In the vast expanse of nothingness, on a cliff, sat a house, rustic and quaint, smoke slowly rising from the chimney like a double helix.

The sun rose upon the nothing-place, and lights in the house started to flicker on. On the top floor, there was a singular solitary light that had never seemed to turn off for more than an hour.

On the middle floor, flashes of intense colored light shot out of the window every few minutes.

ON the bottom floor, was a man, blonde in hair, black in cap, simply sitting on the couch- well, laying, more like, a remote control in hand as he flicked through channels on the TV.

He glanced up, as the tenants of his cottage started to awake.

Misha woke up with a start.
The familiar sounds and smells of the Reverie were gone.
Did he oversleep? Oh that would be bad. As he hurried to get ready as quickly as possible he stopped in his tracks.

Right.

This wasn’t the Reverie. Something he’d had to remind himself for the past few days. But hey, routine was hard to break, especially if you’ve been living that way for years.

Deep breath. In. Out. There we go. He returned to getting ready for the day, taking a bit more time than he had been previously.

As he left his room, despite his nerves of being in such an odd place, he couldn’t help but feel excited at the prospect of a new place, a new world.

”Mysterious… surprising… and law-defying… Isn’t that right?”

Reshen opened his eyes slowly. He stared at the house ceiling for a few beats. Right, where was he again? He sat up, glancing to the fluttering book beside him. He waved his fingers and the pages turned on its own, flipping past the finished chapters to the newest one...

Which was none... The pages were empty, not even a title scribbled on top. Reshen sighed and rubbed his eyes. Two days gone by in this peculiar house, and no words had appeared. Oh well, what do they say again? Thrice was the charm? He pulled the hood of his poncho as he stood up. "Good morning." Reshen tapped his lantern. Instantly it began to glow as his captives flew awake, tapping against the glass walls and obviously hurling some miniscule insults. He chuckled at the thought and picked it up, heading towards the kitchen. The Leather Tome floated after him.

Morpheus woke up with a tired yawn. Yeah. She definitely had to fix her sleep schedule. Staying up half the night to dream-watch was not a good idea. She stretched a little, washed up using the convenient bathroom that had somehow (magically?) in her room, before floating towards the kitchen on her little cloud. Passing by Aleksander on the couch, she greeted him with a sleepy wave, then reaching for the cabinet. Owing to her short stature, Morpheus floated upwards on her cloud to grab the handle of the cabinet, taking out a can of hot cocoa, as well as cooking utensils. “Want some breakfast?” She asked, not to anyone in particular, as she busied herself in the kitchen.

Immediately, ALeksandr was on his feet, glitching into existence next to Morpehus.

"Breakfast? Say less, dear tenant!"

He chuckled.

"Breakfast is good! Good, good, good, always good!"

And then he was knocked off balance for a moment after a loud BANG echoed throguh the house.

Stumbling down the stairs, was a soot-covered girl, hair as golden as wheat, coughing up ash and waving her hand inf ront of her face.

"Morning!"

She said, peppily, dusting the soot off her hoodie.

"Hiya, Aleks!"

"Morning, Alyssa."

--

Evan could hear the chatterings of Aleksandr's guests downstairs.

So they were awake.

he shrugged quietly, focusing back in on his artwork.

"Good morning, folks." Reshen said to the two in the kitchen, passing by Aleksandr with a small smile. "Hello to you..." The tome opened to the blank page again and he pinched his lips together. Of course, nothing on the page, still. "Hello to you." He simply nodded and started to make some tea. He thought for a few moments, remembering how to use what folks these days called 'stove', before putting a small pot of water on top. It worked better than bonfires, certainly, but he'd never get used to it.

A little startled, Morpheus let out a cheery laugh, as she climbed back atop her cloud. Starry, liquid-like hands emerged from her back, a literal extra pair of hands to help her cook, as she grabbed various pans, putting them on the stovetop, one hand cracking eggs, the other cooking bacon, another mixing up pancake batter. “Any special requests, then?” Morpheus asks, floating upwards to check the pantry. Naturally, being a whimsical land, the pantry seemed never ending, full of different food items, leaving one spoilt for choice. Tasting the eggs, she added a little butter and herbs, deciding that omelettes would be nice. Any other requests for egg could be made later.

“And you, Miss Alyssa? Breakfast for you too?” A dream-hand reached out, helping to brush some soot off Alyssa’s hoodie, before returning to its batter mixing. “Whatever happened to you, dear?”

Iris wanted nothing more than to go back to sleep.

She was having a lovely dream in which she gambled away while drinking bottles of Soulglad. Although these experiences were nothing unusual as she dived into the Dreamscape on a regular basis, Iris began to miss her life at Penacony and began to wonder how she could leave this spaceless house full of strangers.

However, dreams don’t last forever, don’t they?

Realizing this, Iris slowly rose from her bed and tidied her wings. She peeked out her bedroom door to see if anyone else had woken up. A familiar blue-haired bellboy had just gotten out of his bedroom.

She found it relieving to recognize someone among the strangers in the cottage.

Aleksandr's movements were erratic at best, completely mind-bendingly strange at worst(sometimes, you'd see him talking to one person, and then his arm would be in the garden, clipped through a plant or something), but today seemed like one of his better days. The man wasn't even supposed to exist, so naturally, the universe decided to make him seem like a really laggy TF2 character- glitching all over the place.

Suddenly, he was leaning on the stove, hand glitched halfway through the metal. He didn't even notice, talking animatedly.

"Good morning, Reshen, my dear friend! Goodest of mornings indeed!"

He chuckled, smiling.

Alyssa smiled brightly.

"Oh, I was trying a new rune, but it failed. And I got blown up, like kablooey, but I'm fine now, I think. There's a ringing in my ears, but I'll be A-okay, miss!"

Reshen's eyes widened under the hood. They wouldn't see him surprised but his pressed lips surely gave it away. How'd this man know his... right, right. What was it called again? Territory? Everything he owns he knows? The ancient rules gave him a headache. He dropped some leaves into the pot, watching the liquid turn to murky brown then a soft purple. "Good morning. Would you like some tea? Curse free, don't worry."

"No, no, I don't drink tea. Boiled leaves are not very appealing to me!"

Aleksandr laughed, lifting his hand out of the stove, before zapping it back to normal.

"A wonderful day, a wonderful day indeed!"

His movements tracked like a opponent in an FPS at 999 Ping. He threw open the door, staring out into the blank void of nothingness beyond the 400-foot radius of the cliff and the house.

"Another beautiful day in nothingness! Hello, my little realm!"

He snapped, and the world just kind of... popped into existence, like the chunks hadn't been loading previously.

There was a little town at the bottom of the cliff, inhabited by more of the people Aleksandr had helped previous- or, memory fragments of them, anyways.

Reshen blinked, mouth slightly agape. His mind raced, attempting to classify what the man could be. Perhaps something vapor related? No, they didn't... erm, move like that. Perhaps he was teleporting a hundred times in a beat. Yes, possibly that. As he poured the tea, his book flipped to the newest chapter. There was a string of words there now.

In a house away from many others, a few figures had woken up. The owner of the world, Aleksandr, greeted everyone with some cheerful words.

"Finally," Reshen sipped, glancing outside the window at the town. Hmmm... an illusion spell? Well, now he knew the man's name. And his book seemed to be working again. Certainly this trip won't last too long.

Misha could hear commotion coming from the kitchen. He figured now would be a good time as of any to try and get some breakfast. He slipped into the kitchen hoping to get some food without disturbing anyone. He wouldn’t want to bother the others. Instead, he listened into their conversations as he usually did.

"Wowee, we certainly racked up some more- EVAN!"

He swapped the topic mid sentence, calling out for someone named Evan.

After a few moments of pure silence, Aleksandr flickered back into a neutral position, snapping.

A man appeared, in the middle of the air, seemingly in the process of drawing something, when he fell straight to the ground.

"Ow- F- ALEKS!"

"Evan, tehre you are! Get up, you whiny demigod! Did you bring some of these guys here? Was it You, Hm? Hm, Evan?"

Evan took a step back, pushing Aleks away with one hand, the other hand adjusting his glasses, before moving onto brushing his brwn hair out of his eyes. HE scanned the room.

"...Uh, hi? I see newcomers."

Evan sighed.

"I'm Evan. He's Aleksandr. We're the senior members of this place- Well, Aleks created this place, but y'know."

Evan sighed.

"Details. Boring. Annoying."

Aleks muttered.

Evan glared at him.

"Holler for us if you need help. No, actually, holler for him. I'm busy."

Evan adjusted his glasses once more before picking up his notebook and pencil, trudging back up the stairs.

Iris inelegantly stumbled her way down the stairs. Ahe had forgotten how clumsy she was in reality. Along her way, she heard the front door violently open. Turning her head toward the door, she saw an entire town at the bottom of the cliff this house was on.

She picked up the scent of freshly-brewed tea and saw a hooded man reading a book while drinking tea. Misha was also near the two stranger, seeming to listen to the conversation.

It would be nice to grab some breakfast at this time. Hopefully the girl with the veil cooking eggs and bacon with her extra hands would let her have some

"Lovely meeting you too!" Reshen waved as Evan went. Names, names. Eagerly giving them out like spores from a fern. Words appeared in his book, writing about the current events, though leaving out his own presence. "Evan, Aleksandr, Murphy... hm. Peculiar names." He set the lantern down on the table and read through the new sentences.

Evan… Aleksandr… he’d remember these names. It was important to know who you were staying with, after all. And he was good at remembering names too! He had to be, working at the Reverie and all. It would be embarrassing to get one wrong. These people certainly were eccentric, though nothing he wasn’t accustomed to.

Leanne wandered downstairs. Screw this and their noise. In the past few weeks, the house had... filled up. It wasn't a bad thing... but when you were already easily annoyed and a small human was growing inside of you... They were too much.

Evan was climbing the stairs absentmindedly, not even noticing Leanne. She'd spent seven months in this place. In that time, she had basically learned nothing about the solitary demigod, which was frustrating. Leanne liked knowing things. Leanne liked having a teensy bit of control. Evan was friends with Aleks somehow, but they had both been around long before her. Long before her, if her research was anywhere near correct. That was expected. They were both confusing.

"Evan, get your head out of the clouds." She rolled her eyes at him, her clipped British accent sounding irritable as usual. She really would let have let him have it he smashed into her. "Are you responsible for these people and their noise? Because Merlin, I swear, if Aleks's hatred for tea has prevented a pot of something English being made, I will hold you both accountable."

Emmie didn't usually sleep. Not often, anyway. But when her usual antics were disrupted by tired house inhabitants yelling at her to keep it down, it bummed her out enough to spread her limbs out on the floor, closing her eyes to pretend she was floating away from this awful place. And that was enough to help her fall asleep.

When she woke up, she was already darting around the second floor, skating past objects she moved around to use as obstacles. The wheels rolling against the floor made up half the noise she made, the other half being her yelling or crashing into a wall. The people who came here didn't know how to have fun- the lot of them were incredibly boring or rude. They were so bland it was nearly suffocating.

But then again, she hadn't taken the time to really get to know them. All she knew of them were their names, and because of her bad memory, she forgot them. So she gave them nicknames. And she forgot those, too.

Even now, as she rolled (read: fell) down the stairs, she greeted everyone with a cheerful smile, so cheerful it was already exhausting so early in the day. Emmie waved to every single person until they waved back.

A cooling mist filled the air, shrouding Crow-2 in a cloak of eternal gray as he tread through the grassy ruins. Donning a mist repeller on his back, he flicks the on switch, attempting to remove himself from the mist’s grasp, but to no avail. “How peculiar… I don’t remember reading about anything like this in the guide books…perhaps this requires further study……” He rambled to himself, walking deeper and deeper into the unknowns of the mist.

After what felt like an eternity of walking, the mist finally released it’s grasp, swirling around Crow-2 in an almost playful manner. He smiled,“It appears the machinery was faulty…that explains why none of the mist was repelled earlier.” That was what he assumed, until he finally caught sight of the large, overhanging cliff before him. The thing that stood out the most however, was the large, house-like structure at the very edge of it. It had a unique architectural design, with a triangular shaped build at the top and a large, rectangular structure poking out above it, unlike anything he’d ever seen from his experiences of travelling through The Rim. It seemed to be occupied, with its flickering lights shining through it windows.

With great interest, Crow-2 proceeded to double check the premises for any traps, before striding straight towards the strange looking house.
