Ψ Entry the First - Beginning

[destinyfollowed]

[The handwriting that follows is fairly neat and precise. Its tone comes across as a bit formal, and at first, the letters appear slowly but gradually begin to show up at a faster rate.]The person who greeted me when I came from the cocoon was very helpful. I understand that this world is called Edensphere, and the only memory I have of who I am is

This is Reed. I trust you've settled into temporary housing by now? Should you require any further aid or answers, don't hesitate to ask.

[destinyfollowed]

Hello, Reed.

I have settled in, thank you. And thank you for being there to greet me. It made the experience less uncomfortable.

[heretic_hamlet]

[Well. Not bad for his first time.]

I'm glad to hear it. You're more fortunate than most to have arrived at a rare moment of tranquil and splendor such as this.

[destinyfollowed]

I am glad for the repose. But I feel... discontent somehow. I suppose once I find work, that will change, however.

[ungleucklichen]

Welcome, Spear! My name's Lady, I'm new too.

[destinyfollowed]

Why did you choose that name? If you don't mind me asking.

[ungleucklichen]

I [a slight pause] think it just seemed to fit. I'm just a woman, after all, and that wouldn't work as a name so...

[destinyfollowed]

You're not just a woman. Everyone has something going for them. You just have to find what that is.

Hey, Spear. I'm Cara--welcome to Edensphere!

You'll start getting used to this place soon enough. Things are pretty calm for the moment, so you're kind of lucky that way.

[destinyfollowed]

Thank you, Cara.

It is calm, and peace is good. I could learn to like this place, I think.

[feathered_earth]

It'll probably change soon, but as long as it is peaceful like this we should enjoy it. I hope you do like it here.

And for when it isn't peaceful--you're talking about spears? I run the weapons stall, so if you want you can come and see if something suits you.

[destinyfollowed]

Yes. Whatever comes next may not be anything like this. I think I like it here already.

I feel I have some connection with spears. Maybe when I've settled in a little more, I'll visit this weapons stall of yours.

[unprotagonist]

Spear. [Vaguely sort of familiar, but he can't really put his finger on it. It doesn't feel that important. He pauses on that a moment, before writing something almost as an afterthought.]

A pleasure to meet you. I am Burn.

It would be helpful to you to write your dream down in a seperate, normal notebook.

[destinyfollowed]

Burn? Did you dream of a fire?

[She gets a bit of a self-ping from this. If self-pings are possible, anyway.]

And why is that? Can these journals be destroyed?

[unprotagonist]

[The pen tip rests on the page.]

What else would I get that sort of name from?

[It sounds defensive, and it is. Really, he doesn't mean to act like a jerk. It just comes naturally.]

Yes. But a dream is a private thing. Memories are all we seem to have left of ourselves and our dreams.

Anything you write here, the whole sphere sees.

[destinyfollowed]

You could have been referring to an old injury, or a scar... not necessarily a fire.

I understand. But perhaps mentioning details from the dreams could help us learn more about ourselves.

That is something I'll keep in mind for the future.

Hiya Spear! Welcome to Edensphere!

Being new is kinda hard but you'll get used to it soon.

[destinyfollowed]

Thank you.

I'm sure I will. The people I've spoken with so far have all been very welcoming.
