___________________________________________________
You wake up around noon, hearing the birds chirp as you blink your eye and rub it, walking lazily to the bathroom and peeling off the bandage to see that your eye now looks better, just still slightly pinkish, like the center of a medium rare burger as you toss the bandage away and walk towards the couch and lay down on it, closing your eyes and relaxing, or at least trying to
(Richard)"ugh damn it. I need some fresh air and sunlight or something."
You say before throwing on a comfortable pair of jeans and a t shirt as you grab the keys and lock the door as you leave.
(Richard)"ah this is nice. The sun is warm today and the weather is comfortable"
You say as you walk down the street, just enjoying the walk as you see a sign saying 'Park' and an arrow pointing right as you cross the street and head into the park area, seeing the green grass and big trees with green leaves as you lay back and relax, enjoying how the sun warms your skin
(Richard)"this place is peaceful. I guess its not really visited often"
You say as you slip into sleep with a slight smile on your face
You open your eyes, but not to the park you were just in. Instead you open them to, nothing. You see nothing but void
(Richard)"a place like this could drive a man insane"
You say to yourself as your voice echoes further and further away, soon fading entirely before you hear something, a foreign noise
(Richard)"'now what's that I'm hearing? It couldn't be in the park, it sounds too....mechanical to be that"'
You then hear the sound of a music box seemingly being wound down, until eventually you hear the same tune now being sung by a feminine voice as you turn to face your visitor
(Mari)"hello there Richy"
She says as you lift one eyebrow
(Richard)"of all the names I have heard, Richy, is not one of them"
You say as Mari smiles
(Mari)"well I figured it was fitting for us to have a little connection, especially since our first interaction was so, intimate"
She says with a smile as you smile slightly, blushing at her confident look on her face as you take a deep breath
(Richard)"that was certainly odd but, nevertheless enjoyable. However, how and why are you here exactly?"
You ask as she smiles
(Mari)"what do you mean? A friend cant drop by for a visit?"
She says as you play along
(Richard)"well then come on in the door to the house is right here"
You say, waving your hands behind you as you smack a knuckle against wood, turning to see a large door leading to a house as you do a double take
(Mari)"this is your dream state you know, like I said I'm just a visitor"
She says as you walk into the house and hold the door open for her and motion her in before closing the door behind you
(Richard)"so anything I can think of can come here?"
You ask her
(Mari)"well to an extent, yes. Being here means that your thoughts can be manifested, if you do a purposeful gesture and think about what you want"
