[Filtered from Renge; not hackable by her]
I wonder if half of Memento Eden is feeling sorry for me right about now... Does anyone have anything positive to say about this girl? So far I've heard she's crazy, special, eccentric... and "entertaining". I'd like a female's point-of-view if possible... so far my warnings have come from men. I hope she appears soon or else I'm not sure how I'll react. I don't want to seem biased against her when we've never met before.

Today I wandered around town. The library is quite impressive; it looks to have information on just about everything. I am considering researching different things to see if I can discover one of my skills or hobbies. I guess learning more about combat is a start, since I had weapons with me when I appeared. I wonder what else I might be good at... Then again, I could be terrible with weapons even if I own them, I suppose. Any suggestions?

In the meantime I'll keep searching for a job.

Um, well, Renge is a little eccentric and she tends to do things without asking others, but... she's a very good friend to me. She always listens when I need advice. I think that most people are put off by the fact that she often tries to help people even if they don't want it, but that's part of what I like about her.

I hope that helps you. You seem to be new here, yes?

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Well, that definitely explains things better. Thank you.

I was beginning to get worried... [She admits this awkardly.]

I suppose it would make sense that men wouldn't want a girl trying to force "help" on them when they don't want it. It'd hurt their egos.

Yes, my name is Tear. I just arrived here a few days ago.

((I can't help thinking that this meeting would be a fanboy's dream since they are both very shapely ladies. *bricked*))

[chronoslip.livejournal.com]

[laughing a little] Yes, I suppose it would. She's given me very good advice with my relationship though, so I trust her.

My name is Mikuru Asahina. It's nice to meet you, Tear. Have you been settling in well?

[mokomanjuu.livejournal.com]

Renge is a very creative person with a good heart!

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Oh-!! How cute!
...I-I mean...

[Tear is blushing furiously because she has come into contact with yet another adorable mascot character. She wants to hug it.]

...it's nice to hear that Miss Renge has a good heart.

It's so adorable! What is it..?

[mokomanjuu.livejournal.com]

Mokona really is cute~

[Fangirl-Radar activated! Ping, ping~ Mokona hops onto Tear's shoulder.]

There are many people in this world who can also engage in magical combat. Perhaps looking in to something like that would benefit you as well?

I began researching cooking on the suggestion of others here. XD

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Magical combat? [Tear raises a hand to her chin in order to consider this. Surely if amnesia can be controlled in Memento Eden... wouldn't that be a kind of magic? Then other types of magic might also be possible. But is magic something you have to be born with the ability to perform.]

That sounds interesting, but I'm not sure if I'm capable of something like that. Wouldn't magic be something like a sixth sense, perhaps? I don't think I've done anything out of the ordinary.

[Then again, Tear wouldn't know, would she? She can only guess about these things.]

Oh, cooking? Might I ask how that turned out for you?

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

Hmm, magic power may be something inherent (though I cannot say that it would be the same for all magic users), however the means to control that power, spells and whatnot, may not be so ingrained as to be easily called on without memory. There are many other subjects in the library, so of course you should find one that you feel drawn to. It would benefit you to discover your "body memory," so physical subjects would be an excellent place to start.

Ahaha, I do not have much to report about cooking yet, as I am still researching and have not yet tried anything. I only just recently discovered that I could eat food, so hopefully I will be able to make some attempts soon.

[scoop-tengu.livejournal.com]

A good writer with a sharp eye for details.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Yes, I heard she has published her own magazine... "Moe Moe"-- something. Do you know where I could find a copy?

[scoop-tengu.livejournal.com]

Moe Moe Memento Eden. I'm not sure where she distributes from, but she'll probably show up on her own shortly.

[a-scented-blade.livejournal.com]

Renge is very lively and enthusiastic, and I'm sure she means well, but.... She has a very unique way of seeing things that not very many people agree with.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

((OOC: Our usernames kinda match. How neat. =D))

Yes, that's the general impression I've gotten of her so far. She seems to be a person who follows her own path.

[a-scented-blade.livejournal.com]

((Hahaha, that's true!))

Ah, yes, she follows her own path. Very, very loudly.

[leadsneverdie.livejournal.com]

I realize I'm not exactly your preferred point of view, but I don't see a problem with her. A little hyper at times, but nothing more .

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

It's not that your view point isn't wanted, or that a female view is preferred...

It's just that it was only men who were warning me about her, and I thought maybe Miss Renge just doesn't get along as well with members of the opposite gender.

I'm sorry if I offended you at all. It wasn't my intention to seem fickle.

In other words you find her a little different, but harmless?

[leadsneverdie.livejournal.com]

Nonsense, I wasn't offended at all. But you've come to the right conclusion, at least. Eccentric would be the proper word, in retrospect, but harmless.

Can't imagine why people would warn you.

[britishlionking.livejournal.com]

What kind of weapons? If a lance, I recommend trying your hand at horseback riding.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

No, not a lance.
Actually, I have three throwing knives and a staff.

Horseback riding sounds a bit difficult... especially in high heels...

[britishlionking.livejournal.com]

Fighting sounds difficult in high heels.

[magicbloomers.livejournal.com]

Renge?

Oh, she's the best! She publishes this magazine that always has great advice and all the juicy gossip! If there's anything you want to know about anyone here, I bet she knows!

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Is there really that much room for... "juicy gossip" in Memento Eden?

Ah, that might further explain why some people find her eccentric... I wonder if she asks permission to publish her stories about the other residents...

She sounds like a very observant and social person...

[prayfortomorrow.livejournal.com]

mii? Renge is very nice nano desu! She was going to be my manager! But Beauty Queen Etna is doing that now.

You should meet her~

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Oh, hello. [Smiles.]

Your manager? What sort of job do you hold here?
