ES001 - A late intro

[gene_driver]

[His writing appears as formal and neat]

After some clarification about the current situation from one of your greeters, I have established myself at this temporary housing. Though the rooms are... uncomfortably small with limited privacy, I will adapt to them until I take a job in order to maintain myself here

Memory Crystals: Use At Your Own Risk. Sure, you'll get a memory back, but it might be a lousy one. And you might end up dressed like a clown for a week afterward.

[gene_driver]

Despite how unpleasant a memory is, regaining all of them is still my overall objective here.

...and I'm certain that I will not dress up like a clown for a week.

[seeya_next_life]

Maybe not of your own volition...

[gene_driver]

I won't be persuaded into dressing up like a clown, no matter how severe the circumstances are.

...Am I correct to assume that you're speaking from a past experience?

[seeya_next_life]

Good luck resisting the Sphere's special brand of persuasion. I do indeed speak from experience, and trust me, when the Sphere wants to make you miserable? You will be. End of story. Got it memorized?

Hi, I'm Lea, Harbinger of News You Don't Want.

[gene_driver]

Then tell me, what's so significant about Edensphere's brand of persuasion?

...Any information, even if it seems unwanted, is important at this point.

[seeya_next_life]

Let's just say resistance is futile.

[gene_driver]

...Even if resistance is futile, I'll keep my guard up. There's no point in making the situation worse by being caught completely off guard.

[seeya_next_life]

All I'm saying is, if you want your memories back, you're probably going to end up in a grass skirt or a stupid hat or with your hair blue or something at some point or another. And there won't be a damn thing you can do about it, guard or otherwise.

Welcome to the fishbowl.

[gene_driver]

Those are rather childish side effects to endure.

...Fishbowl?

[seeya_next_life]

Well I never said the Sphere was mature about its choice of backlash.

And yeah, the whole place is locked up in a sort of glass sphere thing--hence The Sphere--so some of us call it The Fishbowl. Actually, if you go to the Wilderness right now, it's even more fishbowl-y.

[gene_driver]

...I suppose the reasoning behind the name 'Edensphere' makes more sense now.

Yes, I have heard about the Wilderness and how it changes every so often.
