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!]

Can I still help somehow?

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.
no subject
It would help if we could actually study these tethers. See what they are made of how they might change if someone does leave. Even if we can't hear from them, if we could somehow study the traces, it could lead to something.
no subject
On the other side of that, what if we checked in with people from the same worlds? People can come from different times, right? Maybe if they know each other and their times are separate, they can tell us if something odd occurred.
no subject
You seem familiar with the concept yourself.
no subject
But I bet someone here does! I'll ask around.

I'm sorry, I'm not a great source for this part. I mostly just did what she told me when we had to make a new pact.
no subject
What did she tell you to do?
no subject
She performed all the incantations and artes and everything.
no subject
And the one you made the pact with some kind of spirit?
no subject
And when I lay it out like that, it really is obvious how I was hardly involved, huh?
no subject
[More like a lot, but Eustace is being nice. He'll keep the questions coming, it's cool.]
What is a seraphim? And what was the purpose of such a pact?
no subject
If someone who has resonance can form a pact with a seraph, they can use their powers and even use their own resonance to help other humans see seraphim, though they'd have to get pretty strong for that to work.
no subject
It sounds similar to something else in my world. But the main purpose is to channel their powers to use for something you normally could not.
How common is it for someone to form such a pact?
no subject
As far as I know, when I left my friends and I were the only ones with those sorts of pacts. I'd only been around one continent though, it could've been different elsewhere.

Unfortunately a lot of our historical records are pretty spotty. The general consensus says that humans lost their reverence for seraphim and took their blessings for granted. As a result seraphim had to leave human towns and cities and withdrew back to nature. Most seraphim are nomadic and travel around; it's pretty rare in my time for them to settle anywhere for long, and less so near humans.
