First Bloom

[The print is the neat block of someone accustomed to taking notes, but there’s a slight flourish to it, as if for all the neatness the writer was too busy moving onto the next word to let the ink of the prior dry.]

It feels like I can fly! Well, not fly exactly, but I feel light and it is so easy to move and it feels like the entire world is

What do I look like? Um. I am not really certain.

[There's an inkblot as the pen hesitates, then, moments later, after he's pulled one out to check-]

My hair is black. Does that help?

[grab_my_bells]

Kind of, yes. How old ar

We may have known a Lotus, once. My roommate and I. Would you like to meet?
My roommate is Youth, the guy you're talking to in another set of comments. [Draws an arrow to Youth's first comment]

[lotus_bloomed]

You might have known me? [The words are written very quickly, with a bold, slashing hand that comes from being too impatient to finish one letter before moving on to the next.]

Yes, I would like to meet! But, um, where? Everything is cold and icy outside.

He did stop in the middle of the word 'question.'

[The writing is hasty.]

Where is Youth when this is happening?

OOC

[[ooc: Let's say home, living room. So that he doesn't have to run around trying to find Stoneface or Bridge to see if he can take the rest of the shift off. Because he would not be a good worker after reading that.]]

Hello Youth! It is nice to meet you!

The only person I have met here is Truth. Before you, I mean. And whoever it was writing before.

Hey there and welcome to Edensphere, Lotus. My name's Sky.

This is the first ice storm I've experienced, and I've been here for more than a year. We have normal seasons.

[lotus_bloomed]

It is nice to meet you Sky, and thank you!

It is good to hear that it is not always this cold here.

[blue_shields]

You as well.

Thankfully not. And we certainly don't always have ice covering things. I'm a member of the Watch, and it's making our job pretty difficult.

[lotus_bloomed]

What is the Watch, and what do you do?

[handy_psychic]

Hi, Lotus! I'm Bridge! ^_^ It's so nice to meet you~ ♥ You're really enthusiastic.

[lotus_bloomed]

It is nice to meet you as well, Bridge! And thank you, you seem very enthusiastic too! I am certain that we will get along well.

What does ^_^ mean?

[handy_psychic]

Definitely. I try to be happy and optimistic all of the time, so if you're the same way, I think we'll do just fine.

It's a happy face! [[OOC: Pretend that Bridge draws a normal face to demonstrate.]]

[lotus_bloomed]

I think we will!

Oh, that is interesting! ^_^! Are there other things like that too?

[pompous_today]

Hello, Lotus. My name is Simon. It's quite unfortunate that you had to arrive during a serious ice storm like this, but I'm glad you are able to maintain a sunny disposition in spite of it.

[lotus_bloomed]

Thank you, Simon! The storm is not very pleasant, but everyone has been kind, and I have a warm place to stay.

[pompous_today]

That is good to hear, then. I have been here for nearly 9 months and it continues to amaze me how kind and generous people here can be.

[lotus_bloomed]

I am certain that I will like it here, then!

Now if I could just figure out what it is that I need to do... it is strange to have forgotten everything.
