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.

[The sender is listed as Ira, but anyone familiar with Ira will notice several key details about this journal entry. Particularly, the handwriting looks nothing like Ira’s, and the manner of speech is… well… not exactly his.]Greetings, people of Reverein. I am Master Ira, and I have a message for everyone. This is real hard for me to say, but I’ve been having a hard time here and could really use a friend or two.
[This doesn’t sound like Master Ira at all. That’s because, it’s not Ira at all, but Roxas. He snagged Ira’s journal after a sparring practice session and is currently writing as fast as he can in it, before he’s found out by said Master.]
I think it’s really important that everyone here has someone they can rely on when they’re feeling alone or struggling with things. While I’ve been here I’ve been doing my best to manage alone, but it’s starting to get to my heart. I’m feeling really bad because of it. I think it’s time for me to realize that I can’t force myself to deal with things on my own and that if I am struggling, I should reach out to others.
So, this is me. Reaching out to people. Because I need to learn it’s important to reach out to people when I need it. So, anyone out there looking for a new friend?
[ooc: both Roxas and Ira will be responding to this post. Feel free to specify if you want just Roxas or just Ira, otherwise it'll be random. Thanks to CS for writing this! ]

[Because of a certain conversation Sora is now attempting to defend his honour!]hey! it’s sora! or hi i'm sora!
there was someone last month who said i’m a troublemaker but i said i only cause trouble every once in a while and that doesn’t make me a fully-fledged troublemaker, right? i don’t cause trouble on purpose! only if i caused trouble on purpose would that make me a real troublemaker!
anyway he said that if i can find people who can vouch for me that i’m not a troublemaker at all he would believe me! can you help me out? you guys can tell him that i’m good news, right?? right? [Sora has never done anything wrong in his entire life!!]

Minus the other birthday boySubject: Dreamotion Request
I need someone to tell me how to make something.
Tomorrow is someone's 20th birthday and I need something different this year. Usually parties are a thing, but we sort of already had one even if it wasn't for this.
I don't want to do that and I don't want to do something gross and predictable.
My experience is limited on stuff like this.

Subject: Paopu Fruit
hey, did you guys notice the huge fruit tree that showed up near the new ocean? it's got big giant yellow star-shaped fruits growing from it that are called paopu fruit. they taste like a pineapple mixed with a pear. sounds pretty tasty, right?
there's also a legend back home about these fruits. i thought you might wanna know."If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what."
i've always liked that legend a lot. i don't know if it's true for sure but it's nice to think that if you share one with someone really special to you that you can always be a part of each other's lives. if that doesn't sound like love, i don't know what is. it might be nice to try it with someone sometime, huh? go for it!

you guys!!
so i was talking to Sora about how hot it was today and we thought to try and make an ocean with dreamotion. what was the worst that could happen, right? maybe we'd at least get a small lake or something to cool off in
but now there really is an ocean! we did it, we really made an ocean, with a beach and everything![They really didn't, it's all just a coincidence, but try telling him that.]

Hi everyone! :3 My name is Meilin Lee, but you can call me Mei! \o/ Nice to meet you!
So I've been here for like a month (wow!) and I've noticed one super huge important thing this place is missing.
SCHOOL.
Okay so hear me out : I know school isn't like FUN fun for everyone, but! Look at how many posts with people asking to be taught things or offering to teach people things? Plus, us newbies still need to know how to work all this dream energy emotion stuff, and it'd kinda be nicer to do it in a classroom setting instead of when I'm running for my life from a noctare.
Plus, what if when we wake up our minds are all tired and goopy from lack of knowledge? We gotta keep our brains energized!
Here's what we need for a good school -
A building with lots of room
Desks
Lockers
Chalkboards + chalk
Bookshelves
Teachers
There's probably a bunch of other stuff too but this is a work in progress! We should all work together on ideas to make this happen! I know we like a lot of money for it (and I still think it is SUPER WEIRD that dreams need money???) but maybe if we all pitch in a little at a time it'll all come together!
I'm open to any and all ideas!!!! I hope you all have a great day!!!! :DDD

[The writing is hurried, a cursive that just manages to be legible. In his rush, his usual formalities are cut short. The message is more important than the form it takes.]There is a demon in the wilderness — a bestial man. Powerful and violent, able to heal itself in an instant. Anyone unable to defend themselves should avoid the woods until

[Ferran isn't unaware of how these journals work, but he's still working out what pages are "public" and which are for his own private use.
Thus, one evening, a sketch of a building slowly comes together, distinguished by its tall stone towers, walls topped with battlements, wrought iron fences, and a large courtyard. The artist pays special attention to the detailing in the texture, making it easy to imagine what materials the imposing place might be made of. To those familiar with the city of Aefenglom, it's clearly a representation of the Coven.
After he's done, he writes in neat print:]Don't trust the Fae. Whatever else I've forgotten, I know that much.

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.
