"The pain!  What was with that pain?"

The green being stares at you blankly. "Crest allocation requires that the soul of the recipient be engraved. This has been described as a 'painful' process by some past defenders."

[Lenglon]

"How do we use this Crest? What kind of Dream-space manipulations?"

Spoiler: Golden Flare (click to show/hide)

Title: Golden Flare
Uniform: This girl is slightly on the short side, with a wirey build. She has very long golden-colored hair with large pointed ears near the top, white fur inside the ears. as it goes further out it behaves less and less like normal hair and more and more like flowing flames, and by the ends you even see sparks and particles cast off by the hair, though it doesn't burn anything. Her eyes show no whites, instead being a bright golden color throughout, her irises being themselves shaped like a tall and narrow flickering black flame that flares when she gets mad. She wears a sky blue T-shirt with red trim paired with a red skirt with white underside, and secured by a black belt with brown belt pouches on the back, buckle decorated with a double-pentacle design, and danging from the belt on her left side is a book on a loop of chain with a dark red leather cover and a metal clasp holding it shut. Poking out below her skirt is a large and expressive golden yellow fluffy tail. She wears a analog watch on left hand that has no numbers upon it and five different arms which move at different speeds and react to her use of magic. finally, she wears blue fingerless gloves with a pentacle design on their backs and practical brown leather boots with black socks.

"How do we use this Crest? What kind of Dream-space manipulations?"

"Your Crests provide passive augmentations at all times, as well as Domain access. Domain access is performed by the utilization of Domain-access keywords. Dream-space manipulation is a highly versatile field, which includes the creation of constructs, the launching of elemental attacks, and the usage of conceptual invocations, among other techniques."

The cat-thing flicks its tail once, which flares with green light.

"Access to the current Codex iteration has been provided. The necessary keywords to perform Domain access are provided within the appropriate section of the Codex. Due to your lack of development, only one Domain may currently be accessed per defender. Codex information will be incomplete until expanded upon."

The cat-thing pauses, then continues echoing its mind-voice through your minds.

"Usage of the keywords will be ineffective until the Inner Gate's hidden space has been exited, due to dream-space partitioning. Questions may still be asked for a short period, after which access to the full Inner Realm of Dreams will be provided. An Incursion of Outsiders is predicted to arrive soon."

[Egan_BW]

Ignorance stands still, waiting for something. After a moment, she moves just one hand to adjust her monocle.
"I was informed that some Keywords may be interchangeable between Domains. This does not appear to be the case."

"I was informed that some Keywords may be interchangeable between Domains. This does not appear to be the case."

The cat-thing turns its head, though no matter where it looks, you feel its eyes on you.

"Domains exist distinct from one another. The functionality of some keywords may overlap in areas, however the words themselves will not."

"Is there a safe way to test the keywords? If so, what is it?"

"There is no completely safe way to test your accessible keywords. Reasonable safety precautions may serve to prevent injury. In the event that a contractee is injured, returning to the Inner Gate will allow for reconstruction and restoration of their physical form. Death cannot be reversed, but death caused by testing keywords is non-probable."

"Does the Keyword Arquebus create an arquebus."

[FallacyofUrist]

"Does the Keyword Arquebus create an arquebus."

"Answer unknown."

[Egan_BW]

"What forms shall the Outsiders take?"

[Lenglon]

"Can we earn access to other domains than we started with? If so, how?"

"What forms shall the Outsiders take?"

The green entity pauses, dipping its head, seeming to process your request for information.

"Distorted beasts and humanoids have been commonly encountered. Distorted forms of myth have also been encountered. The limited available records imply further forms."

"Can we earn access to other domains than we started with? If so, how?"

"Your soul will grow in capacity as you grow in experience as a contracted defender. This will allow for expansion of your Crest. An expanded Crest may potentially allow for access to additional Domains, or greater access to already-present Domains."


"An incoming Incursion has been detected. Have all pertinent questions been answered? Suppression of the Incursion will be less difficult if available defenders deploy in advance of its arrival."

The creature's tail swings back and forth idly, as its spines seem to grow straighter, and sharpen.

[Fluffe9911]

The cat-thing flicks its tail. ”This entity is a general utility and administrative construct. The Outsiders are congealed fragments of the psychic negative mass generated by humankind. The Outsiders must be repelled at all costs in order to prevent the destruction of humanity.”

While everyone else asks a ton of questions she takes a minute to process the cat-things words "Oh... I see... so like... a robot! What an advanced company..." She puts her hand on her chin and nods to herself "Yeah a robot! So... since we are fighting negative feelings that would make us all... therapists then!" She beams proudly having felt like she worked everything out.

Title: Heavenly Clerk
Uniform: Dressed upon this Magical Girl is a relatively plain looking black business suit and fancy black shoes which looks extremely odd on a girl of her age. As if to contrast her vain imitation of professionalism upon the top left of the suit is a worn down pin with a yellow smiley face placed upon it. Her brown hair while long is trimmed slightly and nestled upon the top right of her head sits a blue rose in bloom. Her eyes are blue and her physical build is about average if a bit on the taller side.

"Let us depart."

Her expression returns back to a resting face "Ah right yes... sorry got ahead of myself it's time for our first day of work. I won't let you down, administrator!" She gives the cat robot thing one final bow.

"Additional title for contractors noted."

The cat-thing remains still.

"Understood. Defenders - your performance will influence whether humanity survives or is destroyed. This entity may not leave the Inner Gate undefended. However, it will remain in communication."


The sky is one color, certainly, but which it is seems to change every time you return to noticing it. If there is a sun, you cannot see it, but nonetheless the world around you is bright.

There is no sign of the staircase of amber slabs you ascended to reach this wasteland of purple, grainy, sweet-smelling sand. When one of your footsteps strikes the sands, the sand seems to compress, briefly, like a particulate sponge. In the distance ahead there is a set of tall, triangular blue stones, sand-stained but standing tall.

"You have been transported to near the site of the predicted Incursion. Approach the monoliths and prepare a defense. Travel to the site is expected to take [1 Turn]. The Incursion is expected to enter this reality [3 Turns] from now. Expect a weak force. The Outsiders must take time to prepare their more destructive creatures."
