Hey, I-  [The writing stops abruptly as if the writer suddenly realized they had no idea what to say. It is soon crossed out as he starts again.]

I'm back. Apparently I was hauled down to the fourth floor for the last month or so, but it seemed like considerably shorter than that on my end. [There is another pause before he continues again. This is

Forgotten anyone? Mind explaining that one?

Sorry to barge in, that just sounded a tad ominous.

[imthefavorite]

Ah- I don't recognize your writing either. Didn't mean to cause any alarm.

I've been here and disappeared before, showing back up with no memories again. More than once, actually. So I just wanted to let my friends know that that wasn't the case.

[Pauuuse. This is new, and yet unexpectedly familiar.]

Yes, I'm new. Said I was Hawk, so now I'm likely stuck with it.

People can come here more than once? I caught someone mentioning being born again from the cocoons, but you're talking about something else, right.

Glad you made it, then.

[imthefavorite]

No, I was born again from a cocoon when I last remember showing up. So I've been born at least three times. You can die and be born again and keep your memories, too. Or sometimes you can be born again and remember just some things, or nothing at all. And often people just disappear out of the sphere entirely, which is what I was guessing most of my friends thought happened to me. Sometimes they show back up without memories again, and sometimes they don't show back up at all.

Given all of that, yeah. I am glad as well.

My name is Aim, by the way. Or Lockon- either one is fine. Nice to meet you Hawk.

It's mad how familiar that sounds, other than the cocoon part. Not sure if that should disturb me, since you're the first to tell me that.

Yeah, good to meet you, too. One is your real name, then?
