Subject: War

I know this is a difficult subject for some so please move along if it is for you. But for those of you who have been in wars or battles (formal or not) - how do you deal with it after?

At least from my perspective it's not over yet, but... I don't have to fight here. I don't have to be afraid for the lives of myself or those around me. But the blood is still on my hands. The battles I fought still took their toll. Nothing seems to help. I've heard 'time will help' but that doesn't do anything for me now, when I need help.

I don't normally ask for help, but I'm at a loss here.

A moment of your time, if I may.

I seek the advice of anyone skilled in the usage of dreamotion magic, most especially those who made use of their own kind of magic before arriving here. Anyone is welcome to contribute what they know, of course. I'll take any advice into account.

I've managed to grasp the basics of how everything operates here, though I've found that the spells I've attempted have been erratic and inconsistent in nearly any situation, even if emotions are not a factor.

My request? Pray tell me if this is aught you've experienced or even similar. Normally I would work alone to pinpoint and fix my own shortcomings, but [Something was written here and then quickly scratched out, replaced with:] ah, never mind that. I'd like to hear what others have to say on the matter.

My thanks in advance.

[ This is not a message she ever wanted to write, but she's been putting it off for days now and she needs to get it over with. It's been awhile since Zelda's writing in the journals has been so tense and formal. ]

It brings me no joy to announce this, but as of today, I shall be taking over the administration of the Songerein Wikki Archives. The Archives have been a pillar of Reverein for nearly two years now and I intend to honor Trahearne's memory by ensuring its continued operation.

I thank each and every person who has contributed works to the archives and assisted in its growth over the years. To those seeking to submit their authored works, I ask you please wait patiently until this administrative transition is complete.

Any questions may be directed to me. Thank you for your time.

[Sorry, he's not going to put his "name" to something like this. It's awkward, and given that his "name" right now is just "Nameless Wanderer", he's pretty sure attaching it to this post would get people asking questions that aren't any of their business.]

Do you like your name? What does it mean? Who gave it to you? Would you change it if you could, and if you would what would it be?

I'm doing some research on names and why humans get so attached to them or don't.

I am seeking advice with regards to broaching sensitive matters with an acquaintance recently arrived in this world.

There is a certain topic I and my fellows have decided to keep from this person, for the sake of their own well being. However, as many of us have experienced, such secrets are unlikely to remain hidden in a realm where our inner thoughts are broadcast in such ways as through the lanterns and [...... these damn bubbles and petals.] other phenomena.

The topic in question is highly personal and may cause my acquaintance harm, which is why I would like to find a way to lessen such an impact. I may leave out details in any further explanation for the sake of their protection.

[... there. That's a step. That will probably get some helpful answers, right?]

A question, if I may... Does anyone look out to a formal settlement and find it altogether too dazzling at times? Or, mayhap even too much to trust that it is on offer with nearly no strings attached?

[ hm, likely not a great opener. Yuki tries again, maybe something lighter will work better. ]

Pray forgive the overly serious tone, I was once told to, as she put it, "LIGHTEN UP AND STAY IN THE HOUSE, STOP SNEAKING OUT AND SLEEPING IN THE GARDEN" before coming here.

Have you ever missed someone who hurt you on purpose?

[It'll be good to confirm whether he's alone on that, one way or the other.]

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for tuning in to 666 AM with me, your host and local Radio Demon, Alastor!

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Alastor! It isn't Saturday yet! You're spoiling us!"

Indeed I am, dear listeners, for I was approached by a very lovely lady who wanted to help get us all in the winter holiday spirit regardless of what specific winter holiday you in particular celebrate! I was so touched by her offer and enthusiasm that I saw no reason to deny her!

With all that out of the lady, do sit back and enjoy the performance of a lady who requires no introduction as she serenades us all!

[The music starts with thirteen tinkling bells. Then a very familiar woman begins singing, and anybody who has been around Reverein long enough realizes just who Alastor is allowing to perform on his station:]

[It's the Siren. She's back again for another year!]

It has been very interesting these past few days, trying to understand the nature of this dream world. Dreams, you see, are never this coherent. Often, they are like slimes—soft and squishy, malleable and ever changing in shape. But this world is more like a Hypostasis. It, too, can change form as it pleases, but it is far more rigid and predictable, and less prone to destruction. They are similar in nature, yet very different in reality.

But I digress. Though what sits before me is a journal, I am aware that this is a communication device, and I apologize for my initial paragraph. It felt more appropriate to start this message like a diary entry, or the beginnings of a story. Tales are often a great way to catch a reader's attention, or relate new information to them. I do hope that I've caught your attention.

My name is Nahida. I am one of the newly arrived to this dream world. I've been told much of this place already, but I find myself wanting to know more about its inhabitants; that is to say, you, who are currently reading this message. It is my hope that we could get to know each other and perhaps become friends, so to start, let me share a story about my world.

~~

Once upon a time, there lived a male Forest Boar in the rainforests of Sumeru. This Forest Boar was a peculiar one, for he never found any female boar attractive, so he lived his life in solitude, and was content to do so.

One day, the boar wandered too far into Shroom-kin territory and found himself beset by all sorts of Fungi. Try as he might, he could not fight all of them off, and was doomed to his fate. However, before he perished, a Geoshroom stepped in-between him and the other Fungi, pleading his case to its incensed kin.

The Geoshroom saved his life, and from then on, the pair were inseparable, traveling from one end of the rainforest to the other, exploring the world for its wonders and more. But alas, their joy was not meant to last forever. In a skirmish with a Rishboland Tiger, the Geoshroom was fatally wounded.

Though they vanquished their foe, they would no longer be able travel together. In his despair, the Forest Boar realized his love for the Geoshroom, and decided he would do whatever it takes to save the Geoshroom. It was then that his ardor provided him with the ability to change his form, and use his own body to sustain the Geoshroom.

Thus, the Shroomboar came to being; a union of two creatures that loved each other so dearly, they became one. They would go on to propagate, eventually becoming a commonplace animal in the rainforest.

~~

Did you find that interesting? I hope you did. Even if you didn't, I'm glad you read it all the same.

If you'd like to reciprocate, I would love to hear an interesting fact or story about the world that you come from. Or, if you'd prefer, I'd be happy to hear what you do here!

Thank you very much for your time.

Nahida

Subject: One Year Anniversary

Good evening everyone.

I haven't written in my journal for quite sometime. However tonight I'm feeling rather semimetal. It accord to me that this month marks my one year anniversary since being spirited away to this place. I can hardly believe I've been away for so long. I remember when I first arrived how badly I wanted to return. But now I... find myself wanting to stay. During my time here I have met so many wonderful new people, new friends', made beautiful memories that I fear I will lose when I eventually am forced to return.

I did return. Briefly.

Such an odd feeling. Waking up here as if my true home was the dreamworld. I am grateful that my memories of this place did not fade during my little vacation back to Hell. Which brings me to my query. Has anyone else experienced this? I am curious on how memories are stored while we're here. Perhaps there might be a way to retrain them once we leave.

Or, that is the hope at least.

You may have noticed Gen Asagiri asking people about their favourite ice cream flavours.

The reason being, is that we have embarked on an entrepreneurial venture.

I'm proud to announce Creamistry Ice Cream and Soda Shop.

Basically, I am bored and I want to experiment and Gen was hungry.

We make custom made sodas and ice creams, so if you want something no matter how weird and out there, you should let me know below and I'll work on a recipe.

We don't require anything in exchange, come try us out.

We'll change the menu every month, so give me your craziest ideas and we'll figure out how to make them work.

I hope I am using this thing correctly, if not I must beg your pardon and hope I have not inconvenienced you fine people too much.

I'd like to start of with saying it is not an urgent matter but I might have suffered a few minor burns that I should probably see too before too long. Is there any healing house here where I can have them treated?
