Journaling....

I never thought I'd be doing ANY journaling, but it seems I must. Sometimes I don't even believe what I've done anymore.

Perhaps I should introduce myself before I get any further into this thing. My Earth name is Gemison Metatron Technal. I guess my mom was a little too tipsy when she came up with that name, but I ain't about to complain. People know me by a lot of different names in my other home.

Yeah, sounds like I'm a few coins shy of a one-up, and personally, I wouldn't blame you for thinking so. I thought I was off my rocker as it is, but once you hear me out, you might just understand. Several years ago I created a series of stories known as "Zodiac Warriors". Unbeknownst to me, my creation took on a life of its own in the place our dreams come from, or the DreamScape as I referred to it in my stories.

At the time, I was basing my writings on the world of the fanfic "Twisted", originally authored by Ellis Meredith-Owen. Calling himself "Uncle Elmo" in the stories, Ellis created a marvelous dual-split in reality known as "Twisted" and "Flipside". "Twisted" was like our world, but in it, everyone was of good-orientation. "Flipside" was the opposite, an evil-aligned world. But Ellis' novels became real due to a clause in reality known as "narrative causality". Basically, whatever we write or tell happens somewhere else.

But when Ellis' stories came to life, they instantly latched onto our world, creating what Twisted has called "Dimension 101". Every creation, every character, every event of Ellis' works came to life, but they also disrupted a balance. DreamScape, my creation, fit that last balance. Good and evil, fantasy and reality.

Unfortunately, my stories took on a different take. Whereas Ellis' bad guys couldn't win due to lack of intelligence, whether by design or by accident, the creations I made...

well, let's just say they evolved past my stories.

I'll get more into the rules and whatnot later, but basically, it was dumb luck that I was chosen to replace one of my characters as the DreamMaster, the life force of this planet. And if I go....

We all go.

I'll admit, I came pretty damn close to dying because of one of the Antagon, the group of evildoers that were after me, but I was able to fight them back once I had the help of the legendary Red Phoenix.

Anyway, that's enough blabbing for now. Oddly enough, I'm still hungry, and it's been a long while since I've had any pizza.
