This morning, our intrepid villagers awoke to a surprise of the nicer kind: A bundle of clothing left at the foot of their bed, tied with a bow. There is also a note: Put on your new outfit and join the festivities in the corn field next to the inn.

You may be thinking, what corn field next to the inn? The one that sprung up fully-mature overnight, of course.

In the middle of the field, villagers will find an autumn feast: Tables piled with harvest time food and drink, warm and rustic decorations, the day's sunshine fending off any chill in the air.

Tuck in and enjoy, villagers, but take note: Things often look different in the dark, and you might be one of them.

"We're trying but survival is more than just searching for answers." They had to also be ready for whatever was going to be thrown at them. Wanda had been here long enough to know that the overseers could literally do anything they wanted.

"Do you think we can?" She asked, watching thoughtfully as he downed his drink. "Find out what's going on." She clarified.

Maybe Wanda had been trapped here for too long but survival felt more important than finding their way back home. If they do escape, then wouldn't more people be pulled in? It'd never end unless they learned more.

"The only things holding us back are our imaginations and forces of will." He made a vague motion with his free hand, indicated all of their surroundings.

"Something is going on. It serves to reason we can discern precisely what that is. It isn't some divine mystery of the cosmos, and even those can be answered if one knows where to look."

Wanda didn't think that it was that simple but she didn't see a point in arguing. They were at a party, even if it was a party forced into them.

"I do agree that whatever this is, it's something we can combat. We just need to figure out who's pulling the strings."

"Whoever gifted us these clothes, I'd wager."

He ran a hand down the fabric.

"I wonder if this is enough of a strand to follow."

"I haven't been able to too." Though she did appropriate the pun. "But if you do. Please let me know."

Wanda inclined her head in a nod. "I should get going. I'll let you know if I do find more."
