The Nomad Chronicles

[I]abridged[/I]

I meet Raven near the base of the Tower with BanYanLand in the background. She says something about 'silly lion.' Apparently I morphed into a big werelion. She creates a portal to MoSh's Inner World.

We are in front of his house. There are weeds in the yard. He stumbles out, and doesn't seem to notice there is anything wrong, either with the yard, or his fuckin FACE AND THERE IS THIS CRAZY BLACK SLIME MOLD SHIT RIGHT ON HIS FUCKIN FACE!

It crawls out of his nose, and covers his entire upper face. Asuka silently screams. SHIT SHIT SHIT.

I create a portal behind MoSh to the Healing Glen, and tackle him. Raven follows behind.

MoSh gets pissed off at me for tackling him, and shoves me off. What the fuck is wrong with you Nomad?

I just turn on my energy shield, and play my didjeridoo.

Raven tries to explain about the shit on his face, but he doesn't notice. I figure out the thing's primary frequency, secondary frequency... I focus on its dream-matter.... I scan it... and LASER BOMB THAT BEEYOTCH. It vaporizes. There are a few little flecks which a dog comes and licks off. It playfully bites MoSh. He looks at his hands.

Normal. I must be dreaming.

Well, that was a weird RC man.

It's just that they always look so weird in waking life.

Oh... okay...

Well, you had some weird shit... a parasite on your face, of dark energy..

Oh, really?

It was distorting your perception.

Oh, right. I can see a lot better now.

It was gross man.

Really.

Yes! says Raven. Anyway, let's go back. Asuka is worried.

We go back.

Asuka runs up and hugs MoSh, and ruffles his hair. Thanks, guys, she says, and kisses him on the cheek. She looks him in the eyes.

Do you see me okay, now? Do you hear what I am saying?

She says something in simple Japanese, but I don't know what it is... something like, do you like my cooking?

He says, Hai.

Okay, she laughs. You are perceiving me correctly now, she says in a thick Japanese accent.

They kiss, and MoSh vanishes.

Darn, he woke up!

MoSh reappears a second later.

"Hey, it worked!" he says.

"It always works, silly. You just don't always remember. It's okay. You people are like Alzheimer's patients. Your dream memories are some of the most under-evolved in the universe!"
