If there's anyone having trouble sleeping due to nightmares, or anything else, feel free to swing by The Wild Harvest.

We've got a lemonade-like drink that will guarantee a peaceful night's sleep; can also make it a tea if you're more the type for that.

For those who might prefer a dreamless night sleep, I've got a strong homemade honey moonshine on offer as well. I'm willing to part with a few jars of it.

That's all.

Hello!

I think I've caught on to how this works, so I wanted to try it out. I thought I'd ask a quick question that might be pretty open-ended but still interesting.

If there's something you'd want to tell someone new to this whole experience, what would it be?

I guess there's no hiding it, I'm still catching on to everything. So the person you'd be telling it to would be me, in this case. Haha.

Thanks!

[ Zack is beyond stressed. Fueled with anxiety and the dread of what occurred in the aftermath of the Story Eater had him all but riled up and restless. It was through some coaxing, despite his initial refusal, that the former SOLDIER takes to the journal for a much needed break.

So here he comes with his horrible handwriting again. At least this time he actually knows who he is addressing . ]

looks like all those baddies are gone for good... hopefully.

everyone holding up okay?

if yor lookin to blow off some steam im open to go out for a run with ya
or squats
you pick but i promise the exercise will help

[ as much as he wants to stay in the house he's literally losing his mind and all the worry is getting to his head.

there's a bit of a pause but suddenly more words start to appear on the page. Typical Zack behavior ahead: ]

... ooor if your looking for someone to hang out with for a strong shoulder to cry on i got you covered

Subject: Office wide vacation

Whew. Past few weeks were rough. Even as someone who loves a good fight, there were a lot of fights. Lot of emotionally trying stuff, too. Even I'm beat. So, everyone at DMC: IMP's gonna be on leave for a while. Probably a week or so. Long enough to sleep off all of uhh. That. Since it's been a while since I used this, DMC: IMP's a group of us demons and non-demons who're damn good at fighting monsters and noctaere. Would be a business if money existed, but last time it did, it was a big mistake. Joint effort between Devil May Cry, the Immediate Murder Professionals and anyone who hangs out at the office long enough. You can drop by if you want; it's the building with a bunch of holes, missing doors and tarp over a torn off rooftop. Oh right, we gotta rebuild it again. Maybe two or three weeks. We'll figure that out.

[ If Gen can, he will try to specifically ping skyglider, spikeyheaded, retrieves, and mortal_son. He hasn't used the journal before, though, ~~and I'm not sure it's a mechanic that's even impossible~~. This post is for everyone to reply to, but if you want to say his ping was successful - it's up to you if you want to ignore it! mortal_son obviously will. ]

Hi there, lovely strangers -

are you all doing all right?

For the rest of you, if you have something to get off your chest - sometimes getting it all out is far better than bottling it up. Perhaps especially under *these* conditions ...

Posted by: unbrokenoaths

Sender: Baldr
To: Everyone
Subject: Dreamotion Research Assistance Request

Many of you may already be aware of the ongoing effort to ensure that those who wish to remain in this world may do so. Eustace-san has suggested a logical first step: we need to better understand the nature of the connections between our present selves and our original worlds. While it appears that observing the connection directly is beyond their current instruments, the researchers at the Observatory are hopeful that progressing their understanding of dreamotion could prove helpful.

What we now need are volunteer dreamers who would not object to the study of their dreamwalking and dreamotion. For those willing, if you could reply here or contact myself or Eustace-san, it would be a considerable help. Of course those who have no intention of staying here permanently are also very welcome to assist. I believe learning more about this could be beneficial to all of us.

Finally, the tapirs have suggested that those who no longer exist in their original world may not be tethered to those worlds as tightly. From comparison to the magic of my own world, I believe volunteers with unusual circumstances such as these might be able to provide the researchers with additional clues. Those who have died in their own worlds, who otherwise experienced a separation from their physical bodies, or who may have complex connections as a result of something such as cloning could be particularly helpful. I understand that a number of these subjects may be sensitive. If you don't wish to discuss them in public, you are more than welcome to contact us privately, or to disclose this information only to the researchers themselves.

Thank you all for your time,
Baldr

Subject: No Subject (Backdated to the first week)

[ Words that begin to appear in the journals are written slowly, as if with intent. The handwriting is... coherent at best at this slower pace, but every word is coming in gradually and seemingly with more frustration.

Guess who thinks this is just a plain ol' journal to use? ]

~~Dear Aeir~~
~~What's up!?~~
~~Hello! Hey th———~~

Hey Aerith.
Hope things are going ~~well??~~ good for you

[ UGH ]

So... yeah. ~~See you soon~~
~~Regard~~ [ No that was SO STUPID ]

[ The words at the bottom of the page are suddenly cut out, as if completely disregarded or tossed away.

But seconds later another one appears: ]

Hello!

[ Nope that one is gone, too. ]

[The handwriting of the post is surprisingly elegant, and before there's anything written from him there is a rather good sketch of a small, black, winged kitten.]

Did anyone lose this? They've been following me around most of the day now and I haven't seen any lost pet signs.

[It doesn't belong to anyone else, Wanderer just has a new little dreamotion buddy that will properly express emotions.

And demand pets, but mostly the first one.]

{ premise }

Songerein—

A dream world born from the clash of three different universes. One world produced emotion energy, a byproduct created when one's emotions manifested into a more tangible force. Another produced dream energy, a byproduct of one's dreams that allowed one to view and traverse through them. Both worlds produced so much excess energy they were diverted into an empty universe and happened to collide, producing a new, strange world made up of a new source, dreamotion energy. It remained a barren wasteland until a tear through the dimensions appeared and the concepts of fairy tales poured through. Magic, creatures, environments—they were all dumped in a central location and life began to form. But were they real? Or just figments of what they used to be? Regardless, this giant clash has created a unique world filled with unlimited possibilities.

But of course, a clash of this size would have some side effects. The dream energy in particular remains volatile and continues to seep out with its innate ability to connect to any dream in any world. If there is a strong enough resonance between the dreamer and dream energy, a version of the dreamer, a dream self, is formed and pulled into Songerein while the original body remains in their world safe, unharmed, and unaware of what's going on. Only after accumulating enough dreamotion energy can the dream self "wake up" and leave Songerein to return to its original body, all its experiences felt like a strange, long dream.

Fortunately, Songerein is relatively...peaceful. It's a brand new world after all with only the fairy tale creatures and the dream selves, or dreamwalkers as they are officially called, pulled from other worlds as its denizens. There may be times the different energies become unstable, but it only creates a slight disturbance that eventually settles. Still, the constant connecting and reconnecting through the dream energy means that different things are randomly pulled in and disappear from the world. Those who have decided to make Songerein their home want to build onto it by using the ability to traverse through dreams to their advantage. By creating dreamshifts, they can create giant dreamscapes based on other worlds that large groups of dreamwalkers can enter and bring back concepts to be used in Songerein. Beginning with fairy tales, dreamwalkers could also form dreamshifts based on their own home worlds to bring in something from there. As a bonus, this uses the excess dreamotion energy within the world, helping stabilize it.

So, what kind of world will Songerein become? Just remember…

Where there are dreams, there are also nightmares.

Songerein is a panfandom game based on the following three former games: Somarium, Empatheias, and Forgotten Tales. At its core it is a worldbuilding game with adventure and character development. Player and character action will be what decides what is brought into Songerein, be it for good or ill. Although it's expected for players to be able to create their own fun and not rely solely on the mods, Songerein is billed to be more of a relaxed game for everyone to have fun in.
