Subject: Sign Language and Medical/First Aid learning
Good afternoon everyone! My name is Shigeru Miyata and I've been wondering since I got here about a few things. I know there are a few of us here that can't speak...so we're mute, and for us communicating is harder than normal as you can imagine. The dreamotion does make it a bit easier but I know for myself that sign language is my preferred means of communicating.
I want to know if...people would be willing to take some classes and learn sign language from me? And I guess while I'm at it, I'd also like to extend the offer to teach people first aid and medical training. Since I'm not sure if there are any other doctors or medically trained personnel around. If there are please don't hesitate to come to talk to me! I was thinking of opening up a clinic of some kind in the future and would love to have people help out if at all possible.
With all that said I hope everyone is having a nice day and I look forward to hearing from people!
Thank you for taking the time to read this! (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*

Subject: Songerein Archives and Wikki Initiative
It has come to my attention that there is a critical lack of easily accessible information on Songerein itself. While I appreciate the contributions of those who have already shared their experiences over the journals, much of it is contained to private channels or simply too difficult to find again once enough time has passed (the newly awakened might not even know that one can flip back further than seems possible). This makes our information fragmented, which is no help if we are to better arm ourselves with knowledge to fight back against Nightmare.
I've taken the initiative to secure a spot for a physical archive building by the river near the Tree of Stories. This will serve as a central location for factual information on Songerein, where all of us dreamwalkers can submit information that everyone can freely access.
We need information on everything. If that sounds too broad, then here is a basic list:
A history of Songerein and Reverein, how the realm has evolved, ESPECIALLY from those of the first wave of awakened (there is no guarantee they will be here forever, and their input is invaluable as their experiences cannot be replicated).
A directory of shops and other establishments in Reverein, when certain districts were added, from what worlds the shopowners hail, etc.
Dreamshifts. What it feels like, what sort of experiences you've had, etc. While we can view past dreamshifts at the observatory now, it is no replacement for living through the event as it was happening.
Dreamotion energy. How it is created, how it manifests, effects, applicable uses.
Dreamwalking. I urge you to reference Ira's inquiry.
Noctaere. Both foreign entities created entirely out of nightmare energy and those who have been corrupted by Nightmare. Their weaknesses, effective countermeasures, etc.
Nightmare energy. What it feels like, how it manifests, etc.
The Story Eater. I also urge you to reference Emet-Selch's inquiry.
The wildlands. Maps (even outdated ones - how they've changed is also crucial information), flora, fauna.
The wastelands. Same as above.
Any relevant information from your home realm you feel might be applicable.
If you do not wish your authorship to be known, then you are welcome to submit information anonymously. I realize that this is a barrier when it comes to sharing over journals (I am aware an anonymous function exists, but not everyone will).
Only by working together can we protect ourselves against the Nightmare and the noctaere. Only from a solid factual basis can we start synthesizing theories and putting in place actionable plans.
I've named this initiative after Noble Prize-winning Priory Scholar Wikki, who went through similar efforts to document Tyria in meticulous detail. As Marshal of the Pact, I see her work as a key endeavor in uniting our people. I can only hope the same for Songerein.

(( ooc: Your character can wander over to the new archive building to pick up a pen and paper to write their own wiki archive entry! Any entry submitted will be accessible to anyone living in Songerein, where it will hopefully remain forever. Trahearne thanks you sincerely for your contribution! ♥ ))

[After about a day or two of dealing with the entire town changing suddenly and a little bit of anxiety regarding the following subject...]So this is the second time I've found somebody in a dead sleep I can't get them out of, and I was wondering if anybody else has seen it happen? It doesn't seem like it hurts them or they need anything special, but it can be kind of alarming to come visit a friend and they're just lying there and won't wake up for days. For the record, the last time it happened, my friend came out of it fine as far as I know, but she's not here anymore, so I can't ask her more about it.
[It's probably a good thing he already went through this or the panic might have had... a very bad effect on him, as he is now. Anyway...!]I guess if anybody needs Prince Hans, they'll have to take a rain check. I can take any messages for him.
And if someone could let me know how to take care of a horse, that would be great. I'd like him to not have to worry about his poor animal when he wakes up.

We continue to be in changing times. More bodies arrive. Things adjust. Days adapt. We evolve. I am acutely aware of the growing number of issues in our recent days. I support the notion of a council to deliver swiftly the consequences for those who would disrupt the way of life here.
I wish to propose an addition—
It seems it would be beneficial to provide preventative measures to otherwise ward against such happenstances. I served as my queen's military general in the world I hail from, though was also tasked with the guardianship of her, my princess, and the town in which I served. It is my belief that those of us with similar ability to defend and protect ought to do so for those who cannot.
I motion the addition of a properly-established guard, for protection of local citizenry. This may also be able to extend to other practises, such as escorting those who require assistance into dangerous or unexplored territories. It is likely that this would offer other advantages to the whole of society here as well.

Recovering from having a creature climb into my heart and take a few big nibbles is a terrible nameday gift. Would not recommend. 0/10.
So I aim to recover the lost time and beg to the masses for a moment of their time! Just a teeny-tiny moment.
First, context: I have an ability I wish to share with the class that is a little hard to explain. I can hear music in the world. Every battle I've fought, every time I go hunting, and even while I cook, I can hear a sort of music in the air. If you've ever attended an opera or any other stage play, it's a bit like that but in real life. Everyone I've met seems to have 'theme music' that I somehow am able to hear, and I'd like to listen to more of it. I'll even sing it or play an instrument to you if you're curious as to what plays when you arrive.
On top of learning new songs and stories to sing, I also obviously enjoy dancing. I'd love to know the dances from your culture! Please, even if you don't dance very well, I would still like to see it and try it myself.
Lastly, I'd like to thank the fine dreamers of Reverein for their help thus far toward the opening of the Lady of Bliss. It's going along swimmingly! I'm still on target, but a girl needs a day off.

Notes: Based on
an AU idea and thus deviates from canon. Susato "inherits" Kazuma's resolve upon his mysterious death and faces some opposition in trying to take his place in Great Britain.
( a dream is a wish your heart makes )[ Susato's eyes spring open to the familiar darkness in her room. Even as memories of the dream start to fracture and fade, she tries to make sense of everything she just saw. None of that actually happened, right? Yet somehow, it didn't feel too far off the mark, and she can't seem to decide whether she is thankful for that, or woefully disappointed.
She's never had her dream recorded before, but rather than act embarrassed or ashamed, she just shuts her journal with an apologetic sigh to no one in particular.
Instead, she grabs another journal--a normal one--along with a quill, and starts writing down anything she can remember. ]

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.
