[It's rather late at night when the journal clicks on. Luke had waited until he had calmed down from the nightmare he had to make the post, and good thing, too. Otherwise it'd catch the tremor he surely had in his voice.

Instead, he merely sounds subdued, and maybe a little hesitant.]Does anyone have any good stories to tell

[One more for the insomnia crowd. Sigh.]

...Perhaps dream leaves would help.

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

Dream leaves? Is that some kind of tea or something?

[Voice]

[acuitas]

It can be brewed in a type of tea. You'd have to be careful not to use tainted leaves though.

[He doesn't even know if they have any here. This makes him want to check...]

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

... How can you tell if it's tainted? [He's never heard of tainted tea leaves before.]

[Voice]

[acuitas]

If they give you nightmares instead of pleasant dreams.

[...WELP.]

...

That doesn't really help much.

[Voice]

[acuitas]

...

I know.

They are only tainted when the Dream Tree is ill, so I do not think you have to worry about that.

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

Oh... Then there probably aren't any of them here.

[...]

The Dream Tree's from your world, right? How did the tree get ill?

[Voice]

[acuitas]

A monster cursed the Dream Tree and the village.

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

A monster...

[Huh. This is sort of like a story on its own here.]

What happened to the village? How did everything get cured?

[Voice]

[acuitas]

People could not navigate the forest surrounding it, and the villagers closed the town gate so the curse would not spread. Furthermore, the inn inside the tree was closed off as well.

We had to defeat the monster inside a sort of...dream world to cure the tree.

[He's still not sure how it really happened.]
