We were playing a new Diablo expansion titled: “7 Sins: 3 Justices”. I picked up an “Umbrella of Avarice” near the stone shrine under the canvas tent. “I see what’s going on” I say to myself. I walked out into the open and saw that it was raining. I noticed that I was now holding two umbrellas in the rain.

I glided down onto the hillside and entered what seemed to be the entrance of a tunnel. It began with a vertical passage into the darkness below before the horizontal portion. I could see the light just ahead. I walked a few meters forward before I realized that a boar was also on the other side. I frantically ran in the opposite direction but found myself unable to climb upwards.

They were playing what seemed to be a card game on the counter with CDs. The game had card-stealing mechanics where a player was able to draw cards from the other person’s deck. The two people playing seemed bored while an observer started revealing information about what each person was holding in their hands. I told them to cut it out but they insisted that they had no obligation to stop as the rules didn’t explicitly prohibit them from doing so.

We were checking out the new “winged-bike” design that was on display in the workshop. The bike featured dark blue canvas wings that crossed over the head and attached to the seat. It was also deceptively light.

My flight was due to depart later in the afternoon and I was in a hurry to pack up my suitcase. However, not only were my socks still in the washing machine, I had never even fully unpacked my luggage since I arrived home. I obtained a new pair of glasses which had bendy arms that extended all the way around the head to the opposite ears. “You already have so many”, someone commented when in fact none of the other two pairs of glasses that were scattered about my room actually belonged to me.

As we stood at the checkout counter, we were unable to figure out who was paying for what through a long series of misunderstandings. I thought I had heard that he would be paying for everything, but ended up giving the cashier less than half of the fare. I asked him who was paying and he said that we both were, despite the fact that he was paying much less than his fair share.

The display fridge was lined up with half-missing containers of Caesar salad. I wandered around the aisles of the store, thinking that I should buy something before I got onto my flight. I settled for a Chinese smartphone that was up for 100 bucks. It had a bunch of pirated mobile games on it as well as cheats for said games installed. Someone told me that typing the words “yuui amber” in the keypad was the cheat code for everything. I keyed it in out of curiosity and it simultaneously unlocked the phone and opened up a game.

We were playing a PvE cooperative siege defense game that had some ridiculously long respawn time. All of us were waiting for the timer to count down as we watched the enemies break the gates of the mansion. “So much for the new aggressive AI” someone remarked.

I was back home for the weekend but for some reason I had brought an entire suitcase of clothes back with me. I rummaged through the closets in my old room to find pieces of clothing that I have never noticed before, like a pair of transparent pants. “Why would you ever buy these?” I asked myself. When I stood up, I realized that I was wearing shoes of mismatching heights.

I walked towards the ruins in the middle of the soccer field on a rainy day. Each building located at the center of each field had a guestbook where you could sign in. I noticed that there was also a knob to turn on the sprinklers which rose up to waist-height from the ground. I casually turned the knob, not expecting the water to spray out so quickly. I ran towards the street over the slight incline on the opposite side of the field. It was already too late when I realized I was running in mud and had gotten dirt all over my pants and shoes.
