Drunk and Bitter Messiahs, Table for One

[triadruid]

The major dream adventure of last night/this morning was another one of those Sit-up-and-go-huh? types: I was apparently the What If? version of Luke Skywalker, having never found my destiny. I had gone to (and possibly flunked out of) the Imperial Academy, and either way, ended up in Mos ...Hemphrah? and drinking my troubles away. On my way to the cantina, however, I am bumped into by a 5' tall guy in black cape and mask (or at least, he's short than average and significantly shorter than my dream self), who mutters something and steps out of the way... then stops and does the slow turn.

Of course, I've never met Darth Vader in this reality, so I have no idea who this creep is. Suddenly, he's wildly interested in talking to me, which leads to a farcial chase around the building, with me on one side of a low wall and him on the other, saying "But I have to talk to you! It's very important!" He even draws his (blue?) lightsaber at one point to get me to pay attention, but I shove him back and take off.

It seems that this somehow leads to me breaking into someone's house to escape my strange pursuer. No one seems to be home, so a la Pulp Fiction, I make myself at home for a while and then leave, conveniently leaving behind my grenade launcher pistol (a bit like a sawed-off shotgun that fires World War I-era stick grenades). So I have to break back into the house, at which point the original occupants are there, so there's a lot of dashing from room to room... and then I think I woke up.

featherynscale thinks my shadow self is 5' tall, I'm wondering if I just should have eaten dinner last night.

Mos Hamphorasch?

Anyway, don't blame me if you ignore your cute little menacing shadow until it strikes you down in anger, etc.

Actually, that was the online equivalent of Eddie Izzard trailing off into obscurity... I'm not sure the place ever had a name, except that it was definably of the "Mos" type of city.

Excellent word recall, however.

Heh. I do what I can.

I will say this...

Don't cross the dream streams, Ray.

It will be bad.

And surely, it was!
