This is Black Raisin Cookie.
Last time I used this method of communication, I got many helpful responses, so I'm hoping it will work again. During my time here, especially during the Flower Festival, it's been pointed out to me that I have difficulty... relaxing.
I don't know how to have fun here.
Normally, the things I do to have fun are chores. But given how small I am compared to everything and everyone, I can't do that here. I've been trying to master Dreamotion to change my size, but it's still a work in progress. My whole life, I've protected my village from dangerous creatures and intruders, so I've always been on guard and take things very seriously. But I don't need to do that here, and I have to admit, having this mindset isn't healthy.
Any suggestions are welcome.
As always, yes, I am actually a Cookie.

Just to take your mind off the weird vampire things:
What would your ideal Halloween costume be?[A pause in writing, because...]Before anyone asks, Halloween is a holiday where I'm from where you dress up in a costume. Some places, kids go door to door and get candy by saying 'trick or treat'. It was an old holiday that celebrated something else entirely, but now it's just a candy holiday with spooky stuff like... well, vampires and ghosts as decor.
...anyway. Maybe we can dream up some costumes that get rid of those dream vamps with some cool power, huh? Feel free to tell someone their idea is silly or cool though, I'm not your mom.

Continuing the theme of simple questions, my dear friends! But this one is for *research*. You'll see.
What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
And if ice cream isn't your thing - what is your favorite soda flavor? ^_^

[It's Wanderer, he just doesn't want people to know he's asking these questions.]What are some good gift ideas, if there is someone who keeps giving you gifts you want to recompense?
How can you tell if someone did something because it amused them, or because they wanted to be nice?

Good afternoon,
I hope I'm not bothering anyone but is there anyone who can help me cook? I know I would need to learn how to do it on my own eventually, but I don't know how.[NEvermind that Shinjiro can cook but he sure knows that he isn't going to be bothering him 24/7 over this!]

Subject: Dreamotion "Lessons"
With the current dreamotion distortion occurring all over and the number of times I've needed to assist those who lack understanding and experience, it would be prudent for there to be a "class" or "training session" for those who are new or need further assistance. If nothing else, learning the basics will help others to advance and develop on their own.
This is a call to any who are willing to help with this endeavor.
While I am willing to assist, I have other commitments that won't allow me to do more than offer start up support, organization if necessary, and advice and insight into using dreamotion. I'm sure there are those who are as or more capable than I, so I have no issue if someone else would like to take charge.
In the meantime, I can offer some private lessons or a one time public demonstration with others who would like to help, but that would be the extent of my involvement.
You are free to use this entry to ask questions and answer each other. Providing tips and advice may help those who have recently arrived. While there are some common trends and techniques, bear in mind that dreamotion will work differently and uniquely to the individual. What works for you might not for another.[Probably need to start a pamphlet... Someone get on that—][ooc: THREADJACKING ENCOURAGED. Threads can also switch to action if needed. As mentioned, this idea is free for anyone else to take over or help in a similar way because lmfao while Eustace is fine helping every now and then, he already has enough on his hands. One of which I've made a new OOC post for about the permanent residency. Some sign-up confirmations, some tasks and requests, and other things are there, so if you're still interested please look into it!]

except LinkSubject: Recipes
To my fellow residents of Reverein,
It seems time has gotten away from me and Goddess Day is already fast approaching. Goddess Day is a Hyrulean holiday that falls around the same time of year as [ What was the name of that holiday from last winter's dreamscape? ] Christmas, where we traditionally share gifts with our loved ones.
This year, I have decided to give a book of cooking recipes to my knight, Link. It seems he has an appreciation for cooking that equals his appreciation for eating! I thought at first to simply purchase such a book or acquire one from the wishing well in trade for one of my baubles, but then I devised a much better idea.
As there are many accomplished chefs among our number, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share a few of their recipes with me. I am especially interested in recipes that originate from your homeworld; I would love to compile a collection of recipes as diverse as our community. And the more challenging, the better! Link is far more skilled than I knew and I should not like to bore him with recipes designed for beginners.
With kindness,
Zelda, Princess of Hyrule
P.S. Kindly refrain from telling Link about this gift. Thank you.[ ooc; actual recipes optional! feel free to just describe what kind of recipe your character is sharing, if they're sharing one at all (sharing a recipe is also optional). ]

Subject: Regarding the content of dreams
Warning: Will update if any pop up!
Greetings.
I am Angela, a new arrival to this dream realm. While I have been informed of many of this place's unique properties, there are still several mysteries that I would like to delve into.
To that end, I would like to begin with a question: have you ever seen a place like this in your dreams before your arrival?
I also have another question, this one more out of personal interest: what is it that you normally dream about? I have never had a dream before, you see, and I'm curious as to how this may differ from the norm.
To those who answer, I thank you for your participation.

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.
