Week One

Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms.”
- Gaston Bachelard

Wherever you last went to sleep - or wherever you last remember being, because not everyone remembers sleep - it certainly isn’t anything like where you are now. The lights are bright, the colors loud, and the architecture vaguely Old European. There’s shops and lampposts and stairs before you, and a pair of tall wooden doors behind you that won’t open no matter how hard you try. You can see others, looking every bit as confused as you feel; among them is what looks to be a floating white bear with a pompom above its head, the only one who looks to be comfortable in this situation.

If you speak with the Moogle - because that’s what it is - it will tell you that you’ve arrived in Traverse Town, a place for wayward travelers with no other place to go, and that you are currently asleep; your dreams have brought you here. While you puzzle that out, it will also give you a bag of what it considers to be the essentials: a few coins that seem to be currency, a small glass jar filled with green liquid and a single yellow star floating in the middle, a small box that folds out into a screen and keyboard and allows communication, and a few brightly colored baubles. If you’re patient, it will teach you how to turn those baubles into an animal companion - a Dream Eater - of your very own. Beyond these basics, however, the Moogle has no answers for you, no matter what you ask or how desperate you are to know.

But where do you go now? Will you try to settle in this new town, or will you try to leave? Are there other places to explore, to travel? What happens if you run into Dream Eaters that aren’t so friendly? Can you get home? Only time will tell; for now, it’s best to choose a course and get going.

OOC

Welcome to the opening week of Revenance! Feel free to tag into the communal log we’ve set up; you’re also welcome to make your own logs or communicator posts. Please remember to hit up the Dream Eater post if you haven’t, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask a mod or review the FAQ.

To be a bit more specific, the bag the Moogle gives your character contains enough munny to stay in the hotel in District 2 for one night, a potion (which restores health if your character becomes injured), and enough dream pieces to make one Dream Eater. A list of currently available Dream Eaters is available on the Dream Eater page.

Setting information can be found on the Worlds page, to include maps and images of the areas. Your character will arrive near the large double doors at the entrance to District 1; this is also where the communal opening log will be set.

Feel free to introduce yourself in the OOC community if you haven’t already. Most importantly, have fun!
