2013

NOVEMBER network 11/05: Talks with Sheena for the first time, giving some information—well as much as he knew. They then swap notes about their worlds. 11/08: Jude had a dream about home, which included a giant hose of mabo curry being blasted into Milla's mouth. Alvin tells Jude he can have breakfast, but while waiting, Jude discovers his family's clinic suddenly across the street from the tavern. The two investigate, wondering how this happened and taking a few things back to test them out. Upon returning, however, all of Alvin's hard work had been gobbled up by Milla. Needless to say, he was not happy. 11/12: Alvin asks the community at large if there had been other times where buildings from dreams appeared in Somarium. Peony: Hasn't seen any, but they talk about Jude a bit at the mention of artes. Hot springs are also brought up. Liz: Hasn't seen anything yet. Mukuro: Informs Alvin that it's happened when "the world is at its most desolate." There wasn't too much concrete information, but the question of whether it was all real or an illusion was brought up. Also brought the concept of everything already in the world, including food, was made of dream energy so it might not matter where it came from. Glen: It's happened before, but the last time was when Somarium blew up—which is the first time Alvin had heard of it. Anyway, city was rebuilt by their dreams. Jude: Due to Naomi becoming younger, Jude had been unable to do much testing except confirming that the food was the same as real food. Just not sure if also made of dream energy. He also informs Jude of what he's found so far. They really get surprised about Somarium being blown up... Yvaine: Also confirming that Somarium had been rebuilt by dreams after it had blown up. Some talk about how no one knew about it and more discussion about the lack of REM. Naomi: Wa-hey there, she's back to normal! There's some talk of cards before Naomi informs Alvin about a river of fire that had appeared outside of Somarium not too long ago that was apparently from someone's dream. She then later recalls other past incidents she had been told about, such as the rebuilding. More theory postulating as to how dream energy works. Twilight Sparkle: Dude, talking purple horned horse what. Learns about the different types of ponies. 11/14: Milla had a dream of when she was little and playing with the Four. This was weird for Alvin to see for a variety of reasons, but that's pushed to the side when he learns that apparently the Four are now in Somarium, along with Milla's shrine. 11/14: Leia asks for sparring partner. But she shot Ragna through a roof... ...Leia... 11/15: There are orange robots rolling around. Tieria needs to loosen up. log 11/10: A guy named Lockon Stratos (totally an alias) had made a call while out injured with a robot called Haro. Alvin checks in on him through the Dreamberry and when Lockon expresses desire for a drink, he offers his services. Once he's healed up, of course. 11/12: Naomi used the aged down card and she fell on top of Alvin at the library. Definitely not the kind of personality he expected. 11/14: Peony had an interactive dream about when he and Jade were kids throwing snowballs. Alvin didn't dreamwalk but he saw the dream. Jokingly calls them cute as they were kids, but when he asked about the woman, didn't get much answers. Clearly this meant something. 11/15: Alvin overhears Jude talking with Yogi about newly discovered rappigs. He steals the Dreamberry and eventually Peony comes in when he talks about making meals out of them. Peony eventually names one after Alvin (and Jude, too) in attempts to dissuade him, but not happening. He does get a bit disturbed by the rather close affections Peony gives to the named rappig. Later, Jude and Alvin check out the rappigs Yogi found. He tries to capture a few, though it doesn't go easy. voicemail 11/13: Peony calls in to talk about potential hot springs excursion and Jude pranking. 11/15: Jade informs Alvin about Peony and his bad naming sense.

OCTOBER network 10/02: Milla arrives into Somarium, so Alvin is quick to respond to her call. Even if all he could see were her lips at first. So he gives her a brief introduction to the Dreamberry before going to meet her in person. 10/10: Alvin asks the community why people stay around a dysfunctional city rather than leave. Nightwing (Dick): Lack of transportation is one of the big issues. Learned a bit more about how the time lapse and memory works (Dick had gone back to his world; 5 years passed there, 1 year passed in Somarium). No one stays dead, either. Also does not believe that "Ulysses Nightwing Grant" is his real name. He'll figure it out one day. Naomi: Tons of info from this chick. Dream energy, REM, and apparently she wants to investigate some facilities. Since he's interested, he volunteers to come with. Ritsuka: Apparently they overstayed their welcome in another city, so that's a huge dissuading factor right there. Sounds like other cities are in a similar state. Also has been there for four years, yeesh. Alvin learns about how a lot of "bad things" happen pretty much once every month, especially of nightmare proportions. Bane: Creepy mask guy is creepy. Tali: More info about how difficult traveling really is and talk of airships! Except they can't really use those to head out because of said difficulty. Plus people like it here and they all get along well enough. But why are they letting someone called "Death the Kid" lead? Seriously that name alone should raise a few flags. too bad I can't playercest lol sobbing. "Anon" (Kasumi): Only been able to leave the city once. No other means of communicating to other cities. And then some random banter about being anon and identity. "Anon" likes how he looks at least. Otherwise, he may have a stalker. Hm. Rolo: Some talk of spirits, mana, and how Alvin fights. Sealand: Talk of Ob Holm and a little introduction about noctaere. 10/20: He overhears Milla talking with Kid about the Nightwalker invasion. Gonna team up and FIGHT. 10/22: Nightwing offers training sessions and tells about his skills. There are a lot. Alvin offers to help with any sword learning, but otherwise he can handle himself. Might learn a few new things though. 10/25: While Alvin is off helping finding a cure, Milla is talking about Halloween. What. Anyway, he also learns that Jude and Leia had arrived into Somarium. 10/28: Ragna is an angry dude. 10/29: The girl's name is Panty. And she's an angel. Say what. Anyway, she's co-hosting the Halloween party with Milla, and he can tell that she's one while chick. Angel. Thing. 10/30: Alvin questions Jude about Milla's decorations. Especially the scarecrow. Which actually gets loose and they have to somehow wrangle it back in. He then proceeds to tell of lecture Milla about it. log 10/02: Reuniting with Milla is quickly proven to be an interesting one because she comes from an earlier time than him. So after going to the tavern that he randomly found earlier and sharing a few (unfortunately warm) bottle of beer, he tells Milla of what happened up until her recent memory. He also learns of Jude's bedwetting problems. 10/04: Red String Event with Serenity. Meets her at her school and they just talk and chat. 10/11: Going through some REM facilities with Naomi, they make a few interesting discoveries. One of which being that everything was stripped to the bone. That's not suspicious at all. They also find some documents that list other potential facilities and buildings to check out. 10/20: Alvin and Milla kick some Nightwalker ass and create a new Linked Arte: Divine Pulse. 10/24: Naomi and Alvin are back to research facility diving, this time looking for a cure. They score a bit of a jackpot. Samples of concentrated dream energy, research notes and information about its use in medicine, and the potency of it along with nightmare energy. 10/27: After the final battles and injections of cure, Alvin stopped by the hospital to get himself treated. Of course he decides to do this by himself and ends up failing. Jude finds him and they reunite, with Jude healing him. They then catch up a bit and Alvin has to show Jude how to open a can of soda. He also tells Jude to talk to Naomi since she was the head doctor. Before departing he suggests the group should live together and offers the place he had found. But before they can, he has to talk to Leia, whom he actually meets outside the hospital. It's awkward, but after catching up a bit he makes the same offer. Of course she needs some time to think, which is fine with him. He'll just crash at the tavern. Small steps, but it's progress. 10/29: First meeting of Peony and Jade. And yes, he did somewhat ask if they were "together." Anyway, he imparts some info and there's some talk about artes. Apparently their world uses them, too, but not spirit artes. He defers them to Milla, which results in Peony getting a bit interested. Ha ha ha ha. 10/31: A frack ton of Halloween Party threads. Tending the bar. "Grim Reaper" (Kasumi): Creepy reaper is creepy, but good costume. Person has a voice changer so he has no idea who it is, but manages to a glimpse under the mask to see rather feminine lips and a tattoo, though. Talk a bit about their situation in Somarium and mention of Reavers. Not cool things. Peony & Jade: Meets Peony and Jade in person for the first time. He learns that Peony is a politician and is able to guess that Jade is working for him. Milla: Letting her experience a few more drinks and then teaches her a few basics in mixing some. Naomi: Actually getting to meet without having to dig through facilities for info, hurrah. She mistakes him for someone named "Cunningham," though. Some talk of Jude and how the education is different in Rieze Maxia. Refers her to Milla for spirit talk. Talk of the tavern. Talk of traveling to different worlds. Talk talk talk. Milla & Jude: Milla is very drunk. There are many shenanigans, such as Alvin getting splashed with a glass of water and Jude just getting Splashed. (the latter was totally recorded on the Dremaberry) HEY JUDE!: The Beatles song played and of course Alvin called out to Jude about it. Much teasing was had and then Alvin tells Jude to go out and dance and have fun. He fails. After Alvin proves that he at least knows how to dance, Panty is chosen as Jude's dance teacher. It went great (and was recorded). Until Leia comes in after Panty goes a bit too crazy on Jude. A catfight almost happens, but Alvin is able to stop it momentarily. He then later has to fetch Jude (why'd you run away, boy) to get it all settled and then they all just have fun dancing. Except Alvin. He has a bar to tend. "Grim Reaper" (Kasumi): Accidentally bumps into the Grim Reaper. WILL HE PULL OFF THE MASK AND FINALLY FIGURE OUT WHO THIS IS????
