HF 035 Hank's Dream

[11/25/16, 8:24:44 PM] Josh: You go to sleep?

[11/25/16, 8:25:17 PM] Hank: Still here.

[11/25/16, 8:25:27 PM] Josh: No, I mean does Hank go to sleep?

[11/25/16, 8:26:15 PM] Hank: After polishing armor yes.

[11/25/16, 8:26:29 PM] Josh: Ok, you go to sleep...and you find yourself in a temple.

[11/25/16, 8:27:02 PM] Hank: Hello?

[11/25/16, 8:27:28 PM] Josh: Your voice echoes off of the walls.  "Hello hello hel..."

[11/25/16, 8:28:35 PM] Hank: (( do I see anything in the temple?))

[11/25/16, 8:29:02 PM] Josh: Not much.  It's empty and clean, but you see the Symbol of Titania held over it.

[11/25/16, 8:29:13 PM] Josh: And you see a figure.  A tall elven man with long black hair.

[11/25/16, 8:30:09 PM] Hank: Hank will approach him.

[11/25/16, 8:30:59 PM] Josh: The figure turns and...it's Daylor.  A very young Daylor.

[11/25/16, 8:31:32 PM] Josh: Daylor: "Sorry, we're not really open yet.  I'm still unpacking."

[11/25/16, 8:32:43 PM] Josh: Daylor: "...um...can I help you?"

[11/25/16, 8:36:55 PM] Hank: Yes I am curious as to why you would build a temple to titania?

[11/25/16, 8:38:15 PM] Josh: Daylor beams around his temple.  "Cause...well...cause I guess I get her."

[11/25/16, 8:38:48 PM] Josh: Daylor: "She doesn't want worshippers or followers, just people to understand her teachings.  To guard those who can't guard themselves."

[11/25/16, 8:41:46 PM] Hank: I have been trying to do that but how do you know if your version of protection is right? Because I feel like I end up making more mistakes than right choices.

[11/25/16, 8:42:35 PM] Josh: Daylor: "Well, that's always the problem, isn't it?  You know, there is a way to widen your scope.  Keep everyone protected and know the consequences."

[11/25/16, 8:43:23 PM] Hank: And what is that method?

[11/25/16, 8:44:20 PM] Josh: Daylor pulls out a giant sword and raises it above his head.  "Die and become Death.  Hold still, please."

[11/25/16, 8:45:26 PM] Hank: Hank will scramble away.

[11/25/16, 8:45:44 PM] Hank: So who exactly are you then?

[11/25/16, 8:45:55 PM] Josh: Daylor swings and misses you.

[11/25/16, 8:46:26 PM] Josh: Daylor: "Oh, isn't it obvious?  I'm a figment of your imagination.  My name's Barry, by the way."

[11/25/16, 8:46:52 PM] Josh: Barry: "If it helps, I don't want to do this, not my call.  Let me do my job and this will be over quick."

[11/25/16, 8:47:24 PM] Hank: Who gave you the job?

[11/25/16, 8:48:08 PM] Josh: Barry: "...um...I don't think I'm supposed to tell you that."

[11/25/16, 8:49:14 PM] Hank: Does it matter if you are going to kill me?

[11/25/16, 8:51:44 PM] Hank: And if you don't want to kill me then don't and get out of my head. Please.

[11/25/16, 8:52:48 PM] Josh: A shrill, high, scratchy voice comes in.  "Alright, alright!  Enough.  McGurk, go home, I got this."

[11/25/16, 8:54:01 PM] Josh: A tiny, bald, beady-eyed man comes sauntering into the room.  He is wearing an ugly bright red coat, green waist-coat, stripes yellow and black pants and the ugliest purple bowler hat you've ever seen.

[11/25/16, 8:54:26 PM] Hank: And who are you supposed to be?

[11/25/16, 8:55:58 PM] Josh: The man snaps his fingers and the Daylor vanishes.  "Well, let's see, you fell asleep and came here, and you are in a place where I can summon and un-summon figments with a snap of my fingers.  Clearly, I'm the Springwood Bunny, WHO DO YOU THINK I AM, NUMB-SKULL!"

[11/25/16, 8:57:31 PM] Hank: Let's assume I am an idiot, similar to whoever dressed you and move on to where you tell me who you are?

[11/25/16, 8:58:33 PM] Josh: He sighs.  "Ok, let's make it very clear then.  This is the land of DREAMS.  I control DREAMS.  I have a sister you've met who's name also starts with a "D"...LIKE MINE...So, this makes me..."

[11/25/16, 8:59:56 PM] Hank: Dream.  And why are you talking to me?

[11/25/16, 9:00:50 PM] Josh: Dream: "Because my sibling needs a new body quick and you're the first warm one I've caught.  So let me kill you so you can go be her apprentice and BOOM, we sort this all out."

[11/25/16, 9:02:40 PM] Hank: Death seemed to be fine with its current body just an hour or so ago.

[11/25/16, 9:03:17 PM] Hank: I avoided death at least 3 times today why should I just let you kill me?

[11/25/16, 9:05:58 PM] Josh: Dream: "...ok then, what do you want?  Gold.  Power.  Women.  ...Men?"

[11/25/16, 9:07:23 PM] Hank: None of those help  if I am dead.

[11/25/16, 9:10:27 PM] Hank: Can you guarentee protection for friends and family if I take your bizarre offer at face value?

[11/25/16, 9:10:27 PM] Josh: Dream: "...you know, you are being very difficult about this."

[11/25/16, 9:10:54 PM] Hank: It's my life we are talking about here. I have the right.

[11/25/16, 9:12:46 PM] Josh: Dream: "Look, this is a serious matter here.  It's not like I just kill for fun...except when I do...sometimes."

[11/25/16, 9:14:47 PM] Hank: Then tell me honestly are people at risk if I don't agree to your plan?

[11/25/16, 9:15:07 PM] Josh: Dream: "She is."

[11/25/16, 9:15:26 PM] Hank: What do you mean by that?

[11/25/16, 9:16:19 PM] Josh: Dream sighs.  "It would take way too long to fully explain, but, basically, if this body wears out before Death finds a new one...POOF!"

[11/25/16, 9:16:45 PM] Hank: Death ceases to exist?!?

[11/25/16, 9:18:18 PM] Josh: Dream: "Yes...no...kind of...Death the person ceases to exist.  It becomes...nothing."

[11/25/16, 9:18:36 PM] Josh: Dream: "Like Justice and Mercy and Desire before her."

[11/25/16, 9:18:46 PM] Josh: Dream: "And a whole lot more."

[11/25/16, 9:18:57 PM] Hank: ((Insight check))

[11/25/16, 9:19:04 PM] Josh: Roll it.

[11/25/16, 9:19:34 PM] Hank: ((Dammit 10))

[11/25/16, 9:21:06 PM] Hank: Fine then.

[11/25/16, 9:21:13 PM] Josh: He seems honest.

[11/25/16, 9:21:32 PM] Josh: Before you can agree, the floor cracks.

[11/25/16, 9:22:36 PM] Josh: Dream: "No, no, no, not yet.  You were gonna--"

[11/25/16, 9:22:39 PM] Josh: You wake up.
