This may seem a silly question, given that her grove is largely capable of caring for itself, however I planted some roses there a month ago.
Has anyone been paying visit to care for the plants? If not, I will be making a visit there.
As an aside, I would like to issue a reminder that I do not like my things being touched without my permission. Please refrain from doing such.[She will be going to the grove anyway, regardless of whether someone has been taking care of the flowers or not.]

( Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue... )Hi everyone! Tifa and Eustace here.
Some of you already know that Eustace and I are getting married this winter but consider this our official announcement. And an invitation!The wedding ceremony will be at the Corgi Tree at 2PM and will be closed to friends only. However, we will be holding the reception at 5PM along the Riverside and will be open to the public. Everyone is welcome to attend, even if just to grab a free meal. Directions are provided.So, I've been wondering what kind of traditions you all have in your own worlds? I've never been to one before myself, so I'd love to hear about things you've all seen or done! Maybe even borrow a few to start out a few new Reverein traditions.OOC NOTE: ALL characters are welcome to the reception regardless of whether or not they have CR with Tifa and/or Eustace! There will be a log will be going up on
December 3 for this, so please look forward to it! Both Tifa and Eustace will be responding.

Greetings, to all who may happen to read this.
I have been meaning to make this offer for some time, but the timing has been ill-suited. At the urging of trusted friends, I have decided to offer music lessons to any who may wish to participate— over the years, I have studied and performed with a number of different instruments that I would be more than happy to assist others with, should this be something they wish to pursue.
My expertise is in violin, but I also have significant experience with flute and piano. In addition to teaching these instruments, I would like to offer lessons in learning to read as well as compose sheet music. With the growth of the theatre district, as well as all the talents put on display at the recent Talent Show, I believe Reverein's climate is ripe for such things, and I do not doubt that there are others willing to offer the same in the interest of sharing their passions.
I will be gladly accepting students of any skill level, and if I can be of assistance to others who might like to share their love of the arts or offer lessons of their own, I would be honored to be of service. If you are interested in any fashion, please, you need only say so.
Sincerely,
Dohalim il Qaras

Warnings: Likely potentially upsetting content. Implications of genocide. I’m going to try to explore this as gently, respectfully, and carefully as I can, but I do emphasise to proceed with caution.
Notes: A dream depicting Beatrix reflecting on some of the war crimes she committed in her home world. It is longer than I expected it to be.
Have some sounds of rain for ambiance.
It is not uncommon for Beatrix to patrol at night, usually following her dreams. It is safe to assume that post this dream, that’s precisely what she does. Feel free to encounter her in person (out on patrol, at her residence) or via journals, though with the latter, it is unlikely she will respond immediately. Assume journal responses are after an applicable amount of time, depending on circumstance.( Allow me to shatter your delusions of grandeur. )

Greetings and felicitations, fellow dreamwalkers.
In case we are yet unacquainted, I am Emet-Selch. And rather than an inquiry, today I would extend an open invitation to all of you.
Over the past several months I have been working together with my most gracious hosts at the Grand Theatre House in a collaborative effort to bring something new and inspired to Reverein. In order to do this, I would seek talented individuals to join my theatre company.
Rather than hold a private audition, however, I thought it far more exciting to prepare a much larger event for all to partake in. After all, many of us are possessing of unique skills and fascinating abilities, so why not indulge the opportunity to showcase these talents upon a magnificent stage?
Thus have I decided to hold the REVEREIN TALENT SHOW. Whether you've an inclination towards the performing arts or not, you are all welcome to attend, or to simply savor a few moments in the spotlight if that is your desire. There will be rewards, of course. And those who have earned a place within my company will be announced at the conclusion of the event. If the idea of being judged frightens you, there will also be opportunity for improvisational and free-form performances following the main attraction.
Details are as outlined below, and I am available for anyone who has further questions about the competition. Anyone who should like to join our staff is encouraged to reach out to either myself or the Grand Theatre House managerial staff. At this time, we are yet seeking additional seats for our judges panel as well as those who might volunteer their time and talents to make this event a true spectacle.
The competition will be held early next month, over a course of two evenings on the 5th and 6th days. I trust this will allow everyone ample opportunity to perfect their routines. And with that, I shall eagerly await the chance to witness your performances.
Best of luck!
((OOC: tl;dr the Grand Theatre House will be hosting a Talent Show during the evenings of September 5 and 6. Anyone may participate! If you'd like your character to enter for a chance at prizes and snarky judges' commentary, please reply in the thread below. Applications will remain open indefinitely. (And are totally voluntary, by the way! Your character can still show up and perform if they wish!) This is mostly just to give me and the other players an idea of how many characters we'll be judging and who actually wants to join Emet-Selch's theatre group. You may assume that flyers advertising the event have cropped up around town (if they don't all get blown away!) and within a few of the shops who will be taking part in the event.))

Hello everyone! My name is Thoma! Nice to meet you! ▽･ｪ･▽ﾉ”
(That’s a dog.)
I was just thinking that there are a lot of us here who might be new to living alone or managing things around the house and I wanted to help out. I’m a housekeeper back home, and my duties include cooking, cleaning, mending, laundry, and a few things in-between. These are all valuable skills to have in everyday life!
Usually, I am happy to help where I can, but realistically I can’t clean every house in all of Reverein, so I would like to teach the basics of housekeeping instead. Please let me know if you’re interested and I will schedule some classes! ♡(ᐢ ᴥ ᐢし)
(That’s another dog.)
Oh, I also knit so if you want to learn how to do that, I can help there too!
Thanks for reading. Take care everyone!

It would appear that I have been indisposed, though that seems to have been rectified. If for any reason, you have been seeking me, I can now properly attend to matters that were not appropriately handled before said indisposition.
That said, please refrain from entering my personal space and leaving books, regardless of the quality of reading material. Furthermore, please refrain from entering my personal space, period.
I had, prior to my temporary condition, been discussing how to better provide a defence for the town proper. As more dream walkers find themselves in this world, not only do we grow in population count, we also grow in the evolution of the town. The market, beings who are not exactly dream walkers like ourselves, yet present all the same, farming land, the coliseum in disrepair, and our other outskirts.
I would like to know if it is possible to create a defensive ward to otherwise protect Reverein citizens from potential outside threats by use of dreamotion in the establishment of wards. If we are capable of creating such things, it may also be possible to recycle or supply a consistent and constant flow of dreamotion in an effort to power said wards or barriers.
For some time, I have contemplated the ability to, for lack of a better term, 'bottle' dreamotion for later usage. If you have any experience in such matters, I implore you to share your results.

Subject: S'mores! And a Request
Hello, everyone!
Since there are so many new dreamwalkers who've just arrived, I thought it might be nice to encourage everyone to get together and meet! There is a communal firepit in a clearing just outside of the residential area where I've got a fire going, and I have plenty of supplies to make "s'mores," which I only just learned about recently. (Thank you, Miss Tifa!) If you haven't had this before, please come and try it, it's delicious!
Additionally, I have a request for everyone to please keep an eye out for a few individuals... I realize that this may be in vain since their names did not appear in the directory, but just in case...
Colin
He is a tall, half-elven man with long, dark hair. He is very charismatic and funny and likely to be found busking with his lute somewhere or telling stories!
Aerie
Also tall, but fully an elf, very pretty and intelligent, also with dark hair (but not related to Colin!). She usually has three wolves with her. Extremely competent hunter!
Mellon
Also tall, also fully an elf, he usually does not wear a shirt. He loves to drink and might try to clear out any supply of alcohol... Please do not get into a tavern brawl with him.
Dae
Also tall, and also fully an elf, with white hair and red eyes. He is very good at magic and possibly would want to spar with you! Would likely have an owl familiar with him.
Cibark
Even taller and very very strong! He is a half-orc with green skin and usually wears armor and wields large weapons. He has a very dashing and heroic aura about him!
Sian
Not tall! They usually wear a cloak and a mask. Usually quiet but very sassy. They might be flying around, but they also don't usually remember that they can do that.
[ Ori why are you always surrounded by tall people ]If at any point in the future you come across anybody who seems to fit these descriptions, please let me know!(( ooc: Naturally open to these moving into or starting as an action thread! Come get s'mores! Or not. I can't tell you what to do. ))

We continue to be in changing times. More bodies arrive. Things adjust. Days adapt. We evolve. I am acutely aware of the growing number of issues in our recent days. I support the notion of a council to deliver swiftly the consequences for those who would disrupt the way of life here.
I wish to propose an addition—
It seems it would be beneficial to provide preventative measures to otherwise ward against such happenstances. I served as my queen's military general in the world I hail from, though was also tasked with the guardianship of her, my princess, and the town in which I served. It is my belief that those of us with similar ability to defend and protect ought to do so for those who cannot.
I motion the addition of a properly-established guard, for protection of local citizenry. This may also be able to extend to other practises, such as escorting those who require assistance into dangerous or unexplored territories. It is likely that this would offer other advantages to the whole of society here as well.

It's been a couple months now, so i've gotta ask...
Does anybody here actually understand how this dreamotion stuff works?! I tried watching people, I tried asking the locals about it, I tried doing it myself, and it's not making any frickin sense! it's like magic right? so maybe i'm just no good for it, my people aren't exactly known for their skill with astral artes.[unless you're Rinwell. But she's special.]Unless somebody can actually teach me maybe I should just give up. It's not like I actually need this stuff, right?

Hey there! You can just call me Alphen. I've already encountered many warriors and seasoned soldiers. We have strong fighters here.
I'm interested in seeing weaponry or combat gear. There are some really neat swords with intriguing designs. Still, I know that a weapon can be lethal all the same. So I've been meaning to ask a question as well.
For what reason would you fight?
I fight to protect my friends. I want to use my strength for the right reasons.
Granted, all I know how to do is wield a sword. I'd be more than glad to put those skills to use. I'm willing to spar and exchange combat moves with someone. Maybe we can learn with one another. I can't exactly let my blade rust when seriously powerful beasts could attack at any moment.

Subject: Journal Activity & Dreamotion Manifestation
[The following is written in slanted, elegant script, almost painfully neat— the mark of someone who takes great pride in their penmanship and thinks such things ought to leave a good impression.]These journals we've been provided are truly remarkable. The ability to share written information without any delay is certainly possible where I come from, but such technology is limited to a comparatively small number of people, rather than accessible to all. The opportunities these offer are near endless, especially if they are truly available to all who find themselves here.
I'll admit, I also find the handwritten aspect of them to be quite charming. It offers the personal touch of sending a written letter without the inconvenience of having to wait for it to be delivered.
This entry is largely to see firsthand how the journals work and facilitate communication, but in the interest of the latter, I do have a question. For those who have already begun to develop their 'dreamotion' abilities, how have they expressed themselves? Do you find that they manifest in a way that reflects your personality or evoke something otherwise meaningful to you? I am quite curious to hear how this may vary between individuals.
Thank you for your time.

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.
