stop and ask how you can help them
(and prey that there are not more of that......
thing around here)

[Prophet]

State clearly your opinion that today has quite clearly been one of the shittiest days of your life.

perhaps we wait till the popo are gone?

[WillowLuman]

Cursing silently to yourself, you pull over, and to your disappointment, the patrol car pulls ahead of you and does the same. At least they'll be approaching from the front...

An officer gets out of the car and walks up to the window. "Evenin'. Know how fast you were going there?"

[Parsely]

Cooperate, but don't volunteer any information about the back of the car unless he asks about it.

yeha.....
i was sort of just in a bad situation and I wanted to get away from there as fast as possible
i understand that that was pretty reckless of me and i'm sorry

[WillowLuman]

"Six...tyyyyyy..?"

"Well now, that is the speed limit. But you were ten over." He taps on your window. "License and registration, please."

You roll down your window a bit and start fishing around the console for your wallet. "Yeah... I was just sorta in a bad situation and I wanted to get away from it. I... I understand that was pretty reckless of me, and I'm sorry." You hand over your things.

He takes them, and tilts his head ever so slightly. "Bad situation?"

"Oh, just... a really annoying customer," you say, pointing at your windshield sticker.

"Mhm." You grit your teeth as the officer looks over your documents for five very long seconds. "Tell you what. I can tell you've been having a real bad day. I'll let you off with a warning."

"Oh... uh... thank you! It won't happen again!"

The officer hands you back your wallet. "Drive safe now."

With immense relief, you watch him get back into his car and drive off, before doing the same. All things considered, that could have gone a lot worse. Small miracles. It's seems like a long, dark drive after that, and feels a lot later than it actually is when you finally pull into your designated parking at your building. You don't care what time it is, though. You're going straight to bed. As soon as you trudge your way into your apartment, you flop over onto the couch, not even bothering to take your clothes off. Wearily, you wonder if there's anything you ought to do before you crash completely...

[Prophet]

Take a shower?

[WillowLuman]

A smidgen of responsibility goads you to sit up. If you're gonna be in this line of work, you've gotta be on top of your hygiene. Plus, a nice, warm, relaxing shower... that actually sounds pretty good right now. You toss your clothes in the hamper and climb in. It takes a bit to adjust the temperature, but soon you're spacing out, in that relaxed shower mindframe, stewing over the events of the day. Probably should check yourself for any unusual injuries... just in case. But at the end of fifteen minutes you emerge, clean and unscathed. Well, physically at least. You do feel a bit refreshed, though, and properly sleepy instead of stressed sleepy. You flop down naked on the couch, and before long are drifting off...

You're walking down familiar streets. Shadow people walk besides you, going about their shadowy lives. Everyone going off to their own myriad destinations. You couldn't begin to imagine them all. You, though... this street probably shouldn't lead into that one. It doesn't seem to matter for some reason. Your phone buzzes...

>This is a dream, and I'm dreaming, so I'm totally within my rights to be worried about the dream-stuff happening around me.
>Also what just happened was clearly supernatural so maybe I should be worrying about dreams even when I'm not dreaming right now.

[Maximum Spin]

Let's not be too whiny.

"Would you care to explain what that was, anyway?"
