Sep. 19th, 2024 04:33 amMy wrist feels improved. It woke me up a couple times but I put a pillow under it and then it was okay.
My dreams on the other hand... the 'lost in a convention hotel' dream added a couple of refinements, like 'you get to your room and in the drawer next to the bed there's a stack of photos clearly taken by a hidden camera last time you were here', and then the ever popular classic 'invasion of infectious undead'.
... on balance the hidden camera thing creeps me out more. but it's close.
It wasn't just the zombies problem, it was that people stopped taking it seriously and just let themselves get got, because after all it wasn't like the victims were actually dying. Sure they experienced significant impairments in movement and cognition, but it isn't death, so lets carry on as normal!
... my dreams are not subtle and it is tedious.
Then someone got infected enough times they turned into the cryptkeeper, which actually seemed to bother them, and someone else did the cryptkeeper thing but also melded with their chair, so they were a head on top of a very veiny chair walking around by its legs. Those two actually seemed to feel they had levelled up, but everyone else finally started taking things seriously.
:eyeroll:
Honestly though the presence of Rupert Giles, looking like ASH does nowish, made it a pretty interesting dream. Plot, adventure, trying to deal with the same old hazards with increasing new movement impairments, it's solid story.
Also I have spent too long looking at LARP weapons lately, because when the stabby things came out the dream sort of broke levels of reality to remember which LARP shops to buy that particular dagger at.
... it is a nice dagger though.
I think I'd quite like a Ripper series with an older Giles. It's the thing where it's about ghosts, so it just adds more ghosts, and the looming spectre of mortality no matter how good you are in a fight.
Also undeath when you're young is about fear of getting old, undeath when you're older is about knowledge. Whole different vibe.
