Comments: A lovely thread, you two (and lots of knowledge)! I really enjoy how you each write dream threads for your characters. Faith tends to be very whimsical with her dreams, while Arlo's skill as a Dreamwalker means he can be more measured and thoughtful in the way he approaches his dreams. The interaction between the two was a lot of fun, and I especially enjoyed how the thread ended with Arlo riding the carousel and then simply disappearing. Just perfect! Also, Faith - I love the idea that PB was spawned from her sub-conscious and that maybe, just maybe, he’s voicing all the thoughts she secretly has. (“Bed warmer. Stud muffin. Love bunny.”) Ha!

Arlo, this is a friendly reminder that you have enough devotion points for Jesine to add “Dream Seeker” to your blessing abilities. If you could also update the first ability to note that it’s called “Sanctuary,” that would be awesome.

One note I would make is that the "Dream Seeker" ability only gives Arlo the ability to enter dreams of the people he knows in the living world. It sounds like Faith and Arlo haven’t met outside of Emea, so he wouldn’t have been able to consciously enter her dream like he did. I haven’t deducted any points, but I also haven’t awarded knowledge for this particular ability as a result. In future, please ensure that he knows the individuals outside of Emea before entering dreams consciously (or has the Trespassing ability from Dreamwalking!).

Overall, a great tale. Wonderful storytelling, you two!

If you feel I've missed anything or if you have questions about your review, please don't hesitate to send me a quick PM. Thanks!
