Hi everyone! :3 My name is Meilin Lee, but you can call me Mei! \o/ Nice to meet you!

So I've been here for like a month (wow!) and I've noticed one super huge important thing this place is missing.

SCHOOL.

Okay so hear me out : I know school isn't like FUN fun for everyone, but! Look at how many posts with people asking to be taught things or offering to teach people things? Plus, us newbies still need to know how to work all this dream energy emotion stuff, and it'd kinda be nicer to do it in a classroom setting instead of when I'm running for my life from a noctare.

Plus, what if when we wake up our minds are all tired and goopy from lack of knowledge? We gotta keep our brains energized!

Here's what we need for a good school -
A building with lots of room
Desks
Lockers
Chalkboards + chalk
Bookshelves
Teachers

There's probably a bunch of other stuff too but this is a work in progress! We should all work together on ideas to make this happen! I know we like a lot of money for it (and I still think it is SUPER WEIRD that dreams need money???) but maybe if we all pitch in a little at a time it'll all come together!

I'm open to any and all ideas!!!! I hope you all have a great day!!!! :DDD

[ more flowers and less things that try to kill her, please! ]

No, I haven't heard of them! What kind of flowers are they?

[judicialassistant]

They're special flowers native to Songerein that my friends discovered. You won't find them in any school curriculum about herbology, but something about them is able to ward off the noctaere.

Maybe I could give you some, so that it won't be so scary if you run into them again.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

That would be so great! I ran (swam???) away from my first one and it was really scary. Thank goodness Hunter was there, he got us to safety!

[judicialassistant]

[ Swam? ]

I've not met Hunter yet, but I am glad he protected you! Perhaps he would help with the school as well.

I'll bring the flowers when we meet next. They are blue and they glow, so you can't miss them.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

I owe you one! Seriously, name the favor and I'll do it!

[judicialassistant]

Just take good care of it. [ She draws a smiley face, with little lines that make it look like a little sun, which is ironic, considering what she writes next. ] Father and I grow them ourselves in our greenhouse. Previously they were growing in caves deep in the Wildlands, so they tend to like dark spaces.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ ... hold the phone - ]

Your DAD is here with you???

[judicialassistant]

[ ......Not the first person to react that way, honestly. ]

Yes. In fact I think we arrived at the same time. In November? Is that [ If Mei is watching the words appear, she might notice a pause here. ] strange?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

No no no no non no

okay maybe a little

I just didn't know our parents could show up here

[ like. dad might be cool about all that's happened. but mom? HOO BOY, MOM. ]

[judicialassistant]

Parents dream, too!

[ Susato is no artist, but she doodles the rough approximation of a smiling mustachioed man. Well, as smiling as Yujin can be, anyway. It probably looks cartoonish at best. ]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

well yeah i guess that's true

He seems like a nice guy

[ mom i love you but please be chillax if you get here PLEASE BE CHILLAX MEI'S SWEAT IS LITERALLY DROPPING ONTO THE JOURNAL ]

[judicialassistant]

[ Some spots on the page may have appeared slightly darker than normal? Susato thinks she's imagining it. ]

If you are ever hurt, you can count on him. But hopefully I will have a chance to introduce you, even if you aren't.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Is he a doctor?

[ a little worrying you can get hurt or sick in a dream world... ]

[judicialassistant]

He is a professor, technically, but he specializes in forensic medicine. He knows a lot, and has even studied overseas. He runs the clinic here in Reverein.

Dr Mathis was helping him, but it is just him and a handful of volunteers now, I'm afraid.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

If you guys need help, I can try to lend a hand!

[ It's sheer instinct at this point to offer her help 24/7, without even realizing she's done it. ]

[judicialassistant]

[ Relatable. Susato won't even dismiss her right away, ever encouraging. ]

How sweet of you! He would love your company, I'm sure of it.

You could learn a lot from him, if you ever wish to become a nurse.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ countdown until mei faints from exhaustion... ]

I want to learn a lot from everyone! My mom says the possibilities for my future are endless if I keep expanding my knowledge!

[judicialassistant]

[ Overworked teen Asian cuddle pile. ]

Your mother is very wise! But I'm sure you like studying some things better than others, right? What kind of teachers are you hoping for at this school?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Ones that give me a real challenge! That way, when I wow them, they'll be SUPER wowed ;)

[judicialassistant]

What would you wow them with?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

My super smarts and my determination! "Giving up" is not in my extended vocabulary!

I NEVER QUIT!

[judicialassistant]

Hehe! Not even in a dream world. Well, school was your idea. What did you like to study though?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

How can I have favorites when I like everything?

But I do have the highest scores in math, French, and music!

[judicialassistant]

Oh, wonderful! [ Of course Math is on the list. ] Do you play an instrument? That I remember, you were quite the singer as well.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

I play the flute! And I score myself some pretty sweet spots soloing at the school concerts.
