Prologue

 -- cannot be forgiven, D -- ! . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . Ah.

Huh.  This is . . . interesting.  I suppose it could be worse.  Amnesia in the middle of a volcano.  Or the ocean.  Somehow, I’m just not really all that surprised.  I've definitely done something like this to myself before.  But never mind.  That's not the issue right now – First step is finding out just where I am.  This book in my hand -- maybe it can tell me something.  . . . Too dark to read, though.  So!  Guess my only option is to start walking.  I'll need to get out of these woods somehow, after all.

Ah-hem.  *cough*

Left foot forward.  Right foot forward.  Step.  Step.  Step. 

And again.  Again. 

Again . . . . .

. . .

. . .

Hey.  Look here.  I'm not narrating everything I'm doing for the fun of it.  That’s for people who’ve totally lost their minds, and all that's missing from this brilliant piece of work are the memories.  This thing is obviously a communication device.  Now is someone going to respond anytime soon or am I going to have to sleep out here tonight?  If it’s the latter, you'd better hurry on up and say something so I can start making a shelter out of leaves and . . . barks . . . and things.  I’m an expert in outdoor survival, you know!

Ooo! [book sense goes off, eyes light up at the sight of his books, tries to catch a glimpse of the title before realizing she's being rude]

Ooops, sorry, that wasn't nice of me. ^.^*

Are you new here too? You look disoriented.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Hmm? Just a bit. Actually, I would much appreciate it if you could point me in the direction of the library.

[deathly-origami.livejournal.com]

Oh, certainly, not a problem! The library here is absolutely wonderful! I can escort you if you like!

Ah, I'm sorry. I'm Yomiko! Nice to meet you!

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Ahh . . . That sounds very promising!

My name is Klarth. It is good to meet you as well, Miss Yomiko.

[deathly-origami.livejournal.com]

Oh, you can just call me Yomiko. Miss seems a bit too formal for me. I'll be happy to help you find your way. The people here were very nice to me when I suddenly showed up!

[unable to restrain herself] What's the book you've got there?

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Hmm. A very good question. The title appears to be . . . 'Opuscule'.

There are a few others, as well, if you'd like to take a look, Yomiko.

[deathly-origami.livejournal.com]

'Opuscule'? Hmm... that's not a word I'm familiar with.

...Intriguing!

Thank you for your kind offer, I would love have a look! I love books! ^_^ Heh, that's the only thing I seem to know about myself now! But I've been assured that everyone's memories come back with time. Has anyone explained Memento Eden to you yet?

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Hmm . . . Is that the name of this place?

I understand that most of the inhabitants suffer from memory loss, though the memories slowly return over time. Is that about the gist of it?

[deathly-origami.livejournal.com]

Yes, as I understand it. For more details though, you should consult someone who has been here longer than I. Erk explained the majority of everything to me, you should seek her out! She works in the library!

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Hmm . . . I'll take that into consideration. Thanks again, Yomiko.

((I've actually sort of kinda continued this in the library log if you'd like to post there. No pressure, though.))
