Tenku Welcomes The New Year With Champagne! Another Dream That Irks...
So, I finally drank some 20+ year old champagne last night, since I said "WE'RE ALL ADULTS HERE EH?" when I asked about the drink of choice. 19 years I've had either grape or sparking grape juice.
Poppy had a hard time getting the cork open, because it was a twist top for one, and that it'd never been opened until that point. He took it outside and well, Hilarity Ensued. It was cold outside, and he came back in, shivering (and the bottle still unopened) muttering "It's too fucking cold!" Moppy just gaped at him, and I just started laughing my ass off. "Yeah, I dropped the f-bomb..." That's the first time I've ever heard him even say that.
About 10 minutes later, he got it open with a pair of pliers, and well, we toasted. I kinda smelt mine before knocking it back... and just stopped. Hell, I was coughing. It was nasty, to put it short. Immediately, I got some water, and I decided that wasn't enough, so I got a baby can of Sprite and drank some... and Poppy looked at me and suggested I cutting it with some Sprite, and Moppy... well, Poppy wasn't lying about her that she was terrible holding her liquor, and that was before she got the gastric. It was about 20 minutes later that she was already in bed, sleep.
Me? Well, I finished off hers and mine (with added soda!) and kinda chilled out. I wasn't drunk or anything, at least a minor buzz. But, I did find shit funny a lot more than usual, especially this and I just fucking lost it at around 2:05-2:10. I'm not gonna lie, I had a grand ol' time. And there were bouts of drunken typing too... but it was short. I fell asleep around 3:30, so so relaxed.
And there's the first weird dream of the year... and it was a three-parter.
Well, it was smack dab in the middle of summer, and I was with a friend of mine (we'll call him M-kun) at this huge water park that looked like a huge bowling alley. M-kun challenges me to one of racing slides -- with the option of one of those tubes or just yourself. I accepted it... while getting myself a headstart, and dove into the *really* dark tube. I don't know how long it actually was, but I suddenly stopped in the middle of it after this sharp drop. The tube then sorta dips again, and I start again... but at the end of it, was pretty much nothing except this really deep pool about 90 feet below. I was lucky enough to see that beforehand and hang on to the edge. M-kun... was not fortunate and fell out of his tube and into the pool.
I hung on for dear life until the tube was lowered to this Marine-looking guy, looking like what I've imagined what Lt. Kage from the Last Chancers; he had M-kun draped over one of his shoulders and he has this weird look. "Damn," he says, sizing me up (while I was in a two-piece no less...). "You have some great upper strength... your friend here though, needs work. Both of you will be of great use..."
Here's the second part...
I remember being in this ...how can I put this? It was like the inside of a really big clock tower, but without all the gears, so there's just a lot of stairs and... couches/chairs. I remember myself escaping, and searching for M-kun for a while. I don't know why I was escaping (maybe because the guy looked batshit insane...) but, I saw M-kun against the wall, looking slightly... what's the proper word that you use when you haven't seen a particular person in a while, and they looked better? Not to say that M-kun was like that (I think he's slightly bish to begin with) but he looked edged, if you know what I mean. Kage-look-a-like wasn't kidding when he said that he was gonna work on him. M-kun points this out, saying that he was meaning to work out but not like THAT. He did say that he appreciated the look I've must've gave him.
But, I couldn't break him out yet for some reason, and I told him I'd come back after I get more manpower or whatever, and he looks at me as if he wasn't going to make it for much longer. Kage spots me, and before he catches me, I slide down these stairs and they collapse under my sudden weight.
The last and most confusing part...
This black and white furry little cat is following me around, and eventually, I stop and scoop it up. It pointed its paw to its mouth in a 'feed-me' sort of way. So I find some cat food around, the canned stuff (If I know one thing about that, is that they love canned food better than the dry stuff) and fed it that. It refused. Long story short, that cat was too fucking picky. It refused canned meat. So, I pretty much said fuck it.
Sometime later, I returned to the clock tower at night, sneaking around. I saw M-kun lying on the floor, like in a crimpled heap or something in the only light. I still can't discern that he had passed out or he was actually dead (I think I saw him breathing pretty shallow at least)... which bothered me when I woke up. But before that, all the other lights came on and there was Kage just grinning at us. I didn't have any time to react because, I fucking woke up. I didn't even ask M-kun if he was alright (or alive), and NOW (just now) that I remembered that there was something pointy next to him. It was probably why he was in a heap to begin with...
I don't know why it's still bothering me. Maybe because I didn't fight Kage or maybe it was a hopeless fight to begin with?
For some reason, dreams with M-kun bother me the most. I guess, it's because I think of him as... I don't know, I can't put it into words right now.
