The timeline here doesn't adhere faithfully to any laws. If you pay too much attention to it, you'll notice a great deal of strangeness.
The simplest explanation for how it interacts with our own timelines would be to say... in the end you don't miss anything, and no one misses you. Either you're taken from and returned to the same time, or you might periodically find yourself gaining memories of your own world as though you hadn't left. Those are the most common interactions.
Interesting. I'm no stranger to oddness about time, but the latter interaction is a new one, in its particulars. So it's possible that our current selves are merely a projection of sorts, and our normal selves are continuing in their own history as normal, albeit perhaps feeding us memories? Is there any evidence of the flow going the other way?
To the best of my knowledge, no one has gone home and remembered this place there. However, whether they remember this place when they come back can go either way. Some do, some don't.
...The exception to that might be Christmas cards, now that I think of it. People who leave can sometimes send cards or small gifts for the holiday. That would imply they remember.
I know that a number of people have speculated that there are many of the same person, rather than one who loses or keeps their memory.
Christmas cards? That is certainly an interesting development. Many alternate versions of the same person makes sense, of course. But to my knowledge those from offshoot timelines are doomed to death. Surviving to Christmas is promising.
Really? That is the most scintillating fact I have heard yet. I'm trying to ascertain if the risk is increased. As would seem likely if no one is ever observed outside with memories of this place.
...I've been here longer than most people. I ought to be able to explain the timeline, generally.

Though considering what death is like here, perhaps that's a strong statement to make.

So dying shortly after leaving here is a real risk.

The mechanics of it intrigue me.
