All right, then. I woke up a few days ago--no, I definitely wasn't born, I'm no infant and I'm quite sure no one but a golem ever sprang to life fully-grown and walking about--and my memories are gone.

My first question would be: Who bloody took them, but I'm sure anyone with the ability and inclination to go around stealing people's memories

I don't recognize the emblem, but as animus said, many foodtypes can be found at the bazaar, including ingredients.

My name is Dyad. Welcome to Edensphere.

[fourplusnipples]

Thank goodness. None of the people near me in the temporary housing seem to want anything besides fried animals to eat.

Dyad. Interesting name.

[monoideist]

I'm sure no one will mind your personal preferences.

Ah.. I suppose so. It seemed to fit. May I ask why you chose Elsa, or is it personal?

[fourplusnipples]

They don't mind, but they do try to persuade me to go out and have a bacon sandwich.

It's just a name that came to mind, and not a bad one. Some of the names here surprise me; they sound more like something you'd call a pet.

[monoideist]

That could be uncomfortable, then.

I'm sure everyone has their reasons. Names are very important, after all.

[fourplusnipples]

I can't say I agree with that. Names are a human thing, a way to keep people organized in their heads because they haven't got another.

[monoideist]

[Some pentaps]

I'm not so sure. Perhaps others may not agree, but I see them as not only to distinguish, but also with personal meaning. Names can serve as personal remainders and mean much more than just the word they are. In a way, they become a metaphor in an of themselves to encompass what a person is.

[Another pause.]

In hindsight, I may have just proved your point.

May I ask what you mean by 'humans'?

[fourplusnipples]

[A brief pause as she chuckles at you, Dyad]

Nothing encompasses a person except that person, but names try to do that. But there are other things that work just as well.

Eh? I mean humans. As opposed to dwarfs, trolls and the like.

[monoideist]

I suppose the inability to word ourselves comes naturally- symbols and metaphors are the best we can approximate. Still, in a situation in which we are to name ourselves with what minimal information we have, I believe they are rather telling.

I would say those don't exist, but I've been recently proved wrong about other creatures.

[fourplusnipples]

That's a way of looking at it.

Why wouldn't they exist? They're as common as muck. I'd be surprised I haven't seen more of them since I arrived here if I didn't know neither species is all that fond of trees.

[monoideist]

...Common as muck? And you're the first I've heard to mention anything of the sort.

[fourplusnipples]

Of course they are, don't you

[Pause as she thinks]

...I don't know why I know about them. But I know they shouldn't be hard to find.

[monoideist]

I'm sure humans aren't all there is- going to the bazaar was enough to have me realize that. But at the same time, I'm not aware for the names of such things.

[fourplusnipples]

Strange. It's not something I even had to try to remember. I just knew what they were.

[monoideist]

Perhaps you're much more versed in the world than I am.

I'll admit, I wasn't aware that griffins existed either, but Rogue proved me wrong in that.

[fourplusnipples]

I wouldn't be so sure about that, Dyad. In this place, we're all on even ground.

Griffin...one of those heraldry animals? We've got them around here?
