Chapter 1. Saturday night's alright for fighting/Get a little action in

[thebestseller]

"It was a dark and stormy night".

No- that's far too cliché.

"It was a glorious and crisp fall afternoon..." We're getting closer. Ah. How about "It was a glorious and crisp fall afternoon when I was suddenly born naked from a cocoon and knowing next to nothing about myself, and I have a brother named Genius"? Now THAT's a hell of a beginning for a story, wouldn't you agree? Especially considering that all of us have the same beginning here.

Hello to Edensphere. You can call me Derrick. I'm ready to begin writing my own new life story here, and I would be happy to hear yours.

You get points for originality. Don't think I've heard anyone start off their Sphere correspondence with a note like that before.

Well, thank you. I wanted to make an entrance with a bang; I imagine there are only so many variations on "oh dear, I came here with no memories", after all.

It hasn't gotten old yet but, then again, I've not been here terribly long myself. Still, not bad to see a fresh take on things.

Name's Gene-1, by the way. Most just use Gene. I'd share my life story, but I haven't really recalled it, yet. I'll let you know if I do.

Hey there, Gene. Well, I don't remember my story, either- but I'm writing a new one as we speak. I think that's enough for now.

You know, Charger almost named me Narky Complex. I'm not sure now which one I like better.

[live_ringer]

Good way of looking at it. Hell, this story may be better than the first.

Well, Derrick makes you sound less like a detective from the funny papers, so I guess it depends on what you're going for, really.

Hmm, that's quite true. I'd have had it better than Genius, though- Charger wanted to name HIM Vicky.

[live_ringer]

Ouch. Now that's a blown to the masculine pride. Either that or this Charger fellow's just funny with names.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Charger seems to be funny with people in general. Very buff, but I think he's all muscle and not so many smarts.

[live_ringer]

Ah, one of those sorts. Suddenly, I'm thankful for the greeters I've gotten in the past.
