We can probably jump to Emily while they walk and get her filled in. Whatever the case though, we should get moving ASAP. Seconding this, but we should stop putting sequential commands since it's unpredictable whether iP will pull a Houdini on us like today. So change this into:
> Derrick: Take inventory; show to Garreth what you bought from the store. Both: Flesh out the plan a bit more on the way there.
Seconding Kooper's command. Maybe there's an item in there that can help?
Also, is it just me, or is Derrick not responding to our commands. Like, at-all?!
This is worrying... i propose we focus on Garry for now (who can already hear us) and only appeal to Derrick when absolutely necessary.
We, uh, don't want a mental meltdown right before the big moment, do we :\

Derrick: Let's take a closer look at what I bought today, I'm not sure what will be useful.
Garreth: Sure.
You empty your bag, there's a ton of things, but not everything will be useful.

Garreth: Geez, you went all out.
Derrick: I didn't know what would be needed, so I splurged a bit, hehe...
Derrick: What do you think? Afterwards maybe some coffee would be good to keep us alert.
Garreth: I hear that.
Garreth: Hmm...
Derrick: I bought: Stuffed bear, Razor knife, Shades, Mint gum, Bandana, 8-ball, Paracord, D-rings, Cord lock, Some screws, Flashlight, Silver watch, Hourglass, Deck of cards, Duct tape, Hammer, Ballcap and a Bag of ball bearings.
Garreth: .....
The look on Garry's face is the same as always, but you sense he might be a bit overwhelmed. You don't know if you can take everything, but you don't want to leave anything useful behind. How should you proceed?

>Derrick: First off, it's important to establish what Garry would do without these items for the basis of a plan. Go through his basic plan first and then work together to figure out if there's anything that's reducing the options you can take or figure out what is likely to go wrong. Then determine what items, if any, would be helpful in mitigating that. If the answer is you don't need any items in particular then just grab some stuff that's generally useful: stuff like (but not limited to) a flashlight to see in the dark, duct tape and paracord for tying or making things, and a watch so you can make sure you know what time it is. There's two of you so you can spread things among yourselves as well.
I didn't want to say it because my post is already fairly large but we can also use some of the ball bearings and paracord together to make weapons at this point. We can relatively easily make a monkey's fist and we can take a few of those and tie them together to make a bolas. It'd just look like a keychain, or be relatively easy to conceal, and give Derrick and/or Garreth a weapon to use IRL that won't draw much attention. We can also just kinda use the ball bearings like marbles if we want to set a trap for somebody.

What did Derrick buy the hourglass for, though? I have no idea.

@Kooper I'd imagine that a lot of these are just crafting fodder for later, as it'll carry over into the dreamworld.
That said, I like the general idea of mA's post, but it's a bit long. I'm going to try to cut it down to general ideas as I don't want to limit Derrick's thinking to the specifications we can consider.
> Derrick: Discuss which items might be dangerous to have on you and which might be generally useful. Trust Garry's common sense.

You store some of the items you think will be useful, while leaving the rest behind.

Derrick: Hey Garry maybe you should leave your knife behind.
Derrick: Y'know in case it may cause us problems.
Garreth: Oh of course.
Garreth: I don't keep it on me while I'm at home.

Garreth: Exciting, isn't it?
Derrick: Huh?
Garreth: You've somewhat created a plan and are in the process of carrying it out.
Garreth: A plan has stakes, as well as risks.
Garreth: You don't know how you'll go about it as you've never done anything like this.
Garreth: I can't imagine you're not even a little excited.
Derrick: ... I don't think that's the word I'd use.
Garreth: Maybe not but... I'm impressed that someone with your character can do something like this.
Derrick: What's that supposed to mean?
Garreth: Simply, it's out of character. Something like this has to be thrusted upon you, rather than of your own design.
Garreth: But even still, your in-character response would be to shy away, or doubt you can do this.
Garreth: Instead, you're on course against the unknown.
Garreth: Does this... feel natural to you?
Derrick: No... Not at all.
Derrick: But my friend's life is on the line. There's no way I'll just let this slip by.

Garreth: It's as I've seen you, although shielded by your own views and hiding within yourself, to have greatness within you.
Garreth: This... Darkness you have as your persona is never as I've seen you in.
Garreth: Your sister however... Is another story completely.
Garreth: I've always viewed people based on actions, not appearances.
Garreth: It also comes in handy when you know about a thing rather than assuming what the thing could be.
Derrick: .... You're right.
Derrick: I'm really appreciative though!
Garreth: I know. It's refreshing.
Garreth: Let's head out now.
You arrive at the hospital. You make your presence known at the receptionist's desk.
You explain to the receptionist that you're here with your friend to see a classmate, she lets you know her room number. You quickly inquire about an overnight pass, the receptionist says that you'd need permission from her guardian unless she's over 18.

Derrick: First let me explain the run-down of everything needed.
Derrick: Lucia is on a coma in this hospital, her room is close by.
Emily: Are you sure?
Derrick: I'm positive! There's no doubt.
Derrick: Lucia has been in a coma for 8 years, I assume by the grace of her parent not giving up on her, but it seems that time has come.
Derrick: Tonight at midnight, is my window to awaken her, with a kiss.
Emily: A kiss? Like--
Emily: Oh yes... (The Angels had said this as well...)
Derrick: Pardon?
Emily: Oh... Nothing, nothing...
Emily: It seems quite fictitious, if you want my thoughts...
Emily: How do you know if it'll work?
Derrick: I was informed by her herself.
Emily: Where do you kiss her?
Derrick: I uhh... I guess lips? She didn't specify.
Emily: You know it might be reasonable to assume anywhere may work.
Emily: Leaving out a detail as crucial as that wouldn't be like her.
Emily: So if it'll make you more comfortable maybe a kiss in a less erogenous zone would be better suited. Like the forehead, or hand.
Derrick: Wow that's actually helpful information, Emily! I was uhh, extremely conscious of that detail, haha...
Derrick: Now, I brought a bunch of items, I'll go over them with you once we do some setting up.
Derrick: We're going to be staying over night to do this, I asked the reception desk if we can get overnight passes to see you, but they said that we need your parents permission because you're not 18.
Emily: My parents would not help you there... They're very protective of me, and boys that are strangers to them staying over here might worry them. Like a lot.
Derrick: Darn...!
Emily: But don't worry, I think I can help you out there.
Emily: What else?
Derrick: It's.... 6:45 now, we're closing in on 7. Maybe do some light recon work?
Emily: In that case, I'll go get you those badges.
1. Be Emily
2. Go do some light reconnaissance
