Okay, no memory, no home, no money, and no idea where this place "Memento Eden" actually is. At least Lloyd's helping me out with this. I'll have to think of a way to pay him back

Normally I'd love to help you but there's a slight problem. Nothing too serious, just a small thing really. You see, right now all the buildings have, well, disappeared.

You used to have a free apartment, though! And there was a school. Hopefully everything will be back real soon.

[adultlike_child]

Oh. Yeah, I can see how that's a problem.

/wrong icon, sorry

Under normal circumstances, I'd suggest the Ari Apartments, but you sorta-kinda came at a really weird time. All the buildings have disappeared, so we're all without shelter at the moment. And I just got my bakery underway too... drats.

But once everything comes back, I'm sure you can go to school and stuff. This is just the island being weird, I'm sure of it.

No problem.

[adultlike_child]

Disappeared? Like just...poof? How's that possible?!

[[OOC: Strikes are thoughts.]]

[twilightsmile]

Poof. One day they were here, the next... I'm sleeping under the open stars.

I think it's the island's way of saying it wants to mess with us.

[adultlike_child]

The island messes with us?

[catslooklikeme]

We're all kind of camping until the buildings pop back up, but when that happens, we'll help you get settled in the apartments. Until then, you can come join us. We're all working together to make sure everyone gets through this alright. Hope you like fish.

[adultlike_child]

Thanks, I appreciate it. And, no, I don't mind fish.

My name's Arnold. What's yours?

[catslooklikeme]

My name's Nall. Try not to worry about this too much. I know showing up here can be jarring. You showed up at a bad time, but this place normally isn't so bad. Strange things happen from time to time, but you get a free room and food and your memories come back with time. We just need to stick out this situation a little bit longer.

[adultlike_child]

Nice to meet you, Nall.

You mean you have amnesia, too? This is common?

[dysprosodia]

Assuming that all the buildings return. Which had better.

[adultlike_child]

The others seem to think they will. Hopefully, they're right.

My name's Arnold. What's yours?

[dysprosodia]

If it's like . . . last time, then it should.

-- what's with you? Just introducing yourself like that right off the bat.

[adultlike_child]

If we're all stuck here, I don't see a reason why I should try to keep who I am secret. We're bound to run into each other unless this place is larger than it looks.
