Hey, so, this might seem weird but...

The last time I had weird dreams that had real-life consequences and saw things that were kind of there but not really, I had all of my powers and strength taken from me. It was not fun. I seem to be okay this time around, but, uh...

Maybe someone else isn't?

Consider this a way to check in! Is everyone doing okay?

Comments

[keythatconnects]

Yeah no thanks.

But what about you? Are you okay?

[postocular]

I'm alright. I've been through worse, so there's that.

[keythatconnects]

That's not better, Carl. [He's saying it in a teasing kind of way, though.]

When we get out of here, we should really hang out. Do something fun. We both earned it.

[postocular]

That sounds like fun. I'd like that a lot. Have something special in mind?

[keythatconnects]

Well, we'll have to find out what the next planet is... See what they offer. But also! We could just have a party? Something with sweets and funny hats?

[postocular]

We could, I guess. Let's see what the planet has, first.

[keythatconnects]

Hopefully, it's something cool.

[postocular]

Yeah, here's hoping. Are you getting stir-crazy, too?

[keythatconnects]

Oh yeah, so much. I do not like feeling trapped.

[postocular]

What about we go for a swim? I know it's not a lot, but it's at least something until we can go outside?

[keythatconnects]

Yeah! That would help a lot, I think! Being able to move my body around always helps. And swimming is fun!

[postocular]

For the most part, yeah. Wish the water was a little colder, though.

[keythatconnects]

I grew up on an island. For me it's weird when water isn't salty.

[postocular]

Yeah? What's that like? I went to the beach a few times growing up, but I'm sure it's not the same.

[keythatconnects]

Warm. Sandy.

Mostly, it's feeling trapped in a tiny place even when you know there are so many worlds to explore and people to meet. My friend Riku is the one who first said we should try to travel to other worlds and ever since he did, I knew the islands wouldn't be enough for either of us.

[postocular]

That's cool that traveling to different worlds is possible where you're from. Tell me a little more about where you're from? I realize I don't know much about you.

[keythatconnects]

Well, it's called the Destiny Islands. Everyone knows everyone else. There's a small collection of islands but most everyone lives on the big one. There's not a lot to do. It's kind of like a normal, quiet little town, but surrounded by tropical beaches.

[postocular]

It sounds nice, though. I'm from a small town, too, but nowhere near an ocean. It was a small town on the outside of a big city.

[keythatconnects]

Yeah? I haven't really been to a lot of big cities. Where you able to see the city much?
