Subject: Strange Riddle

Hi everyone. I don’t know if anyone has noticed this right now, but I have found something that arrived with my talismans while I was cleaning up my treehouse weeks ago. Strangely enough, it has a similar handwriting to the writing on the pieces that I found in the hut with my partner last month. This one sounds a lot like a riddle but I’m still trying to understand what it is talking about.

It said that someone knows when we’re sleeping and they still stay where they were when we’re awake, and a warning about a being that has a fang-toothed grin, and said figure could either be man or a rabbit munching on cheesecake. That’s what I am getting at the moment. Has anyone else found a copy of the riddle coming with their set of talismans too? Maybe we can find out what it is trying to tell us together.

And yes, I still have my copy of the riddle with me.

show me

( .....right. not everyone knows how to do that. siiiigh here comes more: )

look at it

then look at the page and picture it there

( as a demonstration, a very small slip of paper appears on the page beside his words (so there's plenty of room below it) with 'THIS RIDDLE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE' written on it. )

(Agh, what a stubborn fellow. And she thought Dmitri can be unbearable at times, and this one person couldn’t even try to let her explain this properly.)

Well, you must be very persisting in wanting proof that the riddle is a joke.

But… What if I had told you that it is highly possible that the Mutton Man could related to these creatures called Erasers and their maker the Story Eater? And that some of the dreamwalkers had encountered the Mutton Man in the previous month’s dreamshift

what? i don't want that. doesn't sound like a joke anymore, but it also doesn't make sense. might make more sense if i read what it said instead of what you said


just got here, haven't heard of any of that. except mutton man now.

has anyone seen it outside of the dream? or just heard of it ( the post about the mutton man didn't say one way or another - they just seemed to assume that the mutton man killing sheep here was the one from the dream. )

I can try to write the riddle down for easier access. It goes something like this:

He sees you when you’re sleeping
He’s still there when you’re awake
Some say there lives a man on it
Or a rabbit with some cheesecake

Just beware the fangtoothed grin
For it drips with forgotten sins

Well from what I have heard, some of the other dreamwalkers have encountered them earlier this month. There is also a report on them as well.
