Just Another Day In A Life

It's Alright to Feel a Little Fear

(a. Nosleep – It's All Over Your Head)

Greg then wakes up, but he's dressed in a suit now, somehow — and he's in a place that looks like a lounge, only with nobody else, and he's sitting in a couch, with a coffee table in the center of the gap and another couch on the other side – it's not the only one, there's many others in other places in this rather antique lounge, very expensive, indeed.

Sometime later, a lady in a dark purple dress and a witch hat with a rather large brim sat on the other couch, and her expressions seem to be rather troubled, she places her basket with biscuits inside it on the coffee table.

She seems quite young, and both of them stare at each other in an awkward manner, and then Greg reaches out to take a biscuit out of the basket- "You're not going to take my snacks, that's for later." She speaks up, in a less shy voice, and maybe becoming a contralto, from a shaking and shy one to a badass witch, an unnerving change to a tomboy.

She then puts her legs on the coffee table, "My name is Sleepless, and welcome to this very place — hope you like it." She speaks up, "You can have a biscuit now, but take two and you're dead.", Greg then stops and goes back to his seat, horrified.

"I guess you're not taking that, but that's okay! It's alright to feel scared, I'm not bringing my stick to turn you to ash." Sleepless says, "Now you want the story to keep running, do you? Then, I'm going to ask you to do something, I want you to go to a forest to get some herbs, specifically blue peas, which do look like blue flowers, and I do believe that they're easy to find in those areas.", She then pauses for a bit to bring a small pot onto the table, "Put the herbs in this pot, and if you want to find me, I'll still be in the town, but if you see a tower, that's where I'm living.", She then checks the time, "Oh, and I'm going to the theatre, the forest shouldn't be too far away, you can walk straight and leave the city somehow into the forest, and Goodbye, best luck of you."

She then stands up, takes the biscuit basket with her, and then leaves by the door, Greg then stands up and follows her, but she's nowhere to be seen, not even very far away, her shoe steps are also non-existent, too.

The traffic seems to be busy on the roads, and the architecture seems to have changed to British 19th century and its nighttime, and there are early 20th century cars with lights — and everybody seems to be in fancy suits and dresses, so I can only assume it's a city with upper-class people.

After some time of walking, which is about an hour or something, I don't know, I ran out of ideas for this part, but Greg finally reached the border to the forest, which is blocked by a wall and a gate.

There are no guards at the gate, just only Greg and his herb pot, and suddenly, the gate opens without any sign, maybe Sleepless is using her magic from her hiding place, and now, the forest is fully open just for him.

Greg then walks into the forest, and the gate closes — I guess he's on his own, now.

But then, there's a firefly that came to him — he believes that it's trying to get it to follow where it's going, so he decides to follow it, and after a few moments, he's guided to the plant Sleepless has been asking him to get, and so, Greg picks some of the flowers off to put to his pot.

Now, on his way back, he's suddenly approached by a man — he asks where does this road go, and why is he wearing a suit in the forest, which Greg replies with nothing but silence.

Both of them later minded their own business, and Greg returned to the city safely.

Sometime later, maybe an hour or something, Greg then appears at the doorstep of the tower where Sleepless told him to go, and he's knocking at the door for a minute now. Sleepless then finally lets him in, "Sorry for keeping you so long, I had to deal with some problems upstairs." She explains, "But anyways, seems like you finally got the flowers." Sleepless then takes the herb pot and goes upstairs, which she asks Greg to follow.

"Come here." She asks Greg, which he comes over to see her put the blue peas into the large, boiling cauldron, "I'm making some medicine specifically for you, and yes, I'm aware that you're all fine, but I believe this may enhance you." Sleepless explains on what she's brewing.

Yet another sometime later- "C'mon, pass the time already!" Sleepless says angrily to the narrator, Alright, alright, I'm going to pass the time, and end this segment.

Sleepless then brings some of the mixture in the cauldron onto a mug using a ladle, and gives it to Greg. "C'mon, drink up, Greg." She tells him, which he does drink the mix — Upon drinking that, he's now dazed, and confused, Sleepless then checks her recipe book again, and the recipe for the mix says that the confusion is normal, and would disappear in not long.

Later, maybe after 30 minutes, Greg is back up again, and he's more stronger and somehow, has more control of his body more — The mixture seemed to work.

However, Greg is lying on the couch, and Sleepless seems to be sleeping on the chair next to the cauldron, an irony to her name.

Greg manages to stand up quietly, that's great, no noise, but when he takes a single step forward, his legs get dragged by some kind of force — no aura or anything, just force – "Please don't leave yet." Sleepless then wakes up from her chair, and utters the line in a rather tired voice, "We still have more things to do."

(b. Instructions)

Sleepless then brings Greg to another room, but this time, there's a table with a cup of tea on one side, which is where Sleepless decides to sit, and the biscuit basket in the middle, Greg then sits on the opposite side to Sleepless.

"So, here's what I'm thinking: I've been tracking some guy down, I don't know who he is, his name, face or even if he's alive in the first place, and the supposed grave turned out to be for his great-great father, somehow, but anyways, I'm still sorry about the rude introduction from earlier, I'll atone it some day." Sleepless speaks after sitting on the chair, and pauses for a bit to drink the tea, "It's cold, similarly to why I'm looking for him, he's been causing havoc in the town, and some of his crimes are: murder, drug dealing, bribery and tax evasion. Also he's been committing obstruction of justice, But as far as I know, the guards of Majuminister doesn't seem to be curbing his crimes, and is busy collecting tea money from him, and—" Sleepless then notices that Greg is taking a biscuit from the basket, "Alright, you can have it, but you must listen to me, because I need your help tracking him down, And now, we'll call him Mellanby, as that is the word that I can think on right now."

"Let me check the time—" She checks her watch, "Yep, I think it's quite late, you can sleep on my couch if you want."

Greg then went back upstairs, and decides to lie down on the couch and sleep.

The next day, it's morning, and Sleepless decides to walk into the room, "Good morning, Greg, now take this.", She then throws a backpack to him, "It's filled with food and other supplies.", But anyways, let's go.

Both Greg and Sleepless decide to leave the tower and decides to go on the streets, and walk to the train station.

Now at the station, Sleepless bought the train tickets, "I believe that Mellanby would be in Nusquam Ubica, which I think that the train to it would be on Lane 2." Sleepless speaks, and both of them waited for the train to come. Around a hour and a half later, the train finally comes, the both gets on the train alongside some other passengers who were also willing to go there, too.
