Dream 05 → What Do You Mean It's (Not) Symbolic?

[insorrow]

Dream Effects: A slight feeling of disconnection. Confusion, lots of it, and the dawning awareness that you're having a (rather weird) dream.
Warnings: Rampant symbolism. Forgive me.

It's good to see you back with us, Ken.

[insorrow]

[... oh, yeah. He cut his hair and started smiling.]

Yeah... Me and Youji, by the look of it. When'd he get back? He's being [Youji?] kinda unhelpful.

[beyondweiss]

So he's being normal.

He arrived about a week ago.

[insorrow]

Well, why'd he make such a production number of it? That's all I wanted to know, when he got here, you'd think I'd asked him to cut off his arm or something--

[He laughs briefly.] Guess he is being normal.

[beyondweiss]

We are talking about Youji here. I'm sure he did it to get a reaction out of you.

[insorrow]

Ain't that why he does everything?

[And yet I'm glad he's back. Go figure that.]

So, uh... anything else happen while I was out?

[beyondweiss]

That sounds about right.

And not really. Things are quiet right now.

[insorrow]

Which probably means we're gearing up for something again, right? Reckon the heat's a part of it?

[beyondweiss]

Assuming that's not just summer, it could be.

[insorrow]

With this place, I figure it's kinda hard to tell. We better not wake up in another jungle or I'm gonna throw something.

[beyondweiss]

You're not the only one who would rather not end up in another jungle.

[insorrow]

Last time I was up a tree. That doesn't happen, I'm already coming out ahead.

[beyondweiss]

And I was a wildcat as I recall.

[insorrow]

... oh yeah, that thing.

[Let us never speak of that again.]

I don't think this place does the same thing twice, so we should at least be safe from that. I hope.

[beyondweiss]

It's appropriate that you added "I hope" to the end of that.

[insorrow]

Yeah, well. Maybe they're running out of ideas and you know that wouldn't have them deciding to quit.
