... Exactly what am I supposed to do with this? Does anyone here know about horse care?

No trouble at all.

I think in a few more days. Things seem to be wrapping up. How's the situation back there?

[toobigtohandle]

We found the Mayor and everyone who had disappeared. But we're not very sure of how they were kidnapped or who did it.

[ ... huh. ]

If you don't mind me asking... what was it like, where they were kept? Knowing that the underground tunnels can end up anywhere, I'm just wondering about the general setting.

[toobigtohandle]

It wasn't a place that looked natural. Definitely something that had been built.

There was a strange river first, with... things in it. Some people in the group said they were spirits and they could hear them. Then a labyrinth, and the last part very much looked like a prison. And there were several big monsters blocking the way.

[ Andrew considers that for a moment, then just shakes his head to himself. ]

As somebody who only got the app this month, I keep thinking this all feels as though we're in a virtual reality setting where people can just add absurd elements to the world and make things happen.

Monster-monsters weren't supposed to be real, a month ago.

It's... definitely pretty wild at first. It takes some adjusting. It's been about 8 months for me and I still don't get any of it.

[ Bit of a delay. Too bad text can't convey how dry his response is. ]

Well, that's reassuring.

[toobigtohandle]

[Oh, he gets you. He just doesn't feel like sugarcoating things.]

I know it's not, but given what you're bound to face sooner or later, better to be prepared than deny reality. Or at least this new reality.

[angealwings]

[ No, that's all right. ]

In all fairness, now that I've had a moment to consider it, eight months are not all that long. Especially if you keep getting bombarded with new information. And items. And horses.

[toobigtohandle]

I know people who have been on it longer, but I don't think it's much easier for them, to be honest.

And bombarded is the right word for that.

[angealwings]

I see. I think there are people on this trip that have had it longer than those I generally know.

I'll have to do some more looking into how everything works, once we're back, I think.
