Dreams 11 : Magical Post Secondary
5 years ago
It started out a bit kinda like a nightmare, i was off in a place where darkness was somewhat surrounding me some sort of a threat of some sort, I am not really sure waht it was but I sumbled acrross comeone who I considered a freind, who brought me back to her house, and ther we met her family. Theree was a odd vibe of the whole place and in that place her family had drinking problems, I found some sweet har dliqour inside onf of the shelves, and something else darker and maybe blueberry. I grabbed a ffull bottle of both and took 3 hard swigs of the sweet stuff, it had a candy sweet flavour and a sharp razberry flavour in it as well. These drinks gave me clarity against what I was against, outside the window a huge creature almost a statue like 5 feet tall apeared and looked towards me. I ducked away from the window of what might have been a bathroom both bottles in hand and into the hallway where my freind and someone inher family was. We were like shit it's coming, which lead to the creature grabbing her through the wall and pulling her out of the house. I ran up towards her and threw her a bottle of the blue drink, and she lit it up at the top and turned it intoa molotov throwing it at the creature, stunning and burning it, but instead of stopping it grabbed at me a bit, it had me for a second and lifted me closer to my freind who said here take the lighter. They threw it at me and I fumbled to catch it. IT tumbled down my chest and towards the ground, but the creature apprently was too confused and slipped loosing their grip on me and i went down to retreive the lighter. I ran to the back of the yard we were in, brandishing the lighter to light the bottle I held, and got ready to throw it to save my freind, before I heard a loud noise coming towards me, as I threw th ebottle and it contacted the huge creature a massive light came on some sort of vehicle mounted spotlight and it blinded it. My freind was released and then they unlesed a large caliber gun on it, tearing it apart and it fell down destroyed.
This lead to the second arc of this story, I had been signing my name on some sort of government paper work, avoiding making some weid jokes about the suspitious timing of this agency and how they knew to be just there and ready with the right weaponry, but making some snarky jokes about pop culture like sasquatches and secret agencies, but I also wrote my name fairly strangely as if it was like 50 characters long, but I geuss the liqour from earlier affecte dme still because I could barely keep still and the paper was so ahrd to write on. I finally signed this non disclousure paper that the leader of the millitary group gave me. And they said they had some place for me and my freind. Apparently specail threats like this and exposure allowed you permission to access to some sort of alternative perspective of society.
Next thing I know I am in some sort of a classroom with stuff I would normally take to my college classses, plus some extra nicknacks, and I had a tacher trying to help me and others discover who we were based on previous encounters and how we mirror tropes. So she told us to open a large binder infront of us with a tap amoung 50 others, the one we were to look at was called IU, she didnt explain what it stood for, but inside I saw a picture of a short blue animated dog thing, I think I know the character but I don't rember who it was. The teacher said these are just ropes to give concepts of our strength and not really direct comparisons, from here I went to the other side of the classroom to throw some garbage I had in my hand away I think I had candy in my bag I was munching on? But I met another classmate who talked little but it wasn't really relevant to anything so I went back to my desk and studied for a few more minutes before class ended.
The freind of m ine already made another freind and I felt like I didnt know either but they somewhat knew me, I didn't finish packing my papers and stuff up yet because I was unaware of when the class would end, so I went out of the room and said hey i'll catch up with you, and they said yeash sure, we are going to the library to study what we were shown and I was like oh good to hear but I have to clean up quick. They seemed to kinda shrug, so I was like oh hey how about if I get your cellphone number, and they looked at me in disgust like cellphone were strange somehow, and said no it's fine just get to the library. So with a distant confused sigh I left to pack up my stuff. During this time so much time passed for me packing up my many different items into my tight packed bag a second class came in, and the teacher simply ignored my packing and started to teach. He made some sort of referances towards this being magical art theory, and everybody had huge dnd 3.5 books of varrying quality. As I packed my desk one or two students gave me a look like I interupted the order of the seating by being in the way but were waiting for me to move anyhow. One person who replaced me had a bag full of candy, but the teacher said no gummies because of last time, and he groan loudly in frustration and dumped many candies on the floor, which a few i accidentally stepped on, for some reason I had a few in my ag so handed him one which he coveted greatly and poped into his mouth within seconds, wrapper gone and him happy, as I made my way towards the door of the class, and bowed shyly saying sorry for the interuption and slipped out the door not awaiting a response.
From here I threw on my heavy bag and tried to figure out this new world i've been throw in, it had large halls and almost reminded me of a mall, everything was connected together but had everything you could ever want in it, except the problem is I had no idea where the library was, so I just walked forward in a random direction, possibly kinda where I thought I saw the other two go. At some point I saw a girl with a pet goat and some unruley baloons with masive stringts, the goat leaped ast some strings and she almost lost some of the baloons, so I came over and gave her a hand by grabbing a few of the balooons, she looked at my cuiriously but didnt object, the girl got the goat under control and I left the baloons to float, unsure of what was even going on between these two. She didn't say anything back so I said alright have a nice day and walke d away from her. From here I walked passed some sort of casino like structure, I could se epeople trading chip and money and someone making some sort of announcement to sell the store, sure gambling can be illigal and your not allowed to risk money but chip arn't illigal to play with and we can give you some of those. Out of curiosity I went into the casino no to play but to find some sort of person who wasn't distracted, and I found a floor manager and a building manager. I asked the floor manager, hey I had a stupid question but... I seem to be new to this place, and she looked at me funny and with a hint of anger that I was wasting her time and replied, fine kid what do you want to know. My response was simple and strange, what exactly is money here? She pause and contorte dher face in fconfusion, you want ot know what, what kind of inane question is that, I replied quickly, well i'm not from this place and obviously you use money I am not famlilair with and I am sure my normal person money is vcalueless to you. She feigned a gasp of suprise, oh your one of those people, why yes we use a few different types of money and yours does nothing, could jut magic it up on a whim, best my money can do is get 2% interest out of the air. I sighed, oh alright I had a f eeling, and started to walk away, she said, good luck kid, you'll need it. and left the casino.
On the outside just as I left, a man gave me a dark and mischevious look as I walked past, but for some reason he was the only person in the entire hallway which both end turned 90 degrees towards the center of the complex but I couldn't see. He then struck and grabbed at my bag trying to take it from me, I was about to try anythign in return to keep hold of my only possesions when out of the blue a identical man came and punched him in the face, he motioned to follow him, so I started along beside him, down the left path away from the casino. More of these mirrors came and pounced ontop of the second, so I said screw this and ran the other way, a few more started to apear near me, and I continued to run, down the opposite way i started and around the corner, before I heard a voice, if you would like to continue this action adventure, please input some sort of currency, I was breathing too hard to catch whatever it was and just said no no no no get away stop leave me alone. and was out in the main pedestrian wwalkway of the complex again. There were some banisters around for me to lean on I think there was some sort of bar/restaurant for the casino across the way and other mingling spots nearby. I rested for a short bit and collected my thoughts, and then noticed one nearby building was some sort of arcade.
Feeling the need for a distrraction from this world to something I was a bit mor famliar with I went to explore this arcade, except it seemed that it was completely composed of 80s arcade machines mixed with a few magically enhanced machines meant to simulate more advanced technology like basic 3D holograms, many of them had marketing to explain that this was the latest in human technology, tooks to marvel the eyes, except these were all crusty and well used and like they had been there for 40 years. As I examined the different machines I came across a staircase upwards, I wasn't really sure where it went other then a floor above where I came, but at the top of the stairs were two critters, they almost looked like they were in fursuits, but something was off, one was purple with a tophat and the other was grey and green, i think they were like a racoon and a sergal of some sort. They were laying down at the top of the stairs watching me. So I greeted them catiously, so hello, I geuss your intereested in me for some reason.... They replied they noticed my lack of money and my potential for using magic or something and that I would be a great asset in a scheme they had cooking. I patted the one with the tophat on the head and said I dunno sounds risky maybe I shouldn't get involved. It replied, oh don't worry you have no money your not going to survive out here anyhow, where are you going to sleep and eat, in which I reluctantly agreed to come with. They stood up, and the purple one with the tophat I could see their body clears now, it was long and slender, and they wre covered in tights, with purple and black stripping toe to tophat. I don't remeber the other one, but as I followed along behind them, we walked through the bar/restaurant I saw earlier, but through the center of it instead of seeing it from the outside. I wondered what kinda food they served but then I saw a weird box with a lever lid on a table. I gave it a poke, it seemed to be some game of chance, and said, you win! on the first prod, i stared at it in confusion and poked it again, and it made some rolling noises before saying oh not this time. A small counter knocked a tiny sum off a huge number and I was like huh, so I prodded it again and it said I lost again, but the number knocked off was larger, I poked it three more times to see what would happen, bigger loss each time and I said screw this and got out of there before I figured out exactly what was going on to my disbenefit. I caught up with my to compatriates and asked what was that, as we endered some sort of rocky cave system with water flowing nearby, and they said it's just a trap for stupid people don't worrya bout it. I asked them where the library I had originally come around here for was, and they turned towards me and snickered abit, oh don't worrya bout that. Then I woke up.
