What? What in the world was that? Strange. I'm not even sure who I am. Think. Think. Nothing. Wait. Where am I? Can I open my eyes? Yes, it feels like I can. Slowly. Now, what am I seeing? It appears to be nothing but the color grey. Grey? No, look a little closer. Not Grey, blurry. What is blurry? Focus. Wait. It's a wall.

{ Achievement Unlocked: Eyes Open }

Interesting. Can I look around? Yes. Looking around I see more walls. However, I'm not inside, it appears that I am surrounded by buildings. They aren't far away but they also aren't nearby. It seems I'm in some sort of plaza. A city maybe?

Well, that was definitely less than helpful. Actually, it did help. I'm in a metropolis. It would also appear to a very large metropolis. Massive? Maybe. However, what is giving that information. I don't know. Who am I?

Well, slightly demeaning and contradictory but still helpful. Is that how this world works, simply reducing everything down to attributes and numbers? Hopefully I can raise these numbers at some point. At least I now know my own name. I can work with this.
