[ The camera focuses on the ground for a second before Homura adjusts it to focus on her face. She looks blankly into it before a bit of curiosity edges its way into her expression. Her voice is quiet but audible. ]

I don't know anything. ... all I can do is believe what I am told.

How did I get here?

What really is this place?

Who am I?

I have a lot of questions with no answers. All I can do is listen to what these people tell me, and believe.

I think that my name is Homura. It is a pleasure to meet you all. I am new here. [ She bows deeply. ] ... I don't know where I learned to bow, how to speak, or where this name comes from. I simply know it, perhaps as well as I know how to breathe. It's a peculiar thing, but I have no choice but to accept it. It feels like the truth.

... I have a few questions for anyone listening. For anyone who has the time to answer.

Who are you?

Do you have any theories on what this place is?

And... do you want to remember?

[Shirou just tries to take all of that in at first. Then he speaks.]

Uh, my name is Shirou, and I only just got here myself.

...And yeah, I want to get my memories back. Isn't that how anyone would feel?

[futureoriented.livejournal.com]

Good evening, Shirou.

I am not entirely sure of that. What if the memories were terrible?

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

If they were terrible? Like how?

[futureoriented.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. [ She can't even begin to imagine hardship. She hasn't experienced it, as far as she knows. ] But there's probably things worse than this, right...?

[dadreaper.livejournal.com]

[Wow Kotetsu wasn't kidding. There are a lot of children here.]

It helps that you're not alone. We'll all find our answers together.

[futureoriented.livejournal.com]

... [ She's silent for a moment. "Alone"... ]

It's... reassuring. To know that none of us are the only ones who don't remember. ...We're together.

I want to know exactly why none of us remember. You've been here longer, do you have any theories? Any ideas?

[dadreaper.livejournal.com]

Not a clue!

I'm Isshin, by the way.

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Haha, I knew this would work!

[There's a brief pause as the camera gets readjusted to show her face as well.]

Homura! Homie? No, just Homura. Anyway, I'm Catherine. From the looks of things, it looks like a pre-War city, but there's gotta be more to it than that.

And... yes and no.

[futureoriented.livejournal.com]

Good evening, Catherine.

[ She tilts her head a tiny bit, curious. ]

I don't know what pre-War means. ... What is it? And... why yes? Why no? If you don't mind my asking.

Augh stupid no notifs

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Pre-War? That's... before the bombs dropped. At least where I'm from. I don't think everyone's from the same place initially.

Heh... that's a bit of a story. Don't mind telling it, just want to make sure you want to hear it.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Hiyas Homura! I'm Tsuruya! Dunno what this place is, but I'm sure we'll find answers soon enough I like lettin' other people try to uncover that stuff myself. I'm just enjoyin' things as they come, you know?

Eh? Do I wanna remember? Well, I mean, I ain't in a rush, but I still wanna remember stuff. Why do you ask?

[futureoriented.livejournal.com]

It's good to meet you, Tsuruya.

That's one way to handle things-- I guess I want answers. I don't like to take it as it comes. ... once I've got my bearings straight, I'll be searching.

I don't know why I ask. ... I'm just curious.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Well, I'm sure you gots reasons to ask, even if you don't remembers what they are. Don't worry; just take it easy! There's plenty 'a stuff to do around here in the meantime!

Hey, can I call you Homunyan?

[moesmar.livejournal.com]

Hello, Homura! My name is Lyon; it's nice to meet you.

I don't think anyone really knows exactly what this place is yet. But, yes, I'd like to remember. Not having any memories before... this is kind of unsettling, I think.

[futureoriented.livejournal.com]

Good evening, Lyon.

Yeah. It is unsettling; it's why I want to remember as much as I can as quickly as possible.

huffhuff sorry for the delay!!

[moesmar.livejournal.com]

I've already started to remember some things -- not a whole lot, but it's definitely a start! So I don't think getting our memories won't be too hard, at least.

My name is Rin, but I don't think that's who I am. Every time I introduce myself in such a way, it feels foreign. More than anything else here. I don't know what this place is. Maybe it's Hell and I've done something to land up here.

... I don't want to remember anything. The more I do, the more confused I'll get. [ And that's that. ]

audio;

[futureoriented.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I can understand feeling that way-- even though this name feels okay to me, even though I want to remember.

Perhaps you should find a name you like better.

audio;

[gandere]

How do you just find a name? Pick up a book, flip through it, and decide that's the name you want?

[hystaria.livejournal.com]

Saleh.

Dear Homura, do you want to remember?

[futureoriented.livejournal.com]

I do. I don't like this empty space. It's ugly; I want to get rid of it.

Is Saleh your name? It is a pleasure to meet you.

[hystaria.livejournal.com]

It is. It's a pleasure, dear Homura.

Though I'm curious. If the memories that are returned to you prove ugly themselves, would you want to be rid of those as well?

[manjuumagic.livejournal.com]

Mokona wants to remember!

Mokona's sure to have lots and lots of fun memories!

[futureoriented.livejournal.com]

You're optimistic; that's good.

[manjuumagic.livejournal.com]

Optimism is one of Mokona's charm points!
