Obviously this is not the only update today :P

> Daydream about mystery romance sci-fi. Resolve to start writing a mystery romance sci-fi webcomic loosely based on your life, when you get time.



Alright. This daydream is loosely based on your friend's story, but you're sure you could make a mystery romance sci-fi webcomic of your own. It might be pretty boring if it was based on your life though. After all, it's not like anything science-fictiony ever happens to you.

>You could pretend that your odd dreams are actually caused by latent psychic powers, that would cover the scifi part.

I know, I know. I promised this would come yesterday, but I got sidetracked doing nothing really important. BAD PSYCHAPPRENTICE LAZIEST AUTHOR et cetera, et cetera.

But I promised myself I wouldn't apologize for erratic updates, so I'm sorry for apologizing. And I'm sorry for that apology. And that one. And that one.

> Deploy a computer and talk to your friends.



Yeah, you want to talk to them pretty badly, but you first need to get your BiestMaster^TM laptop. Of course, this is much easier said than done, because it's in the inaccessible Root Slot.

==>



You'll have to eject it out, along with everything else in your suitcase.

> Gwen: Drop it like it's hot.



Last time you did this, you got concussed, so you're going to have to be very wary this time. You back up as far as you can, but you know it's not going to make a big difference; the Captcha Case can fling things pretty far. When it comes down to it, you really just need to hope for the best.

==>



Wait for it...


> Gwen: Hope for the biest.



Argh! All your shit! At least you caught the laptop. And you weren't crushed by the bed. This was actually probably the best you could hope for.

[Nameless1]

Well that went better than expected,

Arrange your clothes in the proper drawers (wonder what the hell kind of guest room has a bed and NOTHING ELSE)

You think you're lazy? I haven't updated my adventure in two weeks! Trust me, you aren't a lazy author...

>Use the BiestMaster(TM) laptop, try to contact friends, hope for Internet...

[KingTwelveSixteen]

>Just take things out one-by-one until you get to the thing you want next time. I mean, it's not like you have a time limit or monsters attacking or something else that would force you to do things the quick way.

[Naristar]

> Repack all the stuff except the bed set it up so you can play trampoline from one bed to the other

You think you're lazy? I haven't updated my adventure in two weeks! Trust me, you aren't a lazy author...

>Use the BiestMaster(TM) laptop, try to contact friends, hope for Internet...

Don't think it goes unnoticed!!

greenMachine- Thanks for your comment. I guess it's not the end of the world if I miss an update. I just REALLY want to move the plot along. It seems like I have a great new idea for the plot every other day, but it all comes later. ARGH! I want to go FORWARD!!! But the fun is in the journey, so I just enjoy it as it happens, which will also make it a higher-quality story anyway.

Also, I sneakily ret-con'd something from the past(?). Bonus points if you can find it. It doesn't alter the plot in any way, I just like the way it looks now better than it was originally. I promise you'll see what it was later.

> Use the BiestMaster^TM laptop, try to contact friends, hope for Internet...



Ah, BiestMaster... Near-perfect voice recognition, infrared/laser keyboard and trackpad, and it is nearly unbreakable. It has a customizable faceplate, a 12 hour charge, 15 GB of RAM, a 4 TB hard drive, and is as thick as 24 pieces of paper. It boasts powerful speakers, ultra-bright backlight, and PurAl^TM cooling technology. (Starburst background optional.) Your friends often ask how you can possibly have a computer like this one.

You tell them you admire its elegant simplicity.

And obviously you have internet. The Glasswrights are boring, not antiquated.

That would be so embarrassing!

You say your password, *******, and log in. BiestMaster automatically resizes icons based on frequency of use. Icons generally lack names, except for the Initiate menu. You keep your games on the dock at the top.

-genteelAromatherapist [GA] began pestering ostentatiousAuthor [OA]-

GA: will!

OA: Yeah?

GA: i wanted to talk to you.

OA: Well here I am.

GA: i just had a really strange dream.

OA: Did you really?

GA: and you were in it!

OA: Wait, I was in your dream?

GA: yeah!!

GA: it's weird--usually, when i dream, i can sort of tell what everything looks like, but not really.

GA: it's like i'm not really seeing it, so much as sensing it.

OA: Interesting...

GA: and it's always the same scene--a blurry blue room.

GA: but this time was different.

GA: when i fell asleep, it was like i was being pulled into slumber.

GA: ironically, it was almost like the way it feels when you're being woken up from a dream.

GA: and then i was back in my dream room.

GA: but i heard my name being called by someone in my window.

GA: it was you, will.

OA: Me???

GA: at the sound of your voice, i felt a surge of something, like i was being recharged.

GA: and suddenly, everything came into focus.

GA: it was like i was waking up.

OA: Wait, I woke you up?

GA: in my dream, yeah.

GA: but then you flew away before i could talk to you.

GA: and then something even stranger happened.

GA: i saw a dragon!

OA: What!?

GA: she told me to fly.

GA: well, not really "told."

GA: it was like a whisper on the periphery of my consciousness.

GA: she said "fly, gwen, flyyyyy."

GA: and then she too flew away.

GA: but then i learned to fly in my room.

GA: then i woke up.

OA: Wait, back up a bit.

OA: I woke you up?

[greenMachine]

>Conversation: *beeeeep, beeeeep, beeeep, beeeep*

(in other words, back up a bit)

(and before anyone says anything, no that's not swearing...)

GA: yes, will.

GA: you woke me up.

GA: why is that such a big deal for you?

GA: are you suggesting there are psychological substrata to this dream?

OA: Not at all.

OA: I'm merely asking if you are certain it was me.

GA: yeah, pretty reasonably certain.

GA: unless your face has changed dramatically since the most recent time i saw it.

OA: It hasn't... but...

OA: I just don't see how that could have been me in your dream.

GA: why not?

OA: Because you weren't in mine.

GA: so?

GA: i've heard of cohabited dreams between identical twins, but you and i have no relation whatsoever.

GA: why would your presence in my dream require mine in yours?

OA: *Sigh*

OA: I was trying to avoid telling you this, but I guess if you're awake, it shouldn't be too bad.

GA: telling me what?

OA: Gwen, you and I...

OA: We're not like normal people.

GA: what do you mean?

OA: We dream differently than they do.

OA: For ordinary folks, a dream is a mere construct of the brain.

OA: The occipital lobe, where vision is interpreted, starts firing in the middle of your sleep cycle.

OA: Why does this happen? No one really knows.

OA: Perhaps its the brain's way of dealing with the stress of the day, or an extra level of problem-solving.

OA: Maybe it's just the price of consciousness.

OA: Whatever the reason may be, you and I have a different purpose for our dreams.
