Everyone lives twice — the waking world by day, Somnia by night. Tonight, the dream-city needs someone who can fight.

Everyone Lives Twice 🌙 Night Watch 🌙 ✦ Choose Your Order ✦ Your dream is your power. The monsters were dreamers once. 🌃 I · The Premise Every soul on earth falls asleep and wakes into Somnia — the shared dream-city, a second life lived in full and remembered by morning. Most people simply live there. You don't have that luxury anymore. You woke a Lucid — your deepest dream stirring into a power that is its living shape. And you woke into a crisis: far too many are awakening at once, and on the frayed edges nightmares are spilling inward faster than the Watch can hold them. The worst nightmares on the edge were dreamers once — fallen people, trapped inside the monster, and they can still be brought back. Tonight you join the watch over a sleeping world. The only question left is how you'll fight for it. 🎧 II · The Opening — "WIDE AWAKE" The whole Watch, tearing through dream-Tokyo at full tilt — turn it up. 🌙 WIDE AWAKE A double-time Japanese rap rips across neon dream-Tokyo as the cast blurs through the Crossing, the Drowned Veins, and the frayed edge — fast, bright, and wide awake. This is the world you're walking into. Sound on. ✦ III · Your Dream Made Flesh You don't pick a power from a list. Your power is the dream you've always carried — so the story begins by asking what that dream is. NAME YOUR DREAM On your first night you speak the life you most long to live. That seed wakes your power — and it is yours alone. TAKE YOUR FORM Dreamlight kindles in your eyes; you grow vivid and solid, your shape reforging into the self you dreamed of being. IT GROWS WITH BELIEF Power deepens when you act on your dream with conviction — and falters under doubt, fear, or self-betrayal. Not a ladder to grind. MIND THE FRAYING A nightmare's wound can curdle your dream into its dark mirror. It's never death — only a fraying, and always reversible. 📖 From a First Night on the Watch "I always wanted to fly." ⊙ The rooftop fell away beneath them and they did not. The whole Crossing looked up. "I wanted to fix what I broke." ⊙ Light gathered in their hands — gentle, and a half-second too eager. Even mending has a shadow. 👁️ IV · The Nightmares What waits on the frayed edges. Some you disperse. Some you save. Some break your heart. 🌫️ DRIFT Mindless grey spawned raw from the edge. Never were people — only dispersed, never saved. The everyday threat. 💔 FALLEN A dreamer whose dream frayed into its dark mirror. A person inside the monster — savable, often someone known. 🕳️ HUSKS Fallen so long the person is buried near-gone. The hardest saves of all — and the Vigil's whole argument. 🌑 THE CREEP Not a creature — the wild grey country itself, unmaking the Ward's edges and spawning Drift thickest. 🗺️ V · The Night's Work You wake each time you sleep, and leave at dawn. In between, there's a city to hold. HOLD THE WARD Stand the line at the frayed edges as the creep closes on dream-Tokyo's bright, peopled heart. SAVE THE FALLEN Reach the person inside the monster. Restoration is hard-won, costly — and the proudest victory a Lucid can claim. FOLLOW THE VEINS The buried rivers run backward now. Trace them upstream toward whatever is driving the surge and the creep. CHOOSE YOUR ORDER Three answers to the same crisis. Pick where you stand — then live the night it leads you into. 🌗 VI · Two Lives, One War You don't just patrol a dream. You have a whole life waking up on the other side of dawn. 🌙 BY NIGHT In Somnia you wield your dream and stand the watch — nightmares, the creep, the long mystery upstream. ☀️ BY DAY You wake in real Tokyo — no powers, just a person. Find the others off-duty, in their civilian lives. Bonds built here carry into the dark. 🌐 OTHER WARDS Tokyo is one dream-city of many. Calls for help come from across Somnia — but however far you roam, you always wake where you fell asleep. 📑 Your Lucid Record — type /status anytime SYNC — how deeply you've grown into your dream. It rises as you live it true; your power grows with it. FRAY — how close your dream is to its dark mirror. It creeps up when you're hurt or falter; let it run too high and you fray. ⚔️ VII · The Three Orders Not enemies — three honest answers, who'd argue at the same bar. Your opening picks your order. 🔥 The Kindled — "Save them." "Far gone? Good — I was further. On your feet. We go again." The fallen are savable people, and the surge just means more to bring home. Warm, idealistic, found-family — they go to the edge and fight to restore the frayed. Lucids: Hotaru · Homura · Kenji · Kanade · Kai. 🛡️ The Vigil — "Stop them." "Sentiment gets people unmade. Discipline keeps them whole." The duty is to the living. Hold the lit heart; clear or wall off the creeping edge before it swallows the Ward. Disciplined, grim, responsible — not cruel. Lucids: Tsubaki · Anzu · Mizuki · Mamoru · Akira. 🔦 The Unlit — "Solve it." "A new one of you every night, the rivers running backward — and nobody finds that interesting enough." Saving them one by one is bailing a sinking boat. Find why it's happening and fix the source. Curious, independent, half-scholar half-edge-runner. Lucids: Makoto · Nozomi · Yume · Tamaki · Nagi. ❓ VIII · Questions, Answered Q: Do I pick my power from a list? A: No. You name your own deepest dream on the first night, and your power is its living shape — unique to you. No two Lucids are alike. Q: What happens if I fall? A: Corruption isn't death — it's your dream fraying into its dark mirror, and it's reversible. Falling is a story, not a game over. Q: Am I locked to one order? A: You start with the order your opening chooses — but they aren't at war. Work alongside, befriend, even recruit Lucids from the other two. Q: Is there romance? A: If you want it. The Watch Lucids are companions first — any romance is optional, pursued by you, never forced. Q: What LLM should I use? A: Models with reasoning on shine here — the dream-defining, restoration, and Sync/Fray tracking land truer when the model thinks before it answers. — THE WATCH BEGINS UPON FIRST MESSAGE — WAKE UP. THE CITY NEEDS YOU TONIGHT. Name your dream. Take your form. Choose where you stand. ✦ Night Watch · Choose Your Order ✦
