01 - Arrival on the farm

[broken_horns]

This place sure is strange... I woke up a few days ago in a place I don't recognize. I guess a couple running a farm took me in when one of their farmhands found me in their field... I don't remember how I ended up there though. They told me that's how it is for everyone.

Sounds a little off to me... People just suddenly appear here with total amnesia? ... But I don't have much else to go on and they've taken care of me so I believe them. They've been very kind and understanding with me.

I've noticed a few things since waking up though. I'm a little different than the people I've seen here so far (which is just the couple really)... My ears for one thing are different. And I have fangs and sharper nails that seem to grow out that way naturally. Dunno what that all means yet, but they tell me that some people eventually gain memories back over time. Until then, all I know is a name. My name I guess - Chrono.

In any case, today I'm heading into the town proper nearby because they tell me all new people have a free place to stay there and I don't want to impose more than I already have. Plus, they said the man who found me lives in town and I'd really like to thank him in person. They told me he came to check on me before I woke up even too. So, ah, Mr. Cloud? Hopefully I can find you once I arrive.

Guess it's time to say thank you, goodbye and head out to the Ari Apartments, my new home from today on...

I'm Cloud. I'm... glad you're up and about. If you don't mind, I'd like to come and see you tonight, there's someone I want to introduce to you.

If you ever need anything, kid, just send me a line.

[broken-horns.livejournal.com]

Oh it's you! Thanks. For helping me out and checking on me even. If there's something I can do to return the favor, just ask. I don't know how long I would have been out there if you hadn't found me.

You want to introduce someone to me? Uh, okay, I don't see anything wrong with that. According to this list at the apartments I found, I should be on the top floor in 601. Hopefully I'll meet my roommate when I get up there too.

I guess I'll see you tonight then.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Cloud.

[makobright.livejournal.com]

No, it's fine. I'm just -- thankful that you're back to normal.

Your roommate doesn't seem like a bad guy. Good luck.

Yeah. I noticed your ears: there's another kid here with similar ears. Maybe you're from the same world. It's easier, knowing that there are people here from the same place as you. Makes the loss of memories a little easier to bear.

You can drop the "Mr.". Just Cloud will do.

[broken-horns.livejournal.com]

Just Cloud, huh? I think I can do that.

Someone with ears like mine.... I see. Probably should meet him then, thanks.

There's lots of guys here who are weird. We all come from different worlds.

[broken-horns.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, I didn't say I thought I was weird >.>;;

You pretty much just did though ^^;;

So no one who wakes up here without memories is actually from here? Whoever brought us all here sure went to a lot of trouble...

Does anyone know why they ended up here?

[ramenese.livejournal.com]

Eh? But you have weird ears and stuff.

I don't think so. There are people from here, but I think they have all their memories ... I guess. I didn't ask.

No, we're still trying to figure that out!

[broken-horns.livejournal.com]

Well, that doesn't make me weird, just different! Besides, Cloud told me there is someone else with ears like mine around here... >.>;

Huh... so no one even knows why we are brought here and have no memories?

...how do we know that we aren't all just dead or something?

[ramenese.livejournal.com]

Maybe they're from your world!

I don't think so. If anyone does and they're not telling everybody then I'll kick their ass!!

Eeehh??? I'm alive! I'm not a ghost or anything!

[broken-horns.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, I guess that's true. A ghost wouldn't be so loud. XD

So, my name's Chrono. What's yours? ^.^

[ramenese.livejournal.com]

Eh? >(

I'm Naruto. I'm the boss around here! Don't forget it!

[son-of-sigurd.livejournal.com]

Ah, so, you're new here, then? Well, uh, welcome to Memento Eden. My name is Celice Baldos Chalphy.

[broken-horns.livejournal.com]

I guess I am. It's uh, nice to meet you... is just Celice okay? The name's Chrono.

[son-of-sigurd.livejournal.com]

Yes, just Celice is fine. Nice to meet you too, Chrono.

[broken-horns.livejournal.com]

The boss? Hmmmmmm....

Sure, like I believe that XD

Well, it's nice to meet you, Naruto. Maybe you could help me with something then, since you're in charge and all, huh?

[broken-horns.livejournal.com]

Are new people pretty common then? People don't seem all that surprised with my showing up, so I can only assume I'm not all that strange an occurance.

[son-of-sigurd.livejournal.com]

Yes. Almost everyone arrived here suddenly, without memories of anything but their first names. The only people who didn't arrive in such a fashion were those born here already.

[broken-horns.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I heard, but it happens pretty often then? Is this the only town on the island? I mean, I'm surprised it's not a lot more crowded if that's the case...

[son-of-sigurd.livejournal.com]

As far as we know, yes, this is the sole town. And it's not more crowded than it is because people sometimes up and disappear. We still haven't figured out how or why that happens, though it's extremely rare.

[broken-horns.livejournal.com]

! People just vanish randomly too? And no one knows where they are? That's a little more alarming... But at least it's rarer... Geez.

[ramenese.livejournal.com]

Hehehe. ^_^

What do you need to know? I know a lot!

[son-of-sigurd.livejournal.com]

Most people believe that they are sent back to the worlds from which they originally came, myself included. Aside from that, though, we're stuck here until we regain all of our memories. I've been here a month, myself, and it's a nice place.

[broken-horns.livejournal.com]

Oh... that's a good way to look at it... Hopefully they do make it home somehow... and remember stuff. Otherwise that'd be a little weird for them, but still!

A month? Have you started to remember things then?

[broken-horns.livejournal.com]

What would you recommend doing around here? Since I don't think just sitting around waiting for something to happen is very productive.

[son-of-sigurd.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have, though not until recently. We seemingly get memories back at absolutely random times. I've heard stories of people who have been here multiple months without regaining any memories at all.
