I don't really

eh

[there's a frustrated pause before he starts again with small, neat but quick handwriting - the type used for jotting down information in the most efficient manner]

Alright, I'm kinda new to this shit, if you couldn't guess. No clue where I came from, but I doubt magic journals were in abundance. [that last line is added more

Um, hi. Welcome to Edensphere--I'm Cara.

Things aren't usually like this, no.

[all_blue_prince]

[pinged by the feminine name - and he's hoping he's right, or this will get awkwarder]

A pleasure to meet you, Miss Cara! I hope you weren't injured in the uh, excitement.

[feathered_earth]

[Pfth. She's not too comfortable talking about what happened, but he's kind of funny.]

No, I was fine. So how have you been settling into Edensphere? Found a job yet?

[all_blue_prince]

No, not yet! Still trying to get settled in, I'm afraid.

[iattractmushi]

Cigarettes are sold in the Bazaar, normally.

I'd say you came at a bad time, but there never seems to be a good one. Usually things are less [pause] violent, though.

[all_blue_prince]

[a shame he can't convey his gratitude through text, so he'll just stick with:] Bazaar? Got it. And thanks.

Ohoo? Business as usual then?

[iattractmushi]

Sure. And I guess... it's always something with this place. [When he first arrived, he was forced to learn how to ice skate. FORCED. He wasn't very happy about that :\]

I'm Cloud, by the way.

[all_blue_prince]

[Oh fffff Prince can think of worse ways to spend an arrival.]

... I better start stocking up on cigarettes, shouldn't I?

And nice to meet ya, Cloud. [Is that a girl's name? He can't tell D8] ... Are the names here always so gender neutral?

[longnosedliar]

People keep on saying that right now isn't a good time, but that's what they said when I arrived too, and they were - we were - being attacked by giant ants. For some reason, I don't think it's ever a good time here.

..Oh, I'm Sniper. I'm new here too.

[all_blue_prince]

....

Ants?

[longnosedliar]

Yep. Giant ants. As big as people, and stingers as long as your arm and carnivorous for some reason even if they had giant leaves to eat anyway. But they're gone now.

[all_blue_prince]

tch

I love it here already. Anything else I should know about? Killer butterflies perhaps?

[burntorangesky]

[Have some pen taps. Interesting first entry... especially the bit about goddesses and such.]

Welcome to Edensphere, Prince; my name is Fred.

I can assure you that while many things happen on a daily basis here, acts of violence are generally not one of them.

[all_blue_prince]

[Fred? Well damn, filed away as a male name, which means she's not gonna get the full welcome]

I'm starting to guess that.

So what the hell happened then?

[burntorangesky]

[Which is mostly why she did it. So amusing when people first realize she's a woman...]

I was not actually there at the time, thankfully, but from what I have heard, someone went mad. He first started shooting people, then switched to simply attacking them via hand-to-hand combat.

I am not entirely certain anyone knows of the 'why'... or if they do, they have not mentioned it on the journals.

[all_blue_prince]

I see...

Saw some injuries on the journal. No one died, did they?

[paintitgray]

[Pentap, then...]

Do you know how to roll a cigarette?

[all_blue_prince]

I'll find out one shitty way or another.

[paintitgray]

[Further pentaps.]

You're a real charmer.

[all_blue_prince]

Ain't I? [thinks you're a dude, whoops]

Anyway, Cloud already told me where I can find a pack.
