[Alright. This isn't something he normally does, but everyone else has been so quiet about it that it's starting to drive him a little nuts. So in the true form of someone who can't keep their mouth shut— here's Noel.]
Okay, so. Who else stayed in town when people went out to the desert? I can't be the only one who noticed the people in town acting strange, right?
[He frowns a little, thoughtfully crossing his arms over his chest.] It was like they couldn't figure out what to do with themselves, but even when I ask them what happened, they look at me like I'm crazy. [Which he's not. Right??] Like they don't even remember it happening.
Anyone else notice anything strange happening back then? And for everyone who went out to the desert— anything strange happen with people out there? Anything see anything like that happen since you got back?
[He's about to cut it there, no introduction, no nothing, but he pauses to add:] Thanks.

I agree. I've been grateful to compare notes with everyone else so far. Especially those with information regarding things that happened before my arrival here. It's been helpful, even if we don't have all the answers yet.
[And she's keeping detailed notes of all of it. It helps her, to see it laid out in front of her. Maybe she'll be able to connect a dot they hadn't noticed yet.]

[THIS WILL END WELL.]
To be honest, having someone to talk it out with is pretty helpful, too. I'm guessing some of us have been here long enough that we're taking things for granted, so it's hard to figure out how to start putting it all together.
[Translation: he's not exactly the thinker in most of these situations.]
