CH1: Arrival

  I feel confused, something is wrong... I don't remember who I am but it is strange.

  I can see things, but it doesn't feel like sight to me, I can tell I am the rock in my field of view, but I don't feel like I used to be a rock, and sight shouldn't be from a third perspective...

  Quiet, I am busy.

  What I am busy with isn't your buisness, but since you've insisted I'll have your know that gathering your bearings is very important buisness.

  Yes it is most certainly a way to treat a godess, are you slow?

  I was showing concern for your well being, how am I the bad guy?

  It is a little witty, and I am showing you some respect and considerations, just not as much as you would like.

  And there it is folks! The threat, gods always laking about their grace and kindness, while punishing those who don't fall in line. They claim to give your free will and then get all pissed off when you use it in ways they don't approve of. Here you go, have some free will, but don't use it and listen to me or you will have terrible suffering. Well guess what? I would rather face the consequences of my mistakes than be coddeled and complacent! So fuck off, I AM BUSY!

  Maybe I just carelessly threw out an opportunity, but something deep inside of me despises the very concept of working for a god, and right now? It doesn't feel like this is something I will regret.

  As long as I side with you or sell my soul or something? Pass.

  I don't trust you, I still don't know what or where I am or was, but I don't even trust other people enough to give me information yet until I confirm some things myself, so go away, I am busy.

  Enough of the sales pitching, fuck off or be stuck with this in your head.

  I know a song that gets on EVERYBODIES nerves...

  EVERYBODIES nerves...

  EVERYBODIES NERVES!

  I know a song that gets on EVERYBODIES NERVES!

  AND THIS IS HOW IT GOES!

  BUM BUM BUM

  It took a full day of monotonous repitition, but it most certainly worked.

  It is about time that I finally assess my situation. I was offered to cooperate with 2 powerful orginizations, both of which I refuted in a way that may have left a bit of a bad impression. I am a rock, I don't know how I am aware of this, but I am. My memory is cloudy, there is alot I cannot remember, I don't know who I was but I know that I am me and that simply knowing I am me brings some kind of great reassurence that is difficult to explain. It's like simply being myself is enough that all other concerns and problems become secondary and are less concerning. The memory issue is important but not an urgent problem.

  What I can see is the room I am in and a tunnel. The room is round with me at the center and suspiciously smooth. I can see sunlight outside the tunnel, but all I see are some plants and can only adjust my field of view within the room. Vision shouldn't be my only sense, i feel something similar to touch, but it is alien in a way, just... off somehow. As I focus on myself with this feeling...

  I have a name, the listed N/A is so infuriating, I know how wrong it is, but to not know the right way to correct it. I could simply pick a name to fill it in, but that feels so much worse, to give up on who I am, not was, AM. No, now isn't the time to get sidetracked by this. I need defences of some kind, traps or monsters should be a priority.

  That doesn't bode well.... what about traps?

  I make a pitfall, and it is just a uncovered hole in the room, it might be useful when combined with something else, but on its own it seems rather useless. When I try to open the floor and room layout, it is different. There is no screen with instructions, I can just feel the way I want to expand my territory and it does, but it costs mana quickly so I stop after spending 0.2 MP for a tiny increase in size. I try to restructure the room to add a slope or put spikes in the hole, but to no avail.

  So here I am, a rock in a room with a hole in the ground, progress is progress no matter how small.

  I am so going to die.
