The room was dark. A single figure was seen, lit from behind by a single light. It was impossible to make out the exact features, but they somehow felt familiar. "I see you've awakened." Their voice felt almost like a whisper, but at the same time, it was completely audible and what they said echoed in the ears of the one who heard it. "How very interesting. I see that you have the potential to change this world greatly as well. Perhaps you too have a choice in our fate. You see, you are a special one. There were others like you too, but something has happened to them. Their spirits are broken. No longer can they move on. This is why I have called upon you. You are our last hope. The heroes have fallen. It is up to you to decide our fate now. I wonder how a new player in this strange game will change the rules...we can only wait and see, can't we?" Vision begins to fade and the sound of an alarm fills the air.
September 13th Tuesday, Sunny
Jolting awake, they turn the alarm off on their clock. Great, looks like they overslept. The boxes in the room are still unpacked. There hasn't been enough time since the move to take everything out just yet. They barely even moved here in time to start going to school. Being late on the first day is definitely an interesting way to start. They look up in the mirror while getting ready for the day. Yep, that's them alright.

Alright. Today will definitely be a good day. No way it won't. I'll make sure of it.
Somnis Hope: The Protagonist
Somnis brushes her hair out in a rush, checking it in the mirror and dropping the waves of black to let them rest on her shoulders. "Good enough." Her eyes look around frantically for a moment before spotting the phone sitting amongst a pile of towels. "Found you." With a gentle, yet confident hand, she picks up the phone. "Wouldn't want to forget this." She then looks over at the clock again. "Okay, I have to get out of here NOW. I'm so late..." She grabs her jacket while running out the door and a few minutes later, comes charging back into the house to grab her bag.
Running on her way to the close by school, she hears the bell go off from outside. "Oh no. That means I'm REALLY late." She runs up to the doors and gives them a good tug once or twice. "Locked. Darn." As she steps back, she looks over her shoulder, noticing another girl that's stuck outside. It doesn't look like she noticed Somnis. Her long, dirty blond hair swings around in the air as she looks around, making sure nobody is watching. She then climbs up a large tree in the school's yard. Among the leaves, Somnis only notices the red of her clothes as the girl inches her way toward a nearby, open window. She climbs inside and looks to be unnoticed. "She's like a ninja or something..." Somnis stares blankly for a moment, trying to figure out why a ninja is going to her school. It's then she remembers the issue she's faced with. Getting inside somehow...
A.) Just go to the office and accept being late, weirdo.
B.) Follow that ninja through the window!
C.) Maybe there's a back door?
D.) Hide somewhere and wait to run in when someone goes outside.
E.) There's gotta be a secret entrance over by the field, right?
F.) Oh well, let's go home and take the day off.

I'll just jump in through the window like her. That'll work.
Somnis climbs her way up the tree and inches her way along a branch reaching toward the open window. "Okay. Now just...jump!" Somnis leaps from the branch into the window, tumbling into an empty classroom. "Ouch..." Getting up and rubbing her arm a little, Somnis returns the desk she knocked over to the upright position. Heading into the hall, she notices everyone is gone. The ninja girl from before is running down the hall. She heads down a staircase at the end of the hall. "I bet she knows what's going on..."
Somnis gives chase, running down the hall and flying down the stairs. She then gives chase through double doors and into an auditorium, bursting inside. Everyone in the entire school is sitting in the seats. And they're all staring at her. It looks like they were just in the middle of something, but now everyone is quiet.
A.) "I-I'm Somnis! Nice to meet you all!"
B.) "Sorry I'm late. I'll just...go sit down."
C.) "Your latest shipment of window panes is here."
D.) "Why are you all staring at me? Stop being so disrespectful of the principle!"
E.) "I'm just gonna...go now."
F.) "BARERU-CHAN!"

Quick! Come up with something! Anything!
"I am Bareru-Chan. Nice to meet you all! But stop being so rude to the principal! Your attention should be on him, not me!"
A student sitting close to the front with his feet up on a chair pulls down his sunglasses slightly and stares at Bareru-Chan with his brown eyes. "Sit down before you look even dumber." She can see a scar near his eye, but the sunglasses are put back in place before she can get a good look. He moves his shoes off the seat and Bareru-Chan wiped off the chair a bit before landing in it. As she does so, the meeting progresses as if she was never even there. The guy whispers to her from behind. "Hey, the name's Tom."
Tom: Chill Dude
His short hair was carelessly put together, being a complete mess. Somehow he looked like he was incredibly cool at the same time though. He had all the necessary elements. The shades, the relaxed and carefree attitude, and the cool clothes.
"What are you two whispering about...?" A girl wearing a leather jacket and her hair tied back into a ponytail watches Tom and Bareru-Chan with a questioning gaze.
Julia: The Detective
They say that eyes are the gateway to the soul, but not with Julia. those things were a cold, blue vault. She always appeared very professional. She walked like she had somewhere to go and held herself with perfect posture. But at the same time there was something very feminine about her. Maybe it was the long legs or the way she crossed them when she sat.
"Nothing." He turns back to Bareru-Chan. "So you must be new here."
"That's right!"
"Bareru-Chan, right?"
"Heheh, well, actually, my name is Somnis. I was just kind of pressured and blurted out the first thing that came to mind..."
"Oh, alright. Somnis. Interesting name. So why'd you move here?"
"Well, my mom's working right now, trying to figure out a case of some sort. The job payed well, so we moved here."
"Hm. Okay. Well, welcome to the school. If you ever have any questions, I'd be glad to help answer them." An older teacher with a stern look shushed the two of them. "I guess anymore talking will have to wait until later..." The boring assembly continues and nothing else much worthy of note happens.
Afternoon
After going through multiple classes, Somnis walks out of the school, stretching. "Yes! Class is over! I made it through the day without a single thing going wrong! Except getting locked out of the school. And that assembly. And losing all of my pencils. Well, I'll make the afternoon great instead! Yeah! There's got to be some sort of after school clubs or something I can take part in. I'll make this a good day!" Determined, Somnis heads over to the clubs sign up board. There are about five that look to be accepting members right now. Hmm...which one to join though?
A.) The Creepy Looking Cult
B.) A Sports Team
C.) The Volunteer Club
D.) The Music/Drama Club
E.) The Computer Club

The Occult Club looks interesting. I bet they do cool stuff there!
Somnis runs off to the basement, where the club is held. As she walks in, it looks like the students are all gathered around a short student standing on top of a table. "Welcome...mwahahaha..."
Buttons: The Creep
He wears a black hoodie, zipped up fully with the hood up. Most of his face is hidden in shadows. He's also wearing dark blue jeans and his hands are kept in his pockets. He also slouches quite a bit, bent over forwards.
"I'm the club's leader, Buttons. I'm not really much for introductions, so what do you say we get right to work? First things first, which one of you brought the blood?" The students looks around to each other in confusion. "Ha. Ha. It was a joke." His laugh is awkward and makes Somnis feel uncomfortable. He talks constantly at a barely audible whisper. "Today we will be studying ghosts..."
Some kid in the back yells. "We always study ghosts! Why can't we do something new?"
"Shut up, Jimmy. Nobody likes you..." Buttons takes out some strange talismans from his pockets. "We must draw these symbols on the table and perform a seance. Then I will be able to make them all bow to m-I mean then we will be able to speak with the ghost. Yes. This won't summon a demon to give me an all powerful power. Mwahahaha..." Buttons has an evil grin and rubs his hands together. Evilly.
"This is a little creepy..." Somnis has second thoughts about the club.
A.) "I don't mean to be rude, but Buttons isn't a real name."
B.) "Don't you think we should start with something a little safer?"
C.) Help draw the symbols and say nothing
D.) "Are you secretly a murderer...?"
E.) "Hold on. I want to be the one to summon the ghost."

Hey wait a minute...maybe he wants to summon the ghost to murder us!
"Hey, you aren't gonna murder us are you?"
"What? Of course not!" Buttons looks genuinely shocked that Somnis would ask such a thing.
"Well prove it and let me summon the ghost instead."
"How does that prove any-BWAH!" Somnis jumps up on the table, pushing Buttons out of the way.
"Okay, start chanting! I'm gonna channel this ghost!" Somnis excitedly waits as the other members begin reciting ancient incantations.
"Hey! This is my club! Knock it off! Hey!" Buttons tries to move Somnis out of the way, but she holds him away at arms length with a single hand. He angrily shakes a fist at her.
"I'm not feeling very possessed."
"That's because it was for meeee!" Buttons jumps up and down like an angry child.
"Oh well. I guess this one's a bust." Somnis looks over at a nearby clock. "Oh, it's time to go. Cool club! Maybe I'll come again!" Somnis begins to walk out the door while Buttons looks around at the talismans.
"No...! The power in them is gone! All gone! Curse you...eh, what was her name?"
"Somnis!" Jimmy pops up out of a crowd again.
"Shut UP, Jimmy." Buttons lets out an annoyed sigh.
Your Courage has increased by 1!
A strange power wells from within the heart...
A new connection has begun to form between Somnis and Buttons...
A new path has opened up. Relationship Rank 1 has been achieved with Buttons.
"Ah, weird. I feel like something important just happened." Somnis scratches her head in confusion as she walks on her way home.
Night
Somnis enters her home. Mostly everything is still packed up. "Mom, I'm home!" Somnis looks around and notices a note sitting nearby on the kitchen counter. "So mom's out working late again. Well..." Somnis looks around a little. Not much to do here. She looks at her phone. Only her mom's number is in it. Maybe she should get some friends. Somnis lets out a sigh and flops on the couch. "Well, let's see what there is to do around here..." She looks up a map and looks for things to do. "There's a mall close to here...but that's about all there is to do. I guess I could wander to the convenience store in the middle of the night for no reason. I might meet people at the mall though. But I could also just stay home. Studying is important...kinda. I could always read. The books are unpacked..." Somnis continues to think.
A.) Go to the mall
B.) Study
C.) Read the vampire book
D.) Read the mystery novel
E.) Read the fantasy story
F.) Read the fishing guide

I guess I'll go check out the mall.
Somnis leaves her home and heads out to the mall.
m.youtube.com/watch?v=VpNhxUIMXug
The mall has multiple people walking around throughout. There's two floors to it as well. It's all shiny and white with tiled floors. A large fountain sprays water in the center of the mall. Somnis looks around and takes note of the places around. A popular cafe, a clothing store, a bookstore, a fortune teller, a store selling electronics, and even a movie theater. There's a lot of stuff here. Two students that look familiar are talking by the fountain. Both look like they're freshmen. One is a girl wearing a flower patterned dress and the other is a boy with a fur hood. "Let's see...where to go...?"
A. To the cafe!
B. To the clothing store!
C. To the bookstore!
D. To the fortune teller!
E. To the electronics store!
F. To the movies!
G. Talk to the two students by the fountain

Those two over there go to my school. We should become friends. Maybe...I should tackle her into the fountain "accidentally".
"AHHHHHH!" Somnis charges at the girl wearing the flower dress and tackles her into the fountain. Water splashes everywhere and the boy with her looks shocked. All three people involved become soaked in water. The girl stands up in the fountain and looks at her wet clothes. "Wh-Wha...!?"
Raine: Shy Flower Girl
Her flower patterned dress is completely soaked and so is her golden yellow hair. The flower that was in her hair is now floating around in the water and her cute shoes are completely submerged. "I'm...soaked...!" She looks like she's on the verge of tears with her green eyes starting to water. "Wh-Why would you do that...?"
"Hey, meanie! Leave Raine alone!"
Fox: The Otherworld Kid
The boy wearing the coat with the fur hood leaps into the water, now tackling Somnis to the ground. His red hair sticks to his face as water from the fountain splashes at him. "There, I got you! Now tell me why you attacked Raine!" Fox keeps a tight grip on Somnis as she struggles.
"No! Let me go! It was an accident, I swear!" She splashes around with Fox still clinging on and Raine standing in the fountain, baffled.
"I saw you charge right at her! Apologize!"
A.) "Okay, fine..."
B.) "No, I don't wanna."
C.) "Pay me money. You're getting mugged!"
D.) "YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME ALIVE!"
E.) "Only if you two will be my friends!"

I just wanted friends, darnit!
"Only if you two will be my friends! I'm new and just moved here and I have none and I really really really want them! LOVE ME!" Somnis' grip tightens.
Raine looks confused at first, but steps over toward Somnis and Fox, who are rolling around on the floor. "Well...you could have just asked..."
Fox stands up with Somnis still glued to him, holding him in a big bear hug grip. "But Raine, she's crazy."
"No I'm not! I swear! I just didn't know how to make friends. I'm really sorry. I guess I wasn't thinking it through very well. I just...I'm new here. I don't have any friends and it feels like I'm all alone at the school. So...can we be friends...?"
Raine looks at her for a bit and smiles. "Okay. We can be friends."
Fox tries to squirm out of Somnis' grasp, but she has him stuck. "Fine. Just try to talk to us instead of tackling us into water fountains."
"Yay!" Somnis gives Fox a stronger hug. "You know, where I come from, being tackled into a fountain means that you're married. Guess that means we have to kiss now!"
"AHHH! Raine, save me!" Somnis laughs as she holds onto the panicked Fox. Raine giggles a little to herself.
"Okay, you two. Maybe we should get out of the fountain..." Somnis and Fox stop wrestling and nod to Raine.
Stepping out of the fountain, the three of them are completely soaked. Somnis scratches her head a little sheepishly and laughs. "Things got pretty crazy, huh? Since we're friends now, does that mean we can exchange phone numbers?"
"Yeah." Raine nods and exchanges numbers with Somnis.
You received a Key Item! Raine's Number was added to the Key Items list.
"Here you go." Fox exchanges numbers with Somnis. "If Raine trusts you, I guess I do too."
You receives a Key Item! Fox's Number was added to the Key Items list.
"Alright! Thank you guys so much!" Somnis jumps up and down happily. "We can hang out and stuff now! All the time! This is gonna be great!" Somnis then runs off, leaving behind Fox and Raine. Both of them look to each other. Fox looks clearly confused.
"She's a little weird."
Raine smiles. "I kind of like her..."
A new connection has begun to form between Somnis and Raine...
A new path has opened up. Relationship Rank 1 has been reached with Raine.
A new connection has begun to form between Somnis and Fox...
A new path has opened up. Relationship Rank 1 has been reached with Fox.
"...?" Raine looks around with a confused look.
"Something wrong?"
"I just thought I heard someone say something. Maybe it was nothing..."
Midnight
That night, while Somnis was sound asleep in her bed, she once again had a strange dream. It was the same as the one last night. A mysterious man with a blinding light behind him. "Welcome back, Somnis. I see you're already well on your way to aiding the failed heroes. Already, you are forging bonds with other students at your school. Very interesting. Well, keep up the good work. You will be needing those bonds." The figure sits forward slightly. "In only a few days time, you will be entangled in a great battle. Something going beyond your own world. Those bonds you forge will help you fight the evil and keep it at bay." The vision fades once more and the light dims...
September 14 Wednesday, Sunny
Morning
Somnis jolts awake yet again, somewhat startled from the dream. "Whoa! That dream again? Weird. I must be going crazy. Whatever, I'm sure it's nothing." Somnis gets out of bed and looks over at her clock. "I better hurry. Being late again would be a nightmare..." Somnis quickly dresses herself and dashes out of the house. On her way to school, she overhears a group of students talking about an odd rumor.
"So did you hear those weird rumors?"
"What? About the other world? It sounds like it was made up by some kid that got bored."
"Yeah well they say that if you wait until midnight, you can access some weird portals around town to another world where you'll find your one true love."
"That sounds really dumb. I'm pretty sure it's all made up."
"Maybe."
Somnis seems somewhat intrigued, but dismisses it as a simple rumor. It couldn't possibly be anything more.
Afternoon
It's just another afternoon. Classes went by as usual. That mysterious ninja girl was late to history class. She seemed pretty upset by it, to be honest. It was a little strange. Somnis considers her options for what to do this afternoon. There were a lot of choices...
A.) Occult Club
B.) Join A Sports Team
C.) Volunteer Club
D.) Music/Drama Club
E.) Computer Club
F.) Call A Friend (When calling a friend, Somnis will set up plans to hang out with them in the afternoon/night. You must specify who you're calling.)
G.) Study

I guess I'll text Fox and ask him.
Somnis sends a message to Fox, asking if he wanted to hang out this afternoon. He responds back rather quickly. "Sorry, Somnis. I'm really busy this afternoon. Something important is happening tonight." She shrugs and notices Tom walking by in the hall with Julia.
"Hey! Do you guys want to hang out?"
Tom shakes his head. "Sorry, but we're kind of busy. We're going to a friend's house."
"Oh...okay, well, have fun!" Somnis waves as they walk off. Once they're gone, she sighs and looks to the ground. "So much for hanging out..." She almost gives up, but suddenly has an idea. "Buttons! I bet hes at the Occult Club right now! We should definitely hang out." She darts off down to the basement, excited to spend time with someone.
As she comes running through the doors to the Occult Club, she notices Buttons is setting up a new summoning circle. "Alright. This one is perfect. There's absolutely no way I could mess this up. Now, my fellow club members! Perform th-AGH!" Buttons is tackled by Somnis off his table and into the ground with a loud thud.
"Buttons! Let's hang out!"
"No! You're crazy!"
"Well, if you don't want to hang out, I'll just have to kidnap you!" Somnis picks up Buttons and slings him over her shoulder.
"Put me down!"
"Let's see...where should I kidnap you to...?"
A.) The movies!
B.) The cafe!
C.) The creepy dark alleyway.
D.) My house!
E.) The Occult Club!
F.) Shopping!

I'll take him to the mall. Once I push him into the fountain, I can enact my evil plan to dress him up in hipster clothes!
Somnis runs out of the school carrying Buttons. She runs all the way over to the mall and throws him into the fountain. With a large splash, she manages to cover the floor in water once again. "Whoops, dropped you in the fountain!"
"That was on purpose!"
"Looks like we'll have to get you new clothes!" Somnis grabs Buttons and charges off into the clothing store. "Stay here! I'm gonna go get you new clothes!" She throws him into the changing room and slams the door shut, barring it with a nearby chair.
"Wha-hey! You can't lock me in here!"
Somnis then looks around the store carefully. It's got a huge variety and selection of clothing. She has fun running around the store and picking out the most hipster of clothing to put on Buttons. "Mwahaha! My little dress up doll will look great in these!" She cackles evilly to herself. Somnis picks out a full set of clothing for Buttons and then nods to herself. "Perfect." She walks up to a nearby girl with red hair and asks for her opinion. The girl gags a little bit and looks sick from your fashion sense. "Great!" Somnis returns to the changing room and throws the clothes behind the door to Buttons. "Put those on!"
"These...I'm NOT wearing these..."
"Why notttttt?" Somnis whines. "This was gonna be a bunch of fun. You were gonna wear the clothes as a test of your coura-"
"No."
"PUT ON THE CLOTHES."
"No."
Somnis kicks the door open, picking up the clothes. "PUT ON THE CLOTHES."
"I said no."
Somnis then tackles Buttons to the ground and begins to undress him in order to put on the clothes. "Wh-What!? Get off!"
"NEVER! PUT ON THE CLOTHES!"
"I CAN'T PUT THEM ON, YOU'RE TAKING THEM OFF!"
"AHHHHH!"
"AHHHHH!"
The door to the changing room slowly opens as a slightly confused girl working at the store opens it. She stands in the doorway, looking at the struggling and shirtless Buttons being attacked by Somnis. "..."
"..."
"..."
"...The changing room is not for that kind of stuff. I'm gonna have to ask you to leave."
Somnis looks up at the worker in confusion before looking back at Buttons. Her face turns bright red and she stands up. "It's not like that! That's not what it was, I swear! I was just-"
"Listen, I don't really care what you were doing. Just...please leave. I'll get fired if anything weird happens here."
"But-"
"Leave."
"O-Okay." Somnis darts out of the store.
Standing outside of the mall, she catches her breath for a bit. She ran all the way here. And...may or may not have abandoned Buttons in that changing room. "Darn. He was supposed to put on the clothes. That was embarrassing. I guess it could have been worse, but it definitely wasn't good." She sighs and sits down on the sidewalk. It's only then she realizes she's still holding his hooded sweater. "Oh. This is his." She reaches in the pockets and empties them out. Some pocket change falls out and a mysterious note card falls out as well. "Hey, what's this...?" She looks at the note card and reads it carefully. "A phone number...? Oh, it must be his. Better put it in my phone since we're friends now. I mean, that was a pretty big bonding experience."
You received a Key Item! Unknown Number was added to the Key Items list.
Somnis then looks around. "It's getting dark. I guess I should go home." She shrugs and stands up, heading home while wearing Buttons' sweater. It was kinda cold.
Night
"Welcome home, Somnis." Somnis' mother is home, sitting on the couch. She seems to be doing some kind of paperwork. Papers are strewn around on the coffee table. They're all about a missing scientist.
"Hey, mom." Somnis takes off Buttons' sweater and hangs it up in the closet.
"Is that new? I don't think I've ever seen you wear a black sweater before." Mom glances up at Somnis from her papers.
"Oh, yeah. I got it from a friend. It's a gift." Somnis checks her phone. No new messages. She stretches and looks around the room. Things are a bit more unpacked, but there are still a few boxes here and there. "So what are we eating? I'm hungry."
"Tonight? I thought we'd go out somewhere. I didn't have much time to cook anything."
"Oh, okay. I guess I'll have to find something to do inside until then." Somnis heads upstairs to her room. Most of her stuff is unpacked at this point. "Let's see...what to do..."
A.) Look up cute kitty pictures on the internet
B.) Study
C.) Read the vampire book
D.) Read the mystery novel
E.) Read the fantasy story
F.) Read the fishing guide
G.) Call the mysterious number

I'll just call this mysterious number while looking up cute cat pictures on the internet. What could possibly go wrong?
While Somnis looks through pictures of cute animals, she dials the mysterious number. She smiles at how cute they are. "I wish I had a cute little animal. Maybe now that we've moved we can get one..." She considers the thought of having a pet before the phone is suddenly answered.
"Hello? Who is this?" The voice is a girl's. It sounds familiar.
"Hey! Actually, I was wondering who this was."
"What? This better not be Buttons again. I told you to stop asking about my father!"
"Whoa, calm down. I'm not Buttons. He gave me this phone number. My name is Somnis."
"Oh, Somnis? That sounds familiar..."
"I was the girl that ran in late on the first day of school."
"Oh, the weird girl. I thought your name was Bareru-Chan."
"Heheh, yeah, that was kind of a joke. Kind of."
"Wait, are you Buttons' girlfriend?"
"Oh, n-no! Of course not! We're just friends." Somnis is blushing slightly just at the thought.
"Okay. Sorry about that. He's been constantly calling me. It's annoying. So have the detectives and the police." She sighs on the other end. "I just wish they'd leave me alone. I'm just a normal girl. Really. I don't know what their problem is."
A.) "Are you a murderer...?"
B.) "I'm sorry to hear that..."
C.) "Hey, wanna go shopping sometime?"
D.) "Yeah, Buttons is weird."
E.) "That girl, Julia, she's annoying too. So nosy."
F.) "You're that girl who's father disappeared, aren't you...?"
G.) "My mom is a detective."
H.) "Yeah, the police suck."
I.) "You're whiny."

Hmm...I see an oppurtunity for another friend!
"Yeah, the police suck. Let's go shopping sometime."
"Those two things aren't even close to related! And I don't even know who you are!"
"So...? We can still become best friends over a shopping trip!"
"Hell no. I'm not hanging out with Buttons' girlfriend that somehow got my phone number and is a creep." The unknown girl hangs up the phone.
"Aww. No fun." Somnis puts her phone away and heads downstairs. There her mother gets up, putting on her jacket.
"Ready to go, Somnis?"
"Yup!" Somnis puts on Buttons' sweater and heads out the door happily.
That night, while they were eating at some random diner Somnis' mother found, Somnis sat there, wondering why nobody wanted to hang out with her. She wasn't a bad person or anything. Maybe they were just always busy. Wasn't playing in the fountains fun? "So how's school going?" Somnis looks up and realizes her mother asked a question.
She puts on a big smile. "It's great! I already have a bunch of friends and everything!" Somnis then looks back down a moment. She lied, but it's okay. She didn't want mom to worry. Somnis then gets an idea and looks up to her mother. "Hey mom?"
"Yeah?"
"Can we get a cute pet?"
"Hm? Why do you suddenly want a pet?"
"I'm almost an adult now, mom. I can handle the responsibility. Besides. They're so cute! We couldn't have them at the apartment. Come on, please?"
"Well, let me think about it."
"Pleeeaaaaasssseeeee?"
"Well, if you'll really take good care of it and can be responsible...then okay."
"YEAH!" Somnis almost leaps out of her chair.
"We'll go to the pet store on Friday. How does that sound?"
"Thank you! Thank you soooo much! I love you!" Somnis gives her mom a big hug.

Midnight
The strange dream once again returns to Somnis. But this time, it is different. She's not in a room with that mysterious man. She sees a vision of another place. The sky is sunny and blue. It's warm. The field she stands in is full of beautiful flowers. A woman's voice speaks to her. "Human. You are a human. What is that...? A human?" Somnis looks behind her and notices a large flower towering above her. Within the bloom stands a woman bathed in light. Her entire figure is made of a yellow light and she wears beautiful flower armor. Two soldiers with the same radiant glow and flower armor stand at her sides. The woman in the giant flower sits at its edge, looking at Somnis curiously. As if the word "Human" is foreign to her.
"A human. Like me. Or like my friends that came here." That voice does not belong to Somnis. A man phases through her from behind, walking up to the mysterious woman. "We're all humans."
"I've never heard of this before. A human. But you claim you are different then the people that live here."
"Of course. Those animals are just monsters. But we're different."
"Monsters...? That is an odd word for it." The woman frowns. "Everything here has its place. We are all equals, are we not? From the smallest Sun Ferret, to the largest Tricera. What would make you humans different and so special?"
"Well, we're like you. We can talk. We can create. We can study. We can do so much."
"But we are like the 'monsters' as you call them. All of us that live here live as equals in a natural balance. It is my job to watch over such a delicate balance as the Soul Guardian." The woman then smiles and tilts her head slightly. "You humans are interesting."
"Haha, I guess you could say that. You don't mind us being here?"
"Of course not. Why would I mind? New creatures always come and go. It is a natural part of this world."
"You know, I think we could learn a lot from each other. Humans and monsters that is."
"Yes. There is always something to learn..." Somnis' dream begins to fade away as the light of the sunny plains darkens.

September 15th Thursday, Rainy
Morning
Somnis stretched out as she woke up. "Another morning! Another chance to make it a good day!" She jumps up out of bed, getting ready for school before looking outside. "Rain...? I love rain!" She puts on Buttons' sweater and grabs her umbrella before heading outside on her walk to school. Nothing really eventful happens on her walk. But she does enjoy splashing around in the puddles on her way.
Once Somnis reached school, she went through classes as usual. No real interesting events take place. She notices the ninja girl is having trouble studying in class. By that, I mean the ninja girl is drawing pictures of ferrets and talking to the weird, pop tart obsessed kid in class. Oh, and some kid stood up on the tables and screamed during lunch.
"ATTENTION STUDENT BODY! The rumors that Fox was spreading around about vortexes and portals are all true! Last night, I went into one of those portals and the Ferret Mafia stole my pop tarts! I am calling everyone in this room to arms to annihilate those scum of the Earth ferrets! It doesn't matter how many gallons of milk, gasoline, and poptarts we have to use, WE WILL KILL THE POP-TART STEALING FERRETS FROM ANOTHER WORLD AND TAKE BACK WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINE! Now, who's with me?!?!"
Afternoon
Somnis finishes up her paper for her english class and turns it in as the bell rings. She probably did horribly on it, but that's alright. As all the kids start to leave, she considers what to do this afternoon. There were a lot of choices to choose from. There aren't any messages on her phone. It's raining today, so some of the activities that go outside are canceled.
A.) Occult Club
B.) Volunteer Club
C.) Music/Drama Club
D.) Computer Club
E.) Call A Friend (Julia is unavailable)
F.) Study
G.) Give A Rousing Speech On Bareru-Chan
