Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind the lake, The shadows lengthen In Carcosa.
Strange is the night where black stars rise, And strange moons circle through the skies But stranger still is Lost Carcosa.
Songs that the Hyades shall sing, Where flap the tatters of the King, Must die unheard in Dim Carcosa.
Song of my soul, my voice is dead; Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed Shall dry and die in Lost Carcosa.
"...and the world hasn't been the same since. But now your time has come and here you are!"
The moon sits above the world like the watchful eye of some motherly deity. A massive tree the size of a skyscraper grows next to the mass of flesh that is New Notre Dame. The church dolls walk in and out, bringing innumerable indulgences to the cathedral...
"This cathedral will be your home until you get set up. Feel free to play around in the workshop or the tavern if it so pleases you. We owe you this much."
You don't quite remember how you got to this dream, but all the unnerving details don't seem to disturb you for some reason. If anything, it seems comforting, like you've finally come home.
Welcome to a world of dark miracles and unsettling contentment, of dream logic and friendly nightmares. Welcome to New Carcosa.

You also cannot enter combat with or kill another player's character without that player's permission. 4. Please keep it PG-13. They may be strange standards, but they are still standards. 5. If something gets out of hand, such as an argument, please take it to the PMs.
A person about 7 feet tall walks out of the water onto the beach. Like, just walks straight out of the ocean and onto the sand in an unnaturally graceful fashion. The long black dress she wears has various long ribbons that trail off into the surrounding night, moving as though they were alive. Her long silver hair floats gently in the breeze as she looks up at the cathedral in the distance. She smiles ever-so-slightly, and continues walking to her destination.

Several child-sized dolls are gathering creatures from the beach. Upon noticing her, they excitedly run ahead of her and lead the way to the cathedral, despite the fact that it would be a fairly easy walk from here. They are completely silent other than the creaking of joints.

She looks down at the dolls, intrigued and at the same time comforted. "Voie, aokiunoe, inu bnghaideuni." Her voice sounds like two different voices at once, blended into dissonant whispering.
*I used a language generator because I wanted her to sound cool, but I realize it would make her nearly indecipherable. Don't worry, not all of her dialogue is going to be like this.*

They don't seem to respond, but their excitement is clear. They seem eager to bring her to the cathedral for some reason. From this distance, she can see many dolls of similar description cheerily running in and out of the cathedral's main entrance, bringing food and drink and leaving empty-handed.
*I have no idea how to translate that...*

When she finally makes it to the cathedral, a man in a wheelchair greets her at the entrance. "Welcome, child of the waking world! You must be wondering what this is all about, eh?"
He gestures to the tables before the two, the dolls bringing in food from the kitchens to stock them. "Right now we only really have monsters and dolls here, but once we get enough people here, the festivities will begin. Feel free to check out the workshop or eat at the feast while you're here. This is a safe place, after all, and you won't find those out in the Nightmare very often.."

The Workshop is a strange place. There are tools for just about any craft imaginable, but gun- and weapon-smithing seem to be front and center. A powerful-looking machine sits in the center of the room, its long arms pumping bellows and stoking embers. Other than the machine, there is one person here, the room being oddly devoid of dolls.
