Shhhhhhhh~

[19:37:41] <@CounterBeard> The room you enter has a soft glow. The hearth burns merrily across the room. The unworked stonewalls have paintings of eras past. The entire cave has almost an ancient feel.
[19:37:47] <@CounterBeard> Except for the ornate wooden desk sitting on a huge oriental rug, the electric lamp and other lights around the room, and the wooden door on new brass hinges you just close. The entire atmosphere is a little off kilter. It is incredibly cozy though. The head of your order sits on his desk waiting. An aged man, he must be in his late fifties at the earliest. His black suit and red power tie offset his white hair and light blue eyes.
[19:39:33] <@CounterBeard> He smiles as you enter, a knowing look on his face. "Welcome, Celia, or should I say Beautiful Genius Celia? We have much to discuss."
[19:43:30] * Celia swoons through the room, her head high in contentment as she smiles at the Order's leader. "Hohohohoho... So the day of my mastery has come? Have you called me to let know that i am the disciple who will lead the Dreamers now, Master?"
[19:47:44] <Celia> "Yes, it will be my honor to fill your shoes, and while i might lead them on a much better way on the future, i must say you did an splendid job training me, sir."
[19:51:40] <@CounterBeard> He laughs, a deep resonating sound. "No, no, not yet. Although that is always a possiblity in the late future. The Fractured Dreams can be hard to decrypt. No. Now I wish to discuss your new and current mission. Your travels have let us see the state of our homeland. Our brothers and sisters as usual have sent a Scribe this overturning of history. But they are blind to the futures. They simply write what happens, they do not Change. Although this one...She is different. This is all beside the point. We need one of our own. We need a true Dreamer. I need someone I can trust to do what is needed when the time comes. To steer our Region to stability. Where ever where it may lie. The new Writings have shown me much. You are in them as a main Role. Will you rise to it?"
[19:57:01] <Celia> An adventuring hook, how interesting! And a main role... Perhaps it is the chance that Celia waited until now, to seize destiny by its hands and become the main character of her own saga. A saga that the fractured dreams hide, and she will scribe it on all its glory.... She thought that as a great smile opened on her face. "Very well then... However, will i go alone or shall i meet another ones?" After all, she needed supporting characters to her Saga...
[20:04:14] <@CounterBeard> "Of course! Every grand tale must have a fellowship! The first is The Hunter, quick to anger and to slay. wakeup The second is the Wild One, he is petulant but has the powers of the First King. The third wakeup is the General, he hides in his alcohol and memories of times past. The Scribe, more warrior than monk she takes her honor and her Mission above all else." Eventually holding up four fingers.
[20:05:12] <@CounterBeard> "And finally you. The Radical Dreamer. The final player in this tale. Lost in your own Fantasy and Waking Dream. They will shape it and you their own." His final finger rises his palm open towards you.
[20:09:29] <@CounterBeard> "Have you any questions?"
[20:10:07] <Celia> "They do sound like a bunch of interesting fellows." Yes, a balanced party, especially now that she is joining it. From what she heard, they must be a bunch of nitwits, so someone with actual skills will make a difference. However, another scribe... "The last one. Is she from the... other order?"
[20:11:18] <Celia> "I thought we were separated from the writers, why join a group of them?"
[20:11:44] <@CounterBeard> "That she is. The Unown Collective. The order of the the mortal world. The Writers of Histories, and all those other titles."
[20:15:32] <Celia> "I know she is going with them because she is to write their travels, however... Do they know about my role and  the Dreamers?"
[20:16:03] <Celia> "Or must i keep it secret from them? I can live with using subterfuge." She gives a dismissive nod.
[20:19:49] <@CounterBeard> "What your Sister knows is minimal. Both orders know the other and have small contact, but we do not know the inner workings of them. The same can be said for them. You shall use your best judgement on the matter. I shall have you be unfettered in this."
[20:21:31] <Celia> "Heehee, no worries then, although i might tease her a little. The scribes look to be such boring persons..."
[20:23:21] <@CounterBeard> "This one shall either prove either the truth or the exception. Now! Beautiful Genius Celia are you ready for yoru Saga to begin?"
[20:23:31] <Celia> "But sir... How do you really know these persons are going to be needed when the time comes? Did the gods really dream about them? And about me? I was not able to divine much from the Glitch lately..."
[20:24:55] <@CounterBeard> The man smiles, genuine pride on his face. "Celia, there are those who Dream, and those who must live thier Dreams. I think we both know which one you are."
[20:26:20] <Celia> "Well, i do!" Celia pouts as she hears that. "I will begin the Saga i envisioned and live my dreams from now on. Watch me, master!"
[20:27:25] <@CounterBeard> "I can only watch. This is why I need you, and your brothers and sisters. Let us both serve our dreams! Now Celia, Wake Up."
[20:28:51] <@CounterBeard> The room slowly starts to fade, the edges and lights blurring. The man stays in focus but becomes a shadow of himself. Eventually all you can see is his shadow as it grows filling up your vision with black.
[20:30:03] <@CounterBeard> "Excuse me Miss? Excuse me." you can hear a female voice by your ear and a nudge on your shoulder.
[20:32:57] * Celia slowly opens her eyes and looks around. So typical of them, talking to her on the dreams. However, it was a new day, and she was sure to be ready for it! ...As soon as she knew where she was. "Uuuh..."
[20:34:19] <@CounterBeard> The woman in the blue dress uniform smiles. "The boat is just about to reach Corsola Reef. Seems like you took a nap. Wish I could do that some days..."
[20:36:52] <Celia> "Oh, you might call me a napaholic of sorts... How many hours until we reach shore?" Yes, she remembered taking the boat now. But her head always hurt so much after those dreams, it was their only drawback.
[20:39:04] <@CounterBeard> "Oh only about half an hour at most. If you didn't have anything planned for your trip I heard there was some sort of tournament or something. Any how I'll let you get ready for land fall! Hope you enjoyed your trip!" She shuffles off smiling at other passengers until she is out of view.
[20:41:23] <@CounterBeard> After a few moments a man walks through smiling at every one and walks up to you. "Oh glad to see you are awake! Just wanted to let you know we are making land fall here pretty shortly and to be ready to head out!" He seems overly enthused.
[20:43:01] <Celia> "Tournament? Hee hee, it sounds like something i'd look at later." Yes, every protagonist needed to do a tournament arc, however Celia thought it was something reserved for the later chapters... In any case, she heads to the ship's bow and stares at the mainland from there. "Well, look at that!"
[20:45:09] <@CounterBeard> The town before you seems to rise up out of the ocean itself. It rests directly on the reef. The Steward comes and joins you. "Glorious isn't it! Not to many folks come any more to Reeftown. But it is one of the worlds greatest treasures."
[20:47:51] <Celia> It looked like a shantytown compared to Tradersreef on her opinion, but she kept it to herself. "Yes... It does look lovely."
[20:48:47] <@CounterBeard> "Heh. Now is there anything else I can help you with? Sorry I wasn't around earlier. Only one of me and so many of you all."
[20:51:32] <Celia> "Oh yes, yes, i am looking for some... Friends of mine, per se. I was called here to do something and i want to know where to find informations of people's whereabouts on the town."
[20:52:58] <@CounterBeard> "OH! I'm sure they'll be at the contest! It is to see who the new Guardian for Ms. Lindsey will be! People are jawwing about how she is going to be a gym leader!" the boat cruises along slowing as it reaches the dock.
[20:53:09] <@CounterBeard> "People are coming from all over!"
[20:55:27] <Celia> "Yes, yes, the contest! Where is it being held, gramps? Come on, tell me!" She asked impatiently.
[20:56:59] <@CounterBeard> The man blinks. He can't be more than 25 "Um well. Should be at the old Lorie estate there or some where close by." The boat eventually docks and people mill about as they get off. "Anything else I can help you with?.
[20:58:10] <Celia> (man i swear i read him as being an old man)
[20:59:40] <Celia> "Fufufu, i know enough already!" Celia smiles as she hurries out of the boat, going to the Lorie estate that the steward pointed. "All right, time to win this measly contest and show everyone what the Genius Celia is about!"
[21:01:37] <@CounterBeard> The man waves you off "Thank you for riding the Royal Runner! My name was Kevin Nave it was a pleasure to have you!" /INTRO
