Mm - they'll make sure to let you know of their presence, at least.
And, so I see. I'm glad you do that, sir.
[ She nods and decides to continue. ]
The December of Year Two and the following January are closely linked in what happened. In December, the citizens were compelled to transcribe their wishes onto letters and send them off to "Santa Claus;" almost everyone instead received something grisly or otherwise dangerous in return. In January, it was revealed that the supposed Santa was actually the Postman, who attempted to get the citizens to collectively vote "yes" or "no" to being returned to their respective worlds. When the votes didn't come in unanimous, we were told that they would not be counted at all, though quite a few of us, doubted that they ever would have been in the first place. March brought us nothing except idiotic jokes. Though, from what I assume is the same month, the highway that circles Mayfield was opened. It's not worth explaining since it was another joke at our expense. We managed, though, to go to Deadman's Gulch and it's no longer accessible right now. It was abandoned like Westport, but there weren't any hazmats and we were free to come and go until it closed off.
Maipole and Westport are the only examples we have seen about what the outside world has become, and it's not a pretty picture. More clues are periodically given, but other than that a war has probably taken place. Unfortunately, it's hard to piece them together. The clues we find are generally broadcasted over the phones, so as long as you pay attention, you shouldn't be left in the dark.

Oh, and don't drink the milk.
