Hello again everyone.

I had another interesting dream this morning. The dream was IC, as Julie, but it did have a little bit of an OOC element to it, and I know exactly why I dreamed it, but let me speak OOC for a minute. As you can see, if you look at Jacqueline's WoEiCS? Watch party post, I was up late last night. That was OK; it is not necessarily unusual for me to do that, and I really hadn't had a chance to have very much computer time yesterday.

So, I was trying to catch up with some things on Facebook, since I had not been on much lately. And that explains the first part of the dream, that was kinda OOC. In the dream my friends were kinda upset because I hadn't been talking to them quite as much (IRL, I know this would never happen) and it led to us discussing some unrelated and controversial topic of some kind (I don't remember what, now) which again I would never do, because I go to great lengths to avoid such topics on-line, especially when I know people will disagree with me. At any rate, whatever it was, it was OK we resolved it.

So, that led to the part that was IC, that had Chase trying to teach Julie some kind of card game. I don't remember what it was, if it was poker or something else; but things that mathematical have always been challenging for me, IRL, I have a learning disability when it comes to math, and I remember how patient he was, and I think I was just starting to really "get it" whatever the game was, when these voices came over some kinda radio, interrupting us; and I think it was my friends from the earlier part of the dream, which makes no sense, because those friends are not here (on TECS) at all. And what they said was not really important, it was like they were teasing me a little (though not in a mean way) and Chase was going to tell them to be quiet.

And that was when I woke up, to my mom and her boyfriend coming in house (I do intend to mention them both in a story at some point, but until I come up with a name for him, I won't mention their names here) after staying up late last night, taking care of our 19 yr. old Paint gelding, who is very sick with colic. He improved a tiny bit in the overnight hours til about 7:30; resting comfortably, in a stall, and not needing any meds til about 9:30 a.m. But now he has stopped drinking, and the decision has been made to have the vet come back out, and put him down. This horse is very sweet, with a very mischievous personality. (He likes to let other horses out of their stalls.) He never lays down like this, and no doubt, the other horses know that something is wrong.

Anyway, that is the dream I had this morning, and that also explains what I won't be on too much for the rest of the day, or for the next few days, either. :(

I like this, Chase was going to tell people to be quiet for you. :D But IRL Julie please take care of yourself. I'm sorry about your horse. I will be sending hugs to both you and your mother. I know how much you loved that horse. <3

Haven't yet had a dream about Victorique. Had a dream about Eugene ranting? Maybe I was Victorique in the dream.
Okay wait no I have.
We were in the laboratories during a particularly important investigation over something. A few of us ACME agents ( I could remember walking with at least two others. Chase was one. Perhaps this was the dream in which Eugene was ranting? Wild week.) were walking towards a chemical analysis lab. Suddenly, the air got thick and bitter, our heads swimming in the smog. We looked inside: our agents lay stone cold on the ground, shattered glass that was knocked to the ground in their fall surrounding them, their labcoats splayed like wings. The smog felt thicker as we went on. I almost fell over. We needed to get them out or they might just die. I was panicking. I was able to get two people out of the many. Chase dragged me back as I passed out. I could see another agent dragging the others out. The occurrence of the noxious gas was most likely due to something found in the field having reacted when tested. Or V.I.L.E. sabotage.

(Had a dream sometime late this morning, just before I woke up. )

It was totally IC, as Julie. She was working undercover at some hotel, where there had been some kind of complaints of people being filmed without their knowledge or something like that. So Julie was in this room, looking for evidence of a camera, and found a flashing red light, in a place where it shouldn't be; and in the process, she saw her reflection in the mirror.

She was dressed as maid, and had blonde hair. She didn't like the shade of blonde, with the color of her skin.

And that was when I woke up.

(I can understand the "undercover" part of the dream; the upcoming RP in Greece will have ACME agents undercover. And, I have heard stories like that in the news in our area; but that was several months ago. And I fell asleep last night, watching "Secretariat" and taking some cough medicine. I assume that "Julie" was wearing a wig; but I don't remember how the dream began. (I don't know if anyone who has been here a while has noticed that I made some subtle changes to this avatar, to make "Julie" look more me.) And several years ago, IRL, one of my aunts suggested that I try being blonde, and I disagreed. The shade of blonde that I would have to have, to look good with my coloring, and what I would have to do, to make my hair that color, and keep it that way, would not be worth it. I don't believe in the idea of extreme "suffering" for beauty, especially for someone else's idea of "beauty."

And, I have to say, I've had more dreams about "Julie" since this thread was put up, than I have in all the years that I've been here. ;)

(OOC) I had one as of late myself dressed as a Kitsnune, Carmen was an eastern dragon and Sahara was a takooni. Joe was there in charge of backdrops, we were acting out some folk tales for little children it was a lot of fun. Also as well on a whim at the time, I somehow got talked into it.

In charater and ooc at the same time

I have a lot of violent nightmares of my past but with the worse possiable endings

Good dreams are rare for me and I spend most of my days daydreaming away the scary memories

I mentioned this one in chat, but it's a good candidate for this thread as well. Thanks to @Jacqueline Hyde for dropping a link to her tumblr which shook the memory of this particular dream loose.

I had a dream where our version of Ivy somehow crossed paths with the netflix version of Tigress. Ivy was annoyed, to put it lightly, at how that particular alias of hers had been hijacked. Unfortunately, I woke up before real fallout ensued.

((I took melatonin last night for the first time in a looooooong time, so I had some wild dreams, which I always do when starting melatonin again. The two I remember both had to do with people on here.

In one, @Claire Yeon's writer did an op/ed-type piece for NBC Nightly News, under her character's name, and I cackled when she signed off at the end. In the other, I was at Borders (RIP) looking at CDs, and saw one by someone with the same first name as @Neb's writer, next to one by an actual singer I'm a fan of whose name is one letter off.))

Did I sign off with "This is Claire Yeon, reminding you to keep calm and carry on."? ))
No, my brain's not that creative. It was just like "For NBC News, I'm Claire Yeon." Also, in my dream you were a white lady with shoulder-length light brown hair with big curls. Sort of like Jodi Benson.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
