abstruse | Puzzle 001: Arrive on time

((Written))
Pardon me, but is there someone out there who would mind directing me to an outfitter?

Have you got someone yet?

[The lack of identity may save him.]

I believe so, yes.

((Only for now.))

I'm glad you have that sorted, then. You sound new.

Quite! I did spent some time acquainting myself with this book, but at least it answered a few simple questions.

That's all right, then. So you know enough about living here?

I would like to hear more about shifts, if possible.

That's sort of a broad topic. Maybe if you have a specific question?

When was the last and what was it like?

I don't know if the last thing that happened was entirely a shift. We were all possessed by the spirits of this world. It was weeks ago now.
