[At some point, who knows how many days or weeks into the Roseroot Incident™️, anyone who's been paying attention to the Netbooks will be greeted with a... rather colorful message. It's hastily scrawled, probably slightly misspelled but... hey, it's legible enough.]

Not like this specifically, but these sorts of attacks can be common. I remember the venomous stone snakes...

If a way out has been found it has not been shared yet, but if you'd like someplace safe to rest, I've put a barrier up around what looks to have been a grocery store.

[namuthing]

venomous -
never mind. i don't care.

how am i supposed to know where a grocery store is. i can't even find my own ass half the time in this place.

[lilyberation]

It'll be on a street corner, with fresh produce painted on the window. Follow the scent of lilies.

[namuthing]

lil...lies...
and just how far do you think that scent carries.
it's a big town, y'know.

[Genya is grumbling out his complaints, but he his gathering his stuff up in the process, at the very least.]

[lilyberation]

It will carry and hold! Trust me. When I was a little girl I couldn't even make tea without the scent sticking and ruining it somehow.

[namuthing]

so what.
you got flower bo or something?

[lilyberation]

I'm made of lilies. :)

[a_shadow]

I haven't found a way yet

Just coping, I guess

[namuthing]

"just coping?"
people die from shit like this all the time back home.
doesn't that worry you?

[a_shadow]

Look, buddy, if you don't find some way to cope with being brought here you're going to have a fucking crash

Ask me how I know

[namuthing]

okay - well...

... you're not wrong. i get it. still. you can't let your guard down in a place like this.

ask me how i know.

[a_shadow]

Hey, I get that

Had similar experiences

[namuthing]

... sorry to hear that.

[outofsynth]

If we had, do you really think we'd be here?

[namuthing]

i don't know!
maybe you're sitting on your ass outside of town, pointing and laughing!
these things work across distances right!

[outofsynth]

Sometimes? Not because anyone's figured out how to leave properly though.

[namuthing]

did ya know that for sure?
are you friends with everybody?
probably not. you kind of seem like an asshole.

[outofsynth]

I don't have to be friends with everyone. If there was a way we could choose to leave then word would get out.

[namuthing]

well excuse me for thinking that silence on these pages meant maybe, just maybe, someone hadn't spread the word yet.

[dreamunchained]

I attempted to fly the perimeter of the fog, and it reveals no obvious way out.

[namuthing]

of course not.
so what, we're stuck here until those monsters out there pick us off?

[dreamunchained]

Possibly. Or we take them down first.

[namuthing]

i mean i'm doin my best out here but damn
i lost count of how many mannequins i helped this girl take down
and that was just one person.
you guys have way too many problems.

[dreamunchained]

[WHISTLING,]

Have you not found a monster or two stalking you yet?

[namuthing]

[Not at all suspicious. Clearly different people what do you mean.]

yeah it's a guy named nunya
