William: This guy tried to murder your sister! No remorse!



You charge forward, your damage, plus the bleed and the poison will finish this guy without a sweat, plus, he kinda did just threaten to kill your sister in cold blood.

DREAM 1: END



You wake up on top of your stairs... wait... did you sleepwalk all the way over here? Dang... you feel exhausted, you should get some breakfast.

>William: Did you sleepwalk ...or were you moved? do you have a history of sleepwaking?

>William: Take a look at the sky before you go in, it looks like a lovely day today.

>William: First breakfast, then read mspfa

William: Did you sleepwalk ...or were you moved? do you have a history of sleepwaking?



You actually do have a history of sleepwalking, when you slep at your sister's room, she'd always get spooked with you talking nonsense late at night and wondering around the house. And your father would come across your sleepwalking self late at night after he came from work, and he'd put you in bed. It's actually been a while since you've sleepwalked, and you don't think you've ever gone this far. Huh, it's a good thing you didn't fall down the stairs.

William: Take a look at the sky, it looks like a lovely day today.



You return to your side of the house

You decide to go to the backyard to take a look at the sky

The air smells fresh and clean, and the weather is warm and comforting.

William: I'm also fine, and very different from you, I had a very good night's sleep, and I know I had a very chaotic dream, something about monsters and capybaras I think, and it must have been very intense, because I sleepwalked all the way to the stairs!

William: I know right?? I should have written down my dream, it felt amazing, and like it had some sort of greater meaning??

Be Payton



You are now Payton Reed.

You are a dynamic girl that has a variety of interests, first off, you like gaming to an unholy extent, especially games typically produced by Valve, they have just always appealed to you in their simple, yet interesting concepts, as well as captivating characters and lore. You also like some good old memes, of course, as any sane teenager your age would, and you're quite a fan of retro gaming. You're also known amongst your friends for having an extremly irregular sleep schedule, this resulted from late night gaming sessions plus reading some nerdy creepypastas around some weird foundation when you were younger, and you just never got around to fixing your sleep schedule since then, but despite that, you almost never feel tired.

You'd usually just play TF2 and C.S. 1.6 until late at night after coming from school, but today is a special day, because your parents are out of town and you have to get ready for a sleepover at your best friend William's house. So, what will you do?

>Consider alternate hairstyles you may or may not have once had.

>Go to your computer and post some dank memes

You say hello to Mr. Talloran
...

He pays very little attention.

He's never been much of a talker anyway. But you love him regardless, it took quite a bit of bargaining with your mom to actually get him, and you're the one who has to take care of him since your mom is scared shitless by his presence, but even so, he was totally worth it, every single dime.

Payton: Consider alternate hairstyles you may or may not have once had.



You've had tons of different hairstyles over the years
Perhaps some things are best left forgotten, for now. 
You like your hair simple as it is now.
