Things have certainly been odd since arriving at Oakhurst. The town itself, for starters, barely even exists anymore. That traveler must have gotten things mixed up. Even worse, there are these… things. People keep calling them “beacons” and it makes my skin crawl every time. The first one I saw was in the tower at the center of town. It was pale, until people crowded around it and somehow turned it orange. The other was in a separate set of ruins, and was red.
The people are certainly something, too. Dr. Alice Blackwell, Syn, and Dr. Chase Devereaux are the only people I talked to who seem relatively normal (though, who really is? if such a thing truly exists). VP has the tendency to find concerning things (mania, disease) to be exciting. Echo shouldn’t be on his own, yet seems to be determined to be anyway. And he collects skulls. I didn’t talk much with anyone else. Me and the doctor went mining together and I gained a bit of insight on her, at least. She’s kind, even if she says a few odd things here and there.
I was so nervous that I clung to dandelions like a lifeline the whole time. No one questioned it, at least.
I have a house now, at least. which is nice. It feels too empty when I’m in there alone, but I kept it small so that doesn’t get too bad.
