Dialogue[]

Descend into the depth of Somnoire, the depth of dreams. Here, chaos and noises reign. You watch the fabric of the whole place crumble before you. To the deeper dream, you go, and a faint whisper caresses your ear... In the realms of dreams, only the dream itself holds the answers we seek.

Carnival in Slumberland I[]

(Talk to Ebony Gatekeeper)

Ebony Gatekeeper: We meet again, but you don't look very well.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Relax. From now on, you will only hear my voice, and I will count to three...

Ebony Gatekeeper: One...

The sound of "one" drags on, accompanied by the dull rhythm of droplets or a swinging metronome by your ears.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Two...

???: No... Don't come close. Snow, snow all over the sky...

???: Wish me a happy birthday!

???: Leave here. You don't smell the way "they" do... Greed, wrath, envy...

Ebony Gatekeeper: Three...

*Noise*... Those three seconds felt endless. So many sounds mingled together, drifting through your mind.

What was that?

Ebony Gatekeeper: You look much better now, but before I answer your question, do you... remember the "name"?

Ebony Gatekeeper.

Ebony Gatekeeper: My name, hmm... I guess that kind of works. Sorry to interrupt, but the name is really important to dream "onlookers" like us.

(player name)

Ebony Gatekeeper: Correct. Sorry to interrupt, but the name is really important to dream "onlookers" like us.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Especially now in a deep dream. Condensation, symbolism, refinement... they're all here to make this dream whole and harmonious.

Ebony Gatekeeper: So, when you enter a deep dream as an onlooker, you'll feel repulsion. No dreamer wants the hassle of outsiders, right?

I seem to have heard more than one sound. Are they real?

Ebony Gatekeeper: Yes, they're real. Like I told you when we met, Somnoire is in chaos.

Ebony Gatekeeper: I'm an onlooker who only recently entered the gate to the deep dream, just like you. We're both trying to uncover the truth behind all these strange interferences.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Now let's move on. In the realms of dreams, only the dream itself holds the answers we seek.

(Talk to Ivory Gatekeeper): Ivory Gatekeeper: Meow... Ah, how come...; Meow?; Ivory Gatekeeper: I'm sorry. My power is fading. It might be related to the strange interferences Somnoire is experiencing.; Ivory Gatekeeper: He's away from us now... Did he mention any info useful to you?; He's also looking for something...; Ivory Gatekeeper: Looking for something? Indeed. In the realm of dreams, only the dream itself holds the answers we seek. He keeps saying that when he travels across the doors lately.; Ivory Gatekeeper: You must be absolutely careful while exploring the deep dream. My current power is...; I'll be careful.; Ivory Gatekeeper: Right. I'll try my best to catch up with you.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Be careful of the obscure chunk. It's also causing repulsion from Somnoire. Is it the culprit behind the chaos?

Rover: Obscure chunk? Isn't it the Dreamless?

Ebony Gatekeeper: The Dreamless... Are we seeing the same thing? Is this yet another result of the dreams being mixed up?

Ebony Gatekeeper: Its face reflects the hidden depths of everyone's dreams. It could be a past terror or a long-held desire...

(Talk to Ebony Gatekeeper)

Ebony Gatekeeper: Can you feel it? Though everything looks sweet and inviting as always, something feels off.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Floating swim rings, some are even upside down... Which side is the real surface?

Ebony Gatekeeper: Water polo balls, metal beds, and some half-eaten dessert on the table... Let's see, one, two... six, seven. There are seven different fillings in it.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Conflicting directions, mismatched objects—all coexist in one space harmoniously. A strange experience, isn't it?

Is it due to Somnoire's natural creativity?

Ebony Gatekeeper: Sure, fantasies and creativity are part of dreams, but Somnoire is different. It requires real memories and experiences.

Is it caused by the chaos in Somnoire?

Ebony Gatekeeper: Yes. That's my assumption, too.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Remember the different sounds you heard? If we combine them with what we're seeing now, it seems this deep dream belongs to more than one dreamer.

Ebony Gatekeeper: They might come from different times and places, have different feelings, likes, and dislikes, and see things in various ways.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Their dreamscapes, however, are mixed together due to the anomalies in Somnoire, disrupting the usual laws and order of space.

Ebony Gatekeeper: I see you still don't quite get it. Let's move on then. In the realms of dreams, only the dream itself holds the answers we seek.

(Talk to Ebony Gatekeeper): Ebony Gatekeeper: The disruption is getting stronger, just like when we last saw that strange thing.; Ebony Gatekeeper: The other side of the door could be way more dangerous. Do we proceed?; In the realms of dreams, only the dream itself holds the answers we seek.; Ebony Gatekeeper: Hah, so you are starting to embrace this land of dreams. Then go push it.

(Talk to Ebony Gatekeeper): Ebony Gatekeeper: We'll keep going through more doors and diving even deeper into the dream. Scared now?; *Shake your head*; Ebony Gatekeeper: Good. Let's go. The culprit behind the chaos in this dream is somewhere on the other side.; Ebony Gatekeeper: In the realms of dreams, only the dream itself holds the answers we seek.

Carnival in Slumberland II[]

(Enter the Mystery Dreamland door in Memory of Rest)

Ivory Gatekeeper: I've isolated this space for now, but it won't last long.

The dream is even more chaotic now.

Have you got any ideas about the culprit?

Ivory Gatekeeper: I can't reach a conclusion yet. Let's find that obscure chunk we encountered first—what you saw as the Dreamless.

Ivory Gatekeeper: By the way, before I leave, did he ask you any strange questions, like, what on earth is a dream?

Ivory Gatekeeper: He asked me some similar questions before... Whatever your answer is, I hope you mean it.

Carnival in Slumberland IV[]

(Approaching the Dreamless): Ebony Gatekeeper: There is nothing here except for it. All the sweet dreams and nightmares are kept out of this room.; Ebony Gatekeeper: Does it still look like the Dreamless in your eyes? Take care. I can feel the repulsion is getting stronger in this space.; Dreamless: Blade of Extinction ███Dream███Container███...; Rover: Are those sounds coming from it? What does it want to say...

(After defeating the Dreamless): Dreamless: Blade of Extinction ███Scrap███Executioner██████Delete███...; A harsh scream drowns out all other sounds.; Rover: ...It finally quiets down. It seems that the scream was there to blur its indistinct words. What was it...

(Talk to Ebony Gatekeeper): Ebony Gatekeeper: It disappeared... However, something still feels off around here. The connections within the dream are still here...; Ebony Gatekeeper: Anyway, do you have the answers to those questions now?; ...; Ebony Gatekeeper: ...It's okay. There's more about the dream behind that door. I trust you'll find the answer someday.; Ebony Gatekeeper: We've been here long enough. Too many factors could disturb us. Let's call it a day. We'll go deeper into the dream next time.; Ebony Gatekeeper: In a dream...; In the realms of dreams, only the dream itself holds the answers we seek.; Ebony Gatekeeper: Wake up.

(Talk to Ebony Gatekeeper outside): Ebony Gatekeeper: Still clinging to those obscure words?... Indeed, things remain a riddle.; Ebony Gatekeeper: Only by going through those doors, into the depths of these orderless dreams, can you reach the truth.; Ebony Gatekeeper: When you're in a dream, dream on until you get the answer.; Ebony Gatekeeper: Look forward to dreaming with you again next time...

Carnival in Slumberland V[]

(Approaching the Dreamless): Ebony Gatekeeper: It's showing up again. Be careful. It's a mixture of too many things--sweet dreams, bad dreams, every dream we've ever seen.; Ebony Gatekeeper: No wonder it wears different faces. It's causing even stronger repulsion in the space now compared to the last time we encountered it.; Dreamless: Blade of Extinction Endless possibilities███Record███My duty...; Dreamless: Blade of Extinction Scraps' executioners███No, no██████...; Rover: Its sounds are clear this time...

(After defeating the Dreamless): Dreamless: Blade of Extinction Sweet dreams, bad dreams, ordinary dreams, heroic dreams, empty dreams... They will all continue.; Dreamless: Blade of Extinction They will continue to exist... To put an end to them, we need to... need to find...; Dreamless: Blade of Extinction No, I'm not an "onlooker" of the dream... Only an onlooker in the dream...
