(( Just woke up, at midday, and I had this bizarre dream. It was a forum game/RTD run by Piecewise, (in what I remember of the dream I experienced it in the first person, but it definitely was a game) where the players were basically... well, I'm pretty sure we started out as humans, but there were pretty much unlimited possibilities along the lines of superpowers, monstrous appearance changes, etc.
Anyway, stuff went on, I think the players were kinda supposed to be doing something heroic but I don't remember and it isn't important as I'm pretty sure most of us just said 'fuck it' anyway. I remember one part where we (I think the player characters were part of one organization) had just taken down some evil dude's base, presumably killing all his minions horribly, and I took the time to gather up all their submachineguns.
At first it was just because I had full ammo on my current one but my acquisitive nature kicked in and I wanted MORE BULLETS, but then I decided I could one day use them to outfit my own world-conquering army, too!
I got some strange looks from one or two more 'heroic' members of the team.
A funny thing, is that I was reaching into the game with my real hands to pick up the guns (which were the size of small toys, pinched between my fingers) and placing them in a bag so my character could take them.
I think I was wearing goggles. That's pretty much all I remember about my character, although later on in the dream I believe another player was kidnapping someone (NPC?) important to me from what looked like a giant floating petfood bowl, and I flew after them (through space, I believe) wearing a bath towel as a cape.
I was also some kind of furry woodland creature with super powers. What.
And then, towards the end of the dream, it suddenly became apparent in some big shocking reveal that all the characters, who were referred to as numbers, were actually gigantic metaphors by Piecewise about the player/their character's actions/appearance/and such.
There was some system like SCPs, but the code numbers were a lot smaller, and Piecewise had been adding together several of those to get the code number that was applied to each character. So basically, the more horrific, fucked up and evil the character was, the higher their number.
The highest number belonged to some horrifying, inhuman monster with all kinds of snapping jaws and fangs and whatnot, I'm pretty sure they were 55.
I was somewhere in the 30s/40s. Not a
complete monster, but still not an actual hero.
There was another bit with a character shaped like a star, who was more of a good guy, and he was very pleased to find another character shaped like a star, but was then shocked, confused and hurt when they viciously attacked him as he tried to befriend them.
Can't remember a great deal more of the dream, but I can remember seeing Piecewise at one point, with a manic expression, a pipe clenched in his teeth as he worked feverishly on the next turn. I believe he was also cackling madly.
Believe it or not, this was far more coherent and sensible than most of the dreams I have.
