[This video starts up in a tree; there are a couple branches in the way and some ridiculously pale person with blond J-pop hair pacing around in a circle. He does this for a moment before squinting up at the camera.]

...what are you?

[He disappears from view, then the camera shakes violently following a dull THUD.]

Ow. That hurt.

[There's another thud and the camera shakes again before the journal topples out of the tree and onto the ground. It doesn't stay there for long; it's lifted and shaken out, and Cloud's face is captured for a moment until the camera settles on his chin instead.]

...when did I buy this thing? [And the book snaps shut.]

[Oh, huh. A familiar voice. But the voices are pretty much always familiar, she's been here so long. But then she listens a little more closely and actually bothers to look at the journal and--holy hell in a handbasket, Cloud.]

If you really did buy it then someone totally swindled you. Rip-off city.

[FFFFF

It takes Cloud a second to figure out that the voice isn't coming from someone nearby or his phone -which he does not have, that's right- and check the book.]

...are you talking to me?

[Voice]

[herotypical]

[And when he does check the book he is greeted with a smiling Buffy Summers. Not that he knows that. Not yet. So for now there's just a perkyesque young woman getting her smile on.]

I hope so. I find it's generally better than talking at you. [Which is much more the status quo.]

[Wait ... wasn't that--?

... Hrm. He's ... not doing the usual "wait is this luceti am i back here" that comes with people who return and remember everything. Does that mean he ...

... Damn, that sucks. Or maybe it didn't hit him just yet? Well, there's multiple ways to figure this one out, but Yuri will go for the way he knows best.]

What's wrong? Never seen a book before?

[Figuring out how to work this thing is only SLIGHTLY less difficult than driving a submarine, and 100% less traumatic. Hey there Yuri.]

Not one that talks, no.

[trueknight]

[... Definitely doesn't remember. ... Well, maybe that's for the best anyway.

... Maybe he can have a little fun with this, too. Hmm.]

No? ... Huh. Guess that means you're new here. [... In the sense that This Cloud is new here, at least.]

Well then, welcome to Luceti, Cloud. Get used to the place, 'cause you're gonna be here for a while.

It's not really that simple.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Cloud is unfortunately finding that out.]

What's going on? Who are all of you?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

I say its not simple and yet you respond with broad questions.

[... wait a minute, is he still hallucinating things?]

C-Cloud?

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[WHY do these people know his name 8| ]

That's me. Who're you?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I'm Emil. You don't... you don't remember me?

[pathtoseele.livejournal.com]

It came here with you...

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure it didn't. I don't remember getting this.

Have you looked at your back yet?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[Selphie clicks on her video feed and winces before calling out to the blond.]

You okay, Cloud?

[Video]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Asgkjsd another person who knows him.]

I'm...probably fine.

Who're you?

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

You didn't buy anything.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess not.

So what, these are freebies? They take your clothes and all your crap and you get this thing?

[voice]

[a-honeysuckle.livejournal.com]

It's a camera, apparently~

[voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Yeah...seeing that. [Stupid book.]

How is this even recording? It's paper.

[couldhavedanced.livejournal.com]

[Oh, she knows that voice! She remembers it, it was the first one she heard herself.]

Did you find something, Cloud?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

This book.

...um, I'm sorry. I don't remember you.

[Voice]

[perplexme]

[...huh. Sup Cloud.]

Buying it would mean actually having Munny. Nothing here requires it so we don't have it. So really, I guess you didn't buy anything.

You seem surprised.

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Yo.]

Yeah I'm surprised. I woke up in a forest without my clothes or my stuff.
