“Seriously” I groaned “where do you people go to the bathroom?” “Ho-ho-ho” guffawed Martialla like a dinner theater Friar Tuck in a production of Robin Hood and his Merry Men “we won’t be back to the scented baths of Shelhadrizar for quite a while my dainty friend! There’s a quest afoot!” I glared at her “I know you know what I mean, don’t need to take a bath I need to take a dump!” Rikheart Steel frowned “What do you need to dump? You’re barely carrying anything.” Before I could even tell them both to forget it Pikkewyn trotted up…

There’s a thing in fiction or storytelling. The call to action. You’re just fishing with your brother and then Jesus walks by and says “mount up assholes it’s time to ride”. Or you’re just sitting in your Hobbit-hole getting super duper high and Gandalf shows up and says “it’s go time mother fucker”. And so forth. It’s not super important why the hero goes on the adventure, for the story to happen they have to go. I had a friend (no really I did!) whose boyfriend cheated on her and she hated her job and this and that and the…

“I know what you’re thinking, if none of this is real why not go on a killing rampage? Here’s why I hesitate to do that, if I’m mentally divergent that could mean that I’ll still interacting with people for real. I may see a Gildarian blacksmith but in reality that could be an Uber drive. I could be slaughtering people in the real world. Plus there’s always the chance that this is real, small though that chance may be. Ah, but doesn’t that argue against my current course of action since I would be putting myself in danger? Which would…

Somehow even though she got blasted full in the face with a rock-hammer and I just got hit with an arrow shaft I had a worse bruise than Martialla. Her whole head should have been nothing but a bruise. Granted I wasn’t the one blowing blood out my nose in alarming volumes but still it didn’t seem fair or right. She swallowed some pills with a swig of White Claw and then rattled the pill bottle at me “You want one?” “No thanks. Is that how that always goes?” She raised an eyebrow “Almost dying? No, that’s the first time…

“It can’t . . . it can’t be real. It can’t be real. It can’t be real because it’s impossible. And even if it was possible it makes no sense. I’m not in the show. I’m not a character. How could it be real? Because it’s impossible so it can’t be real.” You know that “game over man” scene in Aliens (two hundred ten million domestic adjusted for inflation) where Bill Paxton (or was it Bill Pullman? Bull Paxman? Pill Bullman?) is freaking out? Of course you do, it’s an iconic scene that’s been memed to death. I think that’s…

It’s stupid for sure but at first I thought it was part of the ride. It makes more sense than the truth. I thought there was some kind of switcheroo and the cave was just another part of the roller coaster, like one of those rides were you go through a tunnel and there’s screens that project a video of a canyon. I’m sure they have a name for that in the theme park game but I don’t know what it is. It was like a mine cart ride at a cowboy theme park is what it was. Just some…
