Guys, it's Louie. I want to see if anyone else knows anything about this. I mean, the weirdest thing happened last night.

I think I went home. Not just for a night, either. I mean, maybe it was some kind of dream, but it felt so real, and I had a weird dream that was definitely a dream. I think. I don't know! That felt pretty real, too.

Has something like this happened to anyone else?

No. It was really weird, and it's kind of making me think about what kind of place this is.

[shiningkindness]

What kind of place? In what way?

[talkyourwayout]

It's hard to explain, but I guess what I'm really wondering is if this place is even really a place. It could be a place some witch or wizard made to keep people in, or even an illusion.

[Hi, yes, someone has had bad experiences with magic.]

I don't like thinking about that, but it might be true.

[shiningkindness]

Goodness. I didn't even think of that.

It feels too real to be an illusion, though. I think we've all gotten hurt at least enough to say it wouldn't be.

[talkyourwayout]

That's a really good point... But the idea that we're all trapped here as part of some magical experiment or something would explain a lot, right?

[shiningkindness]

It...would, actually.

[Mote than she would have liked.]

Wasn’t there something like that going around when we first got here? There had been a lot of different reasons people came up with to explain how we got here, and I remember hearing something like that.

[talkyourwayout]

I don't remember. Honestly, the first few weeks here for me were mostly trying not to freak out.

[shiningkindness]

I can understand that. But I think I remember hearing something like that when we first arrived. Either that, or some students had been messing around with Sundering and it just kind of happened.

Though that sounds less likely, since bringing so many people from other worlds seems more than a couple of students can do.

[talkyourwayout]

Oh yeah, there's no way a few students could have brought us all here.

I'm not sure what to do with this, though. The information, I mean.

[shiningkindness]

Yeah. It's difficult to think about who to go to for something like this.

[talkyourwayout]

I don't even know how to like, think about it, though.

I'm not going to any of the professors, or anything.

[shiningkindness]

Yeah. I don't know. That is pretty tough.

...Sorry. I'm not being too helpful.

[talkyourwayout]

Don't worry about it. I don't think any of us can know what to do with this, you know? Maybe I'll just forget about it.

[shiningkindness]

Well, I don't think it'll be good just to forget about it either. Maybe just keep an eye out for anything strange? Just in case something happens that we should warn people about.

[talkyourwayout]

Alright, yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Thanks, Fluttershy.

[shiningkindness]

You're welcome. I'll keep a lookout too.
