Greetings fellow dreamwalkers,

My name is G'raha Tia and I have recently arrived here. [In a dream world? Close enough.] Having spent some time learning the lay of the land and what Reverein has to offer, I have noticed the lack of aetherytes in the area. I am well aware that this is not at all the same world that I am familiar with, but I would like to provide my assistance in making life here a little bit easier if it is possible.

Where I come from, we have crystals that act as a means for teleportation and faster travel.

[They also take more aether than most can afford to use actively, but that wasn't important here. Taking a moment to try to imprint what they generally look like, this image will pop up for people to reference from.]

Normally in order to use these, you need to attune to them with your aether, though I doubt the same will work here. Once attuned to them, you'll be able to use them as a means to travel around the town.

I confess that I am not used to having downtime, so it is my proposition that I can spend my newly found free time to aid any other people who come here as well. I have recently found out that my dreamotion is crystal based and though I have not experimented enough with it just yet, I believe I may be able to recreate these aetherytes. There will be some trial and error and I cannot say how long it will take, but in order for these to work properly here, I imagine I will have to experiment with using dreamotion as a substitute for aether.

[And this has gotten a lot more technical than he had intended so...]

That said... I wanted to ask for any information people may have that may assist me in my research to make this a reality soon enough. I do not know enough about Reverein just yet to make any large strides presently.

Thank you for your time.

[OOC: G'raha is from the end of Shadowbringers, so there will be spoilers more than likely in comments and possibly icons. Please see my opt-out post if you are currently going through the story and would prefer not to be spoiled. This will allow me to know just how much I can share. Please and thank you!]

[ Yeah... Big old huge nerd. Vanitas gets it, for sure. It makes him snort on the end of his little book thing. Whatever. ]

That's sure a lot of text for something that can be said succinctly.

[crystalized_hope]

Nonetheless, it'll require some testing. [Dodging the comment.] Any and all information that can lead to possible solutions are all but welcome. I intend to use whatever information I can gather either from other dreamers or my own means to come up with some sort of plan.

[darkcharge]

[ Yeah, ah huh. He can tell. ]

You really are just looking to make yourself useful in any cpacity that you can, huh?

[crystalized_hope]

[He's going to have to be prepared for the jabs from now on with Vanitas, isn't he? Comes with the territory when he knew G'raha, but he didn't know him.]

If I can help make a difference here, then I will do my best to help out. I never did well with nothing to do.

[He's always had something to do to keep him busy. If it wasn't doing things for the Students of Baldesion, it was looking into his own research and party. And when that led his fate to the Crystal Tower, it led to founding a city. Having nothing to do now was much more strange to him, so he was glad to have something to throw himself into; especially when it would be beneficial to everyone here if it worked.]

[darkcharge]

There IS such a thing as allowing yourself some time to recover, you know. Have you even been here for a full week before rushing off to find some pet project to work on?

[crystalized_hope]

[You know, that was a good question... He hadn't really kept track.]

Who says I won't allow some time to recover? [Yeah... about that...] I assure you there's no need to worry about me.

[That's probably not it anyway.]

[darkcharge]

No one is saying anything. The fact you're here already smacking your head against a problem is more telling than anything anyone could say.

[ SO THERE ]

Not that I care or anything like that.

[crystalized_hope]

Is there something inherently wrong with wanting to try to help, even if it is right away?

[It sure sounds like you care.]

[darkcharge]

I think getting yourself sorted kind of outweighs that need. Then whenever you figure that out, go ahead. Do whatever.

[crystalized_hope]

And I plan to.

It'll likely take a while to get any meaningful progress due to the lack of information currently. Though I could hardly say that has slipped my mind.

[darkcharge]

Hmm. Yeah. It's definitely an problem. The lack of information floating around, that is.

[crystalized_hope]

Well, please do not hesitate to contact me if you come across any useful information.
