Tarou? That seems like a pretty good name to me... [She's dismissing that smudge she sees instead of the first part of his name as an 'oops i'm not used to writing this name' thing, yes]

[Have a few blots of ink on the page as she starts to reply, but then re-reads and tries to make sense of how that sentence reads to her.]

Tarou-san it is then! I'm called Suzuran, and welcome to the tree. It is very strange, isn't it?

It's nice to meet you then, Suzuran. And yeah, it's all pretty weird.

It takes a little time, but I'm sure you'll be fine. Have you thought any about what kind of job you might like to have?

Yep.

Momotaro? You do not happen to be short and young with dark hair, do you?

Depends on your definitions of 'short' and 'young' I suppose - though unless everyone here is a giant, I don't think I can claim the first.

Weird name.

Pretty much. I haven't been here long enough to know everyone.

I see. There was a boy who was here with the name of Momotarou a while ago, but I do not suppose you are him, then.

Welcome to Edensphere! It is very weird.

It is! And even right now there are two Sevens!

Ah, okay. I'm really not sure what's okay in this place and what isn't.

Do not worry. You are new and most people will be patient, and I think most will also tell you if you do something that is not safe or okay. If you are thoughtful and do not ask too many questions about the Tree itself you will be fine! I am sure of this!

Also, my name is Gai. It is nice to meet you, Momotarou!

Doesn't sound too bad. Maybe there's someone else here who knows about it.

That sounds like a good start, too.

Yeah, I suppose so. Need to look for a job, too, anyway.

If you have any careful questions I can try to answer them!

You are welcome!

Yeah, well. Guess we'll see.

Books? Not really sure yet.

Yeah, I noticed. I'm going to take a better look around once I get settled, I think.
