[ so very dictated, this time without wounds to her pride. ]

It's difficult to imagine that something so beautiful can be capable of something like removing us from our homes and making us suffer losses. The only reassurance I have is that I am not the only one from home here and even then I am not sure I should be thankful for that.

[ The journal picks up the sound of grass crunching under feet as she continues; ]

It would seem I owe some of you an apology. I was told that I have been here before but, no matter how hard I try, I cannot remember anything. I know that it is entirely out of my own hands but, if we were acquainted before, I apologize for not remembering you. With that said, I suppose an introduction is in order. Or, well, a reintroduction.

My name is Elena, of Gawant.

[ scribble, scribble. someone is trying this filtering thing out since all of the cool kids seems to be doing it. ]

Arthur and Gwaine,

It is Elena. Are you both able to read my writing? Someone told me that, should I only want to talk to a single person, I could try this. This is.. quite an interesting castle, isn't it? Once I am settled I was hoping to spend more time in the kitchen, but I also wanted to visit the town.

It's almost refreshing being here now, though I am sure my opinion may change in the future. For now, it is nice not having to worry about duty and obligation.

It would seem so, though I don't like the idea of having my memories taken away.

[whichwayyoulean]

I don't think anyone would like that. It's weird, someone else I know here left but got her memories back.

I wonder what decides who keeps their memories and who doesn't. It's like some sort of popularity contest.

[clumsiness]

I've never been fond of those.

Maybe it's just a game of chance -- some get them back and others do not. It seems to be a rare occurrence.

[whichwayyoulean]

There has to be more to it than chance, though. It can't just be...random. [Things have to make sense and fit in their little boxes :|]

[clumsiness]

If we are here long enough, maybe, we might find out what the answer is.

[whichwayyoulean]

That or go crazy with the mystery of it all.

[clumsiness]

I would rather remain sane.

[whichwayyoulean]

Wouldn't everyone? The only people who wouldn't are... well people who are already crazy.

[clumsiness]

You are probably right, though I often wonder..

I don't know what to expect from the other residents of this castle.

[whichwayyoulean]

I think it's a good idea to expect pretty much anything, then you're less surprised when the weirdest things happen

[clumsiness]

Someone from home gave me similar advice.

If I may, what is the strangest thing that has happened to you since you arrived?

[whichwayyoulean]

Being kidnapped by a guy in a time machine was pretty high on the strange-o-meter.

[clumsiness]

A time what?

[ oh, yeah, totally overlooking the kidnapped bit -- for now. ]

[whichwayyoulean]

A time machine. It kind of looks like a phone box. But it travels in time.

[clumsiness]

And a phone box is.. ?

[ what are these weird gizmo's you speak of? ]

[whichwayyoulean]

It's a box with a phone in it. Here, lemmie show you.

[And he'll just doodle a little picture of the TARDIS, isn't it cool?]

[clumsiness]

[ ah-ha! visual representation for the win, but it means jack to her in the end. ]

These phones are.. used often?

[whichwayyoulean]

[He tried]

Sure. Not always those kinds, but they're really useful.

[clumsiness]

For communication?

[ she is so winging it here ]

[whichwayyoulean]

Yeah, you can talk to people even if they're way on the other side of the world.

[clumsiness]

It seems there is a lot I still have to learn about the future.

[whichwayyoulean]

You're in the perfect place to do that.

i feel so bad for all my slow tags ;; SOB but I didn't want to drop them all

[clumsiness]

I could not agree with you more! I wonder, Once-ler, if I might request another favor.

While I am certain I can find my way around the castle, I don't believe it will be nearly as simple to navigate something as vast as the future. I would not even know where to begin..

NEVER FEEL BAD WE COOL <33

[whichwayyoulean]

...Oh.

Well. I don't really know my way around the castle all that well. I kind of just stay in my room.
