{Five (33)} &diams Remember me to one who lives there / He once was a true love of mine

That [pause] could not have been merely a dream. I refuse to believe it was--that all those people, and that city, were just a part of something I dreamed up.

My true name--or part of it at least, it seems [pause] somewhat incomplete--is Romana. [Pause, pen taps] I will still answer to 'Fred,' if people feel more comfortable calling me by that name.

I see Juliet is alright. Innovator, are you also [pen taps] well?

-Romana/Fred

Boss. If you come anywhere near me, I may have to hurt you.

If it was a book on that particular sort of knot-work I wouldn't be surprised if he got it on lone from Bell.

Guarded, hm? Sounds like the people in charge are awfully invested in people not figuring out their circumstances.

[And doesn't that feel familiar.]

Hn. Lost the memory of the memory-loss place. Not sure if that's ironic or just fits in with the theme of the place.

I am not entirely sure Genius would willingly read anything Bell gave him, after the whole Lotus thing.

Interestingly enough, there seemed to be a [pen taps] division between the people who came through the Gate, and the ones originally living in the town. The Gate guardians, unsurprisingly enough, where comprised of the original population.

[Yes, doesn't it just.]

Either? Both? Though I hate to think of him stuck there.

[live_ringer]

Probably not. But that doesn't make picturing the potential reaction any less funny.

Sounds like a bit of a conspiracy and the natives know more than they're letting on.

Well, he's passed through two such places already, looks like. Maybe he'll keep doing it till he hits on the right one.
