What beasts do my fellow dreamers see in their nightmares? How do they hunt, how are they hunted?

I have dreamt of four:

Insects, large kin to roaches, that move in great swarms, carpet halls. Chitin and numbers make useless blows; I have not dreamed their destruction but I suspect it would be achieved by fire or toxin.

Hearth-lizards, fire-breathers. The hunter with skill to avoid their flames finds them no more difficult to dispatch with weapons than an ordinary animal.

Small armless imps, sharp of tooth and talon but fragile.

A great guardian, perhaps once man but now machine. Its strength, armor, and skill are beyond any hunter's. It has living eyes behind its mask and may be harmed by magic, but only an army of hunters may feel emboldened by such trivial vulnerabilities.

[[Reinforce has added to each description a sketch of the roaches, salamanders, necrits as described in damned_monsters and Grievous. They are not terribly artistically inspired but the lines are clean and emphasize identifying anatomical features. They include the occasional written note on texture, color, scale, and the like.]]

A message to all the new faces:

Confused? Then pay attention, because I'm getting tired of this spiel.

This place is a hospital called Landel's Institute. It might be somewhere in America, it might not. We don't know. What you need to know is that you (and maybe some people you know) have been brought here from a different world. Or a different time. It varies.

Anyway, it's daytime now, so the doctors will tell you you're nuts and all your memories are just delusions. Don't listen to a word they say, because they're all lying bastards. Just play along and try not to get your ass sedated.

Make some friends. No, seriously. You'll need them when night comes around. The doors unlock, and the patients are allowed to roam around the institute. Don't go out alone. If you had power in your world, it's been weakened here, and there are monsters in the halls at night.

Don't believe me? I don't care. You'll get the same information from anyone you talk to, and maybe a little more. I'm not posting any theories here. You'll have to figure out the why for yourself.

Good luck.

If you can read this, I would very much like to meet you.

I'm currently in the form of an adolescent halfblood.

Naomi, if you see this please let me know you're okay.

Valyn - made some presents for you in arts and crafts. I'll give them to you later if you give me a minute.

[Note one: handwriting disguised to some extent, but anyone who saw the note the other day would probably put two and two together pretty quickly]

I have recently come into posssession of a key. What is there around here that keys go to?

[Note two: No handwriting, just a few crumpled (as if folded up for awhile) pages ripped from a fairy tale book in the library]

Self defense students, class is back on. Shouldn't run in to the same problem this time. Boys meet at the M20 hall. Sheska, we'll come to you.

How many people here are familiar with the story of Star Wars? Please spare me the plot details, as I haven't seen it myself. I was just curious.

Thank you.

Because I was requested to do so, here's another variation of 'Jack and the Beanstalk.' To think that I went through years of college education and this is the best I can show for it.

This illusion is really elaborate.

Does anyone know how to- Who else is here? Rukia are youIs everyone from last night ok?

Does anyone know what happened to that child?

[strikes all scratched out messily, only bits could be made out if you squinted at it sideways]

Well, Asch is here, s I figure I'd give this a try...

Is there anyone from Auldrant here? Or anyone who knows anyone from Auldrant?

There were six other people traveling with me. There's three guys, one of them is named Guy and he has blond hair, blue eyes, and he's got a phobia of women, so if you see a guy like that freaking out near a girl, that's him.

There's a woman named Tear, she has long brown hair that covers one eye. She might seem a little cold if you don't know her really well, but she really likes cute things, so if you see her going all wide eyed and mushy over something small and possibly furry, that's her.

Then there's Natalia, she has a ... really long name, and she also has blonde hair. She can be really gullible, so if you joke to someone like that about something really outlandish and she's believing you, that's probably her.

And there's Anise, she's a little girl with really big pigtails and she might have a doll called Tokunaga on her back. She reaaally likes money, so if you find a little girl like that trying to suck up to one of the doctors in hopes of marrying him, that's definitely her.

Finally, there's Jade. He can be a little scary and it's hard to tell when he's kidding... Oh, and he also is called "Jade the Neck Romancer", so if you see a tall scary guy with red eyes and glasses and he's cheerfully talking about poisoning food or something, that's him!

Thanks in advance. If you see any of these people, let them know that Luke fon Fabre is alive and looking for them!

As there are already a few looking, I suppose I shall try myself.


I am looking for any of the following men:


HRM Edgar Roni Figaro - a womanizer that wears a ribbon in his hair - quite like the fop he is. Blonde hair, violet eyes. Twenty-and-seven years of age.

A 'Treasure Hunter' named Locke Cole - Rather calculating, doesn't enjoy being called a thief, likes wearing a blue bandanna. Brown hair, brown eyes Twenty-and-five years of age

Vile, rotten, hateful, gambler Setzer Gabbiani. Gambler. I assume if he is here he's already gotten himself on the wrong side of someone.

Any information regarding these men is greatly appreciated.


With Great Humility and Respect,

Gen. C. Chere

Naminé! I can't find you! Are you okay? What happened?!

- "Soma"

Please be on the lookout for a young girl about 5 feet tall with dark spikey hair.  Her name is Rhode Kamelot and she is extremely dangerous, so please be careful!  We spotted her last night.  She may be with a tall man with dark hair called Tyki Mick.  If you see either of these people, please let me know!  They should be avoided at all costs!  I drew a picture of Tyki last time, so please refer to it if you have questions about his appearance.  I'll try to draw one of the girl as soon as possible.  Thank you for your time.

Arts and Crafts Roll Call.

If you are looking for artistic pursuits tonight, please inform me here, or find me during the day.

If you were leading a project last night, please report your results to me as soon as possible. A report delivered to myself or Abarai-fukutaicho, written or oral, will suffice.
