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.

[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!]

I'm in. Whatever it fucking takes. Simple as that.

[Yeah, yeah. It’s surprising when she cares about stuff, she knows.]

Hell of a lot better than my own. More than that, it means a lot to a lot of people.
It’s a place for second chances, right?

That seems like something worth protecting, to me.

Seems like it. I'm sure Tifa's happy about that.

[Honestly, she doesn't mind it, either.]

He'll join. Haven't asked him yet, but it's something he'd be into.

He's got reason to be invested in staying here.

Not the book type, but there's other kinds of research to do. I'm damn good in the wilderness. The hands-on shit that you need someone to take care of, out looking for things? I can do that.

I'll be there, whatever it is. We haven't always been on the same page, but you can depend on me.

Don't mention it.

You know how to reach me if you need me.
