01<@Ardweden> [Day: Saturday, August 28. Time: 12:38 p.m.] 01<@Ardweden> [Javy wakes up, now Javy again, in his own bedroom. There's plenty of light coming in though his windows, and the dreamcatcher he put under his pillow is still there. He's probably feeling pretty agitated, though, given what he just experienced.] 01<@Ardweden> [Minisession Start!] 06* Javy sits up quickly, not even feeling groggy now, and looks towards the picture of Jesus on his wall, mouthing a silent prayer before getting up and rummaging in his bag to find his phone. 01<@Ardweden> [The phone is in his bag, right where he left it. Battery's about 3/4 charged since he didn't charge it overnight.] 06* Javy fumbles it out of the bag, sits on the edge of the bed, and presses 6 on his speed dial to call Nate. 01<@Ardweden> [On the fifth ring, right before Javy'd be sent off to voicemail, someone picks up. "Hello?" It's Nate's voice; he sounds a little out of it.] 06* Javy grips the edge of the bed with his free hand. "Nate? Hey, Nate, it's Javy." 01<@Ardweden> ["Javy!" And now Nate sounds much more awake. "Hi! Man. I just had the worst nightmare... you were there."] 06* Javy closes his eyes. "Yeah? Uh, and it was, um, a nightmare?" 01<@Ardweden> ["Oh, yeah. I mean, it started pretty good... at least, I think it did... I had superpowers or something and was doing an art showing - I mean, how cool is that? - but then it degenerated into this thing where these guys were throwing my art and my- my family into a bonfire. And my friends, too. I woke up when I got thrown in."] 06* Javy looks towards his pillow. "Wow. That sounds intense. Like, something really epic." 01<@Ardweden> ["Yeah... these mythological figures showed up at some point, too. A little imp or gremlin, a dragon, and one that looked like Kali, or maybe one of the other Hindu goddesses. Some others, too. It was pretty crazy." Pause. "I should write this stuff down before I forget it."] 06* Javy sounds slightly cross. "Yeah, you should get it down. It could make for a good story." 01<@Ardweden> ["Oh, yeah." Another pause, and Nate asks, now less crazy excited, "Is something wrong? I'm sorry if you didn't want to hear about it, but it felt *so real*."] Oh. Nah, it's okay. It's a cool story. So I got roasted, then? 01<@Ardweden> ["Ugh, yeah. It was terrible. That's- I mean, I'm glad you called. Saves me the awkwardness of calling you to make sure you're okay."] 06* Javy tries to sound surprised. "Wow. It was that real?" 01<@Ardweden> ["Yeah... the worst nightmares are, y'know? It makes them a lot easier to remember than dreams."] 06* Javy has some more real feeling in his response now. "Yeah. I remember dreams like that real well." 01<@Ardweden> ["Yeah... hey, maybe I should start a dream journal. Not for psychoanalyzing, but that's supposed to help creativity, sometimes. Worked for Coleridge." Pause, then, "So, what'd you mean to call about?"] "Oh!" 06* Javy pauses. "I just wanted to check in on you, too. You looked terrible yesterday. I figured it was late enough to call." 01<@Ardweden> [He laughs. "Good timing. Barely late enough. Man, I have to get my sleep schedule back on track."] Yeah. However cool your ideas are, you can't wreck yourself. 01<@Ardweden> ["Right. Totally going to bed on time tonight AND waking up on time tomorrow. More or less, anyway. It's a Sunday."] 06* Javy lets out a small laugh. "And your family's not like mine. Sundays are an early day here, too." 01<@Ardweden> [He laughs. "Yeah, I know. Hey, do you want to hang out later today?"] Sure. I don't have any plans. What do you want to do? 01<@Ardweden> [Nate ehs. "I dunno. Maybe hang out at the Square some and then figure out what we want to do. I just want to get out of the house."] 06* Javy sounds thoughtful. "Okay. At 2?" 01<@Ardweden> ["Sure, sounds good. Meet by your dad's shop?"] Okay. See you soon, Nate. 01<@Ardweden> ["Yeah, see you." And Nate hangs up!] 06* Javy hangs up, too, and then sits looking at the wall for a minute, before murmuring a prayer of thanks and getting up to face the day! 01<@Ardweden> [Mini End!]
