(
And she'll fall as the demon clips her wings and she'll sing despair as he devours things she loved )
I need to get out! Get OUT! I can't breathe! Somebody help! His eyes stung, mind reeling in confusion and fear until a foot burst through the surprisingly-soft wall. His squirming shifted the flow of the inner goop, displacing the fluid pressure. The contents quickly flowed forth, his body bursting through. He slid out onto his back, flailing his arms and legs to stop his momentum until he grasped a neighboring cocoon. The black-haired man coughed, heaved, and emptied the contents of his lungs on the floor, adding to the mess ( ... )

"Eden... Edensphere?" He asked. Well, that was familiar too, and he hoped this man knew a bit more. Then he remembered that he was stark naked, and moved to cover, uh, himself. Thank goodness for towels; it was taken and wrapped around his waist for decency. He wasn't going to stand naked around another guy, sheesh.
"Did you come from one of these?" He had to ask, jerking a thumb to a nearby cocoon. He had to admit, he was a little curious.

"Yes, Edensphere. A place unlike any other. At least that I can remember. Do you remember who you are? Most don't when they are born here. Everyone has a memory. Something to hold onto."
Then he asked a question he wasn't use to. Hmm. "Yes, I was born from one of those almost a year ago."

"I remember the name 'Fugue', but that's all," he answered rather unsure, feeling a little awkward. He had a dream, didn't he? Something about that felt familiar, too, but he needed a quiet place to think any further on it. Instead, he reached a hand back and wiped as much of the goop out of his hair that he could. He really hoped it washed off, because this stuff was disgusting. It didn't taste all that great, either. He scowled, and spat again for good measure.
"Something to wear and something to eat... where do I go for that?" He then asked, starting to shiver. His teeth chattered. Clothes were definitely first on the list. No! A shower. He'd kill for a shower, something comfy and warm to wear, and something hot to eat.
Then, he'd settle somewhere and think... there was something he needed to do, but what?

He looked up at Black and found his eyes narrowing at his words. People that were different or strange were persecuted? His heart sank... what if he was strange or overly different, were people going to blame him for things? He'd been here not even a day and his interest darkened just a little.
"I'll keep that in mind. Where do I find the temporary housing?" The Guard and the Watch. He'd definitely keep an eye out for them. He busied himself with just one- no, two- more meat buns. Mmmm.

Just be calm around the creepy guy, Fugue thought to himself, and accepted the coinage in the pouch. He'd definitely treat himself well tonight, but the more he blew his cash, the more he needed a job. Damn.
The mention of the Wilderness had his full attention. The term 'wilderness' might explain it, but boy what did he know. The whole 'Fourth Floor' thing didn't seem to register at all.
"The Wilderness... is it dangerous?"

But that dribbling sense washed away. As a Guide, he had a duty to do and that was to protect. His fingers lifted idly to his own forehead and rubbed. Such plaguing monsterous thoughts lately.
"It can be relaxing, and it can be dangerous. There was someone that figured it changes at least twice around mid month, sometimes into three different places. The place can range from an all you can eat buffet to a god forsaken war zone. Tread carefully, and those that enter alone usually get lost."

His hand went to wipe more goop off his face. "Thank you. You've been helpful. I think I know what I need to do now."
As informative as Black is- he knew quite a bit now- Fugue just wanted to get the hell away from him. Standing around for too much longer in his presence was jingling warning bells in his mind, and his gut agreed... though the meat buns were nice. Exit, stage right! Or was it left?
"I want to wash this stuff off. It's starting to itch." He hadn't intended to whine a bit, but the itching was only going to drive him crazy.

"Good, but do not try to reach the fourth floor. If it wants you there, it will take you there. Some experience memories. Sometimes alone, sometimes with others. You will remember, but be warned, sometimes too much information can be deadly. Nothing is private in this place."
He bowed a little and gestured towards the door, "Yes of course. The wash should be near the temporary housing." He slips towards the door and opens it, pointing off in a direction, then lead him out, alerting the Guard as he passed and once into the temporary housing which had not been far, he bowed again, "I am your guide in this world, but still, Do be careful."

Two faces had suddenly flashed into his mind when they approached his assigned room. One was a man with short blond hair looking awfully grumpy, and the other was a woman with long hair, accompanied by the snarling of a wolf. Fugue scratched his head, wondering why he'd recall such a thing, but he made a note to try not to forget... maybe he knew these two once. Were they here? He would try to find them, maybe.
Fugue looked up one last time when Black paused and bowed, and he nodded. "Thanks again, Black. I'll be careful, maybe find you if I have questions."
And yet he beat a hasty exit into that room, wanting to get away from this unsettling man and get this sticky junk out of his hair.
