Yume Niko

[The One Guy]

This is not your room. It looks like your room, but one look outside at that pink watery world reminds you you’re still dreaming. You barely remember having normal dreams, so long ago, before that fateful day, the day you dreamed of here. Always the same perfectly replicated mockery of your room, the same pink land outside your door, the same disgusting worlds beyond. Fascinated at first, you began exploring. You took to shutting yourself in your room; you became obsessed with the dream, recording every detail in an old book you found, but soon the wonder turned to horror, and you had had enough. You shut the door of dream room, and never left again. You tucked away your diary, and left it behind forever. But the dream never stopped. Years have passed since that day, but it still lingers on. You tire of your room, and that door tempts you more with each passing day, but your resolve is strong; you will never pass through.

You are Poniko.
What will you do?




Posting Rules:
1. You can only control Poniko; the only influence you have over anyone or anything else has to be through Poniko.
2. You are limited to Poniko’s knowledge and capabilities.

Notes:
For simplicity’s sake I’m going to assume that anywhere she has visited so far in the story she will remember and know how to get there, however, she will have no knowledge of anywhere in the dream that she has not visited in the story or been told about (unless explicitly stated otherwise).
In any large open area or maze, I will allow a command telling her to randomly explore, and she will find things by doing so.

WE HAVE TO GO DEEPER

Go through the door.

As much as you would love to, this bookshelf is heavy, and you never aquired any sort of hulk effect in your travels.

You consider the possibility that she's also dreaming and this is some sort of shared dream. Unfortunately she's just as likely to be a denizen of the dream ready to bring the madness in. The chance of the former is not worth the possibility of the latter; you have to shoo her out. And that pillow right in front of you just might do the trick. You reach down and...

AAAHHHH!!!! WHAT IS THAT HELLISH BUZZING?!

Oh, right, your alarm clock. You wish you had somewhere close to your bed to put it so you could more easily shut the darn thing off.

Madotsuki. :U

My god this adventure has the possibility to get... uh. Interesting.

*doesn't have anything to suggest right now*

Destroy the impudent mechanism with a toss of some suitable nearby object.

Are you really awake? Or is this one of those false awakenings that your dreams do just to mess with your head? It looks like you are in the same room.

>Are you really awake? Or is this one of those false awakenings that your dreams do just to mess with your head? It looks like you are in the same room.



Of course you're awake. That stupid alarm clock is one of the few things that doesn't get replicated in your dream room.
Speaking of which...

That felt good.


>Throw out your Japanese Alarm Clock and exchange it for your new English Alarm Clock



There, that's much better. You wish you did that yesterday right after you bought the new clock.

Who was that girl in your dream then? Someone you remember, or someone you imagined?

You had better > write it into your journal before you forget it.

>Leave your not-dream room and explore your house.

[Reecer6]

>Change, you've been wearing those same clothes for the past 2 months
>Go downstairs and make yourself breakfast

Also, you don't need any top to figure out whether you're dreaming or not! Just look at your art style!

NOTE: This is the first part of a two part megaupdate. Nothing you suggest will change the second part in any major way. I'm only doing this to assure readers that this adventure is not, in fact, dead. Unfortunately, it's likely the second part will take just as long to make.


>Who was that girl in your dream then? Someone you remember, or someone you imagined? You had better write it into your journal before you forget it.



NO! You stopped doing that long ago.


>Go downstairs and make yourself breakfast



You start off your day normally, and do not dwell on the strange occurrences in your dream. You'll have plenty of time to wonder about these events when you fall asleep again; you won't let the dream poison your real life again.

You get changed and ready for school. Today won't be in any way special, but any time is better than when you're asleep.
