This Place Is A Trap

 

//ERROR// //ERROR// [. . .] [THE CHURCH IS FULL TO BURSTING, MASK-CLAD FIGURES STANDING SILENTLY. THE ONLY ONE UNMASKED IS THE PRIEST, STANDING BEHIND THE ALTAR, EYES DARK AND REVERENT.

I am not okay God, i am so not okay This is so so so bad There's other people with Silas. I think he knows I'm here. He's saying all these things about why I'm sick and what my dad let Penumbra do to me. dad isn't saying anything why isn't he saying anything did he do this to me on purpose?/ My dream...my dream... oh fuck something's happening

Um...so, Silas is here. He's talking with my dad, and my dad is NOT happy. I don't know why Silas thought it was a good idea to just knock on the front door, not when my parents hate him so much.  I'm trying to see if I can spy without drawing their attention. I'll keep you all updated. This won't end well, I can feel it.

I had a really weird dream last night. At least, I think it was a dream. I woke up and my head was pounding like it did after I remembered that other timeline, or whatever it was.  At first, it was nice. It was me and this guy (Rei, I think his name was?) on a date. We were at a football game, which is something I didn't know I knew about until now. We weren't really there for the game though. We were there for something else. I can't remember what it was. We had popcorn and sodas though, and we went off to meet up with some friends.  Then it changed. I woke up somewhere that I didn't recognize. Dream me was scared, and had been for a while. I felt...a lot younger in this part of the dream than in the part with Rei. Like I was a tiny child. This green-faced figure had dragged me into this blank white-walled room with a chair and a table in it, and a counter against one wall, I think. The figure was like, bald or something, but there were white strips all over their face...

Something weird happened. Well, weirder than normal.  It was like...like time slipped, almost. Time is weird here all the time, but this felt different.  You know when you press pause on something you're watching?  Or when you skip ahead to your favorite scenes?  It was weird. Did you guys feel anything strange happen to you? Time doesn't seem to work the same for you all.
