...as I say.

I am... wary of you. But will be examining your findings, and exploring my world as I've always done, and comparing the results. It would... seem that there is life on this forum. Very, very small quantities of life. Presumably of greater quality than quantity. I will enjoy... or perhaps not, I suppose... familiarizing myself with you. I shan't say "getting to know", because it is an abstract and imprecise phrase with little to no meaning, much like the "How are you?" exchange. Which should tell you something about me, if you care to know.

You may call me Sciosa, Sci, Alanna, or any derivations thereof which you find appealing. I will respond to most monikers. Do not try to discover the meaning of "sciosa". I myself am at a loss-- it is a word which I heard without hearing, and have appropriated for my own use. I can find no reference to it prior to my assumption of the name. If you search for it, you will find only me... in my various incarnations across the net. And there are many. You will discover in time that I am fickle and sly. You will discover also that I am blunt. You will discover that I lie. You will discover that I know both more and less than I will tell you. Enjoy your brush with the Fool. I will endeavor to enjoy my brush with you, in all your incarnations.

Now ask me, and I will answer you. I do not guarantee that it will be true. I only guarantee that I will answer. Take this or leave it as you will.

Note that my tone is always formal in a setting unfamiliar to me. I may relax as time goes by... or I may become more formal. Who can say?

Dear Sciosa,

Why do you suffer so?

Lovingly yours,
Prem
