Nutty times around here, huh? It's nice to see things happening, even if it's stuff like "spaceship crashing into building you call home, inevitable relocation into a room with three other people." There are worse things.

[Grump grump. She just sounds dry. It's a little overcrowded here for a girl who likes her privacy, but whatcha gonna do...]

And now a trip home. Or a try for it. What good news for everyone who doesn't want to be here, maybe - if it works they could as well just install a revolving door and kick the people who won't have with fighting in a surprise war right back home. It could make life pretty difficult for the Initiative if it works out, if nobody'll stick around from the goodness of their hearts, or whatever.

It's the first time I've seen a place manage that though. So that's something.

Anyhow, welcome in to all you new people, I hope the Hold has been kind so far. If you're homesick cheer up, it could be so much more terrible around these parts. The group missions aren't so bad. You got armed and you got money and maybe you won't even be here a long time. The future looks bright, right?

I've lost my memories. Before I came here, I was trying to get them back.

[payback]

I'm very sorry but I don't think I can help. Is anyone else from your world here?

[incardescent]

Yes, one of my memories. [Seriously.]

[payback]

Er. I thought you didn't remember anything?

[incardescent]

I don't. My memories are locked inside the 99 Numbers. One of those Numbers is different from the rest and he's came along with me.

[payback]

That must be helpful, then. Did he tell you a lot?

[incardescent]

No. He's actually not very helpful at all. He just laughs at me a lot.

[payback]

Oh... that's really unfortunate.

Do you know why?

[incardescent]

There are a lot of reasons. One reason is because we disagree on what I should do and he has always laughed at me. He laughs at everything. Even things I don't think are very funny.

[payback]

What does he think you should do?

[incardescent]

Destroy the world. I don't think I want to do that. [He thinks anyway.]

[payback]

... Well, I'm glad about that. I don't think you should destroy the world either.

Like, all of the worlds?

[incardescent]

I can't say which world for certain. Since he hasn't mentioned it in a while, I don't want to mention it now. He would probably just laugh at my question.

[payback]

He sounds like a very unpleasant person.

[incardescent]

I think our roommate would agree.

[payback]

Well how do you feel about it?

[incardescent]

What I feel? [He takes a moment, thinking about it.] It doesn't matter. He is an important part of my mission and I did make a deal with him shortly before arriving here. There isn't much to be done regardless of my feelings on the matter.

[payback]

Hmm... well, I guess if you aren't bothered [and aren't destroying the world] it's okay.
