Where do you plug in a flying toaster? [DREAM...?]

[doragonmeido]

[... except... this doesn't look like a normal dream.]

[This is a screensaver.]

[It is rendered completely in eight-bit graphics. On the screen, there is an electric sheep grazing in a grassy field. An 8-bit Tama is near the edge of the field

[Oooh! Is that a game in his guide? Must try it out! Hmmm, but what to ask? Let's make a simple taste.]

>wave_

[doragonmeido]

[The sheep stops eating, sits up, and starts waving towards the screen. Looks like you are controlling the sheep!]

[singerinpink]

[Oh, I have the ship, not the girl. Let's write a more appropiate command then.]

>bleat_

[doragonmeido]

[The sheep bleats, complete with a chiptune approximation of a "baa-aa-aah!"]

[vorig]

[Whoa! It's as if someone heard his inner complaints of being bored. He doesn't really get it at first, but just in case....]

>beer_

[doragonmeido]

[8-bit Tama produces a pixelated tray with a pixelated stein of beer.]

[She walks into the field, sets it down beside the sheep, and then returns to the edge of the screen.]

[The sheep stares at the beer, as if it doesn't understand what to do with it.]

[vorig]

[He widens his eyes a little. That's so cool! He can already see himself playing this thing for hours. Unless there is any way to lose, then he will just ragequit it.]

>drink beer_

[doragonmeido]

[The sheep picks up the beer stein in its stubby arms and proceeds to chug it.]

[And chug it. And chug it.]

[When it is finished, it has red cheeks and little bubbles rising over its head. Good job, you made the sheep drunk!]

[flyintotheworld]

[Fun!]

>stick it in_

[Dating sims have taught him this is always an option.]

[doragonmeido]

[The sheep looks alarmed! It doesn't want to do that!]

[purplebiker]

[[Richezza stares. There's something... familiar about this style of art. Oh well.]]

>become a racing star_

[doragonmeido]

[The background changes. Suddenly, the sheep is not at a field. It is at a racetrack, much like one that would be used for horses or greyhounds.]

[Appropriate music starts to play as other 8-bit animals line up. A gunshot is heard, and they're off!]

[However, it is a level 1 electric sheep with no stats to speak of.]

[It comes in last.]

[purplebiker]

>angst over your loss_

[doragonmeido]

[The sheep dyes its wool black and changes the music again.]

> Inspect the sheep_

[doragonmeido]

[Tama walks over to the sheep. There is a simple animation of her inspect it, as if looking through its wool for bugs.]
