The Grand Opening

[driftingmods]

[A large WELCOME sign is hanging from the buildings when you walk into Levanta Town, but that seems to be the only sign that today is any different than any other day. The villagers are simply going about their daily business. However, if they are approached they are more than happy to explain the region as well as they can to any new arrivals.

Welcome to Levanta Town in The Drifting Land!]

Whoa, hey, are you alright?

[Archie's well-acquainted with memory loss. A lot of the events on Awesome Island are very blurry and he can't quite remember them. He's pretty sure that was a memory resurfacing and then maybe being repressed...?]

An' you're sure? You don't remember anythin' about the island? Do you remember Sharpo?

[He nods at the Sharpedo, who screeches happily.]

Hm... [ She pauses for a moment to reflect, absentmindedly petting Sharpo. ] ...I'm fine. Nothing's wrong. Really. [ Rosetta forces a small reassuring smile, after all, she shouldn't make a stranger she just met worry.]

I don't know any Awesome Island, or have any memories of it either. [ She looks down and tugs one of her pigtails. ]

[Archie frowns; there's more to this than she's telling. He could just leave it alone - and maybe he would have if he didn't know her so well. But the fact is that he does know her very well. He finally kneels to her height.]

Hey, you can trust me, Rosetta. Look, you might not remember me now, but I'm sure you will soon. We were pretty good friends on Awesome Island. You can trust me, I promise.

[ She's a little surprised when Archie kneels to her level, and stares at him briefly before shifting her gaze back down, as if not wanting to see the look on his face. ]

Well, a couple months ago, I woke up in the middle of nowhere, with basically no memories—just a few personal detail, like my name. A lot of things have happened since then... but I still haven't gotten back my memories. That's it really, nothing more, nothing less.
