[001] The First Day

[infusedbymagic]

Where in the world am I? I awoke here about five minutes ago, but that’s it. I remember nothing else. What I was doing, where I was headed, even who I a

You're not in any danger, miss. And as hard as it is to believe, the amnesia is normal.

[infusedbymagic]

That's good to hear. I admit I was getting a little concerned when Ike mentioned others.

Normal? I don't think I like this definition of normal...

[allnaturalmagic]

There are lots of others here, but everyone is friendly. Well, everyone I've met, at least.

No one really does, but sadly there isn't much we can do. Everyone here arrived at this place with their memories taken away.

[infusedbymagic]

Yes, I've met only friendly people too. That's something, at least.

I suppose that's true, and in time this will start to feel more normal.

How long have you been here?

[allnaturalmagic]

It takes some time to adjust to this place. I've certainly not reached "normal" yet, myself.

I've only been here about three weeks, so not for very long. Still, the kindness of the people here has helped me to feel welcome, if not exactly... at peace.

[infusedbymagic]

Well, it seems we have nothing but time on our hands, right? Looking around this little town, it seems most people are content, for the moment.

I'm Celes, by the way.

[allnaturalmagic]

Yes... lots and lots of time, apparently.

Everyone is content for the moment, since one of the island's events just recently ended. Has anyone mentioned anything about that to you yet?

It's nice to meet you, Celes! I'm Terra.

[infusedbymagic]

My pleasure, Terra.

Events? That is something I've not heard yet. Or, well, does this have something to do with the island "messing" with us? The blond woman I was speaking with a moment ago said something to that effect.

[allnaturalmagic]

It does indeed. I've only experienced one such case since arriving here, but it seems that the island likes to play pranks on us. No one really knows what causes things to happen, be it gods or magic or some other force.

Just recently, I was stuck to someone for a week and a half. No matter what I or any of the other residents did, we couldn't pull ourselves away from the person we were stuck to. It was... worrisome.
