...this... ...is most disturbing... I can't seem to recall anything... No, that can't possibly be- there has to be somethingWas it because of.... ...because of what? ...I thought something was there, but it's gone now. Hm

Are you new as well, milord?

[raising_elfire]

If 'new' amounts to having one's memory wiped and being left to wander aimlessly in this place, then yes, I suppose I am.

...do...I know you?

[eccentricsniper]

Indeed, that is how I was a mere three weeks ago. However many kind people have helped me, and I've found that even though my memories are gone, this place is actually quite lovely.

Forgive me, but like you, I only remember my name at the moment. That being said, there is something about you that...

Oh dear, I apologize! I haven't even given you my name yet! I'm Louise.

[raising_elfire]

That's nice to know. The few I've met thus far have proven quite friendly and helpful though, yes.

I see. Well, a name is a precious thing. I think we should be thankful we have at least that!

...Louise. ...that's a lovely name. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Pent.

[eccentricsniper]

I'm glad to hear it! I have met some truly kind and helpful people during my time here.

It is, indeed. I'm relieved that we all remember that, at least! It would be so very confusing if none of us could recall our names.

Oh! Thank you, Lord Pent. I'm flattered!

[raising_elfire]

Perhaps it's because they've possibly experienced such before as well?

Well, there are always ways to get by, even if one had no name.

But yours does seem to suit you. So you said you've been here for several weeks? And someone else has informed me that food and shelter are also provided here, so that takes care of basic concerns...

[eccentricsniper]

That sounds reasonable. Even so, they didn't need to go out of their way to make sure I was informed about the island. It was heartwarming!

True. It's comforting at least having something from wherever we arrived from, though.

You are too kind, milord! Yes, I've been here for a bit, and have settled in quite nicely. You will have a room assigned to you, and free meals as well. Has anyone shown you where the apartments are yet? I could lead you there, if you'd like.

[raising_elfire]

It is nice to know that there are people like that in the world at all. Or... rather, whatever world this is.

Ah, no one has done much more than given me information. I would most appreciate it if you would show me where these apartments are though- that is, if it won't be any trouble for you.

[eccentricsniper]

It is. The people here are from many different worlds, so it comforts me to know that there are kind people everywhere!

Of course, it would be no trouble at all! I'm glad to help as much as I can.

[raising_elfire]

That's an excellent way to look at it, yes!

In that case, thank you very much. I shall take you up on that offer then!

[eccentricsniper]

I am happy that you agree!

Very well then! This way, milord. *timeskip to the apartment listing?* Hmm, it seems you are rooming with a man named Ike, in room number 809. I don't know him, sadly.

[raising_elfire]

Hm. Well, that makes two of us, doesn't it? *Chuckles*

[eccentricsniper]

I'm sure you'll get along! I've quickly made friends with my own roommate. She's a delightfully clever girl!

[raising_elfire]

How fortunate! I'm curious as to who I'll be rooming with. I suppose I shall find out soon enough.

Thank you again.

[eccentricsniper]

You are welcome! I hope I've managed to explain things well enough to you. I'm still learning about this place as each day passes.

If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask me! I'll be more than happy to help with anything, Lord Pent.

[raising_elfire]

You have indeed, but I imagine any help is appreciated when you're starting with practically a clean slate!

Life is about learning. At least with the help I've received, I have a little to go by now. But I shall certainly keep you in mind, Louise.
