All of the water here is making me nervous, but I'm not sure why. Is anyone else afraid of it, or am I just weird? I had to go inside. Now I'm somewhere in the ship with lots of sheep. I feel like I've been around sheep before...

I don't like to go near it because it smells bad, but I'm not exactly afraid of it.

There's no shame in staying in the hold, though. Without memories, we have little choice but to trust our instincts.

[rustyarmor]

Oh, it smells? I didn't notice...

You're right! I guess I'll just try to stay away from water for now.

[twoninths]

It does indeed smell! Although, the odour to which I refer is masked below-deck by the... smell of everything else.

And since you are new here, I shall waive the charge for my excellent advice. Welcome to the "fishbowl," such as it is.

[rustyarmor]

Oh, I guess it's a good thing that I can't smell then...

Eh!? Th-there's a fee? Umm, why is it called the fishbowl?

[novagravitation]

....there are sheep on the boat?!?!?!?!

[rustyarmor]

I found some of them, and... I sort of like them. I think.

[novagravitation]

They are awfully cute. Hi! Have we met?? I'm Nova.

[rustyarmor]

I haven't met too many people yet. I'm Fullmetal, nice to meet you Nova! Have you been here a long time?

[child_proteus]

If your gut is telling you to stay away from the water, I say, totally go with your gut. Right now, it's all that we've really got, yeah? No one's gonna know you better than you. Even without memories.

[rustyarmor]

Ah, that's true. I didn't think of it that way! But I wish I knew why I didn't like it...

[child_proteus]

It'll come to you -- all in due time, I think. We've each got to take it little by little. Until that time comes, though, I think you've got the right idea. Just listen to your gut. I know that there are a lot of questions right now, and to be honest, there are going to be more. Just don't let it get you down, alright?

[rustyarmor]

Thanks for your advice! I won't let it get me down. I'm sure I'll get my memory back, because there's someone I want to see.

Ah, I'm Fullmetal, nice to meet you!

[rustyarmor]

Y-you think so? I guess you're not afraid of the water then, right?

[rustyarmor]

I guess not...

But I'll stay down here either way. At least until we reach the land.

[snowburned]

Do you know how to swim?

[rustyarmor]

I don't really know... but seeing the water splashing everywhere made me really worried.

...

What if I start to rust!??
