( to everyone )

[cobrakais]

So, that guy the other day —

( sam, the guy was sam. )

He talked about that holiday with the bird and the eating and the sitting around and talking about the good times. Never really got that myself but I made due.

Anyway, after that is the big holiday for the people from my planet. The one where you put up a tree that makes a mess, decorate until you're the most gaudy house on the street and get presents.

But, getting the feeling that not everyone does that here. So, what do you do? If you do the gift giving holiday, what other traditions do you have?

If you don't, what do you do? If anything, I guess? Maybe you don't do squat and that's sad.

Bee tee dubs, if you're looking for a gift to give me, I could use a coat. It's cold in Farm City.

Most of the work involves making them not-weird. As lucid as possible. Otherwise there wouldn't be much use on being there.

Not so sure about liking it, I just haven't stopped to consider where I stand in all of that. So I'd rather not deal with it yet.

You make it sound like you can manipulate someone's dreams. Get into their heads? Doesn't that get exhausting? Depending on the head, I guess.

And hey, no explanation needed. People are effort. I get it.

The general makeup of dreams are somewhat standard, although there's always surprises. And it certainly depends on the head.

I've had people flirt with me, or so they claimed that was flirting. It was a bit awkward, to be honest. You could say I'm a bit sheltered.

[cobrakais]

Bet you'd have an interesting array of heads here? From what I've heard about the makeup of these places. All kinds of interesting people to go swimming around in.

What kind of place did your grow up in to be sheltered?

Well, I don't do anything without permission, and it's always to help.

House on the mountains

[ Technically true. ]

House on the mountains.

Very Edgar Allan Poe of you. Did you live there alone?

House on the mountains.

No, it would've been unbearable. My master/mentor thing person was there with me. Then he died and I left.

[cobrakais]

Master/mentor thing person?

Let's hope you didn't call this thing person that because that's a mouthful.

[ia]

We were close. There isn't a word to describe him.

[ Maker. Creator. But those aren't names she won't share publicly. ]

[cobrakais]

So, you didn't have parents?

You sprung fully formed from an egg or something?
