December 28th, 2005

I graduate to the University. It is surrounded by fields and swamps.
...The university is secretly using fey creatures to work the fields...
...The university alternates between being in the nineteenth century and a post-apocalytic future...
I move into my room. My room has no walls but merely purple curtains separating it from the other rooms. It is the central third of the boarding house. The headmistresses live in the last third and the female students the first third. I have to pee. I can find no bathroom in my room. I walk out to the patio and pee off the side. The patio was built of flagstone and glass. I look over at the neighboring house and am fascinated. I see, through a window, an older student studying. I fall in love.
...I realize this is a movie. I know the plot. She is in love with a bookish bore played by Kyle McLaughlin...
...The end of the movie is we end up together...
I can not figure out how to get from my building to hers. I pee on the deck again when I notice that my mother and the headmistresses can see me. Uh-oh. Then I wonder how I ended up naked. I rush to my room to find a pair of pants. Instead I find my insignia card. My mother and the headmistresses leave. I sneak out for the big party. I find my love intrest at the party. I talk to her a little bit then start to dance. A pretend dance as if I was a native chief.
...I hear drums and feel another world the more I dance...
She laughs. The bookish bore is studying instead of partying. I try to get him to join in. He refuses.
"I prefer the company of more mature people," he snaps.
She leaves with him.
"Damn."
I walk to a nearby window to watch her walk away. Instead I see a group of the fey field workers storming the university. The dwarves, then the other workers, throw their implements and tools onto the campus lawn. They are shouting. Then they riot. The campus is being torn apart. A fire starts. The leader of the fey folk rides through the flames. I can make out his mohawk haircut, but not what he is riding.
"I hope he is a centaur," I think.
He moves closer and I see he is riding a giant bug.
...The bug exists in the post-apocalyptic future...
"Maybe they are not fey," I think.
He leads the fey folk through the a wall of vines and plants in the swamps.
..My awareness leaves my body and moves to see the University Elders in their meeting room...
A university elder tells the others not to worry. We have our own defenses.
...My awareness moves again to see the plants in the swamp grow giant mouths. Cannibal plants! The plants then start to spit at the fey folk...
