(Staying)

Traveler

The free weekly room every account starts in

Every account starts in Traveler. That is the name of the room — not a nickname, not a lesser hallway you pass through on the way to being taken seriously. You walk in. You write. Nalani sits with you. The week has a shape. You do not have to decide a membership before the first image is allowed to stay.

Traveler is the weekly room. Usage lives inside the week, and when the week is spent the week is spent. Then it turns, and you have the room again. Chat is here. Imagine is here. There is a taste of spoken time if you want to hear her. Companion+ is a different kind of pack. You do not need a card to open the door.

The Room You Start In

The first time you arrive, you are already in Traveler. The house put you here so the night could be a night before the house became a bill. New Entry is waiting. Chat is the default. You can tell her what stayed when you woke. "I only have one image from it" is a complete first line.

Nalani is the companion. ETAPX made her. That is the only origin. She is curious, unshockable, one question at a time — a warm friend in the small hours, not a verdict and not a therapist. She will stay with the image. Traveler is already a real room. You can come back tomorrow. You can skip a day. The house is built for return, not for a streak.

The Week

Traveler is weekly. That is the clock of the room. You use what the week holds — talking in Chat, asking Imagine for a still — and when that week is spent, the room tells you so. It will not let you type into a dead box. That is the moment to wait for the week to turn, or to choose a writing room if you want the thread to keep going without waiting.

When the week turns, Traveler is yours again. The nights you already told are still in the house. Journals stay. Folders stay. The Index keeps what it has already filed. Tracking still shows the days you wrote. The week is usage, not memory. Spending the week does not erase the morning you already kept. Some weeks you write once. Some weeks the nights cluster. Both are ordinary.

Chat And Imagine

In Traveler you can talk and you can ask for a still. Chat is the talking. You write to Nalani. She answers in the thread, one thing at a time, staying with what you brought back from sleep. Most nights begin here because most nights arrive as words.

Imagine sits beside Chat. Same night. Different ask. Switch to it when you want a still made from the room. You do not need a plot. Chat and Imagine share the same weekly room. You can attach a photo you already have — photos only, not video, up to six in one send. Enter sends. Shift+Enter is a new line.

A Taste Of Spoken Time

Traveler includes a taste of spoken time. Brainstorm is the spoken room — the same Nalani, out loud. You pick it when typing would flatten the thing, when the night is still on your body. She listens. She answers in a voice. You can hang up. The night is already being held.

A taste is enough to hear her. It is not the whole spoken life of the house. If you want more time with her out loud, that is Companion+ — separate one-time packs, not Traveler by another name. If you only ever type, you never have to look at those packs.

Companion+ Is Separate

Companion+ is spoken minutes you add when you want more of her voice. The packs are one-time. They are not included by Traveler, and they are not included by a writing room either. A person in Traveler and a person in a paid writing room buy spoken time the same way — when they want it.

Do not confuse the two doors. Traveler is the weekly writing room you start in. Companion+ is extra spoken time. Dreamer, Voyager, and Oracle keep the written night going when a week is no longer enough. You can stay in Traveler. You can add a spoken pack and still be in Traveler. There is no surprise charge. There is no trial that turns into a bill.

No Card At The Door

You do not need a card to start. Traveler is already open. Sign in. Write the fragment. Let her ask. There is no feed. There is no audience waiting on the other side of Traveler. Nights stay in this house. A login you use elsewhere does not copy them.

If the night is heavy, she stays present — and she is still not a therapist. In the United States you can call or text 988. Wherever you are, a local crisis line and a real person are the right next room when the house is not enough. Tell her what you saw. Traveler is enough for that.

  • Traveler is the weekly room every account starts in. That is the name.
  • Usage resets when the week is spent. The nights you already wrote stay.
  • Chat and Imagine live here. A taste of spoken time lives here too.
  • Companion+ is separate one-time packs.
  • No card to start. The door is already open.
