ES001 - A late intro

[gene_driver]

[His writing appears as formal and neat]

After some clarification about the current situation from one of your greeters, I have established myself at this temporary housing. Though the rooms are... uncomfortably small with limited privacy, I will adapt to them until I take a job in order to maintain myself here

Hello, Lance! I'm Cara. I hope you get yourself settled in soon.

Memory crystals seem to show up at random. [pentaps, the following is totally scribbled out fifteen seconds after she writes it.] What do you know about them already?

[gene_driver]

I am required to settle in soon so that I can focus on the more important issues at hand.

...Random? Then regaining our memories here is just a stroke of luck...?

[feathered_earth]

[...Man Lance you totally remind her of one of her old Sphere-friends. SHE IS GOING TO TRY TO BEFRIEND YOU NOW.]

What kind of issues do you mean?

And yeah, it is. You'll find them all of a sudden, and it's just fragments. But it's still good to have.

[gene_driver]

[He will appreciate it in the long run! ....Even if he doesn't realize it at first.]

Most important issue is restoring all of my memories.

...Even if they are just small fragments, some progress towards my goal is better than none at all.

[monoideist]

It's good to meet you Lance. I'm Dyad.

Memory crystals are small, glowing rocks that return bits of memory, but I'm not entire sure how they're obtained, other than randomly.

[gene_driver]

...Hello, Dyad.

Restoring our memories is just a random process it seems.

[monoideist]

It is. I've been here a number of months and only received the one.

[gene_driver]

You...have only received one so far? [Though Dyad can't see it, a rather large frown grew on his face, even bigger than normal]

Memory Crystals: Use At Your Own Risk. Sure, you'll get a memory back, but it might be a lousy one. And you might end up dressed like a clown for a week afterward.

[gene_driver]

Despite how unpleasant a memory is, regaining all of them is still my overall objective here.

...and I'm certain that I will not dress up like a clown for a week.

[seeya_next_life]

Maybe not of your own volition...

[gene_driver]

I won't be persuaded into dressing up like a clown, no matter how severe the circumstances are.

...Am I correct to assume that you're speaking from a past experience?

[lotus_bloomed]

Hello Lance! My name is Lotus.

I have only seen one, but it was strange. I started remembering as soon as I touched it, and after the memory, I was dressed like Bell.

[gene_driver]

...Who is this "Bell?"

[lotus_bloomed]

Bell is [There's an inkblot as Lotus hesitates.] a pervert my dad's partner really strange [The words appear only briefly, and are immediately scribbled out.]

[gene_driver]

[Notices the hesitation due to the stalling and scribbling out, but decides not to push it]

...Your father is here?

[ruby_nova]

Hey Lance! I'm Nova. I'm new here, too, so maybe we can help each other out! It's good to have friends when you find yourself in an unexpected situation.

[gene_driver]

...Working towards a common goal will most likely increase the chance of success, but only if our thoughts don't clash.

[ruby_nova]

Well, we all have the common goal of making it in this crazy world, right?

[gene_driver]

...My main goal is to restore all of my memories.
