Special Agent Lily

The trip into town had been exhausting. It was a coastal city and the closest other city was a good drive through some back hills. Why did anyone even choose to live here? Well, that was partly what Lily was here to figure out. People would come to this city and then never leave.

Something weird was going on and Lily was tasked with finding out what. She worked for a very particular organization that handled anomalies like this city. She'd worked on countless others before, but none were quite as renowned as this one. Other agents had tried to figure it out from the group level, but they either went missing or ended up staying indefinitely.

Lily didn't intend on having either fate befall her and she was more confident than most. Her own abilities and powers, though weak as they were, would give her an edge on whatever forces were at work here.

For now, though, she was holed up in her hotel room. Before she got some rest, she wanted to go over her mission and check in with her team. All she could really do was send them an email report since they were concerned about possible tapping, but it still gave her a way to keep sane. She'd hate it she felt alone here.

Her mission, then, was to uncover whatever was happening here and report back. She was not to engage with the issue, beyond fact-finding, unless absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, this meant she needed to be careful. There weren't any eyes on her right now, but if she started poking around, she was sure she'd draw some ire.

10:57PM -
Checked in at hotel.
All clear.

And send. With that done, she could rest. Lily took no time at all to strip down to her underwear. As weird as this town was, these beds were pretty nice. The comforters almost swallowed her with their size. Were all of the beds like this? Huh. Maybe she should check out getting one for herself before she left.

After snuggling in, she started scrolling on her phone. She might as well do some research while she was falling asleep. She'd poked around the city's website a bunch before she left, but maybe there was something there that she was missing.

She watched the welcome video, but it seemed longer... She didn't really remember much about it too begin with, but she just spaced out. Well, it did give her some inspiration. She'd go see the town's mayor... for some reason. It seemed like a good idea, at least. Maybe she'd poke around town hall first? Whatever the case, she finally set her phone down and started to fall asleep.
