Hey, uh, are you okay?

[ican_smile]

*whoa what freezes* ...............

........

..............I-it's a robot.

[thetankisalie]

I'm not a robot! Entirely.

*removes helmet*

See? Cyborg. Not a robot. Although we do have some robots here.

[ican_smile]

*looks up as he takes off the helmet* ...Ah.

*returns her gaze to the ground where it belongs* B, but how are you a cyborg.

[thetankisalie]

Apparently my frie- comr- fellow soldier was run over by a tank, and we needed some organs, so...

Uh, you probably don't want to hear this. You don't remember anything, do you?

[ican_smile]

Tank...?

Ah-- Th, that's right. Hhhhow did you know.

[thetankisalie]

Everyone loses their memories when they come here. It's not as bad as it sounds, I guess. They come back over time, and this place isn't so bad. There's probably an apartment room waiting for you if you want it.

.....What do you mean... How is that possible? *looks up at him*

[thetankisalie]

I have no idea. Nobody really seems to know how it works. I'm not even 100% certain we're on Earth.

[ican_smile]

Th-that's messed up... Tttthen, where are we?

[thetankisalie]

Noooooo idea. Still hoping to find that out myself. The name's Simmons, by the way. What's yours?

[ican_smile]

.............N...Nobuko.

[thetankisalie]

Well, it's nice to meet you. Don't be afraid to speak up, everyone's pretty nice here. Except Grif, but I think every small community has its Grif.

[ican_smile]

I don't know....what I should be doing.

Hhhhow do I know what to do if...I...can't remember everything?

[thetankisalie]

Oh, trust me, I had the exact same problem. I suggest getting a job. It really helps to stave off the crushing boredom.

How do I know th-that you're telling me the truth.

I-I mean, isn't this all k-kind of...unheard of?
