001 : Very lost

[handsforhealing]

[a confused Winry can be seen standing in the woods somewhere]
That's funny.
I could swear I was just...
...uh...
huh. I don't know what I was doing... But I'm pretty sure I wasn't here before... Did I get lost?
...
More than lost...
I can't even remember where I am... I know my name... My first one, at least... Not much else...
That could be a problem.
Um... Is there anyone here that can give me directions? Or at least tell me what this place is called? Maybe that'll jog my memory...
I really hope it's no trouble that I've forgotten so much... I hope the people here can help...

Huh? Uh, hey. You new here?

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm new.
Do you know where I can get a map?

[future-defender.livejournal.com]

...A map? I don't think there are any yet. But unless you want to head out into the wilderness, a map isn't really necessary.

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

Well, I was hoping to use one to get home...
Any clue how I can get back?

[future-defender.livejournal.com]

...I hate to tell you this, but...at this point, everyone is stuck here with no method of escape. Some people have even been around for nearly two years and haven't gotten out of here yet.

I see... So I won't be getting home anytime soon... Not that I remember it anyways...

2/2

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

No problem! I'll just have to work hard to find a way home!

Hmm... If it's no trouble, could you direct me to a place where I can stay for a bit?

[future-defender.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure. There's a big apartment building in town where almost everyone stays. In fact, your name is probably already on the room list.

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

I see...
Thank you! You've been a huge help!

Oh. My name is Winry. What's yours?

[future-defender.livejournal.com]

Trunks. Nice to meet you.

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

You too.
I hope to see you again!

[future-defender.livejournal.com]

Yeah, same here. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

[forever-static.livejournal.com]

Ah, the Spirals. They just keep coming and going…

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

... What do you mean? Spirals?

[forever-static.livejournal.com]

Never mind, it's nothing you need to concern yourself with.

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

You're the one that brought it up...
Okay...
My name is Winry. You?

[forever-static.livejournal.com]

The Anti-Spiral. Pleased to meet you, I suppose.

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

Pleased to meet you too, "The Anti-Spiral".

I take it you live around here...?

[forever-static.livejournal.com]

Just Anti-Spiral will do.

I've been living here for a few months, yes.

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

All right then. Anti-Spiral it is.

I see. Do you think you could point me in the direction of a place to stay? It sounds like I'll be here for a while.

[forever-static.livejournal.com]

Yes, you will be here a while--unless you disappear.

Hmm… I might as well show you the way to the apartments.

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

Disappear...?

Ah! Thank you very much! Are the apartments expensive?

[forever-static.livejournal.com]

Yes, people randomly disappear here on the island just as often as people like you randomly appear. No one knows where they end up.

The apartments are without cost.

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

I see... That sounds a bit scary...

But that's great! The apartments, that is. Thanks for all of your help...

[forever-static.livejournal.com]

As you say.
