What do you do if you don't know where "home" is? If no one wants you, and you're stuck here anyway...
I've been thinking about the people I've left behind and keep wondering if I even want to go back. If they'd even really want me back.
I've never really belonged anywhere, and this place isn't all that different, but... at least there's someone who seems to care. But I thought that before, too.
I don't know what to think. I don't know why I'm even writing this.

It doesn't matter, and yet, it is all-encompassing. And that is why he finds himself awake at approximately 3 in the morning, drumming a pen against the edge of his journal. Finally, an anonymous post appears:]What is "love"?

Hello, everyone! The Date Auction certainly sounds like a lot of fun and I wanted to make sure you knew about one of the people who'll be up for bidding: Kratos.[
A basic sketch of Kratos appears after this. Yes, I'm too lazy to look one up It's definitely imprinted and not drawn by her.]
I've known him for a long time, and even if you've met him I'm sure he hasn't told you much about the kind of person he is!
You might have noticed this for yourself, but Kratos is very cool! He's always collected, even in difficult situations. He usually knows the right thing to do and to say in those moments too. If you're ever having trouble with something and need advice, you should definitely talk to him about it!
He's a very good fighter. Maybe you've gotten to see him on the battlefield here. Not only is he an accomplished swordsman, he's an excellent teacher! I've seen him instructing someone many times. He can stay in control of every situation and his methods work very well!
And I have to mention how dependable he is. Kratos is a very kind man who will help people when they need it. He stands by what he believes in while also being willing to listen and see things from another perspective.
The last thing you need to know is that he does his best when he's got other people with him. So please spend some time with him if you'd like! I know he'll appreciate it even if he doesn't say so.

Subject: Help a poor boy cook
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!]

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.
