[ Sorry, everyone for this early wake up call, but Sheena's just had another nightmare, and is reacting without thinking.

And hitting the "video" button without realizing, revealing her shaken and disheveled state. ]


Okay. Just what the hell is going on with these dreams?!

[Valdis woke in a panic, to emotions not her own and she wondered briefly if this was what X had felt once the shock had worn off. But she didn't make any moves until she was sure of herself again, taking time to pick apart the dream and remove herself from it.

That hadn't been easy. The turmoil of the crew, the black, oily shadows that twisted with their own life. Far too reminiscent of darker things. Had some creature from the Death Plane managed to reach through a breach? And if so, was this some kind of warning? As someone who could not dream without some power at work, she had long since stopped discounting them.

It was still dark outside when she turned on her video stream.]


Has anyone else had strange visions tonight?

[Her voice is steady, more certain than she feels, but Valdis refuses to allow dread to overwhelm her.]

I tried to sketch what I remember, but it's more the feeling of it that I can grasp. A sense of fear and...a black, oiled shadow that seems to move on its own.

[It was that oily shadow that bothered her the most.]

And a name...Nerrin.

[ Minutes ago, there had been a scream as Ilda jolted awake. And in the dark of the night she'd panicked, the sight of the not-quite-familiar room making her think that she was still in the jungle, with the inky mass of... something trailing menacingly right behind her.

She'd stumbled out of bed and out of the room, her new roommates momentarily forgotten.

When she'd finally sent out a message, she was up on the roof, hugging her knees, tears streaming down her face. ]


H-Help.

[A ponderous, quiet sound of crystal tinkling against crystal comes through the feed for a moment or two before someone takes over. It's a deep, androgynous voice, calm and somewhat light, as if with no concerns to speak of.]

I think that display earlier in the month taught us all a little bit more about these "talents" we grasp in coming to this world, huh? But I wonder if anyone knows even more than that yet. Do you think Dreamfolk past have written about this for us?

A strange thing happened recently, too. I felt as if I'd been leaving aside this so-called talent of mine, almost...but in my absence from it, it seems to have become ten times as powerful. It seems like even a neglected talent can flower unexpectedly.

Now I'm wondering whether all the people training so hard earlier this month know that as well. [There's a slight, rolling laugh before the message ends, with another shimmering sound like falling ice.]

[The Fool has, at last, discovered a good reason to make use of this particular aspect of Aifaran technology. Included in this particular post is a photograph of several pieces of woodwork, ostensibly carved by the Fool's own hand. It is accompanied by an offer.]


Hello, dear friends--and dear acquaintances.

I should think it goes without saying that we Dreamfolk left much of ourselves behind us in our old worlds when we arrived in Konryu. For some I imagine that is a blessing, and a curse for others--and for others still, like so often is the case, the feelings are more complicated than that.

It is with this thought in mind that I would like to extend to each of you a kindness: a small, wood-carved token of remembrance, representing the world that you came from, or something of that world that you cherish.

If this offer is of interest to you, please either respond here, or seek me out at my apartment above Die Rosa Tulpe.

[Padparadscha is lying around on the common room couch in Breakwater Wing, looking like they've been considering something. There's still that ever-present air of amusement to their look, though, like it's not something very serious to them.]

So, with so many of us from different worlds, there must be many different methods we use to decorate ourselves and our homes, right?

I wonder if you could tell me what kinds of things you treat gems with in your worlds - the things you use on them to protect them, or hone them. Or even just what you do with them. I keep getting worrying comments off these "salespeople" of yours.

[From the deep laugh they give after that last remark, it's not actually very worrying, just funny.]

Do any of you paint stones? Does it damage them? [They're not going to paint their own surface anytime soon, but they do want to talk to the scientists here sometime about substitutes for their powder, and something more waterproof like this "paint" they have here would be nice.]

Thank you, those of you who helped me when I first arrived. I don't think I caught any of your names, or I would contact you personally.

[Kei looks much calmer, his hair neatly combed, every visible piece of his suit in place. That said, there's a barely detectable waver in his voice.

The use of video is very much intentional - he hadn't been in a state of mind to give his name to anyone when he'd first arrived in Aifaran, and he wants to be recognized.]

Good afternoon to everyone - it is a pleasure to meet so many new people, and I am glad to have the privilege to see old friends once again, even if the circumstances are not entirely ideal.

[Circumstances being that they've been brought back to Konryu, many against their wished, 566 years into the future but Klaus fights vampires for a living. A little world hopping a time travel is nbd]

For those I haven't met yet, I am Klaus Von Reinherz. I am sure it will be a pleasure to make your eventual acquaintance. Before being brought to Aifaran, I was formerly the proprietor of the Midnight Hotel in Keeliai which I inherited from the previous owner, Mr. Anton Shudder.

While not much seems to have survived of the establishment, some of you may remember the spirit house in the lobby and the ever replenishing jar of coffee beans. I'm happy to say that both somehow made it over with me.

[And his rather severe expression seems to brighten considerably because here is the prospect of not spending his days wading through other people's blood.]

Which brings me to my next point - I am considering opening an establishment. Perhaps a sort of mix of a cafe and a flowershop? I have always thought a nice beverage and snack is better enjoyed in the presence of beautiful flowers, and it has always been a dream of mine to make a living with horticulture. Of course I will have to find the premises and do the necessary paperwork to run such an establishment but I would like to gauge interest among both potential customers and employees first.

Would such a place be interesting to you? Have you any suggestions that would make it so? I am very much open to others' opinions.

I'm starting to think these World Turtles have a fascination with using people's souls as cosmic currency in some way or another.

[ Someone's grouchier than usual today. And apparently uncaring about the hypocrisy of him presenting this particular argument. ]

That's the only reason I can think of for why they're continually attaching ours to some kind of tangible reminder: first lanterns, then jewels, now being marked like a gods-damned heifer at market.

At least no one should be able to swallow these tattoos, unlike the gems-- and before anyone asks, yes, that's a thing someone tried once.

ALL OF YOU, STOP BROADCASTING!!!!!!

[ The screen is filled with. A face. And just a face. But it is an extremely important face, as it belongs to Shikyoin Hibiki. Those who do not understand the importance of this fact....should. And shall, soon.

Hibiki draws back from the screen to continue her fit of pique. In her usual environment she'd just tell the room of people she keeps on hire in her house to call complaint hotlines to do something about this, but deprived of that resource, she'll just. Vent. ]


This is a public venue! Whatever it is you haven't received a respite from, spew your frustration in private where it doesn't clutter up other people's lives!!

[ She heaves a stoic and long-suffering sigh. ] To have attracted such a discordant medley of visitors.....this puniverse is even more inscrutable than I'd thought.

[Now that they've figured out how to use this device to show their image, Padparadscha considers whether it's wise to introduce themselves to the Dreamfolk at large like this. On one hand, in-person is always a better gauge of the kind of person someone is. But this seems very similar to in-person anyway.

It's in the midst of this wondering that they discover the mark on the base of their spine, and though they could probably just ask one of the helpers...well, there's no problem in gauging how much the others know about how things work here.

When the video feed flicks on, Padparadscha raises a hand in greeting, a faintly amused look on their face.]


This is a funny little instrument, isn't it? But actually, I have a question. [They hold up a piece of paper, with the marking of the Destruction talent drawn on it.] I found this on my body just now, and it doesn't seem like it'll come off. Have any of you found something like it?

[Zelos is Not Happy.

There's a very good reason for this. Those who knew Zelos 566 years ago can probably guess what it is. For those who can't, enjoy video of a grumpy redhead on your screen, impatiently adjusting the camera view so that you can see all of him.

He snaps his fingers.]


Hey. Giant turtles. I know you're out there somewhere. What's the big idea!?

[Glare.]

This is your idea of helping? I ask to go home, and you put me on hold for 500 years? What's the point of that? What kind of omnipotent turtle can't even send one handsome guy back across countless dimensions so he can help his friends save the world!?

[Bad service, that's what it is. Bad service.

Whether or not the giant turtles are at all capable of processing the message, it looks like just getting the anger off his chest helps Zelos calm down; he audibly breathes out, runs a hand through his hair, and shakes his head.]


Did this happen to anyone else? Raine, Sheena, Kratos? You guys still here?
