[New handwriting today, and it's quite beautiful. Those who read the original Chinese characters might appreciate the skill behind the expert strokes: flawless calligraphy, itself poetry of sorts, yet not slow and cautious but decisive, the writing emerging complete and without hesitation. Those who get a translation miss out on some of the finer points of the art, perhaps, but the effect is the same in every language.]

Warmest greetings to the residents of Edensphere.

This humble servant, the lowest of souls, begs leave to dwell among you and hereby be known, in lieu of a more appropriate name, by the character ‘Huo'.

Although I do not yet know my own measure, and indeed expect that it be the very image of mediocrity, it is my outmost desire to be of some use in the undertakings of the city. I will take up whatever profession is required, and toil in that capacity to the very best of my ability.

Sincerely, I offer my prayers of good neighborhood in the hope that they be accepted in the same spirit in which they were made.

Hey there, Huo! I'm Krile.

There are a lot of useful things to do in Edensphere... taking a look at some of the jobs might help to figure out what feels "right" for you to do.

Thank you, Krile; your advice is highly appreciated. Is it common then to have a sense of one's calling, despite the loss of all memory?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it is. It's kind of a gut feeling--I knew I wanted to do something to protect people, for instance. You'll probably find something that feels right to you too.

How interesting; goals and desires subsist beyond the loss of self. That is comforting to know.
