WEDNESDAY
(11:11 AM - 12:21 PM)
Iām sorry for the lack of an update yesterday, but I really just needed a break from all of this. I already knew there was a very high probability that the reset was going to happen yesterday to begin with (which, it did happen), and Clay really wasnāt doing great, either, so I wanted to just focus on keeping both of our spirits up and making the most of what little time we still had in Hortens.
Itās not like I couldāve done much of anything else, anyway; visiting the cabin my family owns was beyond out of the question with how long it wouldāve taken to get there, even if weād gotten lucky enough to get a full other day before the reset, the only records that both Clay and I wanted to check were the ones back here in Myosotia, which we knew the reset would also inevitably bring us to faster than the carriage if it happened yesterday, and locating someone to interview who had lost their mind will hopefully be something I can knock out at the same time as further researching the histories of the known victims here at Clayās archive.
That means that the only thing I still couldāve done was break into someoneās business after nightfall, and Iāll be honest with you ā I just didnāt want to do that. Not yesterday. Not after everything weād had on our minds already.
Thatās why I made the choice to do nothing. We just lived like normal people for the day ā or, at least, as much as we could, all things considered. And I donāt regret it. I know, this whole place weāre living in could be a lie. We could be trapped in someoneās little mind game, we could be living like nothing more than puppets for someone elseās entertainment. There could be a big conspiracy that right now only we have a hope of ending and unveiling. But we also could be five seconds away from making a choice that ends in either one or both of us turning out just like every other missing or catatonic victim who got too curious and saw something there was no coming back from. We could be dead tomorrow, or even today.
At least now, no matter what happens, I can say that we had just one full day where we didnāt feel like two ants floating on a leaf out into the ocean more vast than we can imagine, with storm clouds looming overhead that will eventually sink our ship, even if the tide doesnāt somehow claim us. We felt like humans. Two human beings who had come together in the face of great uncertainty and somehow formed the start of a meaningful bond because of it.
ā¦Or at least, thatās what Iād like to say, if it werenāt for the fact that Iād been periodically still checking your comments throughout the day just to make sure you all hadnāt said anything urgent, and one well-meaning commenter had the incredibly serendipitous timing of suggesting we might be long lost brothers just after weād snogged for the first time.
Now, Iām back to believing life is meaningless, and if there is a God out there watching over us, he exists purely to spite me and make me thoroughly disgusted with myself at every waking moment.
I know all of you reading this are probably in shock right now, but thereās a lot I just havenāt said about myself or the feelings for him Iāve been trying to sort out, because I just didnāt think they were relevant to mention. Itās not like saying I found him attractive was going to help lead to some important revelation that would get me out of here. Iāve had a small crush on him ever since Iāve been waiting on him in the theatre.
Now, I just feel really conflicted.
Iāve removed the pages of yesterdayās events from the book, and Iāll decide whether or not to give them to Clay only after I can in some way confirm weāre not related; for the sake of my own sanity, Iām hoping thatāll be today, when I visit the archives. I was originally going to prioritize checking the histories of people who vanished or went mad for some common thread, but now I think my very first priority will be getting more answers on Clayās family line.
I really wish I had thought of that possibility back when he mentioned his parents disappeared from this world.
Well, itās not like I can change it now. I need to go have a talk with him again, remind him of whatās going on in this place and everything weāve learned, and then get back to work on finding my way home.
(4:00 PM - 4:36 PM)
Weāve been at the archive for about two hours now. Iāve been sitting at a desk going through all of the books Clay knew of that pertained to the victims of the disappearances, including his parents.
So far, I havenāt found a lot thatās of use; most peopleās recorded history in these books isā¦frustratingly simple at best, except for those who really made a big impact on Myosotia itself, and the metaphorical Venn diagram between influential individuals in this society and people who disappeared or lost their minds isnāt exactly overlapping as much as Iād hope for in this situation. At least, not yet.
Clay is right, though; all documentation of his family line outside of his father and mother is practically nonexistent, even in name only. Iāve yet to read the one he said refers to his parents and their disappearance ā mostly because the existential dread of finally knowing his parentsā first names is gnawing a hole through my stomach every time I so much as glance at it ā but at least any of the other family members heās mentioned Margaret saying he used to have are either barely mentioned by name once or twice or just not even listed anywhere I can see at all.
Heās assured me that heās searched every book in the years that those people should have been alive, and I have no reason to doubt him when he tells me that there was nothing on them other than the ones heās given me. Still, I think after Iām done with this stack, Iām going to browse a bit, anyway. Even if I donāt find something he missed about his family, I might find something we both missed about one of the other victims Iāve been trying to research, or I might even encounter a new one.
Clay himself has been searching the shelves heās less familiar with for empty books like the ones we found in Hortensā Archive. Margaret assured him when he asked that sheās been working in this place for most of her life, and there arenāt any āunused books that snuck themselves into the shelvesā, but he seems determined to confirm that with his own eyes. I canāt blame him.
Heās gone upstairs by now. He asked me to come with him, because the search will go easier that way, but I told him I needed to take care of this first. This is the first time Iāve turned down the option to go somewhere with him. I hope he doesnāt take it the wrong way; being around him is just awkward right now.
One thing I can at least say for now is that we donāt share the same last name; because of this subredditās rules of not naming any real persons, I obviously (and ironically) canāt tell you my last name, but I will leave it as that it is not anywhere close to his.
Unfortunately, I know that doesnāt mean anything, as they couldāve simply changed their names when they came to my world, but it is one of a few reasons why I have hope we might not be related ā the other main reason being that if they are my parents, that means they would have to have found and somehow convinced my grandparents to pretend to be their parents, and my Uncle to pretend to be my fatherās brother, since Clay never mentioned having grandparents or an Uncle who disappeared. Thatād just be really hard to pull off, wouldnāt it?
(6:42 PM - 7:58 PM)
Alright, soā¦I have a major update ā maybe even the first of two, depending on how things unfold later tonight.
Going through the archives has actually led to a lot more information for both of us than I thought it would, so Iāll break it down into parts:
1) I finally worked up the courage to look, and our parents have different first names. Still doesnāt mean they couldnāt have changed them when they left this world, but itās worth saying.
At some point, Iām going to ask Clay if he has that book he was compiling about his parents when he was little, and if I could see it; I want to know if any of the other information matches. I also want to ask him if he has any sort of paintings of them around, or something else that describes them visually.
The only trouble is doing this without making him wonder why.
2) I didnāt find any significant ties between the people who have disappeared or the cases of insanity/people who mysteriously ended up catatonic state yet; itās obviously likely that those who developed these sudden conditions were likely to have broken one of the cardinal rules of the town and seen too much, but beyond that, I donāt see any commonalities that matter.
BUT
We do finally have a small lead on someone who is still alive whose case seems to suggest they may have seen whatever is going on outside at night. I found an article mentioning a man ā a former shopkeeper in the southeastern edge of the city ā who went out on a carriage ride just some 38 years ago to forage for plants in the forest down south, and returned ānot quite rightā from it.
He was 27 then, so if he was still alive, heād be 65. Itās stated he became a recluse after those events, and eventually a family member moved in to take care of him, but beyond that, the records arenāt very specific on whatās become of him.
I guess weāll have to ask around town to try to find out if heās still around today, and if he is, what his exact address would be.
3) Clay isā¦absolutely horrified. Stacks of the books upstairs are just like in Hortensā ā empty, like theyāve never even been touched. Heās sitting at the table now where I was sitting just a few hours ago, trying to get his bearings over the fact that all of these years, heās lived among proof positive of the issues weāre all facing, and he never even noticed.
The worst thing for me, though, is that this means Margaret lied to us.
After I was finished looking into everything I could surrounding Clayās family and finding this out, I admit, I became curious to know more about her ā if she has some kind of motive to lie. As far as I can tell, she doesnāt; maybe in all her years, she just never took the time to check every possible shelf, herself ā I canāt say. But I did find something interesting.
It turns out she doesnāt have anything on record, either. I found who her parents were, but beyond their names being listed, that was it; there wasā¦nothing. No information of any kind, and no family lineage to trace back. Iām starting to become really uneasy. Why do so many people have little to no history? Were the resets that severe back then? Is that why there are these huge blanks in the history records?
How can we learn about what happened during certain times or to certain people when history seemed to stop being recorded about them altogether?
Should we tell Margaret about what we found?
Clay said she might be a good place to start in asking about where that shopkeeper is these days, if heās even still around, since sheād have been alive back when it happened and might have kept up with the story; he wants to at least ask her about that. I guess there isnāt too much harm in it, but I do wonder if sheāll even tell us the truth. If she did lie about the records being complete on purpose, thereās no guarantee she wonāt lie about another thing, too.
Maybe Iām just starting to get paranoid, but she did raise Clay. What if she was trying to keep him in the dark, for some reason? Is that why she told him so little about his parents, despite supposedly being so close to them?
Iām going to ponder all of this for awhile ā as best as I can, at least.
After Clayās asked her about that shopkeeper, I vowed to myself that I would ask him to go on ahead and search for any more leads in town, while Iāll sneak off and break into one of those businesses. Whatever he really is to me, I know that I donāt want him getting in trouble for a crime that I committed.
All of the shops have already closed up for the night, and Iām sure I can find something lying around in an alley to break a window on one of them and climb in.
Iāll update you all after the deed is done. For now, in the event that I do get arrested for what Iāve done, Iām going to leave this device with Clay and just log out so he canāt read this draft. Wish me luck.
THURSDAY
(10:31 PM - 7:03 AM)
Itās been an entire day, and I still donāt know how to explain what I saw last night when I made the mistake of shattering that window and stepping inside.
Clay is legitimately worried for me because I told him I just needed to get home yesterday when we met back up, and I havenāt wanted to tell him what happened since. I feel terrible for pushing him away like this for so many reasons, but thereās so much going on in my head right now, and even if I wanted to, I just legitimately canāt figure out how to break it to someone that so many of the people they know effectively donāt even exist once the night falls.
Iām so sorry for the lack of eloquence tonight while telling you of everything I saw, but as Iām sure you can imagine, worrying about my storytelling prowess at a time like this just isnāt one of my highest priorities. If I waited another few days for my sanity to return to a more stable state, maybe I could do a little better, but none of us have that kind of time to waste for something so trivial. And my family back home doesnāt deserve to be made to wait longer for me to return, either.
If I even can.
When I stepped in the building I honestly wasnāt sure what I was going to find, but it definitely wasnāt that. I guess a part of me just wanted to believe that it would be the store owner sleeping in her bed, or eating dinner, trying to wind down from a busy day selling her gardening supplies. That early in the evening, I was almost sure I was risking arrest.
But I wasnāt. Iām not. I got away with it and Iāll continue to get away with it, because there was no one outside who saw me going in or coming out, and if she hasnāt already, she most definitely isnāt going to tell anyone what she actually saw, because I donāt think she truly even saw it.
She was just standing there, around the corner, in a back hallway, eyes wide open, breathing, blinking, but saying nothing ā frozen, with a dim light shining against her back from further down the hall. I waved my hand right in front of her face and she didnāt even react. I touched her, talked to her, even tried jostling her around a little, and nothing. She didnāt say anything.
She was fine earlier today. I saw her in the shop as we walked past, helping a customer pick out something at one of the shelves.
At first, I tried to convince myself that it was just a wrong choice in buildings, that she must have somehow become one of the people whoād seen too much, that maybe she took a carriage out of the city walls while we were busy in the Archives, and decided to look out the windows. In my head, it made sense. It was the only thing I could think of.
But no. I went past her shop today. I convinced Clay I needed to go to the cafĆ© down the street past her place, in order to get something to help calm my nerves. They sell tea there ā Clay was telling me of the calming properties of his favorite tea just the other day, so I knew heād agree if I said something like that.
And when we walked past, she was just fine. She was outside, watching a man replace her glass window that Iād broken the night before. Clay even stopped to ask her what happened to her window, and she told him she didnāt know, that it was just like that when she woke up this morning and went to get ready to open shop for the day.
What happens to these people when night falls that they end up this way? Are they all really like that behind closed doors after a certain hour? Do they just cease to exist mentally? Clay isnāt like that. Iāve seen him sleeping at night. He sleeps like a normal person. He can stay up as long as he wants. He can lose sleep. He can oversleep.
Margaret can stay up past nightfall. Iāve seen her at the archives late into the night, not even making any deal of it. Is it only people who businesses close at nightfall that are like that? What makes them different?
Iām sorry todayās message is going to be so short, and that I could only send yesterdayās out now along with it. Thereās still a lot I wanted to talk about, some messages I need to answer, but right now, itās just hard to focus.
I had to take a lot of breaks while trying to write this. I didnāt sleep well last night, and I donāt know if I will now, either. Tomorrow could be a reset day. Maybe Iāll just sleep in, if I actually end up able, and use whatever time I have left after that to finally answer my fatherās email and respond to all of your comments.
For now, I hope life is treating you kinder than it has for anyone living here.

2024.11.29 09:39 Beeeck Low FPS in background tasks after updating to win11 24H2
Hello!
I'm having issues with my Browser and Discord mainly after updating to 24H2 when they aren't the active window. As in they only start lagging and dropping frames when they are in the background. The issue immediately resolves itself as soon as I click on them though so they become the active window again.
What I've tried to fix the issue so far: -Reinstalled Windows multiple times, even tried 23H2 but that didn't help either.
- Tried a different Graphics Card (radeon 7900xt) after i've wiped my old drivers using DDU in Windows safe mode.
- Tried out different Monitors. This one seemed to help after I turned off the Efficiency Mode for my Browser, but as soon as I switched back to my Ultrawide Display, the issues immediately came back. (I even bought another Ultrawide to see if the issue was related to my current Display, but the throttling keeps happening with the new one as well)
-Rolled back to previous graphics drivers.
I'm kind of starting to lose my mind at this point because I am certain that my System shouldn't have any issues with background tasks even when gaming. The fact that this only happens when I have games in the foreground must mean that something is throttling my background tasks but I just can't seem to find out why.
My Specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
16GB Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Windforce V2
MSI Tomahawk WIFI AMD B650
64GB Corsair Vengeance grau DDR5-6000 DIMM CL30 Dual Kit
