humans are space orks: dreams
I actually dont have anything to say right now but it feels weird not to start one of my posts with some thought prologue
Human: (Half asleep, barely keeping their eyes open, accidentally presses the wrong Red Button)
Alien: (Notices that their favorite human is about to step into the ship's waste chute just in time to wrap their tail around the human's waist)
Alien: "What the hell!?" (Exclaimed while steadying them with oddly gentle hands)
Human: "Wha? Why'd you grab me..? I need to slide into the... the, um... I forgot what I came here for."
Alien: "What is ๐ธ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ with you!?" (Keeps a hand on them while they close the trash chute) "You were about to get yourself killed!"
Human: "Oh. I'm... sorry, I had the most horrible dream last night. It made me wake up in the middle of the night and I couldn't fall back asleep."
Alien: (Still irritated, guiding them to a safer spot) "Not a good excuse. Also, what's a dream?"
Human: (Gives the alien a look) "You don't ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฎ? When humans fall asleep our brains, like, process the day through dreaming. It's like a movie in our heads."
Human: "The one I had scared me, so I didn't want to fall asleep again."
Alien: "That sounds incredibly made up. You see movies in your sleep that your brain made?"
Alien: "It also sounds exhausting. You just never get any rest?"
Human: "I'm still sleeping ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ช๐ญ๐ฆ I dream. So it counts."
(They both fall silent. The human knows exactly what the other wants to hear.)
Human: "I dreamt meteors came down and destroyed the city. I had to float around on the ocean sitting on a pics of debris, all alone."
Alien: "You have a weird brain..."
Human: "You basically asked. Looks like someone secretly ๐ค๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด about me."
Alien: (Rolls their eyes skyward) "C'mon. I'm putting you down for a nap before you hurt yourself somehow."
