]

All the more reason to prepare for anything.

Let's collect what we do know. This place shifts realities, and when isn't predictable. Okay, that's workable, at least in a pinch. Does it effect us or just the environment?
