First i went to bed (i saved in the parent's room last time) and i felt her there. Wether it was Mari, or Dream Mother, i was uncertain...

Something was lurking... Deep within the mind...

Everything was normal in White Space, so, with a quick ready, i stepped through the door to MindSpace.

Sunburn is still not the worst ship, but doesn't fit right...

are they aware when SUNNY wakes up? does he just disappear to them...?

After receiving an allowance of 750 Clams, we head out back to Mari at the playground. Everyone acts as if Basil is the key to their life... {Are they wrong though?} After a quick pep talk from Mari, we start our outing for the day Night.

After a quick... encounter of sorts, with Berly and Van, Aubrey gained 50 JUICE! :0

I received a (re)quest for a "Flower Puzzle"

On our way to the forest, we encountered a group of Lost Sprout Moles who bump into us. After a swift dealing of "Self Defence" we found Show Tickets. (how convenient)

I watered the gardens in Basil's absence...
Omori gained a total of 4 Heart!
Aubrey gained 1 heart!

Basil's house seemed to be sinking... the area grotto dying with it...

We went to the train station, there we met a bunny hater.
We have killed 20 so far...

So he gave us 1 Cotton ball!

I gave Gibs the stationary musician 5 clams for some music...
(The dream world has many parallels with the waking world...)

<Basil can wait, right?>

We decided to board the train with the tickets CSB gave us.
the train ride was... uh... Interesting...
(what was it sorry for... Who...?)

After that... encounter, We arrived at Orange Oasis!

We found a Pluto Station!
We found a treasure map! :0

A very tall dino needs to be scratched, that can't be hard to do, right?

We found Mari and had a picnic.

> Bread slice strat is the way for infinite heal items -w-

I learned the secrets of the wall faces!
I find a glimmering spot in an orange (juice) pond, and...!

I found Rain Town!

After a quick picnic with Mari, we hear that the town has a mild inconvenience, in that the rain valve is too open! Only the "Chosen One" may fix this!
uhm... oops...
(after a quick time warp back a minute) the town is saved!~

I got a Veggie Kid!

I itched the dino's scratch and got a Hard Hat!
(wait i said that wrong)

I went to the dino dig
*i got the pyramid key first dig.*
after a quick near-death encounter with a freaking celery, we decided to just dig what we could as fast as possible... (definitely too low level rn...)

After escaping that currently death trap, i flipped over a *quaso*
I got 100 clams from what i thought was a melon, but in fact was a small cactus.
I met a man on fire who gave me motivation. And Hero a skill.

Seeing as how there was nothing more we could do (safely) here, we rid the train back, and talked to the Bunny Hater again...

For having a bunny kill count of 30...
We got Bunny Ears!

After looping across the bridge, we climbed the ladder that was in Pinwheel Forest.

after i reached into a weird hole in the ground i felt someone hold my hand... huh...

We challenged the Kite Kid after a quick picnic and Won!
First try! All Out Finisher!

we Flew kites briefly, before heading out to do our actual mission: finding basil...

We head to the west of the stump and...
am no longer afraid of spiders...
(unfortunately, Hero can't relate ;P)

We enter Pyrefly Forest.

We found a JOKE BOOK! (but it's empty...)
The Weeping Willow needs comedy. Thankfully i have a thing to gather such a thing.

> While "Afraid" is an emotion that prevents all skill use of that character, it can be overwritten with any other emotion (Including neutral, given the correct item)

I found a Match Box!
I found a Track piece!
I have been asked to find a lost teddy
I found a track piece and a tomato!

We fought a bear. We beat it in a brawl.

There's so many spiders.
and... a totally normal stump.
I swear i keep seeing things...

wait there's a secret grotto...
the lost forest...
finish the job...? what do you mean...?
the exit...
i need to find something... but what?
a boy? could it be him?
hiding... from the right way...?
there's merit behind everything...
dreams... dreams... it's always the dreams...
False truths are worse than lies...
darkness... the unseen...
the truth... is a lie...
W, E, NW, SE, W, N.

		
			The truth.

In the beginning, there existed only two...
The DREAMER, and his room.

The DREAMER grew weary of his room, and created a door that lead to many different worlds.

Walking the path of a visitor of these worlds, the DREAMER would come and go as he pleased.

Slips and falls, tumbles and drops...
The DREAMER's curiosity and clumsy exploration eventually lead him to a certain world.

One not like the others...
one painted with chaos and bathed in darkness.

The DREAMER slowly became filled with dread.
Quiet as they may have been, words of malice quietly crept into his mind.
Whispering lies, secrets, and truths.

Powerless to stop the noise, the DREAMER manifested benevolent entities in his different worlds...

Then he compounded his worlds above the dark realm...
Sealing it with their combined might.

Yet despite his valiant efforts, the darkness's pressence never abated.
Even with new allies, the darkness continued to scrape and scratch at the back of the DREAMER's mind.

The noise might have subsided, but it never went away.

The DREAMER could run and bury away his fears, but one still has to face his own reflection.

What the DREAMER had created was something he could not be a part of, something outside himself.

The DREAMER's own power was his greatest adversary.
Knowledge... or the absence of it, would become the DREAMER's greatest gift.

To truly escape the perils of his own faculty and ascend to a blissful state of ignorance...
Only then would the noise cease to agitate the DREAMER's sanity...

So... the DREAMER took on another name...
and chose to forget himself.

From that time on, the DREAMER has lived amongst us...
simply as an inhabitant of this world...
Traveling along blissfully, ignorant of his own fabrication.
		
	

"No bandage can stifle an eternal wound..."

well that was weird...

Still need to find that third track piece though...

I have decided that it's time to rest...
Our journey may continue another time...
