sixth entry ⊗ permanent residency

Sender: Eustace
To: Everyone
Subject: A Method to Stay in This World

As everyone should know, the version of ourselves in this world is wholly separate from our originals that remain awake in our home worlds. What we do here has no effect there, and vice versa. Most won't care whether they are here for a temporary stay, however there are those like me and Tifa who have formed relationships that would be impossible if not for this world.

And I am determined to make it last.

When the Halloween Carnival arrived last October, we had the opportunity to speak to the tapirs and inquire about the nature of our existence here. In short, we are tethered to our home world which allows us to return, currently at random. However, the fae, creatures, and every other being that is not a dreamer like ourselves do not have such tethers. They either traversed into this world or were directly taken through other means.

This leads to the conclusion that if we want to stay in this world, we need to somehow break the connection, either by completely severing it or changing the tether to connect to this world instead. Perhaps we need to completely change the nature of our current "dream self." As the risk of being sent back is high if the tether is cut, I aim to focus on other means.

However, there is of course no known knowledge or means to do this, and the tapirs do not know, either. Thus I am sending this inquiry to:

1) ask if there are any others who would be interested either to help or in the results;

2) if there is anyone who is familiar with dimensional travel or strong magic that could give some clue as to what to look for.

Currently I am looking through the Tree of Stories to find any text or story that could be of use. My current suspicion is dreamotion will be the main component, however manipulating it for such a use will be difficult.

If you are interested, you can respond here or contact me privately.

— Eustace


[ooc: AND THUS MARKS THE BEGINNINGS OF A VERY LONG QUEST but yeah Eustace is trying to find a way to stay permanently in this world and is looking for anyone who wants to help, wants to benefit, or has ideas that they can look into and be possibly incorporated in the actual method. An additional sign-up post has gone up for an official head count. Those who sign-up will be able to play a significant role in finding a clue and/or piece that will lead to the final result. More details there!]

could you??? waaaah i would love to see it!

[ when it comes to researching she’s done her fair share of deep book diving. And while it may not be the most entertaining of duties, it was still a very useful one. One that she knew she could contribute to. ]

I want to get started right away!

Yeah. The end is coming.

Well, not in the "end of all existence" sense.

It's complicated.

But I'm apparently the only one who can see it's coming who's trying to do anything about it.

I wish I felt as sure about where I wanted to go as you do.

[One doesn't come up with this whole project on a whim...]

okaaay!! i still have some food left over from our trip to the store so ill come up when im finished!!

[ she might be a little too eager see Eustace again as she places down the device, scurrying off to eat her lunch as fast as she can (and while trying to avoid the eager eyes of the dogs that accompanied her downstairs. okay maybe she did share her food a little bit shh

It will take her some time to arrive, mostly because she wanted to be mindful of Eustace and Tifa’s time, and she knew the conversation he was having with other people was probably very important…

Cue her softly knocking on the upstairs door when she finally makes it, and poking her head in the opening.

Excuse me…

[ This is probably the most Zelda has ever seen Eustace say at one time.

His words give Zelda a lot to think on, but one thing in particular stands out from the rest. "As selfish as it might sound" sticks in her mind. How can he be so open about the selfishness of such an idea, and yet still want to pursue it? Why is he willing to risk removing himself from his original world? ]


What about your friends and family in your homeland?

Tapirs...

I guess that would be difficult to verify. Anyone whose tether is severed wouldn't be able to report back; we'd have to confirm some other way.

If that's what it is, might as well call it that. I don't mind helping you test it out once you figure it out.

[He's not sure what his future is holding at the moment, but he knows what his curse does. Staying here doesn't sound so bad, but if he gets sent back, even briefly, or worse... well, it's not like he has anyone too close to him who will care (yet)! Better to get the super reckless shit out of the way before then.]

I think I get it though. It's like... a part of us but all merged together?

[Because... his Graveyard works like that. Kind of. He usually passes the hell out when he goes there too, so... HMMMM.]

aight like what do i gotta ask them
'yo you know anything about staying in this place?'


[Wait, is he serious?]

[The moment when dealing with dragons might be easier... not that Hans is really looking forward to talking with a creature that can kill him in several different ways. It'll probably be fine. Just smile through everything and pull out the charm.]

Perhaps we can start with building a stronger relationship with them. Develop a bond and trust, that usually goes far when asking for things.

[Motivations.]

You guys have been together a while, huh? [That wedding was the real deal, for them to consider giving up everything they knew.]

There was probably one point that I thought it would be better for everyone, if I stayed here without ever going back.

[WHY ARE YOU ASKING HIM? He's literally just doing like you said!]
