ugh I am just SO OBSESSED with how weird Jabberwock Island is. Specifically in the Neo World program. Like, it’s eerily beautiful and temperate, but it never rains. What tropical island has no rain? The sun sets and rises at the same time every single day, I imagine the temperature is the same day in and day out too.
Do the stars move like the earth is spinning? Or are they forever fixed? Does the moon wax and wane?
I think it’s so interesting because it’s perfect in a simulated kind of way. The weather is always clear, the days are always long, but that’s just not they way humans experience life. It would be like living the same day over and over. Hell, maybe they ARE, maybe the program just repeats the same environmental programming each day. Maybe the same birds fly overhead at exactly 2:36 every afternoon, maybe the wind always picks up around 7:12.
If not for the added stress of a killing game, do you think anyone would eventually notice? If island mode lasted a few months, would they catch on?
IDK, this just interests me narratively, and you probably have already noticed it in my fics lol. I can’t help it.
