{One} &diams I'm losing everything I am / Remember nothing of my past

Hello, I suppose.

I am really not sure what is going on in this 'Edensphere' place; I just arrived yesterday. Sky told me that whatever I write in this journal can be seen by everyone, so I'm trying it out.

Does everyone go through that disgusting goo-cocoon birth process? I don't know anything at all about this place.

An introduction would probably be in order about now--my name is Fred. If anyone has any pointers or advice about this place for me, I would love to talk to you. Actually, I would love to talk to anyone at all.

((The writing is a decent copperplate, not too fancy. For the first few sentences the letters appear slowly, as if Fred is not used to writing in this language, but she soon gets the hang of it and writes more quickly.))

I know you. I don't know how, but I do.

[He's getting weird feelings in his head also. He can sense her too.]

The scarf? It's familiar to me also. I think I wore it once. Maybe.

[She holds up one hand to say, 'ok, stop a moment'. Hoping down from her tree root onto the path next to him, she tucks her journal into her belt.]

I take it you're Storm? You... feel... familiar somehow, but I would swear I have never seen your face before.

[Storm frowned, putting a hand to his face. How could she know him but didn't know him?]

Did you know a man, a bit shorter than me, with curly brown hair? It did these ringlet things in front. He was a bit shorter than me.

[As he said the word 'ringlet', Storm twirled his fingers near his head, in an approximation of the hair.]

That... seems... [Fred rubs her nose in frustration] I'm sorry, that seems familiar in a very vague way, but I don't know who you're talking about.

[She shakes her head] This is the most confusing thing that's happened to me so far, and I've only been here a day!

[Storm frowned for a moment, wondering whether to tell Fred about his memory or not.]

It's me. I got one of my memories back. It turns out that apparently I looked like someone completely different before I looked like this. The different-me had curly brown hair, just below shoulder length. I was in a hospital.

[He sighed, looking at Fred.] You're right. This is confusing. Hopefully it'll be explained though. I mean...we can't not know forever.

You... looked like someone different? That's... [Fred almost said 'That's silly,' but she stopped when she realized that she wasn't sure it was.] Well, how in the name of... of goodness does that work?

[After a moment of silence, she sighed.] So, we can get our memories back. How long have you been here, Storm?

I don't know. [Storm admitted, frowning. It was something that was bothering him for a while also.]

I've been here for about two months now. I've been getting deja vu a lot, but this is the first memory I've had.

[Fred ran one hand through her hair.] Right. Well. I suppose we can't find out things too quickly, it might damage our delicate little amnesiac brains. [Her tone was bitingly sarcastic; it wasn't directed at Storm, but whoever had trapped them here.]

[She smiled at him. It was only slightly forced.] Two months? In that case you must know Edensphere rather well. Fancy giving me the grand tour?

[Storm grinned at the sarcasm and lightly tapped the side of his head.] Oh, I think that my delicate little amnesiac brain can handle more memories.

[At her question, Storm nods.] I'd say I know it fairly well. It's not my second home or anything, but I'm getting the feel of it. [He smiles.] Where do you want to go first?

[She nods.]

[Fred takes a moment to think about her options.] The man who greeted me, Sky, said something about a Wilderness section. I wanted to ask him a question about that, but... well, I asked a strange question, and then forgot to ask about the Wilderness. But he said I should not go there alone, and it sounds interesting. [She raises her eyebrows at Storm.]

Well let's go then! [Storm says, grinning.] The Wilderness is this way. It changes from time to time-honestly, I don't know what it is now.

[Fred gives Storm an answering smile.] It changes? Fascinating, Sky didn't mention that.

Well, as long as we're trapped here, at least this place keeps giving us new things to explore.

It does! A while ago it was this place called Hollywood-lovely place. Recently it was a giant gymnasium. [He is very happy about all this.]

You're right. I'd hate it if it was just the Sphere here.

About how often does it change, do you know? [Fred is gathering data on her new home.]

You seem to thrive on these sort of chaotic events. Do you think you spent a lot of time in a place like Edensphere in your former life? [And on Storm, it would seem.]

[Pause, while Storm thinks.] I don't know. Once or twice a month perhaps?

I'd like to think so. After all, everything here on Edensphere just comes natural to me.

Interesting. Has anyone ever seen the change happen, that you know of? [And the information gathering continues!]

[She nods thoughtfully, filing away any and all information about this strange-familiar man.] How do we get to the Wilderness? It is on the level below this one, correct?

[Storm shakes his head.] It must happen while we're all asleep.

You take the elevator! It can go straight to the Wilderness. It's in the tree. Come on, I'll take you there now. [Taking Fred's hand, Storm starts to run.]

I see.

Alright then. [Fred smiles as he grabs her hand and begins running, lengthening her strides to match his. This feels good, it feels... this feels right.]

I've missed this... [She hadn't known what she was going to say before she said it, but she knew it was true the second she heard the words. For whatever reason, she had missed running.]

[Storm smiles too, enjoying the running. Indeed, it's starting to feel natural for him.]

Me too. [He said, again without thinking.] Perhaps we should do this more often.

[Fred laughs] That sounds wonderful! Someone said I would have to get a job here; I'll have to see if I can't find one that involves running in some manner.

It doesn't involve running that much, but I recommend being a Scavenger. It's fun! You get to dig through all this junk to try and find working things. It's fun.

That sounds quite interesting, actually. I'll have to look into that. [They reached the lift, just as the doors were opening. Fred slowed to a walk and went inside.] It's the third floor, correct?

I believe so. [Grinning at Fred, Storm walked inside and pressed the 'third floor' button.] And off we go.
