1 - Introduction
My name is Crow.
I'm aware that is something of a curt introduction, but it is the best I can currently offer. I have just... Woken up as it were. All I recall is a dream, a situation I am told is shared by all new arrivals to this strange place. I arrived--or woke, or was born, whatever the proper term may be--with a man named Flight.

1) Watch your step. Things have a habit of changing around here.
2) It is far better to wear nothing than the clothes we are given to begin with.
3) People inevitably seem to desire employment when they arrive here. But it is surprisingly what being pretty, charming, and completely useless can accomplish.
4) Assume nothing.
I'm Argent, by the way.

Perhaps, however, given Flight's current obsession I will disregard number two.
I hear you are good with hands? How is that?

Ah, you've been talking to Fullmetal, I see. I'm not good with hands so much as with interpretation. Hands are simply an easy thing to describe and picture through the written word.
Why?

I see. So you are good at analyzing things? It's an rare observer that can interpret things well, let alone accurately.
Why? Mere curiosity.

I'm pretty new here too, so I don't have much I can tell you. Just, like, pay attention to your surroundings. It's crazy easy to get lost here.

I will attempt to keep my attention on my surroundings, though that may be more difficult then you think.
However I will be wary of getting lost, thank you for the advice.

More difficult than I think? Wh Well, I'm totally hopeless at it, so I think it's pretty difficult to begin with.

Then perhaps I am wrong and it will not be harder then you imagine. The map they gave me should be of some assistance. And I can always trace my path in this journal should I become confused.

... Does he really?

Well, if you're looking for experiences, a lot of us have them coming out the wazoo. There's the dream, of course. And it's up to you whether or not you think it's memory or nonsense, though I think it's mostly memory, myself.

I am of two minds about the dream. Certain details seem far too vivid to be mere imagination, and yet the sequence of events I experienced was certainly less then coherent.

Ah, see? Can't even go a nice plain introduction without spouting off something that's going to get somebody confused. Let's see here..."moonspeak" kind of means "odd, crazy talk"? Kind of like gibberish, that's all over the place? I think some people think I just make up random stuff, but I swear somewhere out there -- there are other dudes who talk just like me. Honest. As for "wazoo"...pretty much just means "ass".
Ah ha. Lots of people here are kind of vague when talking about their dream. Don't blame them, really, since it's only thing we start out with that's ours, sotospeak. But from those that I have heard about -- it seems that maybe parts of it can be less than literal, like the way proper dreams are. Mine though was totally immediate. The way proper memory is.

British? Dudes?
I more or less guessed, but I didn't wish to make wrong assumptions. Moonspeak sounds like an interesting term, but wazoo I think I shall eave alone, if it's all the same.
I did not mean to be vague. It's simply that my dream was not a pleasant one. Some of the elements of it give me pause--If it is indeed heavily based on memory, then my past is not a pleasant one. Death features highly in it, which is why I hope that perhaps it is largely metaphorical, rather then literal.
