video 001 ∂ Welcome to Somarium

[meanttobemama]

[ An amused face appears on your Dreamberry screen. While this may not be a device that is familiar to Ray, she's had enough experience with mecha and technology to be able to figure out the basics of what this thing does. ]

[ For one, she knows that she's somehow managed to broadcast her face somewhere (she's not quite sure where and who's able

Somarium.

[ Quite the talker, aren't you? Ray is raising an eyebrow at you, 'cause she's never heard of this Somarium before ]

And where, exactly, is Somarium?

It's a dream world, if you want to be technical. Your real body is asleep right now, or at least it should be.

So then, this is a dream? [ Funny, her dreams are usually more eventful. And Charles is almost always in them... ]

And you are...?

[1blackcat]

Did you just arrive? This place is called Somarium. It's... something like a giant shared dream. A very long dream.

[meanttobemama]

[ Well, aren't you a cute little boy? Who is rambling about things that don't make sense... ]

A shared dream?

[1blackcat]

That's right. It's... difficult to explain. [Sheepish smile.]

In summary, people from all worlds and places in time can be found here. There doesn't seem to be a way to make yourself wake up, but when you do, everything in your home world will be as you remember it.

[meanttobemama]

How interesting... So, I'm basically stuck in this dream until my real self decides to wake up, then?

[ This is the first time she's heard of such a thing. ]

And what place and time do you come from, if you don't mind my asking?

[naivelysanguine]

Oh, you must be a new arrival!

[A bright smile.]

I'm afraid you're not home anymore. You're in a place called Somarium.

[meanttobemama]

[ So she's heard... this is Somarium, it's a dream, there are others like her stuck here. That's really about all she knows ]

Are you from around here?

[naivelysanguine]

Oh, goodness no! I've only been here about two months now, myself.

Getting here's the easy part, since you just have to fall asleep at home or...
[She trails off, not wanting to say 'or you die', just in case this woman suffered such a fate before arriving.]

Leaving, I'm afraid, isn't quite as simple.

[meanttobemama]

[ She's sounding pretty amused ] Even though this is supposed to be a dream, I'm assuming I can't just go around doing anything I want to, right?
