The dream journal of a quirky mind

And I was right. The best workers there were being taken aside and turned into vampires as a promotion. I saved a cat girl and together we set up bombs to blow the roof off after the workers left at sunrise. All the vampires trapped inside looked up at the sun and exploded like fireworks.

Only Guzma didn’t show up for the finals for a reason I forgot. I was then hired as a private detective to find him. I caught up to him and he was lounging around on somebody’s stoop. He said he was needed back home and was no longer allowed to stay any longer. Before I could ask why he just walk into an alley, melted into water and evaporated.

I slowly picked up on a rising sound around a bend ahead of us like a constant whooshing sound. I put two and two together and dreaded what we were floating toward. I urged her we needed to turn back but my pleas were falling on deaf ears. It’s like she was in a trance and couldn’t hear anything else. I grab her life jacket and swim back upstream as hard as I could. I call out for Garret or anyone to help us out of the river, and I could feel us still drifting toward a large waterfall.

I defeated him by making him retreat for another day but he warned others will show up to challenge me also. More show up around the countryside looking for me, like a tornado god, a witch with space-warping powers, and a dragon with a habit of lighting himself on fire. There was no way I could beat all of them alone so I ran, thinking they can just have the castle. But no, they only way to gain the rights to the castle was to beat me in battle so they continued to track me down even as I reached the most remote place away from anyone. Some Medieval knights showed up to fight alongside me just so the castle wouldn’t belong to monsters. We managed to restrain the dragon and ready to fight the witch and tornado, but that’s when I just had to be awoken by a text message in the early morning..

So I get there and get out to find her at the food court, for some reason, and we get back to find my car had been stolen. So now we got to hike back to my house, which the path cuts through a busy shopping plaza, across a main road, over railroad tracks, and a house whose aggressive dog is running loose. It took us even longer than usual because my cousin insisted we look at a few things in the shops and order a pizza for lunch. Were were nearly home when that dog jumped at us and ate our pizza. I was mad enough to wake up to complain about lost pizza.

I get there and I see one building was holding interviews for anyone wanting to be part of a spy organization to infiltrate the human world. I go in and see some other toons like Scooby and Scrappy Doo, Invader Zim, and Helga Pataki.There were others I didn’t recognize from anywhere, probably not all toons have that celebrity status where they are from a fandom. Scooby, Zim, and I make it onto the team and start our training. I wish I could have gotten more but I woke up around there.

It was just me at that hotel, no other guests seemed to be around not even at the pool they had which was a wavepool. The whole place felt creepy after a while so I decided to leave after spending a few minutes in the pool. I walk back to my room and there is this large, dark, fuzzy beetle thing hovering around me and kept getting too close to my face. I had to shove it away every few seconds. I try to ignore it but as I head into my bathroom it tried to enter my ear. It freaked me out and I pull it out as carefully as I could. It hisses at me and I smash it on the ground. I was never going back there.

The date had slipped my mind. I realize I had been too hasty but it was too late to put out the fire. It spread across the living room and was consuming the entire house. I had to evacuate everyone. Beppi and Werner stepped through and tried to extinguish the flames but their efforts did little. We could only watch my house burn to the ground before the firetruck could arrive. A portal had opened up as the flames died but by then I couldn’t just leave my friends to clean up the disaster I caused, and had to live with Hilda for a while.

I make a stop a couple of hours later and we’re in a big city that reminded me of downtown Manhattan. I stop at a gas station for more gas and food for the kids when this giant goanna monster start attacking the city. It starts singing a song about how it’s having a great day and how many ways it can prepare and eat the fleeing people. I’m just standing in awe of this scaly creature when I finally come back to my senses and hurry to get the kids away from here. There’s news helicopters and jet fighters coming from everywhere to kill the monster. There were a small group of protesters who wanted to protect and preserve such a rare beast, up until they were chomped down on and eaten alive.

I hid behind a curtain as it passed me and for a brief moment I was relieved. Until the chihuahua found me again and started barking. The tank’s cannon whirled around and pointed right at me so I ran for my life. I ended up in a section filled with toys and figures of popular cartoon characters and felt euphoric about the whole thing. I wanted to buy some but couldn’t decide which ones. So I just decided to buy the entire toy section.

As I was passing by the arcade, I notice a teen inside still playing games. I go to inform him that the mall is closing and he needs to leave. Then I notice the game he was playing was Cuphead, and he was fighting against Beppi the Clown. The kid was making several derogatory insults about Beppi as he tried to beat him and it really made me uncomfortable. Finally the kid leaves after losing, but not before flipping me off and throwing racist names at me in his anger. I look back at the game over screen and I see Beppi but the quote he usually says had been replaced by something new. I don’t remember the exact quote but he seemed relieved and joyful about beating a bigoted punk like that kid. I give him a thumbs up just as the arcade shut down for the night.

It was starting to get dark and I heard a train coming up behind me. I would have gotten off the tracks but my pants leg had got caught on the railing and was unable to get out of the way. At least the death was instantaneous, but I didn’t know that I died so I kept wandering the wilderness and came upon a cottage in the woods. I called out for anyone to help me but no one answered. I went inside anyway and the place was abandoned, mostly. There was a fresh glass of iced tea on the dusty coffee table. I called out again. Someone entered the room but didn’t notice me at all. I tried getting their attention but to no avail. I glanced in a nearby mirror and I wasn’t even in it.

So apparently I had a dog with me instead of my cat Cookie, which ran off while I was walking him so now I’m asking around if anyone had seen a runaway beagle. I find him being kept in someone else’s house so I decide to break in and rescue him. What I didn’t know was that the person keeping him hostage knew I would come for him and set up a trap so I would be exposed to a poison gas when I tried to leave with my dog. The gas wasn’t an ordinary poison though, it was the kind of magic gas that would turn me into a dog as well.

I follow the group back to their hideout where they plan to steal another priceless artifact from the local museum. While most go out and steal the artifact, I was left in a room with a single guard. I offer to play charades with him to pass the time and he agrees. We play a few rounds to lower his guard, and that’s when I attacked him, slamming his head against the ground and escaped while he was unconscious. I called the cops on my phone and I ran away to a Starbucks to hide out for a while. I see the blonde girl again as a barista and I tell her we need to go into hiding as we’re both in danger now. The last I heard of the group was on the news as they all were being driven away to prison.
