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!]

[The message will come across the journals in the morning of the 11th, and before Tifa already begins writing, there will be inky, smudged, and noticeably small paw prints decorating the corners of the page.] Hey Reverein. Tifa here! Eustace and I have another announcement to make. Two this time, actually.
First, some of you might already know this, but I've been wanting to open up my own place here in town. Been something of a goal of mine for a while, and now that the wedding's over, Eustace and I have been working on making it a reality.
Next month, we'll be opening up a bar and café just off the main plaza, and I'll be serving drinks, coffees, and food, but this isn't just going to be any café. Our plan is to turn this into a sanctuary for stray animals around town that might need a home, some food, or someplace to keep warm. Everyone will be free to meet the animals, and who knows... Maybe one of them will catch your love and attention, and they can find a more permanent, stable home.
Or, if you just like animals, feel free to come play and spend some time with them.
Look for a notice in your journals around this time next month! Hoping to have a grand opening when the time comes and see you all there, so be sure to stop by the Starflower Sanctuary and Café when we do![And last but not least...]We have some new additions to the family.( Surprise!!! Warning: Critical Levels of Cute )[
OOC: both are available to respond, but Tifa will mainly focus on inquiries about the café and Eustace will field comments on the puppies.]

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.
— Eustace[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!]

Subject: Healing Magic Lessons Starting November 26th
Good evening. I previously sent an enquiry regarding how to learn healing magic. I am pleased to announce that a method of utilizing dreamotion to cast healing magic has been devised, and that it can be learned by anyone regardless of origin or prior knowledge.
The ability to mend wounds and cleanse poisons is a valuable skill that can help us prepare for unexpected events. Dreamotion is an ubiquitous source of energy that can be tapped by any dreamwalker in this world. Everyone has the potential to cast healing magic using their own dreamotion as a magical source. However, not all of us are familiar with the nature of magic, or do not know how to channel it without prior experience. I have collated a variety of casting implements, processes, and advice from many magic users in our community. Practicing these techniques or using these items will aid in directing the flow of one's dreamotion to manifest as a tangible healing effect.
I will be hosting sessions every Saturday afternoon from 2pm to 6pm at the Music Studio for anyone keen on trying out these spellcasting aids. Any advice, constructive suggestions, and helping hands to host the lessons are also welcome. Please feel free to drop by. Refreshments will be provided.
Thank you for your perusal, and I wish all a pleasant night.
Phantom
[ OOC: The lessons focus on helping people focus their dreamotion and feelings towards producing curative effects! This can be through items like wands or books, through reading spell incantations, or through mental exercises that help the person think about positive feelings or wishes. Examples of all three will be provided at the lessons! Characters can come by to try out the various methods, or just to hang out.
The weekly lessons will be handwaved, so you can have your character pick up some basic wound healing or poison removing spells or skills through these classes. Characters who want to teach or contribute lesson materials are super welcome too!
Feel free to contact me via PM or on plurk ![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico) albumen for any clarification or plotting. ]

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.

Subject: Music Lessons
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

Good evening. I write to ask if there are any amongst us dreamwalkers who may be able and willing to teach the healing arts.
The ability to mend wounds and cleanse poisons is a valuable skill that can help us prepare for unexpected events. Owing to the varied forms of dreamwalkers, I believe that magic would be more effective, as well as more accessible, whether drawing from magical aptitude or from our own dreamotion energies.
Please let me know if you are interested in teaching. I can offer some compensation for your time. I also encourage fellow prospective students to write in, I shall keep you apprised of any developments.
Thank you for your perusal, and I wish all a pleasant sunset.

I have two inquiries to those who are familiar with magic.
RE: SEALING MAGIC
I'd like to know if anyone knows a way to cast some kind of sealing or restraining magic on an accessory or item that could be used to suppress one's own magic or curse. If need a more specific situation, an emergency case where one's powers are running out of control and needs to be contained. The ideal goal would be that it could affect nightmare energy, but that might be more difficult without further knowledge.[He is definitely asking for specific reasons, but good thing there have been several occasions where things went wildly out of control last month that it won't seem too random.]RE: TELEPORTATION MAGIC
Similarly, I wish to create some kind of portal that would allow me to easily traverse between my home and other locations that I currently own with potential to add on in the future. [Because it's about time he just accepts he owns these dogs and getting to the Corgi Tree and the Flowers home more instantaneously would be ideal. Though already future proofing? What could he be considering...] Ideally it would be a door with a function to change the location.
This might be a complicated request, if it's even possible, but even just information on how it might work will be appreciated.[He'll get his portal door one way or another—]Thank you.

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.
