[Communication ceases for a moment, while Prince hunts around for anything that looks familiar to him first. It's all coming back slowly, but eventually...]
One of those floating islands. I can see a lighthouse from here.
Probably on stuff, then. If you can head toward one of the bridges away from the lighthouse, you'll eventually run into someone who can help--the one directly opposite of it, if you can manage it. That'll get you to the access point faster.
That's where the elevator is. You can take it up to the residential area, or down to the wilderness and scrapyard. Things are being set up so you can claim a bed in temporary housing, for now. After everything settles down again... well, we'll see.
Yeah. It started a few days ago--newborns popping up out of nowhere, all over the Sphere, not coming out of cocoons. Most of them were completely without memories, but a few of them remembered being here before. [Like you.]
[And another pause.]
Prince. That's the only name you can remember having, right?
Prince?

That's right. And you are?

It's been a while, I'm not surprised you don't remember. This is Gi [pauuusseee....] Cloud.
[Another pause.]
You just turn up somewhere?

Cloud? White hair, smokes a lot?
And [inkspot] shit I don't know where I am.

Maybe I can help if you tell me what your surroundings look like.
[He really hopes you didn't end up in the Wilderness... that blank whiteness is just a little too eerie, even for him.]

And remind me what an access point is again?

[Pause.] By the way, don't go to the wilderness.

Don't worry, it wasn't on my shitty to-do list.
And am I right in thinking I'm not the first new arrival? [If things have to settle down, stands to reason this place is acting up]

[Yes, it's the only name he can remember, but it doesn't explain why Cloud's curious]

Because you turned up again, maybe a month after you vanished, with no memories and calling yourself Chivalry.

That so? [Forgive the sudden lack of forthcoming conversation; Prince is trying to decide what to make of that]
No, I just remember being Prince.

Good luck getting used to the place again.
