[The handwriting is neat and legible, if slightly florid.]

I see we've acquired a circus this time around.

The jokes may not last all that long.

Why not? People seem cheerful enough.

Even those who believe they know what is coming do not actually know where they are.

Not in the least, no. It's not as if there's a nice big map and directions on this place. It'd be nice if there were though.

If wishes were horses, they'd have been rounded up for the stables already.

There is very little in this place you will find for free.

There might also be a unicorn.

And if there was someone willing to bargain?

Be careful who - and what - you bargain with.

Or you may find you have paid a great deal and gained nothing.

Too true. I'd hate to give away everything for nothing.

There are also a good many things you will need to do - or find - for yourself.

At least, depending upon how you want to end up.

I'd like to end up well off, if that's all fine and well. Most people do, don't they?

Oh everyone does. Unfortunately reality often is not cooperative with those who merely sit and expect it to treat them well because they exist.

But if you rush, you go around in circles. I don't blame people for being uncertain. After all, one inch forward is darkness.

Are the only choices you recognize truly between "sit still and beg charity" and "run in circles blindly, floundering"?

You forget harassing everyone I see, setting things on fire, and contributing to the circus.

In short? No, they're not. And I don't beg for charity.

Really.

The way you've been attempting to fish for answers based upon "wouldn't it be nice" and "isn't it what anyone would want", you could have fooled me.

I think we're misunderstanding each other. I'm not trying to wheedle or whine or expect anything for free.

Then what are you after?

With you or in general?

Both. Either. As little as you know of who or what you've been speaking to, they may be interchangeable.

Right now? With you? Conversation.

I don't know who you are. You might know who Rei Kurosawa, Taka, Raven is. Maybe written, maybe not.

Until you can answer me, with your voice, who you are and I can believe you, I can't tell you more than that.

Does that help?

There are many things I cannot or will not say within these pages.

And some where I would need more reason than that to discuss them.

As do I.

What if I offered an exchange of information?

And what information would you have that would be of use to me?

And not utterly asinine to transcribe here?

Stories.

Again. What stories would be of use to me.

And not idiotic to repeat via a medium where essentially anything will be aware of the conversation.
