I'm Abigail. I'm new here. Well, new-ish. I think I've been here around three weeks.

[She paused for a moment, not wanting to say too much about her hallucinations from the stings, or the days after when she was convinced she had become mentally ill and everything was a hallucination. She has the worry that she's inherited something from her father, something seriously wrong with her and this place is so strange that a part of her still thinks she's lost her mind.]

I wasn't myself for a while. I thought I had this other life and was back in high school. And I was taking piano lessons too, which was cool. I was learning to play the harpsichord before I came here.

[She paused again.]

I haven't used social media in a while.

[She wasn't sure how long she was in hiding in her old life. It's strange to be interacting publicly again.]

I guess I just want to say hi. So, hi.

I hope you didn't suffer unduly. I understand some barely made it out intact.

[am_i_a_monster]

The hallucinations were bad. I had someone there who helped me though.

[claritatis]

That's good to know. Have you been able to discover much about this place thus far?

[am_i_a_monster]

Just what other people have told me. It's all very strange.

[claritatis]

'Very strange' would be a fine term for it, certainly.
