"You got about three seconds to shut your damn mouth, Vicky, before I sock it off! The only attention you're gonna attract by screaming is the guards, who will pound your ass for getting them worked up for no reason!" Yeah, so, that probably was untrue, but hey, it's not like Vicky knew. He pointed to the broken cocoon chunks. "You just fell out of that egg, Twiggy, and you can try to crawl back in there yourself if you really want to."
Charger turned away, grabbing two noob sets (clothes, maps, journals). He held one out to Derrick, the other he threw at Vicky. "Everyone wakes up in Edensphere without memories. Welcome to your new life. Exit's that way!" He glared at Vicky, pointing toward the area with his thumb. "You get out, or I'll throw you out myself."

Then again- did they know it wasn't?
He gave Charger a disapproving look as he accepted the packet and began dressing, moving protectively in front of the man he'd emerged alongside.
"Hey, no need to be such a jackass about it. Come to think of it, this IS pretty disturbing." He then turned to... Vicky.
"But you could stand to settle down, too, my friend."
He finally realized he should think back on his life when Charger mentioned no memories... only to realize that aside from the dream, nothing was there. "... What in the hell? I really DON'T have any memories!"

"Eeep! Ok ok ok, I'm shutting my mouth! MOUTH IS SHUTTING! Even if it is impossible for humans to be born from eggs, I can see why a muscular guy like you wouldn't know much in the ways of biology and nature. Are those muscles real or from roids? Either way, impressive!"
He caught his thrown clothing and ducked behind Derrick. "Seriously? No memories? No way--I did not sign up for this!" Wait--why was he saying that? Why did this sound familiar ( ... )

"They're real, Vicky, and so is everything else. No memories but the dream. Born from an egg." He waved toward the rows of cocoons halfheartedly. "No one signed up for it. Well," he grinned smugly, "at least not that anyone remembers. Maybe you can start an investigation, and call it the Complex Brothers Firm."
Heading back over to his chair, he flopped down, drawling through the rest: "Anyone can read whatever you write in the journals. Get a job within three weeks or you're kicked out of Temp Housing, where you can stay now, and there is something really ironic about you calling yourself 'Genius', Vicky." If there was something more he was supposed to explain, he didn't really know nor care. "I got a job to do, go have fun starting your new life."

He then looked thoughtful as he opened his journal. Words were appearing in it even as he looked.
"Complex Brothers Firm. Oh, yeah. Let's get settled into this hippie commune and find out more about it. I am QUITE curious." He glanced at the map. "Look, they're kind enough to give us money and a map to start off our careers. How GENEROUS."
