( WELCOME BACK, TRAVELERS. )

There's nothing but the clatter of train tracks, and the odd feeling of almost floating.

When you wake, it's hard to tell exactly what it is that you're missing - only that you are. There are pieces that aren't quite right, even if you're not sure where those pieces would normally be. Pieces of what, exactly....? Well, if you had to put a word to it, it would be - yourself, probably. Or did you get something back recently?

The place you've found yourself in is strange, certainly. It's probably worth exploring a bit. Though it just as easily seems that the only form of welcome or explanation that you have, comes from nothing more than a slab of marble. It might've changed since the last time you saw it.

You might have changed since the last time you saw yourself too - perhaps with a new emblem on your clothes, or a portrait on your skin.

There's no need to fret that much though. You've already gone through the ordeal once, and you might be able to see results from it. Even so, it's best that you don't get too comfortable, because there is still the unshakeable feeling:

There's still much more ahead of you.

My team.

[ she taps her chin. ]

The mystery deepens.

[quickpersuader]

Team as in... friends? Coworkers?

[twitter]

Both!

[ her coworkers are her friends. ]

[quickpersuader]

So you work with your friends... Is there any chance they could be here, too?

[twitter]

Hm... possibly.

[ if she's here then they definitely could be ]

[quickpersuader]

Are you going to look for them?

[twitter]

Yup, yup!

Is there anyone you're looking for, too?

[quickpersuader]

Well... just one. A motorrad who answers to the name Hermes.

[twitter]

Ohhh, what a neat name!

What does Hermes look like?

[ HOW SICK IS THIS RIDE ]

[quickpersuader]

[By now there's been a couple people confused, so:]

If you know what a bicycle is, he looks a little like that, except with an engine and exhaust pipes and larger tires. There's a star on both sides above his front tire, and a single light facing forward above that. He has a seat and a storage rack over his rear wheel.

[twitter]

I see...

[ she's trying to mentally picture all of this

but she nods. ]

I will do my best to find him.

[quickpersuader]

Thank you. If you'd like, I can keep an eye out for your friends as well.

[twitter]

Thank you!

Ah, I'm Hajime.

[quickpersuader]

It's nice to meet you, Hajime. Unfortunately I don't have a name I can give you in return.

[twitter]

Eh? No name?

[ explain ]

[quickpersuader]

I can't remember it.

[twitter]

Is that something normal for you, or is it something new?

[quickpersuader]

It's new. I really liked my name. But now I can't remember it no matter how hard I try.

[twitter]

Oh... hm....

I'll give your a nickname then.

[quickpersuader]

Like what?

[twitter]

Like what... like what...

[ she's thinking... and slowly spinning in place as she thinks... ]

What's an animal you really like? Or fruit? Color?

[quickpersuader]

Hmm...

[Thinking this over!]

It's hard to choose... there's so many interesting ones.

[twitter]

Well, you don't have to choose right away! Sitting on it is fine.

[quickpersuader]

[Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.]

Green like the forest... or blue like the sky... except the sky isn't always blue.

[twitter]

I'm going to call you Midorin then!

[ CUTE..... green.... ]
