背景故事
星光點亮了一排排的書櫃。書櫃中是一本又一本的書,有些是精裝本,有些沒有名字。
在故事的海洋中,一個人影佇足。閉著眼,他用指尖輕輕撫摸著一本書的書脊。畫面閃過他的眼前,提醒他書中的內容。
思緒和記憶湧上心頭。他的呼吸頓了下。有那麼一片刻,他沉浸於痛苦和悲傷之中,陶醉於深刻的絕望。
「你在這啊。」

背景故事
星光點亮了一排排的書櫃。書櫃中是一本又一本的書,有些是精裝本,有些沒有名字。
在故事的海洋中,一個人影佇足。閉著眼,他用指尖輕輕撫摸著一本書的書脊。畫面閃過他的眼前,提醒他書中的內容。
思緒和記憶湧上心頭。他的呼吸頓了下。有那麼一片刻,他沉浸於痛苦和悲傷之中,陶醉於深刻的絕望。
「你在這啊。」
另一個身影出現,將他的心思拉回現實。他微笑,「啊,Metsys。你怎麼在這裡?」
「我可以問你一模一樣的問題,Areixyn。」Metsys 答。
「嘛,我在找靈感啊!」他輕易的回答,「我最近有點瓶頸期,你知道嗎?想不到到底該寫些什麼。」
「你在找靈感,」Metsys 環視四周,「在你存放你自己的背景故事的區域?」
「嘛,你知道的,」Areixyn 的眼神游移,「既然過去的我可以想出這麼多版本,或許我可以從中得到一些靈感?」
Metsys 走近,將他的手從書上移開。「星,別說謊了。」
Areixyn 無語的看向地面。
「今天是你生日。」Metsys 說。
「是啊。」他同意,「我進入繁的那天。我離開,然後重生於此的那天。」
「這是你在這裡的原因嗎?你重新翻閱這些故事的原因?」
Areixyn 看向書本們。「或許吧。」
片刻,兩人都沒有說話。寧靜像是棉被一樣覆蓋著他們。
Metsys 打破寧靜,「家裡有蛋糕。」
「是嗎。」
「你想要別的東西的話,我也可以做給你。」
「好。」
仍牽著對方的手,Metsys 帶著 Areixyn 離開了圖書館。
祝 Areixyn 生日快樂 :D
是的今天是我生日 即使如此生日還是要寫文(淚(不是
趁機寫寫 Areixyn 的故事 之後可能不定期還會寫(?)可以期待期待 :D
Birthday Rituals
In a field of daisies stands a statue in the shape of a color pencil. On the top of the statue is a single yellow and purple pansy. Sitting against the statue, Areixyn is drawing on a field sketch board. Not far away, Metsys stands and looks at aer.
The paper Areixyn is drawing on has an unfinished sketch of a smiling girl. Metsys looks closely at Areixyn.
“What's the point of this?”
Areixyn laughs. “Mets, you should know me better than to ask me what the point of things are, shouldn't you?”
“I know,” Metsys says, “But every time you're here you feel slightly different. And I don't understand why.”
“Well, bold of you to assume that I know why.” Areixyn starts lining the artwork. “Maybe I just want some day to commemorate my dead child self, you know?”
“From what little I know about humans, humans don't tend to do that.”
“Come on, people remember anniversaries of traumatic events too. Well, some do.”
“Did something traumatic happen today?”
Areixyn’s hand pauses. “Hm. Maybe.”
“Maybe I remember it so clearly that I can tell you what day it was. Or maybe I’ve blocked out the memories and just randomly picked a date. Maybe there even isn't a date of death because it was a drawn out process.”
“But eh, who cares? Poemu’s birthday is May 19th because I say so.” Areixyn pokes at the paper with a painting brush.
“Does drawing her every year make you feel better?”
Ae considers for a moment. “It's something I do, alright.”
“Why?” “Why not?”
Metsys sits down in between the flowers. “…I don't have a counter argument.”
“Hm.” Areixyn continues to color the drawing.
A moment passes in silence. Metsys looks at the sun, forever in a golden sunrise.
“Done!” Areixyn sets down the sketch board and creates two plates of cake. “Now we can enjoy the cake!”
“Fruit cake. As always,” Metsys comments and takes a plate.
“It's the classic birthday cake! With the classic pudding too!” Areixyn takes a bite of the cake.
“Does this imply that you had tasted a birthday cake at least some time in your life in Tricos?”
“Come on, it could have been some kid who decided to share a cake with everyone, you know? Or a kind teacher. Or some ad, I don't know.”
happy birthday to Poemu :D
(shh it's still midnight so it still counts as the 19th)
fun fact i originally planned this to be a comic. needless to say after drawing so many daisies (and then blurring them) i do not want to do that again /lh
if you don't click the image for better quality i will cry (jk but still i spent so much time please
生日的儀式感
雛菊花田中,有一根色鉛筆形狀的雕像,雕像頂部插著一朵紫色和黃色的三色堇。坐在花田中,Areixyn 靠著雕像,在素描板上畫畫。不遠處,Metsys 佇立著,看著他。
Areixyn 畫著一個微笑的女孩的草稿。Metsys 凝視著 Areixyn。
「你做這些的意義是什麼?」
Areixyn 笑了。「 Mets,以你對我的認識,不是該知道別問我東西的意義是什麼嗎?」
「我知道。」Metsys 說,「但每次來到這裡,你都有些不一樣。我不知道為什麼。」
「嘛,我就會知道為什麼嗎?」Areixyn 開始描線稿。「你知道,說不定我就是想要找天來紀念死去的童年的我?」
「以我對人類微薄的認識來說,人類通常不會這麼做。」
「拜託,大家也會記得創傷事件的紀念日的。至少有些人會。」
「今天有發生什麼創傷事件嗎?」
Areixyn 的手停頓了一下。「嗯,或許吧。」
「或許我記得清楚到我可以告訴你那天星期幾。又或許我阻隔了記憶,只是隨便挑了個日期。或許根本沒有死亡日期,因為是一個拖了很久的過程。」
「但,嘛,誰在乎?我說帆繪夢的生日是五月十九,那就是五月十九。」Areixyn 用畫筆在紙上點了一下。
「每年都畫一次她,會讓你感覺好點嗎?」
他思考了片刻。「嘛,總之是我會做的事情。」
「為什麼?」「有何不可?」
Metsys 在花叢中坐下。「……我無話可說。」
「嗯。」Areixyn 繼續上著色。
片刻的寧靜。Metsys 看向太陽,永遠停滯在金黃色日出的太陽。
「好啦!」Areixyn 將畫板放下,創造出兩盤蛋糕。「我們現在可以吃蛋糕啦!」
「水果蛋糕。一如既往。」Metsys 評論,接過一盤。
「這就是最經典的口味!還有最經典的布丁!」Areixyn 吃了一口蛋糕。
「這代表你在繁的時候至少吃過一次生日蛋糕嗎?」
「唔,也可以是其他人生日決定給大家分的嘛。或是某個特別好心的老師。或是某個廣告。我不知道啦。」
祝帆繪夢生日快樂 :D
(噓現在是半夜所以還算19號)
是說這篇原本其實是打算畫漫畫 很顯然在畫完一堆雛菊(然後把他們模糊掉)之後我絕對不會再做第二次了(不是
不點開圖片看完整畫質的話我會哭ㄛ(沒但我真的畫很久拜託啦
well ok this applies to any non cis character but you all don't know that many yet so-
嘛其實這適用於任何非順性別的角色啦 不過你們目前知道的不多(
Noxeris Travel Guide
(If you want a full tour, you can get one here!)
What is Noxeris?
Noxeris is the reality we reside in. There are different realities, and Noxeris is the one where my characters and I exist.
Fun fact: I call the reality you live in Tricos!
Universes
In Noxeris, there are different universes. Universes are where most stories happen.
As of right now, there are two universes you can learn about: Summermist Academy and Project RE, but there will be more to come. I hope you look forward to them~
The Lobby
The Lobby is the place where you, and all the other stargazers, have access to!
In general, you don't exactly have access to the universes themselves — you see them through the Lobby.
You are free to envision this place as anything you want. The default, or my version, is a library, but it could be anything else — a hall with windows and mirrors showing different scenes, a collection of little planets, or, well, I guess you could also just see it as a Tumblr blog.
The hourglass allows you to read all the content in a chronological order. (It doesn't work on mobile though, sadly.)
The mailbox lets you send stuff to both me and all the other characters. Generally, anything’s good as long as I can tell what character a letter is for, but I do have the ability to direct your letters to another character, including me, if I think it's better for them to answer.
Tags
☆ Noxeris
Basically means “my post.”
Fun fact: the hourglass is actually just posts tagged with Noxeris, but with a “/chrono” at the end of the URL. This trick also works for the other tags, if you want to read the posts in that tag chronologically.
☆ Universe Tags
These tell you what universe the post is set in.
There's a special universe tag — nowhere. This tag is used for characters like me, who do not belong to any universe.
☆ Character Tags
Usually formatted as character name, followed by a “universe code.” Summermist Academy is “sma,” Project RE is “re.” As for people like me, since we're “nowhere,” there also isn't a universe code.
Sometimes not everyone who appears in a post is tagged. My logic is basically “would you want to see this post if you're scrolling in their tag looking for them specifically,” and “does this post contain important information about them.” Though if you think a post is tagged inappropriately, feel free to tell me!
☆ Post Types: Media
These tags indicate the type(s) of media of a post. If the post is not a work, then there will be no such tag.
.txt — writing
.png — drawing
.mp4 — animation or other video
☆ Post Types: Reblogs
copy — A self reblog.
facsimile — A reblog from someone else.
☆ Post Types: Content Type Tags
Archival Records — They are like the “main storyline” — basically, posts where most of the story is. In a sense, they're a complete, full snippet of the story. It could be a short story, a comic, an illustration with some dialogue — but the point is, it's a complete snippet.
Document Fragments — They are also part of the story, but they tell stories less directly. Lines of dialogue with no clear speaker, snippets of a document file, or maybe an old photo. Document fragments also contain important information, though you might need to decipher it. That's why poems and trailers also count as document fragments, since they might only make sense in the future.
Reference Sheets — Actual reference sheets, but also posts with little to no story that still contain important information. A drawing of a character’s scars, a map of a place, or a timeline of events, they all count as references sheets. If an ask involves information that I deem important, it might also be tagged as a reference sheet.
Loose leaves — Basically stuff that aren't a part of the story. Usually, anyway. Things like posts purely for celebrations, or just things that I’ve made for fun. Sometimes it's also my way of saying “this probably didn't happen.” Canonicity is generally in a state of “I’m not saying this happened for sure, but it could, and if it did this is how it would likely go,” like an imagined scenario or an alternate timeline. Or you could just take everything in loose leaves with a grain of salt.
Answer Sheets — The tag for asks.
Author’s Notes — Posts that only consist of me saying something. Could be important announcements, but also could just be rambling or random thoughts.
Now that you know the basics of how Noxeris and the Lobby work, have fun and enjoy your stay! May your dreams be starry and your reality be sugary ☆
The Travel Guide for Noxeris
(You find yourself somewhere unfamiliar. You were simply reading a post just now, weren't you? Where is this place?)
(Before you come up with more questions, a person appears in front of you. Their hair is white with purple at the ends, and they’re wearing a hairclip with a veil that covers half of their face. They smile brightly at you.)
The phantom of dreamful nights greets you with passion, dear stargazer! I am Areixyn, pronouns are ae, they, or xe. I am the creator of this place, and welcome to Noxeris!
…Hmm, You seem somewhat lost. Well, fret not, for that is exactly why I’m here — I shall be your guide for today!
Ah, before we start, have this.
(A pamphlet is given to you.)
This has everything I’m going to cover. Well, ok, I might add some extra information in this tour, but the most important information is all in here. If you're in a rush — or if you just don't want to listen to me rambling, I guess — reading this would suffice! This does get a little — ok, I’ll admit, quite — long, so I don't blame you if you just want to get straight to the point.
Oh, I suppose I should start with what Noxeris even is.
Noxeris is the reality we reside in. You see, there are different realities, and Noxeris is the one where my characters, and I, exist. By the way, I call the reality you live in Tricos.
There's a reason I don't say “universe” — because in Noxeris, there are different universes.
Universes are where stories happen. Well, most of them, at least.
As of right now, there are two universes you can learn about: Summermist Academy and Project RE.
There will be more universes to come. I hope you look forward to them~
Where we are right now is also a universe, but it’s slightly different to the others. This is where I call the Lobby — the place where you, and all the other stargazers, have access to!
Right, maybe what I said was a bit confusing. In general, you don't exactly have access to the universes themselves — you see them through the Lobby.
You are free to envision this place as anything you want. The default, or my version, is a library, but it could be anything else — a hall with windows and mirrors showing different scenes, a collection of little planets, or, well, I guess you could also just see it as a Tumblr blog.
In the Lobby, you can find all the works I’ve posted. Of course, the default sorting method is newest first. However, if you're new here, this hourglass may be useful. It allows you to read all the content in a chronological order. Sadly I don't think it works in mobile, so if you use the app, you might have to manually click to the oldest posts… Sorry!
We also have a mailbox — or, yes, an ask box! You can send stuff to not only me, but also all the other characters — I will help deliver your words to them. Generally, anything’s good as long as I can tell what character a letter is for, though do keep in mind that I have the ability to direct your letters to another character, including me, if I think it's better for them to answer.
Since there's such a wide variety of things I put in the Lobby, the tags on a post can help a lot in knowing what it's about!
Almost all of my posts are tagged with “Noxeris” — this is basically my way of saying these posts are by me.
If you look closely, the hourglass is actually just posts tagged with Noxeris, but with a “/chrono” at the end of the URL. This trick also works for the other tags, if you want to read the posts in that tag chronologically.
Next are what I call universe tags and character tags. As the name suggests, universe tags show you what universe the post happens in or is talking about.
There's a universe tag that's a little different: nowhere. You see, I — along with some others you’ll come to know about — do not live in any universe. Therefore, stories involving us technically happen nowhere.
Of course, they're obviously happening somewhere. This post, for example, is also tagged as nowhere, but you know we're in the Lobby. I simply tag these posts as such because, well, don't you think it sounds cool? It's not everyday you get to say you're “nowhere”, you know?
Character tags are usually the character’s name, followed by a “universe code”, so to speak. Summermist Academy is “sma”, Project RE is “re”. As for people like me, since we're “nowhere”, there also isn't a universe code.
Oh, do note that sometimes not everyone who appears in a post is tagged. If they only appear for like, one line, then I might decide not to tag them. My logic is basically “would you want to see this post if you're scrolling in their tag looking for them specifically,” and “does this post contain important information about them.” Though if you think a post is tagged inappropriately, feel free to tell me!
Then we have perhaps the most complicated, but also most important thing in this whole tour — post types.
Let's start with the simpler ones. Tags like “.txt” or “.png” indicate what type of media the post has. Writing is .txt, drawing is .png, and animations or other videos are .mp4 … I’m sure you get the idea.
Oh, I also have tags for reblogs. In fact I have two. Copy means it's a self reblog, while facsimile means it's reblogged from someone else. Also, edited copy means the self reblog is due to edits to the original post. When I edit a post, I reblog it with this tag to show that there's some info that has been changed.
The next ones are what I call content type tags. They indicate what type the content is… actually, I’ll just introduce them one by one.
First we have archival records. Archival records are like the “main storyline” — basically, posts where most of the story is. In a sense, they're a complete, full snippet of the story. It could be a short story, a comic, an illustration with some dialogue — but the point is, it's a complete snippet.
Then there are document fragments. They… well… they also could be anything. Lines of dialogue with no clear speaker, snippets of a document file, or maybe an old photo. Document fragments tell stories too, but in a more obscure way. They also contain important information, though you might need to decipher it. That's why poems and trailers also count as document fragments, since they might only make sense in the future.
Next we have reference sheets. They don't just apply to actual reference sheets, but also posts with little to no story that still contain important information. A drawing of a character’s scars, a map of a place, or a timeline of events, they all count as references sheets. If an ask involves information that I deem important, it might also be tagged as a reference sheet.
Loose leaves are basically stuff that aren't a part of the story. Usually, anyway. Things like posts purely for celebrations, or just things that I’ve made for fun. Sometimes it's also my way of saying “this probably didn't happen.” Canonicity for loose leaves might sound a bit complicated, but generally, it's in a state of “I’m not saying this happened for sure, but it could, and if it did this is how it would likely go,” you get what I’m saying? It's like an imagined scenario, an alternate timeline.
I mean, well, I suppose you could also just take everything in loose leaves with a grain of salt. That… that would probably be less complicated, I guess.
Finally, we have answer sheets and author’s notes. Answer sheets are the tag for asks, and author’s notes are posts that only consist of me saying something. Could be important announcements, but also could just be rambling or random thoughts.
Phew! That's about it, I think. Thanks for putting up with this very long tour — I tend to ramble a bit, sorry. I hope this tour helps with navigating between these stories. Enjoy your stay, stargazer — may your dreams be starry and your reality be sugary!

凝夢旅遊指南
(如果想要完整導覽的話可以點這裡!)
凝夢是什麼?
凝夢是我們居住的現實。許多不同的現實存在,而凝夢是我的角色們和我所在的現實。
你知道嗎?你居住的現實,我稱之為繁!
宇宙
凝夢裡有許多宇宙。宇宙是大部分故事發生的地方。
就目前為止,有兩個你可以認識的宇宙:夏嵐學院和 Project RE 。未來還會有更多,可以期待一下~
大廳
大廳是你,還有所有其他觀夢者們,可以接觸的地方!
通常來說,你並沒有辦法直接接觸到各個宇宙——你只能透過大廳看到他們。
你可以自由把這個地方想像成任何樣子。默認,或者說是我的版本,是一個圖書館,不過也可以是任何其他東西——一個充滿窗戶與鏡子、顯示著不同畫面的長廊,一群小小的星球,或,好吧,你也不是不能就把這裡看作一個 Tumblr 部落格。
沙漏可以讓所有的作品都照發佈時間排序。(遺憾的是手機版好像用不了這個功能。)
信箱可以讓你寄信給我和其他所有角色。基本上只要我看的出信是給誰就好,不過我也有能力把你的信寄給其他角色,包括我,如果我覺得這封信給那個角色回答更好的話。
標籤
☆ 凝夢
基本上就是「我的貼文」的意思。
你知道嗎?沙漏其實就是標有凝夢的貼文,但網址最後有個「/chrono」。這個小技巧其實也適用於其他的標籤哦!它可以讓那個標籤的貼文以發佈時間排序。
☆ 宇宙標籤
告訴你這篇貼文是發生在或是關於哪個宇宙。
有個特別的宇宙標籤——無處。這個標籤用在像我這樣不屬於任何宇宙的角色。
☆ 角色標籤
通常格式是角色全名加一個「宇宙代碼」。夏嵐學院是 sma , Project RE 是 re 。至於像我的人,畢竟我們在「無處」,我們的標籤也沒有宇宙代碼。
有時候一個角色出現在一個貼文裡不一定代表會有他的標籤。我的判斷標準基本上是「如果你在翻他的角色標籤你會想看到這篇嗎」以及「這篇文有關於他的重要資訊嗎」。不過如果你覺得某篇文有缺或多打標籤,可以告訴我!
☆ 貼文種類:形式
這些標籤顯示一個貼文的形式。如果這篇貼文裡沒有作品,就不會有這類標籤。
.txt — 寫作
.png — 繪畫
.mp4 — 動畫或其他影片
☆ 貼文種類:轉發
拷貝 — 轉發自己的文
傳真 — 轉發別人的文
☆ 貼文種類:內容種類標籤
檔案紀錄 — 有點像「主線故事」——簡單來說就是大部分的故事。在某種程度上,它們是一個完整的故事片段。它可以是小短文、漫畫、插畫再加幾句文案——但總之,它是完整的一個片段。
文本碎片 — 也是故事的一部分,不過它們講故事的方法比較迂迴一點。講者不清楚的對話、某個文件的片段、或也許是某張舊照片。文本碎片也包含重要資訊,不過你可能需要稍微解讀一下。這也是為什麼詩和預告片也算是文本碎片,因為可能只有在未來你才會明白它隱含的意思。
參考資料 — 參考資料或參考圖,但也可以是任何幾乎不含故事成分,純粹是重要資訊的文。某個角色疤痕的圖、某個地方的地圖、某些事件的時間線,這些都算是參考資料。如果有問題問到我覺得重要的資訊,也有可能被我歸在參考資料。
活頁紙 — 基本上就是任何不是故事一部分的東西。通常啦。像是純粹慶祝生日或節日的貼文,或是我寫好玩的東西。有時候這個標籤也是代表「這大概沒有真的發生」的意思。關於活頁紙的內容算不算官方設定,基本上是處於一種「我沒有說這確切有發生,不過可以發生,而且如果發生了那這大概就是過程」的狀態,像是一個想像的情境、另一個時間線發生的事。但你也可以直接對活頁紙的所有內容都持半信半疑的態度。
答案卷 — 提問的標籤。
作者註 — 指這篇貼文純粹只有我在說話。可以是重要公告,不過也可以是一些廢話或碎碎念。
現在你也大致了解凝夢和大廳了,盡情享受在這裡的時光吧!願你的夢境充滿星光,現實充滿糖霜 ☆
