Gyyyaaaaaah nightmare last night. Nothing, like, graphic, just this pervasive sense of creepy and helplessness. You might not want to read this if you have a thing about mirror-related horror.

I DREAMED I WORKED AT MCDONALD'S.
we’re legends
Just kidding.
we’re legends
mean, not really, that is actually how the "storyline" started, but the creepiness had nothing to do with McD's.

I was, I think, staying with the manage bc I'd had to move or some shit, the dream was about as solid on logistics as you'd expect, and there was something wrong in her apartment.

Her pet birds - which, in retrospect, I do not think were pets, and I'm not actually sure they were birds - acted very strange. idk how, but dream-me knew that shit was all wrong.

And any time I looked in the mirror, just as I'd look away, my reflection would change.
we’re legends
I tested that too by making faces and then looking away, and whatever face I'd made would change into a smile. So I knew I was not making it up.

And it wasn't just a problem with the apartment, like a straightforward haunting or something. It was something that infected people who'd gotten exposed to it and there was fuckall I could do.

I woke up before it could all come to a head, thankfully, and I was so deeply grateful to discover it had just been a dream.

And then I thought, "I bet this is the only time I will ever be grateful to wake up and find myself in a homeless shelter," bc my sarcasm reflex is the first thing that kicks in in the morning.
we’re legends
I remember how to sarcasm before I even remember that walking is a thing.
we’re legends
SO YEAH THAT WAS ALL FUN.

If there is a mirror thing in our Silent Hill thread at any point, you will know where it came from.
cacopheny
I will look forward to seeing if you use it :B

SH3 does this amazing mirror trick where Heather's/the room's reflection become increasingly corrupted the longer you stay in that particular room. The corruption spreads from the mirror to the actual room,

and there's a not-huge window of time in which you can leave. I f you don't, you're eventually trapped and you die. It's pretty cool.
cacopheny
huh, weird! and a neat idea
we’re legends
It's tricky too, bc for like a minute or so after you enter the room, you can't get out, so it's easy to miss that time when you can bc you could just figure you're stuck, period.

It might be another day or two before I can tag the SH thread, tho; I don't think I'm gonna get the brain for the full tag before I have to leave today, and I'm working this weekend.
cacopheny
no worries at all ^^ I tend to be braindead on weekends, anyhow, with regards to tags
we’re legends
Weekends are tricky. Time off = brain thinks it gets to check out, too.
cacopheny
pretty much 
there's no routine, so I can't go "okay, this right here is tagging time"
