Excuse me, can anyone tell me if they can read this? A quick note will be fine. There's no reason something I write down in my journal with normal ink and paper should show up in someone else's. I'm pretty sure it's scientifically impossible.

But I'm also sure that human beings don't normally hatch from giant cocoons, and if they did, they would hatch as babies. Except I did, and my brother River did, and Cara said everyone here does, so maybe 'impossible' is just something we haven't figured out the reason for yet.

So please let me know if you can read this! I don't think she was lying to me, but she might be misinformed, and anyway it's not good to just take someone's word for it when I can test the hypothesis myself.

Oh, my name is Rosalind.

I can read it, Rosalind! Oh, I'm Lucy!

You'll learn that nothing's impossible in Edensphere.

Amazing! Lucy, do you think that it's the paper or the ink that transmits our writing? Or maybe some kind of effect when the journals are bound together?

[Written off to the site—"Note: letters appear as each is written down."]

Do other impossible things happen here?

Hi, Rosalind! I'm Bridge! ^_^

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

Hi, Bridge! Do people learn to tell who is writing by their handwriting? I can see you use different ink than Lucy.

[lordofwater.livejournal.com]

I can read it, Rosalind. This is River.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

Of course you can, silly, you're sitting next to me. But you're right—I can see my handwriting appear in your journal as I write in mine.

Energy transfers through the journals as well, even though it shouldn't.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

What kind? Electrical, kinetic...? Have people experimented on them?

[steelobjections.livejournal.com]

Considering, I've seen stickers somehow show up through the journals when people put them on a page, I don't think anything impossible with them. I'm Steel by the way.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

I wonder if they were special stickers. That's even more interesting—after all, ink is a liquid, so it can spread, but if stickers show up on all our journals, that means they've been duplicated.

It's nice to meet you, Steel.

Hey, Rosalind! How are you and River settling in?

Alchemy is right, though. You do need to be careful about how you ask questions here.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

Is this Cara? We're doing all right. The other people in temporary housing are nice.

I didn't realize things were so sensitive. I'm not trying to pry into anyone's secrets, really.

Welcome to the Sphere, Rosalind.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Um, who are you?

[beat-da-button.livejournal.com]

Im-poss-i-ble's kinda normal here, man. Sucks.

Name's Skulls!

[[Impossible is written very slowly, like he's having to look it up as he writes it]]

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

I can't remember anything different, so I guess that's fun! Nice to meet you, Skulls.

[stonyfaced.livejournal.com]

You're pretty into all of this scientific stuff, eh? You might want to get used to things that seem impossible at first glance. They tend to pop up more often than not.

I'm Stoneface.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

I think I am. Since I don't remember, I can't be sure, but I do know it's really interesting. What kind of impossible things? People keep mentioning that but I haven't heard many stories.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Stoneface.

[misterbluesky.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the sphere. I'm Truth, one of the greeters. Let me know if you need anything, okay?

I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO USE THIS ICON

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, Truth! (Is that a boy name or a girl name?)

What does a greeter do? I'm still trying to figure out what kind of work there is here, but I guess I still have some time.

[yourealrightnow.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can. I was the same way when I first got here. You'll start to learn that science and logic don't have a big place here.

My name's Roswell. It's nice to meet you, Rosalind. If you ever need anything, come find me in Sector 3 or down at the Medical Island. I'm happy to do whatever I can.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

Science has a place everywhere. But thanks, I'll remember! Are you a doctor?

[spandexisyouth]

Hello, Rosalind! I am reading this! I am called Youth!

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

Hi, Youth! ...how old are you?

[pinkmoonrabbit.livejournal.com]

It might be magic ♥

I'm Sailormoon. Nice to meet you

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

A sailor? Do you have your own boat? My brother was looking for bodies of water.

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

I'm Bookman, but everyone calls me Rabbit.

You'll learn really quick normal doesn't exist here.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

Really? Were you a librarian or something?

That's what I'm hearing.
