Funny Dream
I had the funniest/weird dream the other night.
I dreamt that I was a character in a MMORPG (actually it was a MUD... Kinda dates me doesn't it?), set in an industrialized, futuristic atmosphere much like the one in Final Fantasy VIII. It all seemed very real. I was hanging out with a bunch of other characters in a city. We walked by these sneering ruffians who were taunting us, but we couldn't take them on because were were all Level 1!
We decided we had to level up a little bit. This other character (a thief) suggested we go kill ducks in the park to gain experience points. (Might seem cruel but usually in these games Level 1 characters are not much more powerful than hamsters!)
So our merry band of adventurers went into the city park where we prepared to do battle with a sord of ducks.
As the mage started chanting her spells and the thief got into a very cool pose with his dual daggers, I gave my best scowl and placed my hand on the pommel of my huge sword, ready to draw.
Then the ducks attacked! Magic missiles were flying and the thief disappeared into the night only to stab a duck in the back. I selected my target duck and drew my sword.
Or rather, tried to draw my sword. Because when it was only one inch out of the scabbard, it got stuck and would not budge.
Then huge floating letters appeared before me, and to my absolute horror, they said:
"Good characters cannot draw weapons in the park."
The dream ended there. Presumably I was slaughtered by the ducks. :)
