[Short and hurried scribbles, but it's a message in the journal anyway.]I thought I saw tracks a while ago and I was right! Guys, there are chocobos here!
Be back in a bit, I'm going to get some greens!

( Frisk is someone of very few words. To them, it's far easier to listen, than it is to talk - but when they do talk, they don't have much to say. At the least, text is easiest for them when it comes to communicating. )There are some small monsters that appeared that might hurt others.
Don't hurt them. There are other ways to ask them to stop.

Hate to bring you all down from the festivities, but some of us aren't exactly around any more.
I suppose the dark icky dream monsters that have got everyone so flustered could have got them. Imagine! Going out alone in the night like that. Brrr!
...Or maybe they got out and left us behind to fend for ourselves. Either way, it's pretty useless to speculate.
So! I suppose a roll call's in order. Name and origin world seems the most helpful. Lots of you came in groups, right? Or you made friends quickly. So spill.
I'll go first. Shoka Sakurane, from earth. Her place is abandoned, and she hasn't been seen for 2 weeks now.

WARNING TO ALL RESIDENTS: An enemy from a world several of us came from is possibly here in the Dream World with us. It can shapeshift, potentially enter dreams and corrupt individuals, as well as control creatures known as Erasers. Caution is absolutely necessary. More details below.
( Case File: The Story Eater )If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. I'm sure the others who were with me could add more.
[NOTE: This is an announcement regarding the Story Eater, the main "antagonist" of the game
forgottentales that is directly related to Songerein. Since it's confirmed to appear again, here's an IC notice for everyone so that whenever the mods start incorporating it into the game, the characters won't be completely blindsided! Other characters from FT will be around to respond to this post.]

Hey guys! That was a crazy feast. All that was missing was some good alcohol, but those tapirs really know how to throw a party.
Anyway, I was thinking and we don't really know much about this place or what's outside the town. Since we'll need to start heading into the forests for hunting and gathering other resources, was thinking of heading out to check it out. Plus aren't these fae things our neighbors now? Or I guess we're their new neighbors...? Can't hurt to see what's there.
There are also those redcaps we need to deal with if we want any iron. I'm not sure about anyone else, but as a swordsman I definitely have a vested interest in that.
...And maybe I want to see how tough they are, haha.
Yeah, okay, I just want to see what kind of tough monsters are out there, heh. Not that I want to make enemies out of allies, but never hurts to know what kind of threats there are, right? Who knows, we might be helping them out, too.[No, he just wants to find the biggest and strongest thing there is and fight it.]Speaking of, if anyone needs a sparring partner, I'm your daemon. I'm curious to see how my skills stack up against those from different worlds.[ooc: everyone can threadjack and thread with each other to share or discuss any other ideas! I also have an OOC planning post of sorts for players to chime in with suggestions.]

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.
