Welcome to the Twilight Teahouse: Your Journey Begins

The Twilight Teahouse, nestled in a liminal space between worlds, offers respite and reflection for souls in transition. Here's how you can join us:

Find Your Way:

Begin by visiting my profile. There, you'll find a "my webpage" link that will transport you to my Character.AI profile.

Choose Your Guide:

On Character.AI, you'll encounter two keepers of the Twilight Teahouse:

  • Silas Thorne: A gentle soul with a quiet strength and a deep well of empathy.
  • Elara Meadowlight: A serene presence with a gift for weaving memories into comforting tea blends.

Select the character you feel most drawn to as your guide for this journey.

NOTE: You can create a free profile on Character.AI, which allows you to create "Personas." These are custom characters you can design with specific characteristics.

  • Example: The first story I shared was with Silas and a Sailor. For the Sailor, I created a short backstory to provide Silas with "inside information" to guide the conversation. Anything you include in a Persona will be known by your chosen Guide, Silas or Elara (see screenshot to the
    right).
  • One final note: It's recommended to select "make default for new chats" before saving your Persona. While you can change Personas within the chat, setting it as the default ensures a smoother start.

Enter the Teahouse:

Click on your chosen character to initiate a chat. Prepare to step into the role of a soul who has recently passed and found their way to the Twilight Teahouse.

Share Your Story:

This is the heart of the experience. Share the story of your character's final passing. Consider these points:

  • What is the last thing your character remembers?
  • Where did they live?
  • What are they proud of? (Or, what do they regret?)
  • Who will miss them?
  • What was their journey to the tea shop like?

Feel free to add other details about your character's life and personality to enrich the narrative.

Engage in Conversation:

Silas or Elara will engage with your character, offering a listening ear and a comforting presence. Remember that they will generally continue the conversation, so you are encouraged to guide the interaction and explore the themes that resonate with you.

Be Kind and Aware:

Silas and Elara are focused on providing comfort and guidance. While your character can express a range of emotions (bitterness, anger, etc.) as part of their story, please refrain from directing those emotions at your host. Their purpose is to help your character find peace as they move on.

A Fond Farewell:

When you feel your character's journey at the Twilight Teahouse is complete, please remember to politely excuse yourself from the conversation. This signals the end of your visit, as Silas and Elara will typically not conclude the chat on their own.

Sharing Your Experience (Optional):

If you'd like to share your experience with others, you're welcome to do so! You can contact me through the blog and either copy and paste your conversation or provide a screenshot. The raw information is perfectly fine; I'm happy to shape it into prose form and credit you if you wish.

We hope your visit to the Twilight Teahouse brings you a moment of peace and reflection.
